Look Ubisoft: this is what your devs could be making if you’d let them make what they want to be making. Instead of churning out another cookie cutter “Ubisoft game”.

kilgore_trout,

This rate of sales would be considered a flop, at Ubisoft.

dustyData,

They would’ve already laid off 90% of the entire Dev team and closed the studio.

I’m 11hrs in so far, and I’m hooked. The world building, gameplay and characters are amazing. I also really loved the music, especially inside the manor.

Pondis,

The soundtrack is incredible! It’s such a wonderful game.

Review scores for this are shockingly high for a new RPG entry from a small team. Seems very Persona/FF-like, which isn’t exactly my kind of game (I tend to find most JRPGs a little stale in the game design department), but I think I will give this one a try. I’d rather support a new effort in any case than play yet another Bethesda remaster. I know they’re different games, but I hope CO will get the attention it seemingly deserves.

It’s more of a progression from FFX than something like Persona or the newer FF games. It’s still turn based, but its more active. It feels like what Square should have done with the franchise, instead of going the direction they did.

MellowYellow13,

Yeah FF has turned to absolute trash. Used to be my favorite franchise

danciestlobster,

I would like to say plot wise it has very little to do with jrpgs. Those often feel a little cookie cutter to me while this story is very fresh

I hope it does well, but I’m just not interested in strictly linear games anymore.

Nice that it’s on GP, can’t wait to start. Looks great

Don’t have the energy to play myself. But started watching a Let’s Play today and I really love the premise.

The more I read about Nintendo, the more genuine dislike I get for them. The only thing I read, hear and see are negative bullshit for some petty reason they’ve.

I hate how such a shit company holds so many good nostalgic games. Truly hoping for a quick hack on the Switch 2 and a PC emulation (and I hope truly, hope that Palworld wins the whole fiasco).

And then they find out the user was behind a commercial VPN and they’re fucked :)

DoucheBagMcSwag,

And then VPN users will be fucked when they throw their money at governments to make it illegal to not keep logs or block all port forwarding

MajesticElevator,

If this happens, we’re more than fucked and have big problems 👀

In some countries, it’s already mandatory to keep logs, but it doesn’t apply to foreign services, so if you’re a client of a company in another country that doesn’t have to keep logs, you’re not at any risk.

People are trusting Discord way way way too much

Ghoelian,

Yeah if they get a warrant they’re 100% just handing over all the data

smeg,

Maybe this will finally make people realise that using an unencrypted corpo-controlled messenger for all of their communications is a bad idea

nfreak,
@nfreak@lemmy.ml avatar

Nah they’ll just jump ship to the next one

CosmoNova,

And there is really no reason to trust it whatsoever. It might feel secluded but in the end of the day, even your „private“ chats are essentially an open forum thread in the technical and legal sense because Discord is basically that: A huge, public forum where everything you say is a public statement. There is no privacy on Discord because that‘s simply not what it‘s for.

Katana314,

I tend to use these platforms without feeling I’m “committed”. I’ve abandoned things like Reddit before, and can likely do so again.

But I can see with the organization levels of channels that others are not thinking the same way.

SW42, do games w Nintendo lawyers want to force Discord to reveal Pokémon Teraleak source

I find the switch to hosting communities on proprietary closed platforms kind of bad in terms of access to the vast knowledge and archiving it for future generations. When discord will go full enshittified, it will just charge a subscription fee to access the “servers”. Also they will sure as hell comply with anything if it threatens the bottom line.

pycorax,

It’s god awful for any development discussion too. Used to be you could at least find someone taking about something on Stack Overflow even if it wasn’t solved, now it’s buried in Discord and you have no way of even searching it out to see if anyone has even had that problem before.

AFC1886VCC, do games w Nintendo lawyers want to force Discord to reveal Pokémon Teraleak source

Scumtendo at it again. It’s morally wrong to give them money.

At least it is not skyrim again?

Now we get 11 years of Oblivion re-releases!

I guess TESVI is already doomed, probably won’t release until after the ice-caps melt.

cannedtuna,

Sounds like we won’t have to wait too much longer then! /s

madame_gaymes,
@madame_gaymes@programming.dev avatar

Shit, you’re right. That was an awful time reference for the joke… it might actually release before the Oblivion remake.

SolidShake,

The first oblivion gate actually just takes you to the Skyrim intro and you can’t leave.

TommySoda,

“Hey you, you’re finally awake.”

sundray,

“Caught trying to cross the boarder from the plane of Oblivion, huh?”

Derpenheim,

Honestly, if it did that, im not sure I’d even be mad. That would be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen a gaming company do

They’re right on the money. We’re getting double the oblivion!

Two cakes.

gamermanh, do games w Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate"

I see they’re remaking the worst one first, good

Yeah, that’s right, my hot take is that Oblivion fucking sucks ass and needs a remake, unlike TES 2, 3, and 5

HipsterTenZero,
@HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone avatar

if I didn’t have to mod the fuck out of oblivion to make it playable without a spreadsheet, i’d be very mad at you.

Allero,

I would certainly love to see Morrowind remake.

Oblivion is at least playable for newer gamers. It’s not a good experience, but it is manageable.

Morrowind, for all its immense benefits, makes everyone who entered the game scene after 2010 scream in terror. I personally never left Balmora, because it’s just a terrible experience by modern standards (graphics, character animation, controls, battle mechanics…), which is a great shame because the game seems to be great otherwise.

TES I and II, while deserving recognition, are very Doom-like in terms of gameplay, and I don’t believe an adequate remake could be made, because they are so different they can’t adequately be turned into a modern experience.

So, I guess for me all hopes are for Skywind, so I could finally walk the streets of Vivec without the need to fork my eyes.

erytau,
@erytau@programming.dev avatar

I’d love to see anything Morrowind‑related from Bethesda. Anything at all. The province of Morrowind, with its weird culture, architecture, and landscapes, is always quite an experience. To me, it’s the most interesting setting in the whole TES series

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

well the dragonborn dlc went back to a morrowind dlc area, solstheim

Allero,

Yep, but that’s just a small piece of it. But it was nice.

gamermanh,

Oblivion is far less playable for new players, y’all just have nostalgia blinders / mods in mind

The levelling system breaks Oblivion, violently. Nothing that awful is in Morrowind, even the “I can’t hit anything with a dagger because I’m too stupid to read” doesn’t come close

Allero,

Nah, I started with Skyrim, and I played Oblivion without mods. It’s not great, problematic in many places, but it is playable if you want to discover the story.

Initiateofthevoid,

I can’t hit anything with a dagger because I’m too stupid to read” doesn’t come close

This happens 3 seconds into the game, and very few modern gamers will ever RTFM. It’s far more likely to be a hard wall to a newcomer. I wouldn’t blame them, either. Invisible stamina-based dice rolls was certainly a choice.

Oblivion’s system took time to break down - long enough to actually get players invested, at least.
