Big Bethesda Nintendo Switch eShop sale now live with lowest prices ever for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom (2016), and more.
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been updated to support true Physically Based Rendering thanks to the release of Community Shaders 1.0.
Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith looks back at the game's often unplayable PlayStation 3 port and its difficult development.
I remember having to save every time I found something or every minute, whichever came first.
I Platinumed the game on the PS3 within the first few months of release. That was a Herculean Effort in and of itself. I do remember straightup freezes, crashes in addition to just glitches, but I kept at it bc I had a holy mission-like determination to Plat it.
Remember fallout 3?
For me it was always back/forth skyrim or fallout 3 for the most crashes/freezes and dat fallout 3 dlc framerate
Same. Not only do I remember all you just mentioned, but the long loading screens also made an impression. The further I made it in the game, the less I wanted to move shift any objects out of there place for fear it would add to the loading time. I don’t think I could sit and stare at a single movable object in 2024 for as long as I did, and as many times as I did in 2012.
I actually played the hell out of Fallout 3 on PS3. I must've been lucky because I didn't have too many issues. Platinumed it even.
Bought Skyrim for my gf at the time, and yeah that was a disaster.
I seem to remember there being a bug in New Vegas on PS3 where you could basically break the game by wearing a particular piece of gear in a certain location but I don't remember the exact details.
I actually didn't have too much trouble with Fallout 3 on PS3. I mean it was janky but no more so than a lot of games with more ambitious worlds were on console during that generation.
To this day I'm sure FO3 GOTY killed my fat 80gb PS3. After playing it and NV on a modern console I don't know how younger me put up with that shit.
Found it for like $10 on PS3 and put 180 hours (probably 1/2 of that time loading). I had to stop due to it becoming a slideshow.
Honestly didn't have that many issues with it on PS3 and i played 150+ hours. I know thats not the norm though.
At this point, if you still don't have these games, just wtf are you even doing?
