I’m not sure if everyone’s opinion just changed over night, but saying anything bad about Skyrim or Bethesda games used to get you downvoted to hell in casual video game communities, and this is even a Bethesda community.
People praise Skyrim like it’s the greatest game ever, like it’s the only game they ever played. What happened?
It’s just poorly made (performance wise), period.
Even modern hardware struggle with that crap. The old “But will it run Crysis?” meme is even more relevant for Oblivion
What do you mean by “the user’s DNS” exactly??
You are right that Fallout 4 was better, but not by much imo. I just remember the huge disappointment I felt with Skyrim and the Fallout games, being a huge fan of Fallout 1/2, and shooters in general. Everything just felt slow and wonky.
It just never felt like a priority, which is totally fine and lots of people praise their products like they’re the pinnacle of video games, the engine just ruins it for me.
I’m actually surprised to not be downvoted to hell. If you air this opinion in front of casual gamers, like in /r/gaming, they go full Bethesda-fanboy-mode.
If you like Bethesda games for their worlds, it’s probably gonna be great. To me, the gameplay in their engine just feels really bad.
The movement, FOV, aiming, shooting, etc. just feels like they spent a few hours on it for an alpha for Morrowind and it hasn’t changed one bit since.
When you’re used to well made FPS engines, the gameplay of Skyrim and Fallout games just feels super bad, like tech demo-level bad.
I hope they finally made some changes, but they didn’t for Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, or Fallout 4, so my hope is running out.
He probably means whitelisting domains when posting already uploaded images, clearly not having read the post
Only played the first one which was pretty good. It’s super big on character customization as it has a million race/class combinations. A bit more extreme than the rest
DOS 1 and 2 were almost on par with BG3 imo.
Pillars of Eternity was also really good.
The gameplay in Fallout 4 was better than 3 and NV imo. But Fallout 3 still had the Fallout freedom and charm, which I feel was lost in the others. The gameplay just sucked ass, and even the NPCs from 1998 provided better immersion.
I think 90% of Fallout fans never played the first two.
Instead of hiring 30+ studios to do their work, they should’ve hired one good studio and ditched their ancient poop engine 15 years ago.
