    @ElderScrolls Please fix your oblivion remake game that you are ignoring, just like you ignore the next elder scrolls game because you peaked so long ago.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I bought the Starfield Premium Edition upgrade a while ago, but I still can't install the Terran Armada expansion. What's the problem? It's not included?

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Why have such a lengthy maintenance period when you still haven't banned the cheaters—the ones using hacks to glitch under the map to gain an unfair advantage in Cyrodiil? And what about the bots farming materials and experience points all across Tamriel?

    @GameOnJesse @DestinLegarie COD will be the first then Elder Scrolls, followed by the next Halo, Gears, etc. Slippery Slope. Everyone saying reduce the price don’t even realize every streaming service has gone up or had features such as 4K streaming.

    @finnoreokastro Crunch is still a problem btw if you know anything about video game devs. Crunching for a company that will fire them after the game finishes. Elder scrolls 6 got announced in 2018 btw

    @Xylus19 @Dee_Batch @klobrille I see no issue either but that’s the logic. Elder Scrolls became multi platform so I understand if future iterations are as well. As for Sony tactics, Square Enix is backing off because it’s not profitable for them. But it’s more about expectations for each 1st party studio 1/2

    I used to pre-order every @BethesdaStudios game and every @WeArePlayground Forza game. Microslop has with it's enforcement of copilot and "service" convinced me to "wait and see", I am still looking forward to Elder scrolls 6, but until I see how and if they will support external modding I won't buy it. As for Forza horizons 6, the next instalment of my favourite car franchise, I want to see it running and make sure Microsoft hasn't forced copilot into it.

    Nope. Skyrim is my first and only Elder Scrolls game and I played it back when it first released on Xbox 360. I wasn't familiar with RPG's either at the time with only Demons Souls and Mass Effect the games I played previously. Took a second but I got through it with no issues.

    @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!!

    @Pirat_Nation There is a very clear expectation from 2 totally different TITANS of the gaming industry. On one hand, Elder Scrolls 6. and on the other, GTA 6 1 is going to literally shut down countries and cause economic issues when it releases. The other one is going to be a 7/10 on IGN

  • da_asmodai
    Nicholas Hanson (@da_asmodai) reported

    I have LOTS of ideas but probably either an Elder Scrolls style open world game with procedural terrain and dungeon generaition, AI agent NPCs so their schedules were more dynamic and they had unlimited voiced dialog options. Or a MMO that fixes all the things I think are broken in them.

    @TESOnline Who the hell still plays this dry *** game bro? Your game is filled with greed, overly long quests, poor rewards, limited loot pool of items, lacking polish and tweaks and still got **** making player experience horrible that you refuse to fix despite your game going dry

    @StarfieldGame Yeah. If the standard game crashes why would we add more crap to it . Fix your games bethesda .. fallout 4 crashes , fallout 76 crashes, elder scrolls online crashes , wtf are you lot doing ? If programming is hard , go work at McDonald's or would you **** that up

  • sirvaldenn

    @Swurv__ True enough about Crimson Desert. Elder Scrolls VI has a Bethesda problem, though. Yeah, it'll make money, but not as much as if it were good. Starfield suffered because people saw and said how abysmal it was. TES VI will have the same issue.

  • Nikfor_
    𝙉𝙄𝙆𝙁𝙊𝙍 (@Nikfor_) reported

    Now that it is confirmed Call of Duty will not launch on Game Pass Day One, it naturally makes me think about how this decision could affect The Elder Scrolls VI. CoD is a first party franchise with a lot of microtransactions, so removing it from Day One shows that Microsoft is adjusting how it approaches major releases. Elder Scrolls is one of Xbox’s biggest IPs, and ES6 will almost certainly have a massive budget while being a single player game with far fewer monetisation options than a live service title. Because of that, it is reasonable to wonder whether Microsoft might use a similar strategy there as well. Do you think ES6 could also skip Day One on Game Pass, or is this change truly limited to Call of Duty? I am genuinely curious how you all see this situation. I buy a lot of games myself and I also have Game Pass, so I am looking at it from both perspectives. If live service titles with strong monetisation are difficult to support on Game Pass, it raises interesting questions about how huge single player projects fit into the model. We will see how it develops in the coming months and years. Overall I think the change makes sense, but it also brings up some valid things to think about.

    @klobrille Key is, you have to have exclusive games people want to play. That's been the problem with Xbox for over a decade. I think the only game they could make exclusive that would really move the needle is Elder Scrolls 6. And I doubt they would have the stones to do that.

  • GetFitWithJared
    Jared Shapiro (@GetFitWithJared) reported

    @xonebros I think long running franchises like Elder Scrolls, GTA and even my beloved Halo are in for a rude awakening. The gap between their entries is way too wide. We've gone from 3-5 years to 10-12 or more. The fans of the previous games move on and in some cases become developers themselves. That's where we see games like Crimson Desert, Expedition 33 and more come into the picture. These developers were inspired by the old franchises and made their own games with passion. GTA, Elder Scrolls and Halo are now established corporate franchises. Each entry has come out feeling more like it's trying to appease a corporate overlord that's demanding more revenue be generated from a single title instead of creating a one and done game in a timely manner New gamers are also coming along that aren't familiar with said franchises due to the gap in releases. A kid born on the release day for Skyrim is now in high school. They grew up with Skyrim being "that old game that Dad liked". While some may have gotten curious and gone back to experience and enjoy Skyrim (much like I went back to experience and later love Pac-Man and Donkey Kong), many just played whatever the new hotness was. In many cases, that was a cheap or free to play live service title like Fortnite, Roblox or Minecraft that could be experienced on any device they owned. Elder Scrolls VI and other legacy franchises have to deal with these. I think GTA 6 is going to be a massive test for these legacy titles and I don't think it's going to sell as strong as people think. A combination of unfamiliarity with GTA in Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the inflated cost of modern AAA will be a massive deterrent. I'm sure my fellow Millennial and Gen X gamers will buy it...assuming they haven't aged out of the hobby. Sadly, as that terrible Game Rant top 10 🐐 of gaming survey showed, we're becoming a rare breed in the industry.

    @vingadorbrambz Even though I don't really care about Call of Duty where does it stop though next year when the next lot of big AAA games coming out which one of them cost too much to make to put in the service and what about the next Elder Scrolls all Fallout game

    @jizzle701 I don't take no ***** seriously when they mention Elder scrolls bro them shits is boring as **** with trash combat that relieson the community to fix the game & create content. DD2 has it's flaws but I'd play that over any Bethesda game any day.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Crossplay or not we pay for a service and this maintenance means most people can’t play today

  • LegateCorvus
    Corvus (Taylor's Version) 🏳️‍⚧️ (@LegateCorvus) reported

    @Swurv__ That's the main problem. Bethesda perfectly knows that they could sell a pack of **** branded "elder scrolls 6" people would buy it without thinking. That's what they do for 10 years now.

  • Senninsage
    SenjutsuSage (@Senninsage) reported

    @Johnnymetal80 @Septic_Sauce The anticipation for the follow-up to Skyrim is a money maker approaching GTA. A lot more upfront sales will be lost with Elder Scrolls 6, so with this move I no longer have confidence in Game Pass as a service. It was about guarantees, no doubt, and that's now gone.

    @TESOnline This is all great, but can you fix control layout B? You don't junk until you Release the thumbstick. Imagine if you didn't jump until you released the face button. It's awful and has been broken for years now.
