"Skyrim Special Edition also brings the full power of PC mods to consoles. New quests, environments, characters, dialogue, armor, weapons and more – with Mods, there are no limits to what you can experience."

I have no words for this.

 

[Adnor]

LOL at that Berserk tease.

Why on earth would you "tease" a game by featuring the camera longingly going over the body of someone that got raped a bunch.

It's an iconic scene because of how awful it is, but it's mind boggling to choose that for a frigging musou teaser.

Haven't seen it because I don't care about Musuos, but did they really use

Spoiler

the Caska rape scene for the teaser

?? What?

I feel like that's the more amusing part to highlight on the Steam description. Yay for cut and paste.

 

[Corpekata]

It's basically tentacles caressing her naked body and then zooming in on the mark thingy I forget the name of, which is why someone on the previous page asked if it was a hentai.

What?? Who thought that was a good idea!?

 

[Uzzy]

So Chris Avellone's working on this, apparently.

RPG writer working on a shooter script. Angels weep.

Anyone buying Skyrim DLCs for that upgrade?

I completed the set after it was announced. Finally got the free HD texture pack.


My decision, many years ago now, to buy Dragonborn at 50% off has finally been vindicated.

The new Prey is going to basically be Deus Ex/Dishonored crossed with System Shock.

I don't get why people are shitting on it, it's probably going to be awesome if it fulfills that promise. It has nothing to do with the original Prey and that's the best thing in the world. Who gives a shit what it's called? "Prey" is a cool name on its own.

 

[BoosterDuck]

well that was an easy wishlist

 

[zkylon]

the berserk teaser makes no fucking sense

So Chris Avellone's working on this, apparently.

ok now they got my attention

 

[Lomax]

So Chris Avellone's working on this, apparently.

So wait, are they pushing this as scifi Skyrim? Scifi Dishonored? I still don't understand how this IP is worth more than just creating something new.

they need to use the name for something or they lose the property?

something like that

 

[Hektor]

Wait what Chris is working on prey 2???

Okay, you got me bethesda day 1

 

[def sim]

Yeah, it looks like Prey is pretty much a new IP. They just wanted to keep the cool name.

 

[texhnolyze]

Wait, is Prey a RPG?

 

[BoosterDuck]

no it's another hero shooter

 

[Uzzy]

I just hope he's the lead writer, and not just writing a few characters that'll get cut for being too complicated for modern gaming audiences.

 

[uncredited male]

What a stupid fucking trailer. I have no faith in the game now.

I hope that shit blows up in their faces. Just fucking stupid.

It just seems like a waste of talent to put someone like Avellone onto yet another shooter. I really don't believe Prey is aiming any higher than that, at least based on that brief trailer.

Things could change, I suppose. But until then I will be all grumpy.

no it's another hero shooter

That's Quake Champions. Prey is just a teaser trailer at this point... I think they described it as a "psychological shooter" or something like that.

 

[zkylon]

the stuff they're talking about prey makes it sound like it's legit system shock stuff

with the addition of mca and this new game arkane steps up to be one of the most interesting studios around

 

[DasFool]

Bethesda's showing was paltry at best.

- League of Quakerwatch (hope I'm wrong about this and it's just modern Quake 3)
- 100% copy and pasted Hearthstone
- DLC for Elder Scrolls Online. Pass.
- DLC for Fallout 4. Pass.
- Prey 2 that looks nothing like what Prey 2 was hyped up to be over the past 5 years. Needs more information.
- VR that sounds like it doesn't actually let you play the game? (not too sure on this one)
- Dishonored 2 appears great. The terrible animations are carried over from the first game, but that's just a small nitpick. Optimistically looking forward to it.
- No Wolfenstein nor Tango Gameworks news. Such a shame.
- Skyrim Remastered. Good lord, is this the most redundant PC release ever? Not only is it touting mods as a feature (something the game has had since its inception), but they have the audacity to charge $60 for it, too? I've always hated how Bethesda simply refuse to fix fundamental flaws with their games and now, they are ADVERTISING the fact that their fanbase will repair their broken systems. Get your head out of your ass, Bethesda.

"Skyrim Special Edition also brings the full power of PC mods to consoles. New quests, environments, characters, dialogue, armor, weapons and more – with Mods, there are no limits to what you can experience."

"Skyrim Special Edition also brings the full power of gullibility in gamers to the forefront. New smoke, mirrors, ruses, deception, lies, and more - with a modding community larger than Todd Howard's bank account, there are no limits to what you can dump onto Steam."

 

[septicore]

$60/60€ as expected.

