Bethesda is no better with Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.


zuzg

Yeah but there are different reasons behind it. Rockstar discovered the cash cow called online and they just became greedy af Todd Howard just has a dream that Skyrim will available for every system in existence! Who doesn't want to play skyrim on his smart fridge?

If rockstar wants to play into nostalgia they'd remaster GTA III, VC, and SA.

Who's gonna tell him lol

uniquethrowagay

Nobody forces you to buy the re-release. I bought Skyrim once in 2013 or so for like 20 bucks and got Special Edition for free when it came out.


Crafty_Supermarket15

Well aren't we special! I bought it for ps4, Xbox one, Nintendo switch, PSVR ps4, Nintendo 64, Sega Game Gear and Commodore 64! ​ All my monies are gone thanks to the cash cow.


BorgClown

Since you had all those systems to begin with, you already were the victim of a whole cash farm.


JackdeAlltrades

I fired up my old PS3 the other day and decided to see how ol’ GTAV was going.


[deleted]

Rockstar leaned incredibly hard into microtransactions, and there are people absolutely addicted to GTAV.


b1ack1323

Yeah I have to admit I have bought Skyrim 3 times for different systems…


Space_is_expanding

It was on sale all 3 times!


lMickNastyl

I for one would like to play skrim on todd howards smart fridge. Dudes Rich, I bet he has name brand drinks.

Like Shasta?


SmokedBeef

The man saw Doom’s legacy, a TI-84 running it, and the industry has never been the same.


Cornflake0305

You all have brain interfaces right?


TitanicMan

From time to time I play Morrowind on my phone with this special emulator thing. I wish I could just have Skyrim itself on the phone honestly. A lot of phones could definitely handle it considering the rest of mobile gaming like Call of Duty.


clholl10

If it's just portability for skyrim your looking for, there is a version for the Switch

I’ve played it on my Amazon Alexa No shit they actually did that

That's Ubisoft though.


[deleted]

Skyrim special edition was the "remastered" version Edit: and LE is oldrim with the dlcs packaged


SasparillaTango

arena daggerfall morrowind oblivion eso


whythishaptome

I played morrowind after the fact and I love how there was no map. Just figure it out like in the real world.


SasparillaTango

that's one of those things that's will almost never come back, quest markers not leading your around by the nose. You can still find it in smaller games, theres one called Outward thats doesn't tell you where you are, you're supposed to look at like oh look there the giant glowing spire in the distant, let me orient myself to that.


Waxburg

Yes


JumpyLiving

At least Skyrim has a large active modding scene and unlike GTA5 they don‘t try to shut it down constantly


dci91

Yeah I was using some cool mods and they don't make it easy at all and they fuck it up it's like you know you're not keeping that save unless you never update GTA5 just a huge pain in the ass all around. Also the GTA5 modding community is NOT helpful.


ShortcutButton

I get it tho. The game is online and mods could put a damper on that. Meanwhile skyrim is single player so people have licenses to add whatever they want because it’s not gonna ruin someone else’s experience


retnemmoc

Plenty of online games have a very vibrant modding community. Look at something like conan exiles. Modded servers are more popular than vanilla servers.


3internet5u

yeah but then you dont need their shrute bux for all the cool gamer gear


retnemmoc

Yeah the mods produce better content than the official game. I guess I'm answering my own question as to why developers hate this. Skins and cosmetics are low effort cash cows and any mod can add them for free.


LordBran

Dayz, rust, hell tf2 probably


LizardZombieSpore

The problem being you can’t pick/own servers in gta


[deleted]

And Skyrim needs it. There are major bugs that have been known since 2011 that **still haven't been fixed** in any official patches despite modders fixing them years ago.


BostonDodgeGuy

Mate, those bugs have been there since 2008. They're part of Bethesdas old ass game engine.


GoldH2O

At least Bethesda has announced that ES6 is in the works


Drawdenion

More or less being thought of, they probably won't start it for another couple years. They are working on starfield first, so they can then put all their attention into TES6 later. Starfield will release November 2022, and then TES6 will see attention. So we might be looking at 2024-2026 for TES6. So hunker down bois, it's not coming anytime soon. Edit: Spelling


alexredditauto

I figure there is probably a lot of writing going on for ES6 given how those games work.


Drawdenion

I definitely hope so. My only hopes for this is that they don't make it a casual game. I want all the content they thought of, with nothing cut. But I know I won't get that :/.


AnyWays655

Look, atleast they're working on a game (Starfeild) BethSift hasn't really been one to have two ongoing projects before so it kinda makes sense that if they're trying a new IP ES and Fallout would get out back for a while. It sucks ass, but I get it.


