I thought that it was basically just a texture mod at first, too, but apparently this is an unreal engine 5 game, so it actually is a lot more than a texture mod. Even if they call it remastered, it is essentially a full remake. I wonder what this means for the future of the Gamebryo engine.

But the deluxe edition gives you bonus horse armor!

Remember when people actually got upset about this sort of thing? When horse armor for the original oblivion was used as an example of game companies just being extremely greedy and blatantly anti-consumer? Haha, remember when gamers actually took issue with DLC and "upgrades" that did nothing but provide an empty cosmetic change to the game?

Ive used this as an opportunity to be real fun at parties and point out to libs “Bethesda is on BDS, so this is kinda like Hogwarts Legacy and you’ll have to decide if a video game is worth it.”

Btw its already been cracked for pirating. I'm gonna renew my VPN later cause I've been wanting an Oblivion fix for a while.

EIGHTY FIVE DOLLARYDOOS?

holy fucking shit lmaooooooooo

no chance. straight piracy or utilising some sort of forex scheme to get cheap game pass

Bethesda fans are a different breed to the ones getting mad about Nintendo

GIB MONEYS NOW

They're outraged they changed Gender to Body Type

Oblivion is a bad game to start with

I have no idea who can afford this shit atm.

Also please fuck off with forever culture. Things can be in the past. It's ok to move on.

This isn't true. It has some significant changes, but still feels like the original. They nailed it.

There is new voice acting, and voices are effected by your position to the speaker. They improved the leveling system. They added sprint. The combat feels similar, but is a lot less janky. Of course the improved VFX and SFX. There is probably other things. But it's definately more than a remaster. It feels like a remake.

I guess there's no more marrow in the bones of skyrim?

Where's the remaster of their last actually good game? Daggerfall?

a ton of people i know are super excited for this

i don't get it

Bethsoft belongs in

Imagine playing this when Caves of Qud is right there

It's that time again!

Nyahahaha, for some reason i can use my VPN again despite not renewing it in over a year

what happened to ethics in gaming?

People were mad at nintendo because theyre racist af, more than anything

I read that $15 DLC thing as like the upgrade from the original game and thought "at least they discounted it for people who already bought it" but realized that's just the premium shit. Original game with all the DLC is $25CAD and I assume that goes on sale down to half that pretty frequently. Plus piracy is still an option.

Thanks for the price hike normalization, Nintendo.
