    MHM (@MrHooboMaster) reported

    @YC_0015 It was the equivelant of Bethesda and Todd Howard announcing Elder Scrolls 6 despite not wanting to for the good PR it would create / save face from their live service (for them Fallout 76)

    @LouisV1099 @PostUp_SOG It can work if they make Helix cheap. And make Elder scrolls, Halo, Gears, Forza, crash bandicoot, Spyro, Overwatch single player game at a consistent pace. Sony can’t match that volume.

    I was thinking about this earlier. Bethesda was so enormous that they had their own stage show dropping games left and right. Now it's just live service Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online and Doom stuff. What a dropoff.

    @Kylerm146110M @JuiceHead33 I don't imagine they will, live service and games with a long multi-platform legacy like Elder Scrolls and Fallout will likely stay multiplat But we will see, things have been changing quickly

    @summergamefest i don't really have a definitive fav xbox franchise but here's a few of my fav xbox franchise in no piticular order. halo, banjo - kazooie, spyro the dragon, crash bandicoot, skylanders, fable & the elder scrolls.

    @Bielbelial1 @ddggarciaz This is the problem i have with Sony fanboys you can't stop telling lies. For one that list is bullshit your showing life time sales of playstation games. Let's be real for a second Minecraft and Elder Scrolls dog walks anything Sony could ever do.

    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

  • JellalVT
    Jellal Alaric (@JellalVT) reported

    @Tenkay23 @IdleSloth84_ I think SOD3 is a “live service” title. And I think that Senua may be a smaller project that they don’t see selling consoles. It’s all speculation, but BIG SP games is what I’m thinking. Gears, Halo and fable (going forward), Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc

  • MarkMannX
    Mark (@MarkMannX) reported

    @Ylliaster @temp_anon1 Black Myth Wukong, Borderlands 4, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Mindseye, and some more. Honestly, I think the problems with UE5 are mostly over hated since people don't upgrade hardware, but the fact is that these bad ports absolutely exist and there are absolutely diminishing returns.

  • marienritter_
    Marienritter (@marienritter_) reported

    @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.

  • CrikeyItsDan
    Dan (@CrikeyItsDan) reported

    @The_CrapGamer Xbox COULD be the only console that plays. Halo. Gears. Forza. Fallout. Elder Scrolls. Fable. CoD. (eventually) And more! Exclusives weren't the problem, it's that Xbox didn't have consistently great ones like Sony did. Now they could, and they gave up before even trying!

  • DaveSteinSays
    Dave Stein (@DaveSteinSays) reported

    @Genie_93 @BBCNews If Elden Ring’s servers turn off, it’s playable. ARC Raiders is useless if the server turns off. The monsters are designed to be beaten by teams unless you want to grind for some reason. There’s also special events. Most live service is the second bucket. How many people actually play the same game for years if it’s not a social game with a community? ie world of Warcraft vs elder scrolls.

  • GuitaristOnBass
    Jonas (@GuitaristOnBass) reported

    @TESOnline @LordBalvin Don't take this the wrong way, but perhaps it would be better for XBOX to bulk the live service updates into a pre-show or something. It creates a weird dynamic in the showcase to mix them with new titles, not creating the best reactions in viewers— which you don't want either.

    @JezCorden Something from Bethesda anything mainline elder scrolls/fallout not related to their live service titles lol

    @OtterRuin @TESOnline he issue is not my original statement, but that you don't understand my original statement. I don't know how to explain it any easier for you bud. Right now in 2026 the 4 original classes and weapons have ALL THE SAME SKILLS. No innovation at all. Boring AF

    @TESOnline How about fixing Night Market issues (can't turn in Dailies, can't purchase from Faction Vendor, not earning Favor AT ALL!) and the Group Finder/Dungeon Finder/Home Tours is completely down..

    @BethesdaMag Dawnwalker. Second place goes to Elder Scrolls, because the quicker we get that game released, the quicker modders can fix it

  • DebbieBurrows11

    @xycofox @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I know that feeling well ***, they did the same to me in march, I spent a week putting tickets in and asking on here to be told I had to ask Sony directly for the refund, I got it sorted within an hour by Sony. Bethesda have been aware of this problem for a while.

  • Mason__666
    FineYoungGalahad (@Mason__666) reported

    @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.

  • Asmoden3

    @TESOnline The problem is that after reaching 10000 favors you have no reason to interact with the night market anymore.

    @TESOnline The NM is so fun, I haven't been doing anything else. The only two things I see we need are more loot from ALL trials to drop randomly, and please fix the quests/arrows that seem to disappear with no sketch book to draw in, for example. The free house, once unlocked, is awesome!!

  • MasMenno
    MasMenno (@MasMenno) reported

    @Jorden1506 The only part where it could be lackluster is if you go by exclusives. The overall output of the studios has been great. Over 10 live-service games with constant updates; Diablo 4, Overwatch, Minecraft and Elder Scrolls Online are currently peaking in players. 1/2

  • Blockmaster77
    Bisssccy (@Blockmaster77) reported

    @VexTheSunEater @BethesdaStudios I don't think I even want an Elder Scrolls 6. Just take a look at the Oblivion remaster. It was full of bugs and performance issues not to mention the weird uncanny redesign of khajiits. As a fan I rather them retire Elder scrolls or sell it.

    ⛩️JacobLibtardDestroyer⛩️ (@GchimpinoutBUSH) reported

    @gamer5695 @charlieINTEL The 2.0 didn't help them it was still crap, the engine isn't even the problem with Bethesda it's the devs and Todd Howard they don't know how to make good games anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if elder scrolls 6 is a MMO and they continue with the slop.

  • 4042Walker
    Walker-4042 (@4042Walker) reported

    @TESOnline Y'all gonna fix Tales while you're at it? The game is toxic...and trying to enjoy a casual NPC match is insanely hard to do when they cheat. The players have PROVEN the NPCs cheat...Fix this. It doesn't add "difficulty", it's just patently unfair.
