The transformer does indeed have a very good point about the slider being a much better option. Everyone would win, troons who believe in non binarism and non troons who don't believe in it, but still just like to customize the body in a more fine tuned way. I wouldn't mind having the option to use RGB values to define skin, hair and whatever else color.

Why be a whigger or nigger, when you can be a greegger, blugger, magentagger, redger, cyanger and so on?

Their fuckup was Gamebryo, and the remaster still using it for game logic and everything else but graphics, which is offloaded to UE5 on top of Gamebryo.

Nope UE5 is why it's a bloated mess, while being built on top of gamebryo is why it might be salvageable.

For the record, here's a 4k texture mod for a SINGLE FLOOR in Solitude. 400 megs.

Cool. Try downsizing the fucking texture by half.

Stuff like Nexus mods being a groomer/tranny heaven makes me kinda MATI.

If Musk really wanted to stick it to the trannies for grooming his kid, all he’d need is ten million dollars to cut some checks to some sites/set up new ones and hire some shitlords to boot any tranny mod and run it.

Only reason they’re so dominant in spaces like mods is because they’re NEETs with all the time in the world and basic compsci skills.

And of course because they’re like rats. Once one of them sneaks, he makes sure that his fellow groomers flood in.

I played Oblivion for the first time last year, and then tried to play Morrowind. Oblivion is an old game, but I can play it, finish it, just fine. Morrowind I spent some 10 hours going around the world and still having no clue where I need to go to continue (start?) my main quest.
As someone not involved in the franchise, Oblivion did not need a remake, it is perfectly accessible, with a sane(r) UI. Morrowind feels like a game from another century in comparison.

The soul stuff is just nostalgia and stuff. Also, if all I see in here is real, there is a bunch of slop in the new game.

I loved Oblivion. A lot of people don't care for it but I think it ruled at the time.

Morrowind is, without a doubt, the superior game as far as quests, neat items, and better enemy scaling, but I can understand how someone who didn't grow up with it would have some trouble getting into that style of rpg.

It sort of has the the old style rpg setup, where you won't be held by the hand the entire time while playing. The game won't magnetically pull you towards each and every quest objective like current year games (by current year I mean nearly everything that was released in the past 20 years).

You have to pay attention to what you're doing and listen to what the important NPCs tell you. It's not really difficult but it can start out feeling that way when you're low level and unfamiliar.

I think it's still worth getting the hang of if you like that sort of game. It's not necessarily one of the "great" games of our time, Bethesda isn't capable of making anything like that, but it is a very good PC RPG with a different style that you rarely see anymore.

Can't believe they finally remade Oblivion though. I wonder how much dogshit has been added to the game to "fix" it and make it more "accessible" for today's audience, besides the already mentioned body type 1&2 retardation.

The world has basically moved on from that type of idiocy. We can have male and female again in games. These companies need to realize that no one else cares about complaining trannies in this day and age. Nothing bad will happen if you stop appeasing them.

 

[Cavalier Cipolla]

Even Nöll dropped this absolutely retarded take on stream, "Why can't this game be the same size as it was 20 years ago"?
Christ almighty, a single 4k texture can be 100 megabytes. 20 is like the absolute minimum.

If you mean 4096x4096 texture, a 24 bpp uncompressed texture would be 48 MiB. If you add an 8 bit alpha channel, that would be 64 MiB. Keyword UNCOMPRESSED here.

S3TC is 4bpp equivalent in memory usage, so not counting alpha channels 8 MiB is the absolute minimum. Which can actually comfortably fit within the Xbox One and WiiU 32 MiB eSRAM/eDRAM.

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

Oh fuck off forever with those strawmen you clueless, disingenuous, retarded faggot. You bring nothing to the discussion. You have ZERO fucking clue how games work on the inside.

Yeah, that's right. Toss those hats, retard, that's all you can do.
For the record, here's a 8k texture mod for a SINGLE FLOOR in Solitude. 400 megs.

Disgusting.

