Arthmoor

Just to remind everyone, this is what Arthfag looks like in real life:

That's an old pic so he's probably fatter now. I can't wait to post Crab Wave when the 'beetus finally takes him.

This is ultra high dosage copium but I hope Starfield serves a good purpose as a wake up call for Todd and the crew. They can't serve us a steaming turd on a platter without at least dressing it up first.

Emil getting ass blasted by anyone and everyone has got to have had him sweating bullets for a while even if he's Todd's butt buddy.

As long as there are enough whales pumping cash into ESO and FO76 Microsoft doesn't give a fuck. Once those games start really dying off Bethesda is fucked. This is why they've been pushing paid modding so hard and it's failure is scaring Todd and his butt buddies. When Todd retires in a few years expect Bethesda to be shut down. There will not be a TES: VII, Fallout 5 is probably not going to happen, and Starfield II will never happen.

Jesus Christ, how old IS Arthmoor?

I figured he was probably in his mid to late 40's unless he started modding like super young, but this looks like a pic from like mid 2000's internet so WTF

His DOB is April 6, 1971 so he turned 54 recently.

This is why I have some small hope. TES6 is likely to be Todd's last game, if it isn't Fallout 5 immediately afterward. The man has had an amazing streak of Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim, and Fallout 4 all being massive mainstream hits.

Problem is, your legacy largely rests on your last product. Look at people like Molyneux and Chris Roberts. If you fail to deliver, you're going to get shit for the rest of time. Todd would know this, and would want to prevent it. You can't tell me the man doesn't have an ego when he is the face of Bethesda. How many other game developers can you nsme? How many have become a meme?

At this point I think if TES6 is a hit Todd will retire, if it's a flop he might try a redemption arc with Fallout 5. Not looking forward to the day he hands the keys to the kingdom to Emil that's for sure.

That's not his decision to make anymore. The XBox division is hemorrhaging money and Microsoft is laying off devs and shutting down studios. If TES: VI does worse than Fallout 4 or Skyrim they will shut down Bethesda and move ESO and FO76 to another studio to handle. Reblivion was a warning to Todd: Bethesda isn't special, any studio can make the same games you can.

I want to disagree with that but honestly I can't. Bethesda is a big name but there's no doubt they don't bring in the same level of money the big hitters do no matter how many times Todd rereleases Skyrim.

 

[Spooky Dogwood]

I think it's more likely for TES6 to never get released at all after another decade of development hell than it is to be a good game.

It won't. And even if it does, the sad thing is these things have a form of inertia to them. The games coming out today are based on decisions made up to 5-10 years ago. That means that things generally turning away from Wokeshit won't be really felt until oh, 2032 or so.

And that's not even counting the long term fallout allowing a bunch of denmothers of the longhouse to force straight white men out so they can turn GameDev into basically a daycare for females and browns to get participation trophies by pretending to be developers. The amount of institutional tribal knowledge lost is immense, the amount of opportunity cost lost by wasting all this time and resources and driving people out is immeasurable.

We haven't seen the last Concord, not by a long shot, although I imagine every single publisher and devteam out there are quietly freaking out cause they know they have some giant thermonuclear piles of shit on their hands.

Todd's too soft and vain. If he cared more about the product at the end of the day than being the likable boss, he'd have told BGS to quit their bitching and develop a successor to Gamebryo, fired all the trannies for implying they'd murder their supervisors for expecting them do their job of getting screenshots for promo material, and put Emil in a coffin.

and Starfield II will never happen.

By the time Starfield II hits production in 2050 they will have been forced to switch completely to Unreal Engine 7 in all it's upscaled vaseline filtered glory (now with 59/60 frames AI generated for enhanced performance). And be as moddable as The Outer Worlds.

Reblivion was a warning to Todd: Bethesda isn't special, any studio can make the same games you can.

If that was truly a warning then Microsoft might actually be more retarded than Bethesda since their take on Oblivions success will almost certainly be durr Unreal Engine good.

The best glimmering hope about Reblivion is that it might technically be possible to do something with it you simply can't with any other Unreal Engine game.

 

[StacticShock]

Technically, that was something from the original Elder Scrolls titles, with Morrowind peaking at clothing then location armor and a robe over that.

Nah, Daggerfall in that case.

