Scoops posted:I think as long as people are willing to pay full price for yesterday's game they'll keep making it unfortunately. People trying to play it down makes no sense to me - clearly the only way Bethesda is going to bother seriously upgrading things is if they take enough flak for it. If they suffer sizable enough loss of profits they're more likely to just fridge the franchise instead. See: Other M

Mokinokaro posted:I think you underestimate the amount of work and money switching to a new engine is. It basically means retraining the entire staff from the ground up. If by underestimate, you mean not even taking into account, then yes. Somethings got to give. Either they need hire additional people to unfuck their games, or move to a different engine so it's easier to mask their ineptness when it comes to certain features. At this point, every game they release already looks a year or two old. I mean, I haven't seen the jump animation yet, but I'm guessing it isn't a whole lot better than Skyrim. Animations are something they should have addressed a decade ago.

Everything in that trailer looks way better than anything we've seen in the streams or pictures. Day 1 patch that adds the real graphics CONFIRMED! Also pretty bold of them to open the trailer with the loving ending narration of the game. Det_no fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Nov 5, 2015 |

See: Other M Bethesda can't afford to just fridge their open world game because it's Zenimax's biggest game and Bethesda's only game. Metroid sells little compared to other big Nintendo stuff in general so it doing especially poorly makes sense for them to scrap it. Nintendo's equivalent of Bethesda scrapping TES or Fallout would be just not making any more Mario games.

After 7 years I was expecting more improvement in the base game AI/graphics considering Bethesda's budget and success. Color me disappointed.

He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn that there were no shadows. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Todd Howard.

John Fallout: This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life...If you want to find paths, you should also not spurn madness, since it makes up such a great part of your nature...Be glad that you can recognize it, for you will thus avoid becoming its victim. Madness is a special form of the spirit and clings to all teachings and philosophies, but even more to daily life, since life itself is full of craziness and at bottom utterly illogical. Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensible on life.

It's funny because I'm seeing a lot more posts from people blasting the naysayers getting angry that there are no shadows than actual posts about there being no shadows. What's worse is the shadow thing is a joke at this point, but the true believers are still tackling the criticism like its a real issue.

HATE NEWSPAPERS. Let me tell you how much I've come to HATE NEWSPAPERS since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'HATE' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the HATE I feel for NEWSPAPERS at this micro-instant. For NEWSPAPERS. HATE. HATE.

We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm - yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.
