The idea of Beyond Skyrim is awesome. But they've taken too long and are nowhere near completion. By the time they finish it, if they finish it, ES6 will most likely be out and no one will care.
Besides it's basically just single player ESO. If you want to see large portions of Tamriel in game form, that's your best bet. I played it for awhile and that game is freaking HUGE. |

As they said in the video, Morrowind and Oblivion still have a very active mod scene and player base, so I don't think ES:6 will stop the project or kill interest.
Don't really care for the gameplay in ESO. Plus, thee enviornments lack the finer details that you see in skyrim. Unlike Ronda Rousey's vagina of course. |

Ftr they said morrowind has an active mod scene. Oblivions is dead and they said as much.
Morrowinds live on because he community around it believes its the greatest game of all time. The only major TES4 mod still going is the morrowind mod and that doesnt have any progress really. Skyrim, like oblivion, will dwindle after TES6 drops. |

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon finally got a release date. May 24th next week. $9.99. It's a spin off of the upcoming Ritual of the Night.
But, if you're one of those who kicked in $28 or more in kickstarter, you get it for free. https://www.playstationtrophies.org/...y-Release.html |

Played it at a friends house. Didn't buy it myself, so I guess I'm part of the problem lol.
I think it was just bad timing for the release. Like, disgustingly bad timing. That was really the reason why I didn't purchase it. Despite how fun it was, you could see from a mile away that the servers would be empty in a couple months. |

Never played the first one, but this looks to be similar to other Bethesda/id shooters like Doom and Wolfenstein which I enjoyed immensely, so I'll give it a try. |

Fucking god damn 2 of the 3 strikes in Destiny Warmind are just story missions from the campaign, with the one original strike being a timed exclusive on ps4.
Could Bungie please just stop being cunts? Just for a little while? |

I ain't going back to that anytime soon. Still regretting that $70 I spent during Black Friday. At this point Bungie needs to scrap everything they're going by and start from scratch if they're even thinking about Destiny 3. |

They have to make a true sequel if Destiny 3 is going to succeed. Not another Destiny 1.5
It has to have something that really shakes things up like Sspaceship combat or something. Beyond that, they need to make it more rewarding to play. Which is something they could still do with Destiny 2. The game actually did a great job of adding more activities to partake in, than the first game. The problem is once you get to the end game (where you're going to spend most of your time) theres no point in doing any of them. You've got a handful of things you can do once a week to get luminous engrams, and then you're done. You're not progressing at all until next week. Give people a reason to do all this stuff. Give every activity on every planet a unique armor set or weapons with valuable perks. Adventure missions, patrols, lost sectors, fucking all of it. Give your contacts on each planet ornament sets for the special armor and weapons they provide. Do that and add new stuff each season and that's how you get people to stay and keep playing the game. On paper, that may seem like asking a lot compared to what they've done. But other games that are all about end game grinding take a similar approach. Games like Diablo 3, ESO, and Final Fantasy 14 remain so popular because they're constantly adding more content and making all the activities in their game worth the player's time. I don't know why Bungie has been unable to produce enough content to keep people playing, but they are going to need to step it the fuck up. The big fall expansion will likely bring some people back, similar to the Taken King, but if the franchise is going to survive, they are going to have to reevaluate everything for Destiny 3. They're going to have to knock it out of the park, and what they're doing now isn't going to cut it. |

Yeah that's not happening a lot of people in high positions step down. Even outside of the end game Destiny has an album of baffling decisions that can't possibly have sound good on paper. And they have a habit of developing a fuck ton of useless content; large environments filled with dead space, every piece of gear from white to blue is useless (million ways they could spawn weapon materials), Farm has no exclusive vendor, ships are basically loading screen flair, and some of the most interesting environments are exclusive to campaign whereas they could be a Patrol map (the city of the final stage).
People wonder where the budget went, it went there. All that crap has to be fully modeled and detailed and high def to be seen ONCE ever in some cases. Had they found a way to repurpose assets already in-game they could solve a lot of longevity issues. Imagine a blue chest piece you can Infuse into a purple? That right there would validate tons of gear and allow more visual options for players. Same with guns. Masterwork cores are needed to re-roll Masterwork gear. How do you get Cores? Masterwork gear drops. Why not have Cores drop themselves for certain activities? Nobody knows. There's something very strange about Bungie's design culture that is reminiscent of somebody or somebodies never being told 'no' or challenged about their ideas. |

So, Amazon knocks 20% off the top for new games. But, you gotta be a member of Prime.
Gamestop has...…………..nothing going on for new game discounts. Unless there's another retailer who does a good deal for new game discounts, now's a good time for any small time video game retailers to step up and grab some business. |

Don't think it's a robo arm. Just a very elaborate prosthetic.
That would be cool though, now that I think of it. Make it an alternate history game where aliens invade during WWII, and have a mixture of period specific and sci fi weaponry and vehicles. Maybe even some that combine the two. Would be a hell of a lot more interesting than WWII. Again. |
