As long as it still feels like TES and as long as it’s not even as hard as Elden Ring (which, as I hear, is supposedly the “easiest” FromSoft game but is still too challenging), I’m open to trying it. In general, I wish they’d just give us Skyrim’s combat with some tweaks; it’s the best combat in the series, in my opinion.

I’m not saying we need the dice roll system. I just don’t want a complicated time-based system that doesn’t feel grounded.

I just don’t get the hype of immutable. Sure, it’s not easy to break and can be better for security, but it really does defeat the purpose of Linux freedom. It’s only really good for absolute and total beginners (meaning those who aren’t tech savvy), and for home console style PCs.

The problem is the style, not just the difficulty. I don’t like the whole timed parry system. It’s alright if it’s akin to Witcher 3 where the blocks are timed but not impossibly so, and where you’re given other means of fighting than parry-strike-repeat… Even then though, as much as I love that game, I like TES combat. Its simplicity makes it grounded and its feel is still somewhat rooted in the dungeon crawlers that made TES what it is.

I’ll never understand the hate, it feels to me like the hate comes from outsiders who weren’t long-term fans and what the series to be what it’s not.

Yeah? Good. Bluesky’s community is atrocious. Nostr and the Fediverse are better and far more resistant to censorship anyway.

TES combat may be plain but I’d take a grounded and easy to grasp combat system over hair-tearing frustration. There’s a reason I don’t buy soulslikes. I like to enjoy and unwind with video games, not torture myself until I ‘git gud’. Soulslike combat will utterly ruin this remake for me.

Hardly comparable. The bag wasn’t the centerpiece, it was barely even advertised in the first place… and people whined because an ancillary feature of a much larger package wasn’t the material they wanted. That seems awfully pathetic and vain to me.

That whole canvas bag thing was a load of crap. “Ouh, my bag wasn’t in the material I wanted it to be in. I’m gonna throw a tantrum and sue the company.”

I’m very excited for this project, but what concerns me are the lack of color in those screenshots and the rumor that it’s gonna have soulslike combat. I do not want soulslike combat. We don’t need soulslike combat in every freaking game.

I already don’t use Discord too much, and if they push this, I’m done with it completely.

Haha I know what you mean. I’ve had some good sessions but generally speaking, I suck at it.

I cannot be paid enough to use or support TikTok or anything like it. A major source of all the issues society is facing today.

Try Counter-Strike: Source. A bit older but it’s still quite active, runs flawlessly on Linux and is just a load of fun.

You really do, you just don’t want to admit it. It’s okay, you don’t have to be angry at God. Just let go.

Delusion isn’t a good look!

That’s fair but what I mean is that Sega wasn’t afraid to try new things and attempt to push the boundaries. Nowadays, everyone plays it too safe.

What reversal? It’s still in play. The idea is to use them to force other nations to play fair with us.

This. Aside from the Genesis and its mega success, Sega’s hardware was woefully underused. It’s a shame, too, because they were at the forefront of experimentation back in the day.

The DS 3D was pretty weak, though. Don’t get me wrong, great games like The Force Unleashed and Assassin’s Creed: Altaïr’s Chronicles are amazing games but the 3D in both was almost worse than PS1/Saturn 3D. Loved my NDS but I get why games tended to go for 2D.

As for my opinion on the subject matter, the aforementioned Sega Saturn is my pick. The potential that console had could have delivered truly incredible games and memories but Sega made one too many stupid business decisions.

In keeping with another post where I ended my arguments here, I won’t debate the point any further but guys: this post is how you conduct a discussion like a mature adult. Learn from it.
