This was a really awesome read. I appreciate the work you do. This brings me back to some of the older days when k actually enjoyed checking out game journalism. Do let me know if there’s something I could do to support your work :)
If you’re interested, I’m also in a fun Revolt server, where you can find me lurking most days too (if you wanna join Linux, FOSS, gaming chats and the like!!!)
Look, if it plays as good or better than the original without the Skyrim enshitification then I don’t carer how it looks. If it plays like Skyrim though, I’ll hate it even more.
Oblivion is hugely over saturated. The game feels perfect for that in some areas and like a kids story book in others.
The people commenting the generic “now it’s brown and dull” are just lame. Its just hating to hate really.
Personally, Oblivion is 10x than skyrim even if the game looked like fucking Morrowind I would play it. It is like people on Lemmy have to purposefully hate on something popular so they feel different than the “Normies.”
The game could use a graphical overhaul and the bloom and over saturation hurt my damn eyes in a recent play through. So please tone it down and make it feel more realistic.
Also, lol, the image for comparison is just subjective bullshit bias. It purposefully makes a comparison to make the remaster feel boring. People were all over this style when Skyrim released.
Much like my opinion people don’t have to agree and if you like the way Oblivion looks now versus the graphical overhaul in the leaked screenshot well then the good news is you can still play the original Oblivion. I know, complete shocker.
The point I am trying to make is that Lemmy sometimes feels like the “I am not like other girls” version of Reddit. You guys hate shit just as much as Reddit but in a weirder “I am different so my opinion is better.” Reminds me of a post I saw on here where some guy raved for 4 paragraphs about why he didn’t think the new Deadpool was funny but that his opinion wasn’t like others that didn’t like the new Deadpool because his was more refined and over all carried sophistication I’m his criticism. When in the end all he was saying was, “it wasn’t my kind of humor.” That is Lemmy.
Just say you don’t like something and move the fuck on. Personally, Oblivion is peak Elderscrolls for me. This remaster looks fucking fantastic and I am going go play the fuck out of it. Have a nice day.
The people commenting the generic “now it’s brown and dull” are just lame. Its just hating to hate really.
Or they simply have fond memories of the graphical style of Oblivion, and are disappointed that it’s now more “realistic”? I don’t want realistic, I want Oblivion. It’s a fucking fantasy game.
People were all over this style when Skyrim released.
Sure, but we’re not in 2011, so why change the graphical style to fit opinions of that time?
Much like my opinion people don’t have to agree and if you like the way Oblivion looks now versus the graphical overhaul in the leaked screenshot well then the good news is you can still play the original Oblivion. I know, complete shocker.
I would love to play a remastered version that keeps the distinct graphical style I fondly remember. I know, a complete shocker.
Just say you don’t like something and move the fuck on.
I did, and you really didn’t like me saying that! I like Oblivion, I really like the graphical style. I don’t like that they are removing the graphical style and making it look like any generic action RPG. If you don’t like my comment, maybe move the fuck on?
I will say, all that aside, there’s one thing I hated about oblivion. The FUCKING OBLIVION GATES, ugh so tedious, when I first learned there was mods I think the first one I downloaded was one that let you skip them for my next playthrough, but I would love to see if they somehow make them less grindy in this one
Honestly all this game needs for a 10 out of 10 from me is to be able to take the annoying fan to Dive Rock, cast paralysis on him and give him a little nudge.
Anyone know if there’s a way to get junk store for bazzite desktop?
It would be great for my partner who has bazzite but doesn’t touch the gaming mode because she has an nvidia card at the moment and it runs like dog shit.
This is her first Linux experience so it would be nice to have something really simple for her to use.
Hey PerfectDark alerted us to your query. We use it on vanilla Arch in Big Picture Mode on our laptops. But we know people use it with Bazzite and some other distros. We also test on Bazzite in a VM.
If you want to set your partner up with it, you’ll have to download/install Decky and then Junk Store. Then to open up the QAM to get to Junk Store you would need to push ctrl+2.
If you have any other questions, queries or need help/guidance please feel free to find us in out discord server (that’s one of two places we regulary patrol). Discrod Invite Link: https://discord.gg/HS9QtX5kXW
Big picture has the same performance issues as gaming mode on nvidia though doesn’t it?
I remember my partner trying it when we first built her pc and it was awful. Although at the time she was on a 1050 Ti temporarily, which also had other issues on the OS. She’s now on a 3050 so maybe it’s better now?
I recently tried both the last beserker as well as lies of P, and I just couldn’t really get into either of them. I think maybe full blown souls games are just done for me. Death’s door was great though, I really liked that one! I never got into Tunic, but definitely have been eyeballing it for quite a while now…
I reaaaally tried Lies of P. I have one book I really, really adore called Drood - which is about Dickens and the setting to that beautiful and terrifying book feels pretty close to Lies of P.
But…just like Elden Ring, while I love the setting and atmosphere, the combat is just not for me! I even keep a little notebook with games I’ve played, games I want to play, etc. In that I have written very prominently to not bother trying Elden Ring again (even with mods to make it ‘easy’).
Its funny though how the vast majority of gamers are the opposite, and just can’t get enough!
Sekiro is what did it for me in terms of Souls-like games. That’s the one that “clicked” with me, and I still consider it perhaps my favorite game of all time.
Well there’s lot of shovelware girly games out there. Your best bet would be cozy games cozygamereviews.com/cozy-games-on-steam/ maybe try a dating sim or two? The KFC Dating sim …steampowered.com/…/I_Love_You_Colonel_Sanders_A_… is free and one my absolute favorites. Granted, it’s stupid, it’s cheesy, it’s anime, it’s taking itself a little bit too serious, but I like it. One of my friends recently loved house flipper 2 store.steampowered.com/app/…/House_Flipper_2/ a game where you clean houses, sell them, later even get to design your own houses. Also one of my new favorite cozy feel good games is little kitty big city store.steampowered.com/…/Little_Kitty_Big_City/ I just love the writing and the atmosphere of this game! Oh, and the Style-Boutique game series on the Nintendo 3 DS! If you know a tech savvy person who can Mod a 2DS or 3DS you can get the console for cheap and put the game on there from the internet. My wife and one of my coworkers loved these games!
[I totally want to start a thread about how Red Dead Redemption (GTA but it’s the wild wild west-era with cowboys) has the best horse riding experience in any game until now and how a horse riding game with the mechanics would be amazing, but I’ll just plant this seed here and hope for some game-dev to see it.]
If you’re open to the idea of ditching a Microsoft product, I’d suggest Vintage Story as a Minecraft alternative that I think has a nicer aesthetic. It’s meant to be a sort of slow, “grindy” game, but if you sort of rewire your thinking to it being a slice of life game, akin to Stardew, I think it’s very fun. Fair warning the early game can be very punishing if you’re brand new to it, so explore the world and difficulty setting when you make your first save.
Somewhat cozy game with a femme lead I’m excited for is Cairn. It’s got a demo at the moment, but I’m very much looking forward to the full game. It’s technically a survival game about rock climbing, but if I had to guess the story will center the main character going through a lot of personal growth while attempting to scale a mountain (a la Celeste, also a great game) and overcoming a lot of adversity to regain some self confidence.
Flock is an underplayed cozy game with no combat. You are a bird and you find other birds, sometimes not birds, to join your flock and fly around. It’s completely chill and enjoys a really soft color palette (pink for sure but also purples, pale orange skies, blues, etc.)
Oh man I thought this was VORON for a bit (I had forgotten the game was called VORON). It is not, but if you are interested in Flock you might like VORON
