  As funny as this is, it speaks to the expectations that Bethesda have setup for themselves as publishers and developers, and this year’s showcase exemplified this perfectly. Fans have been expecting MORE from Bethesda and will continue to expect MORE from Bethesda, and it just feels like no matter what kind of feedback they receive, they simply will not back down from showing the millionth update for their live service titles on a show stage that is better served for more exciting announcements, like the DOOM story DLC, Blade, Wolfenstein 3 and yes, even Elder Scrolls VI.

  @katanaollie @Wario64 They do third party deals - the issue Xbox faces is that they have to pay more because they have less market share to make up for the sales difference. The only way to gain attention is either overpay (they have every year) or earn attention through creations. Why would you want Elder Scrolls and Fallout exclusive? What does this bring to an Xbox user? These entities are multiplatform and using your wealth to control the market entity and rug pull is dangerous.

  @djkkyle @orielkiller @shinobi602 I don’t live on Twitter, FMS was broken at launch, same with halo infinite, starfield did well, the rest are good but not system sellers like gears, next mainline balo, elder scrolls 6 etc.

  @pipkinpippa @Aquadile96 Its gameplay was okay, but its lore causes a lot of problems. You didn’t play the earlier games so you wouldn’t see it, but that’s really what divides the Elder Scrolls community over it.

  @TESOnline Servers down again? You clowns already cost everyone a full day on the last shut down which cut into people's "paid subscription" time, there had better be some compensation waiting in the crown store.

  I’ve been quieter on this account just because I try to keep my non Hellaverse yapping over to my side account as much as possible. Mostly talking about media/books I love. If you want to see me crash out when we get no news again about Elder Scrolls 6 tomorrow, it’ll be here

  @Colteastwood Which ones? How do they choose? Do I need an XBOX to play Elder Scrolls VI? How about the next Halo? Right now, no one knows. And that’s a huge problem for player acquisition. I need a Switch to play the next Mario and Zelda, I need a PS to play God of War and Spider-Man. XBOX?

  @PaulTassi @mjHushpuppy Phil really dug a hole for Asha before he left. I wouldnt be surprised if Asha never wanted Halo, Forza 5 & 6, or Fable to come to the PS5. It was never her decision, but at the same time, if she takes them away she will face the backlash because they are already present in the PS Store. Blade will be a Console Exclusive, that much is kinda obvious. Sony has their super heroes and now XBOX has Blade, its only fitting. They said that Live service games will be multiplatform and everything else will be a "case by case" scenario.. this is why I believe that having The Elder Scrolls 6 on XBOX and PC alone, is probably a discussion being had... Now will that happen... Im leaning more towards "No". But if it happens, Im buying an XBOX. I have to play The Elder Scrolls 6 no matter what. I dont think its the platform, its the game. If The Elder Scrolls 6 isnt on Playstation, that wont stop me from getting it. To be honest, I would sell my Playstation to get an XBOX to play TES6 and I can still play GTA6 but not vice versa. And to me personally TES6 > GTA6.

  If the fix for Xbox is “more Halo, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls,” that’s not a strategy. That’s a confession that the bench is thin. Speeding up legacy franchises only works if the games stay distinct. Otherwise you get expensive factory output with a familiar logo.

  @IGN Rushing The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Halo just to pad the balance sheet for a corporate spinoff is how you get unpolished, broken games at launch. If Asha Sharma forces these studios to sprint to the finish line, she’s going to permanently damage Xbox’s biggest IPs

  Curse (@Cursemark143) reported 30 minutes ago

  @tris_ko_nel @mjHushpuppy Well "why now" is because of Asha. Her and Phil's idea of what Xbox should be differ from one another. It was so bad that people thought Xbox was becoming a Publisher rather a Platform competitor and the expectation was that they would eventually ditch the console all together. And Gears of War is not Live Service like Elder Scrolls Online. Gears main attraction is the Story & Coop play. Now to answer "why get an XBOX if its on PC". If you have a PC chances are you are content already because you will have access to XBOX. But for those that only have a PS5 and like having a console over a PC (which is a lot of damn people), the only real way I can see them converting, is exclusives. Great games sell consoles. There a lot of people that still have PS4's and cant afford a PC or PS5 (which has risen in price.) If Asha is trying to make everything at XBOX affordable again with Gamepass, future consoles, and a great line up of exclusives than I believe XBOX can become a huge competitor again for Console sales. I mean idk if Im alone on this, but like I said if I didnt have a PC, and The Elder Scrolls 6 was locked to XBOX/PC, I would buy an XBOX. The same reason applies to GTA6. Its not releasing on PC until after console, and its because Sony expects people to buy their console for ONE game. If you can lock down ONE insanely good game, you can sell your console like hot cakes. If TES6 is locked to XBOX I can see XBOX's getting sold left and right. But maybe Im just glazing The Elder Scrolls lol idk

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Hello! RachealLivespent275 is my username for pc na eso. I’ve been playing since right before murkmire. Nowadays, there’s a serious memory leak issue. I even disabled all adding thinking it was that, but my fps eventually dipped to the point I get booted from the game and can’t log in for 5minutes. Groups kick my toon and I lose tons of potential experience.