3D modeling wise you niggers.
not mechanically wise.
find me a fallout 4 gun mod that doesn't have a slutty tacticool nora on the images that isn't the mod author showing off the gun model.

not really no, see how journos tried praising reblivion but lamented that complex modding was just not possible and you can't have certain mods that work really well on the OGvion but don't work on reblivion because no extended scripting.
course, jeetsoft only see the greens so yeah, Rellout 3 will be funny to watch because it's shit, if they package FNV on it then we'll see as fnv has more complex mods compared to FO3 because again, fallout 3 is shit.

Basically everything Degenerate Dak has posted. It's good stuff.

denmothers of the longhouse

I don't mean to take away from your post but I'm stealing this.

We haven't seen the last Concord, not by a long shot, although I imagine every single publisher and devteam out there are quietly freaking out cause they know they have some giant thermonuclear piles of shit on their hands.

If the failure of Hyenas and Concord doesn't wake them up, which it clearly hasn't, nothing will. It's sad how much money is going up in flames over these awful products only for the vast majority of them to fail, just to keep doing it anyway. It's meant to demoralize and push people who don't like this shit out of the industry, customers and devs alike, so the only thing left will be a desolate wasteland filled with prowling hambeasts.

Dak is seriously the only person who just makes cool, Fallout aesthetic friendly weapons and shows only them off. If all these "tacticool" guns with coomer thumbnails and images only used to get people's attention were to disappear it would probably be most of the mods for Fallout 4 that came out in the half+ decade.

When the demake came out, I posted a video of a mod for the original game that showed actual nuanced combat(dodge rolls, combos ect.) to show why the demaster is inferior. Despite the video clearly showing the game in action, some retard claimed it would be impossible make these mods run with the game because it would run out of memory, therefore the demake is better cause it runs out of the box and has better graphics. This is an actual conversation that happened in this thread. Something tells me that this is the only target audience for these demasters Microsoft has in mind, that and clueless normalfags and hopelessly addicted fanboys with thousands of hours in the original game who will buy anything. Mods, what mods? We don't need those anymore.

Considering the other retard I was talking to that day didn't know how the creation engine worked, it's not like re-introducing mod support would do anything. Either the fans give up on trying to fix the game, ala Starfield, or the new crop of fans are quite literally too stupid to operate the creation engine and nothing gets done anyways.

Fallout 3 story is shit, but holy shit the world building is amazing

You really feel like you are walking across a post nuclear, rundown, dangerous DC.

Yes it has problems up the ass (probably the glitchiest game Bethesda release, for fuck sake you can't play on windows 11 unless you download a patch) but the artistic direction is superb.

 

[30+GameOvers]

Fallout 3 story is shit, but holy shit the world building is amazing

Worldbuilding like not showing what the first town in the game eats, or why they haven't moved over to the nearby pre-war suburb like Silver does, when the game clearly states the water is better there. This is even funnier when you remember that even Oblivion had farms, there is zero in Fallout 3 unless you could some ruined farmhouses with no crops.
Unless you're being sarcastic, hard to tell when half the Fallout 3 fans are just ultra ironic gigachad avatars on twitter with contrarian /v/ opinions made out of spite.

FO76

I'm reminded that this game is probably still alive with paypigs, watching from the sidelines everything about this game seemed actively malicious and predatory from the start. I guess "gamers" will just throw themselves into these spiky deathpits as long as the spikes are all festooned with the super epic nostalgic brand that they grew up with.

It was a pretty bog standard "Massively Multiplayer" "Live Services" "game." They're not games. They're treadmills designed to get users hooked, trapped by FOMO, buried under sunk cost, so they can paypig for 7-10 years before the servers are shut down and they lose everything.

It's literally the same predatory business model that infinite numbers of shitty mobile gacha games use, it spread from there to PC gaming. It won't go away, not while you have shit like Genshin Impact selling more sparkly bullshit crystals in 24 hours on Steam than the entire profit margins of multiple major AAA releases combined.

Every big name publisher is trying this, becuase 1. they've lost all their talented devs due to the denmothers of the longhouse driving all the autistic straight white men out of development so they can make gamedev a woke daycare for females and brown people ("I spent a few years as a game designer" will be the new 40 year old cat lady's participation trophy as she slowly realizes she wasted her fertile years for nothing) so they can't do anything more complex and 2. It's INSANE amounts of dosh if they can trick the right number of people into "playing" it.

We'll never get another World of Warcraft or Everquest or The Elder Scrolls, not when they can make "The Elder Scrolls Adventure: Now with daily login bonuses and weekly interaction quotas! Pay $5 a week to skip ahead of the queue, paypiggy!" instead.

Even Diablo 4 was basically the same game as Diablo Immortal just cleaned up a bit so the paypigs won't squeal as much when they're butchered.