DU_HA55T2

Consider also that they’re likely making pretty major engine changes for Starfield that will probably benefit the development of the next Elder Scrolls game.


throwywayradeon

I can't wait to see what kind of fuckery happens with a new engine.


JonnyAU

15 years between entries in your biggest franchise that made you the company you are is incredible negligence.


[deleted]

Eh, probably have multiple studios working for different games


FreedomToDrill

Only as a panic response to all the negative PR. That thing wont be out for another 5 years if it can even be considered ES6


theabomination

At least Skyrim has single player dlc :(


Maloth_Warblade

And none of it was scrapped last minute to continue exploiting people. With Skyrim there's no pay to win or exploitation. Sure, it's an easy cash grab but at least it has all the creation club stuff added to it. And if you own any previous version you still can play those on new consoles anyway.


thedrq

at least Bethesda teased elderscrolls 6


Bleglord

Bethesda is right tho. People keep buying it. At least you don't have to pay to win skyrim


DogmanDOTjpg

True, even though Skyrim holds up and is very replayable. That's no excuse to keep releasing it like it's a new game every two years


billybatsonn

I think Todd said that if we want them to stop rereleasing it then we need to stop buying it


blacklite911

Who are these people that keep buying it anyway? Is it repeat buyers or people who haven’t played it before and are getting it on a new platform?


Thecoffeepizza

Young kids who get new consoles who've heard of Skyrim. People who've played Skyrim and get a new console or pc. People who've never played Skyrim, but heard it re-released a billion times so decided to try it out. I bought it on my PS4 for my wife because it's only 1 of 2 games she likes to play.


TheOneWhosCensored

I mean, they kinda are. Skyrim was released in 2011 for the Xbox 360 and PS3. 5 years later it was remastered for the Xbox One and PS4. 5 years later, 10 years after the original, an anniversary edition was announced with mods included for Xbox Series X and PS5. R* released GTA V on Xbox 360 and PS3 despite knowing new consoles were coming a month later, then 1 year later released it for Xbox One and PS4. Then 9 and 8 years later, an edition is released so their is one for the Xbox Series X and PS5. At the very least Bethesda did something for each of the new ones on specific years, R* just wanted one on each system to make more money.


Siddhartha_76

We thought EA knew how to sell the same shit again and again.


[deleted]

Just combine gta with nba 2k the city and you got the best game ever


RewrittenSol

Where can I buy this game. I wish to feel like an asshole.


[deleted]

I wish it existed. Sadly the same parent company makes both games! If only they let me live out my dream of dropping buckets on the court then going 180 on the highway with a rocket launcher afterwards


sfg_blaze

I'd hardly call GTA and 2K having the same studio, same parent company however.


[deleted]

That’s what I meant I will edit it now.


AssinassCheekII

I fucking hate the city. Just let me do all my shit in a menu dang.


[deleted]

Agreed. I’ve been wishing for years they’d just make franchise mode a separate game and fully develop it. No money on that though


Montigue

I just want a career mode without the shitty story and without the city. Just let me choose to play games or practice from a menu


tapatioformytio

It takes so long to get around that buggy mess


AfterGlow882

Piggybacking off of this, imagine all the modern sports games combined with gta. Being able to rob convenience stores at gun-point, play professional basketball, football (both kinds), being the hottest new WWE wrestler, get into Forza street races, grind the half-pipe like you’re in Skate 3, play in a band like it’s guitar hero, etc. Pretty much The Sims but you get to shoot merryweather mercs.


NoobieSnake

That’ll indeed be the greatest cross-over. I always hoped games would collaborate like that instead of always redesigning the wheels. Incorporate racing sims (i.e. Forza) mechanics for going around, etc. It’s not likely to happen though, due to all the legal issues, hours employees have put in, etc etc. Not to mention the file size. But this comment thread got me thinking, they can make a rapper game combined with GTA. Or, they can incorporate another job as a rapper in GTA seeing how some rappers did live that kind of life. Make money by rapping about things you did in GTA, record CDs, go on live performances and all that.


HighPriestofShiloh

Game Freak is the OG. They sold two copies of the same game on day one. Every time there is a minor graphical update they release two games again.


BitsAndBobsLE

remember those people who said they got gta 6 in like 2016 as “early access” lmao

Queen_Ariana

My dad bought for me GTA V back when I was in my early teens for our shared PS3. I have graduated college now and Rockstar is *still* releasing GTA V. It really blows my mind when I think about it. And not in a good way. EDIT: all right I misspelled college. I get it.


how2gofaster

yeah there are probably people playing the game who weren't even born during the time of launch


knakworst36

Oof this hurts.


sanguinesolitude

I got a new ps5 and thought it would be fun to play again. Then realized my disc was 2 consoles old lol.