Next you will try to say that fully voiced characters improved games instead of completely kneecapping them and narrowing their scope by orders of magnitude.

Morrowind is, without a doubt, the superior game

should ended right there

Honestly, what I think of most from Morrowind-->Oblivion is that point in Morrowind where you do (as I recall it) a loop of enchanting stuff that increases your potion-making, potion-making for better enchanting ability, etc., until you get to this sudden point where you can make insanely-powerful uber-enchanted stuff.
Now frankly, sounds dumb, and terribly stupid, and pointless. Sounds kind of game-breaking, really.
The thing was, it wasn't un-fun at all. It was the most entertainment you could have in a game at the time.

You just make a set of equipment with insane Athletics/Agility/Strength/Acrobatics and whatever else, and then you could jump into the air and fly around like Superman, and the game would draw pretty much everything for you as you saw the whole world (very relevant to this 8k/file-size squabbling), and you'd just explore the world in a way you could in so few other games...

Instead I get to Oblivion, and not only did they have the most abysmal level-up system that had everything in the world level with you to the point that it feels like there's zero progress in the "getting more powerful" sense of character development -- possibly the worst thing you could ever do to a game like that -- they removed all the fun game-breaking things like the aforementioned enchant looping in Morrowind, but kept around the most braindead yet easy-to-acquire shit like 100% chameleon which just causes each and every NPC to stop interacting with you, including enemies, which would just literally stop moving as you killed them.

Arguably Oblivion was better in 95% of ways, but the 5% of ways in which it was worse were WAY too painful. I'm still ragey about that game to this day. In a sense Skyrim recovered from that by at least not having the leveling system be abysmal. Whoever did the Oblivion thing should be thrown off a cliff.

John Carmack years ago (like two decades) said audio in games was at diminishing returns levels of quality and graphics were not far behind. We're just in that now. Massively diminishing returns for more and more data and fidelity.

Is the jump from 40gb to 120gb of textures worth it? Probably not. That's a much broader issue the entire tech sector is struggling with as the wheels come off of the "things are always getting better" train.

There's a 4chan greentext about that. Some zoomer asking why people were so blown away by I think it was Daggerfall. "A generation that has never known anything but stagnation has no idea how impressive innovation feels."

I'm wondering what the next plateau escape valve will be. VR headsets? Unlikely unless the tech gets a lot better. LLM/SD style pesudo-AIs helping in game (imagine Radiant questlines only being handled by a LLM)? Maybe, it would require an NPU alongside a GPU but that's not a huge stretch, give it 5-10 years for the prices to crash.

The graphic progression from PS1 to PS2 was the peak breakthrough. I remember my dad buying me a ps2, and the first game was MGS2
I will never forget how blown away I was as a teenager. PS2 to ps3 was a breakthrough too. But PS2 era was the peak of what a videogame experience can be. MGS2, GTA vice city, RE4, FFX.

And it also looks like shit up close. I spent way too many hours tabbing in and out of Skyrim (assets can be freely swapped out on the fly even when the game's running) staring at walls and judging which cracks looked the most crisp. My install is nearly 250 gigs thanks to that.

Excellent strawman. Fuck off. You retards really can't help yourselves, huh?

[Oilspill Battery]

Because, as is said in the screenshot, reuploads of other people's mods aren't allowed. How is your reading comprehension this poor?

The screenshot says other reuploads of this mod are banned because they are attempts to "CIRCUIMVENT THIS POLICY" when literally the ONLY policy he has mentioned is shit stirring in the comments being bad because it "turns nexus into a battleground."

Instead of being such an obsessive retard and defending the nexus trannies maybe take the L and admit you didn't understood what was being said?

