I wouldn’t necessarily chalk it up to laziness or whatever. Imo it’s just different games do different things differently. It doesn’t break my immersion or mean the game is less fun to me.

I don’t understand what you mean.

In Oblivion Remastered, in third-person, when you run in a straight line either left or right your character will do this kind of sideways/backwards jog instead of straight-up strafing like they’ll do in Morrowind.

Imo either one makes sense when compared to real life, but maybe I’ve just been playing games too long?

God the Oblivion Remaster is seriously one of the best looking games I’ve ever played. I love the new looks for almost everything, but the window effect on Oblivion gates still feels a little off to me. It still looks cool though.

I still can’t get over just how good everything looks though.

I’m surprised you think it’s repetitive and it makes you want to go back to Skyrim lol.

But that said, anytime I play an Elder Scrolls game, I always get the urge to play the other ones too, so I get it. It usually ends up taking months of my life away whenever it happens though.

I’ve been playing the Remaster and it looks immaculate, and it’s the same game. Different strokes I know, but I am loving the Remaster so far.

That said, I got Schedule 1 the other night and I put in two all-nighters already so far. That game is addicting - like the crack you can cook and sell in it.

You’d be surprised. There are/were mods for Marvel’s Spider-Man to replace the Pride flags flying around NYC to American flags. I’m almost positive there were some fucked up ones for the Miles Morales game too.

My mom orders stuff from them all the time. We don’t even use the spices fast enough but she gets more, usually for her friends too though.

Hell it happens here on Lemmy. And tbh I’ve thought about doing it too, shit’s way too depressing right now.

Maybe it was something like a word-swap mod to change “type 1/type 2” to “male/female” that got banned?

No clue. /s

ETA: which, I saw a couple posts in the steam discussions “celebrating” that Nexus put that mod back up. Like how fucking childish do you have to be to actually go out of your way to make a post like that? Saying shit like “I bet all the people who complained about it in the first place are CRYING right now!” It’s literally changing some words in a menu of a fucking video game

Everyone gains collective amnesia about all the good times they had playing/modding Bethesda games whenever they’re in the news cycle for some reason. It’s kind of fascinating/frustrating.

Add in the fact that a lot of these people have regressed over the past 10 or so years to the point where they think like 12-13 year olds again, and we get this whole “anti-woke gamer” bullshit.

To be completely fair though, I had to go out of my way to find people shitting on the game for even being “woke” in the first place. I saw the type 1/type 2 body type when I was making my character, but I just figured it was a natural progression since every other game with a character creator in the last 5 years has done away with gendered body types, and Oblivion is such a classic that it might have been overlooked; sadly not. In my head though (also because duh, it’s obvious if you use your eyes) I ascribe each to male or female, and it took me like a second to get through that entire thought process.

Been playing nonstop since it came out. I’m already level 30, almost done with Mages Guild and nothing else.

It’s back.

G*mers are so far gone I’m not sure we can save them at this point.

Edit: dude literally believes people are gonna hack into your PC and uninstall certain mods or games if it doesn’t fit with a certain worldview in a couple years. If anything, the only evidence I’ve seen for people to totally censor shit like video games (and other media) is nazis Republicans.

Well, this is a discussion thread, and I found some shit I need to discuss, although not with the game itself directly, but with “fans” and other G*mers:

This chucklefuck is actually getting some attention and people agree with them. The human race is fucked if the average person thinks like this on a daily basis. I’m not sure what’s worse; the out in the open bigotr, or the fact that they’re apparently okay with the current administration turning the government a completely fascist regime, or let alone they think this administration is “too soft” on perceived entertainment slights.

Like why does reality have to be so shit?

I understand that, and I care who I give my money to as well.

But almost every game nowadays has that clause, and almost every game regardless of single player or not, has mods for it.

This is also a Bethesda game. People are going to mod it out the ass regardless of what a few words in a text box say. The fact you think it means anything like we’ll never get official mod support is pretty cooked tbh.

Damn, I didn’t realize that you not being able to undo an update that they most likely had planned for at least a year or two to coincide with the release of the Fallout show led to you boycotting all things Bethesda.

I didn’t know Todd personally fucked with your rig to force you to live with the next-gen update and not be able to play a mod. I guess he’s just going around to everyone’s place and making sure they have all their Bethesda games fully up to date so they’re mods keep getting fucked with.

That means literally nothing to modders, and about 99% of gamers, at all.

I’m even surprised people had enough energy/time/whatever to even scour the EULA at the very beginning.

Especially cause it’s just “Oblivion but shiny”

I love the game and I’m having a blast, but I could definitely see someone whose life revolves around TES anyway to get a bit bored with it already.

If you’re anything like me and have done an Oblivion playthrough at least once every year or two since it came out in 2006.

I mean, I’m sure they couldn’t charge for Skyblivion in the first place. I get that it’s a huge undertaking and all, but they’re still using someone else’s assets and engine that they didn’t get the official license for unlike Obsidian with Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout: London didn’t charge, I’m sure for exactly the same reason.

More TES is always a win imo

Bro, literally. Bethesda drops the next-gen update for Fallout 4 right before the show/Fallout: London mod releases, and everyone and their mother believes Bethesda is purposefully sabotaging the FO: Lon team by doing so. Once the dust settles, everyone just goes “oopsie, wasn’t me 🤭”

Bethesda “shadow-drops” (there were plenty of leaks and no one seemed to dispute the claims anyway) the release of Oblivion Remastered right when there’s a ton of talk about Skyblivion recently being close to completion, and everyone and their mother once again blames Bethesda for purposefully doing so to sabotage yet another huge mod team. When in reality, Bethesda gave copies to each of the team members who are actively working on said project for free as a token of appreciation for being such devoted fans of the IP in the first place.

It’s like everyone has these weird “anti-Bethesda” blinders on whenever there’s a new thing from them in the news that gathers any bit of hype. Even the Bethesda fanboys are guilty of this.