Damn that Bethesda tax for Australia.

 

[Lomax]

What a stupid fucking trailer. I have no faith in the game now.

I hope that shit blows up in their faces. Just fucking stupid.

I'd say you should be more specific, but it's actually more amusing not having any idea what you're talking about.

 

[uncredited male]

Skyrim Special Edition.

 

[Servizio]

I'd say you should be more specific, but it's actually more amusing not having any idea what you're talking about.

I'm gonna guess the Berserk tease.

If you're at work or home, call someone over to watch it with you. If you're in public, call over a stranger and make a friend.

 

[zkylon]

berserk trailer is somehow even worse than the mighty number 9 trailer

it's astonishingly out of touch with absolutely everything

 

[Leafhopper]

I didn't come in here during the day. E3 seemed to be crazy in here.

 

[Adnor]

berserk trailer is somehow even worse than the mighty number 9 trailer

I don't even want to watch the teaser now because that scene is so strong in the manga that it made me genuinely uncomfortable. Which is the point, it's supposed to make you uncomfortable and

Spoiler

feel bad for Caska

, not think "oh hell yeah Berserk is so edgy!" so I don't know why they choose it.

 

[Vibranium]

Chris Avellone working on Prey, bitches.

Next thing you know Todd Howard will call him up to help Bethesda Game Studios with their dialogue systems. (He should do this).

 

[zkylon]

bloop

the worst part is that it's made sort of "erotic", which is kind of like so fucking wrong. it's probably the worst trailer i've ever seen? like literally gratuitous shots of out of focus suggested tentacle rape into a logo. i really can't imagine any trailer ever being any worse than this

also idk if i'd spoil berserk here, i know it's an old ass thing but berserk is so cool and thankfully i managed to not not get it spoiled before i read it this year so idk, maybe spare people even if it's super old?

[AHA-Lambda]

watching the archive of the Beth conference just now, and holy fuck the audience is annoying as hell >_<

 

[Pixieking]

Do we have any idea how Bethesda.net works, yet?

Skyrim Elder Scrolls Online lady is the bomb. She singlehandedly saved everything.

You're right, fixed.

True. The pain of never getting another Obsidian-level Fallout hurts though.

 

[texhnolyze]

It's like Origin and uPlay, right?
A place where you can buy Bethesda games and download their new Steam-like client to play the games.

heh, looking at the Beth E3 thread now seems like everyone was thinking the same as me then

 

[Pixieking]

Yeah? I suppose, what I mean is, things like mod integration, and whether their games will still be Steamworks (buy on GMG, register on Steam), or if they're going full-uPlay, and only place to get Steam version is on Steam.

Thankfully, they're not going full-EA (yet!).

 

[zkylon]

You're right, fixed.

thanks

i know it's a bit unrealistic but u know, it's something worth keeping under spoilertags because of how good it is

True. The pain of never getting another Obsidian-level Fallout hurts though.

yeah i definitely feel you, but i don't think beth games are a good use of mca's talents

he needs to work on a story ass story rpg that isn't all campy and like pointless

GMG lists "Other DRM" for Dishonored 2 so unfortunately it looks like they are following Ubisoft and Rockstar's lead.

Blaaaargh..

Ah well - long as their games stay on Steam, I don't care too much.

 

[Atraveller]

Battlefield 1 even got me hyped, it looks impressive!

 

[Milamber]

Hope Prey 2 is good.

 

[Hektor]

Let's get real here for a second, he should work on everything

 

[LurkerPrime]

I wonder what this means for Skyrim: Remaster. It could be a trojan horse, of sorts. A devil's bargain, if you will.

 

[ArjanN]

no

Honestly all it probably means he took two weeks half a year ago to write the script.

 

[Nordicus]

Titan Quest beta patch 1.23 has rebalanced Dream (damage nerfs galore), Nature and Spirit masteries

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Still going through that Bethesda archived stream, and holy shit Battleborn lives?

EDIT: just realised I forgot the name of it, not the Gearbox game, the Bethesda MOBA-esque game that was shown off a couple years ago. Clearly it left such an impact that I can't even remember the name.

EDIT 2: Battlecry! that was it!

 

[Nordicus]

yeah i definitely feel you, but i don't think beth games are a good use of mca's talents

The man loves dark humor and tragedy.

In Neverwinter Night 2 Mask of the Betrayer, 2 of your potential love interests can straight up get murdered, or lose a major battle and be forever disgraced in their endings. The fucking stones

 

[Anteater]

wow, lots of announcements while I was asleep

and yay Doom demo