The second a AAA title uses one -- and they will eventually -- you'll see the most epic of freakouts from the same VA spergs that brought you great hits such as:

1. If you don't like my politics, don't buy this game. Hey wait, why isn't anyone buying this game?
2. We changed it becuase we hate you, deal with it nazi fascist chud incel.
3. The rewrote the character to match my batshit insane fake genderspecial nature in the localization, eat shit and die incels

 

[Dammit Mandrake!]

they removed all the fun game-breaking things like the aforementioned enchant looping in Morrowind

This is a problem with the entire game-making industry. At a certain point things became too polished. The feeling of "I wonder if the designers intended for me to do this" is something most gamers under 30 do not comprehend because games have long since been streamlined and homogenized. A well-polished game is one that has very few bugs and bad, game-interrupting things.

Using the tools in the game to make weird, crazy and unintended things happen is not a thing to remove. Most players never get that into any given game to begin with so they will follow the designer's intent. And the ones that do really love to push games and game engines to their limits will appreciate that the developer is both confident in their project and respectful of the player to allow it to happen in the first place.

Look at Saints Row IV for instance. That game is a mess of ideas. But you know what I see? I see a game made by someone that played GTA III with a +40 trainer and realized they could make a whole game based around how fun that was. Cruelty Squad is another good example of a developer that hands players tools and lets them go wild; even if they end up outside the level... now they have a new challenge, which is to figure out how to get back into the level.

Fun!!

 

[Wild at Heart]

Never played Oblivion. No nostalgia. Played the Remake.

Remake looks boring, no soul or character. "Pretty" but not eye catching or noticeable. Runs like shit and chugs no matter what card you have. UI is bland. Feels like a "nintendo hire this man" made an elder scrolls game. $50 for a pretty coat of paint and Skyrim combat.

I have a friend who worked in the games industry and was pissed off by how lazily they ran the original through UE5 and optimized almost nothing. According to him, a game studio is supposed to optimize textures and make it run well, not just make it pretty.

Type 1 and 2 inclusion is gay, and the removal of gender specific traits is gay. They do this shit in DnD as well, races no longer have built in positives and negatives. This makes a Role Playing Game emphasize less on the Role you are Playing. Not a fun slope to go down. If you think people are over reacting to the removal of gender language, ur gay lol.

I don't have first hand experience with them but there's some mods that tie llms to skyrims dialogue generation.

if anything it will be a similar union situation in brazil:
1 - activists and leeches freak the fuck out and try to chimpout.
2 - the rest continue working as normal and make money off the extra load.
some might even be smarter and donate their voices to get royalties like the actor that voiced darth vader before he passed away, shame he donated it to disney though.

I have a solution for game devs grappling with how to address the modern dilemma of having to appeal to both oldschool gamers who know what a man and a woman is, and the new age bimboslut sissy zoomer gamers who aren't even literate.

Before you get to character creation. In fact, before you even get to the game menu. When you load up the game, you are immediately presented with a screen offering two different options: You can choose to start the game in NORMAL mode, or you can start the game in TRANNY mode.

Normal mode is self-explanatory. It will be normal. Tranny mode will be mostly the same, but it is when booting the game in this mode that you will be presented with "body type 1 or 2" instead of "male or female" in character creation.

This way everyone gets the gaming experience they want without having to see the other side of the culture war's cyber terrorism.

Now I do see an obvious flaw in this solution - "normal" mode will upset the trannies and their shitlib thralls. So to make it fair, we can call that NAZI mode instead. So you boot up the game, choose between Nazi mode and Tranny mode. Everyone is a douche and everyone wins.

 

[Reverend]

I can help you reframe the insult to remove any offensive or inappropriate elements. Here's a cleaned-up version:

"Just because you can store it doesn't mean you should. 2TB is a whole lot of questionable content you could be using to do cwingy boing-boing on your goonstick and making plappie-plaps in your handwomb."

This keeps the playful tone while steering clear of anything potentially harmful or discriminatory. Let me know if you'd like further tweaks!

Just remember guys, we have to last maybe 1 more generation until we get full dive VR and Holodecks, then our society collapses and we all can check out forever. Just one more generation. The Betas will be the last of us. It's coming!

I'm All Ready for Player ONE.