  @TESOnline @TheJackalAgenda What I want to see happen with ESO as the game continues to evolve is the pure classes actually to FEEL Close to the lore. Each should have a key strength and weakness. The entire combat system should revolve around that, not a meta. A Sorc should be the king of ranged AOE/Bombs, weak up close, or no shields. A Nightblade should be the king of single-target damage and deleting any player (burst), scaled from their health/armor if they take the time to hunt undetected. But it's the sacrifice of being a glass cannon. An Arcanist should be the king of ranged single-target damage. And a Dragonknight should be the king of toe-to-toe battles, one-on-one, but not as bursty, but very strong defensively, as the standard well-balanced of all, but not superior to the rest. Right now, you have kill screens filled with me, too, DKs, and it's like watching the Clone Wars in Cyro. But each of these characters should be a toolbox in its own right for vet players. Is there a necro tank that refuses to die? Grab the Arcanist beam to the face, huge DOT, and problem solved. Are there nightblades all over the little village? Grab the sorc and start raining huge AOE’s to reveal and drop. A pesky Templar that won't go down? Grab the Dragonknight. But the combat system has felt for years like it was tailored to the sets and mythics rather than to specific characters to upgrade your toolkit. I was deeply disappointed in this video when Asmon who I enjoy flat out walked away from camera for two whole minutes during your game showcase. Then I had to look up why. And apparently, he criticized the combat system in 2019, saying it was clunky and dropped the game entirely, though he noted it was beautiful. That should concern you. These things should make sense to the average player. Feel like a quiet solo night hunting alone? Nightblade. Feel like brawling it out in a fistfight with a large group. DK. Want to try ranged bombing? Arcanist. But tie it all together, please make the story and the battles make sense with the combat instead of making one way overpowered character (DK), everyone copies, and you get the same kill screen. Otherwise, you are going to turn average NEW players away, and I really love this game a lot to go forever, especially all the friends I've made :) See where I'm going? I don't want to play the meta, I want to play what fits my playstyle and themes for that mood. Why wouldn't a High Elf magika Sorc be the best for PVP instead of stamina? So keep going, EVEN if it ruffles the feathers of the sweaties who don't want change or to keep it the same old same. Those people retire and need to be replaced over time anyway, and you want to sell more shinys, right? Please pass it on @TESOnline

  Managed to somewhat fix the screen tearing by turning VSync on and capping framerate at 30, but the pop in is still atrocious. Other than that, it’s a fantastic game and really scratches the Elder Scrolls itch. Just, maybe play it on PC if you have one.

  FineYoungGalahad (@Mason__666) reported 38 minutes ago

  @matt_gerken @JBishie @ballmatthew That's my point. They still had more focus on PS. 3 new announced games vs 2 for Xbox. If they really want to get back in the game, they need to make it all exclusive except for MP/Live service. Even the big stuff, Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Stuff that WILL sell hardware.

  Foxhound_N10 (@Foxhound_N10) reported 41 minutes ago

  @TESOnline Also, @TESOnline, one thing I’d like to see change for the future. There's one huge problem in Grayhost Cyrodill, and it dulls the game. NOBODY WANTS TO DIE, and I'm not talking about coordinated ball groups; I'm talking about other solo players where eight people are chasing them, and they can not only wipe all of them but heal through everything. I'm a solo and a fight die repeat, no biggie. But the endless chases where one person can stop play so we can’t move on to something new are annoying. If they are good to 1 v 3, fine, but NOT entire armies for one person. Make some bunker buster sets and mythics, please and thanks :)

  @GameOverThirty @HoegLaw Case in point: Elder Scrolls VI Most people are already jumping on the idea it’d fall under the “single player, therefore exclusive” idea, but Bethesda games are really more broad platforms themselves with mods and such like a “live service” would be

  @G27Status @BethesdaStudios @bethesda now look at this and do something with Oblivion Remastered while we wait for Elder Scrolls 6. An expansion that takes us to a part of where elder scrolls 6 takes place would be sick. And for the love of god, please fix the memory leak issue.

  Nintendo Prime (@NintyPrime) reported 48 minutes ago

  IMHO, it sounds like basically copying what PlayStation is doing. Is it online multiplayer service style? We got multi. Is it single player or local play only? Likely exclusive. Beyond current commitments, as he said. Elder Scrolls 6 could be a killer launch exclusive for helix tbh.

  @chaosprimeZ The problem is... they won't be getting those many XBOX exclusives on the PS5 Even if XBOX hardware is insufficient, PS5 is also nowhere near to sustain a 3rd party Microsoft Gaming They will shut down most of the studios, and will only focus on CoD/Forza/Fallout/Elder Scrolls

  @XboxTimdog @HazzadorGamin i’m concerned about xbox because they literally have a single digit , lower than 5% margin. And they own my favorite ips through acquisitions! so yes i’m concerned that spyro, COD, elder scrolls, doom, crash, fallout, dishonored, warcraft, starcraft are gonna end up as trashware

  Ash (@Ashleyscowcroft) reported 53 minutes ago

  @UnkWerks @RinoTheBouncer Except it's not. It's a single player game that happens to include a multiplayer mode. A live service game is something like Destiny, The Elder Scrolls Online or Fallout 76. They tried to make Halo CE exclusive but couldn't because of various contracts already in place.