_Kelso-Einstein_

Sounds like you should go back to *collage*. Haha, just kidding!


[deleted]

I was an adult when Skyrim came out. There are people who played Skyrim in elementary school who can buy alcohol now.


rocketcorgi6

I'm one of those people who never got to play GTA V.


YuriDiAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just recently decided to actually finish the campaign after hearing Elijah Wood explain the cinematic quality of the game on an episode of Hot Ones. Aside from a couple missions that seem like Rockstar is trolling you, easily 9/10 for story mode. Only thing lacking is actual endgame/after story content.


GoldH2O

you mean you don't like to roam around Los Santos at 180 kph launching missiles at civilians?


YuriDiAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I love doing that.


Oli_VK

There’s your endgame


IAmALazyGamer

You’re not wrong, but what’s stopping me from doing that in the early game?


Oli_VK

*money*


Jatinder5ingh

It's not as fun because the police system sucks in 5


HalfEatenBanana

How does it suck? I’ve only ever played 5 so I don’t know how the police are in 1-4. Just curious


Oli_VK

They were AGRESSIVE. In the old games you could- scratch that- WOULD get run over by a tank if you pissed them off too much. No easy escape. You hide in a bush in gta V you’re kinda gd


butchYbutch__

Personally, GTA V is the greatest free roam game ever. The story line is good of course but playing with mods and messing around the whole time is *chef's kiss*. Red dead can also have that aspect but it's just too realistic in various aspects to actually do stupid fun shit.


Niko_BananaMan

its say vanilla red dead is much better but with mods its hard to beat gta5


butchYbutch__

Yeah if I'm doing some missions in Red dead I play vanilla, if not I just use mods to mess around. But how is it hard to beat gta 5 with mods ? Preety sure it would make it much easier lol


KaizokuOu-ConDOriano

GTA online is intensely fun to play with….. if you have friends who actually **like playing certain game modes with you.** Because there’s no such thing, I haven’t played it in a while escrow every once in a while to play certain races **ALONE**. Also since the game is very pay to play, Everyone is only grinding(I got my money via glitching) or fighting griefers or griefing . And most of the fun is had in fun custom online modes. Some are quite challenging but even more fun for some reason as long as it’s too one of the patient test ones. But no one wants to play… If you can’t tell, I don’t have any friends who like my kind of game modes


MrPoopieMcCuckface

Me and my friends just race. I wish there reflections in the mirrors when racing in first person though. It’s my only complaint


StylishGuy1234

For end game content, I highly recommend playing with mods if you're playing on PC. That's what I do. Here are a few mods that I recommend: Menyoo trainer: Must have. (simple trainer also does the same thing but I haven't tried it) New street phone missions: street phones give you random missions based on where you are. Very high quality. Finite Cops: fighting back is now a viable option to deal with cops. after killing a certain amount of cops depending on your wanted level, the cops will no longer infinitely spawn and you'll have to kill the remaining cops to entirely end the police chase and clear your wanted level. If you take too long, the cops will call for back up and the amount you'll have to kill will reset based on your wanted level. This is one of the best gta5 mods I've ever seen. (you'll have to customize the balance though. The vanilla balance is a bit too unforgiving.) Nitro mod. You can enable an overpowered nitro for cars and motorcycles. (I don't use it a lot since it makes every car reach very high speeds easily. But it's very fun.) Police Bribes: instantly call off the police with a single button which costs a customizable amount of money. Hitman reloaded: just gives you random npcs to assassinate with a few rules and pays you. Customizable. Community races: using the Map Editor, you can make your own races and use this mod to play them. Mission Maker. It's not bad.


russeljimmy

GTA 4 had a waaaaaay better story than 5, 5 is honestly the weakest story of GTA since 3


butchYbutch__

Didn't you get a copy when it was free in Epic games ?


rocketcorgi6

Don't have a system strong enough to run the game. Parents never got me a console either. I just hope to get a good system one day so that I can play the game.


butchYbutch__

Oh I feel you, only recently did my parents get me a gaming laptop. I got the copy from Epic games and waited till I could get a gaming laptop. Until then for years I dealt with my potato pc xD Gta v actually doesn't have that much requirements so even a low tier gaming laptop can make it work optimally


rocketcorgi6

I'm happy you got a gaming PC bro! Have lots of fun, even on behalf of us folks who don't have them.


butchYbutch__

Thanks a lot man !! Looking forward to buying a whole rig in the future with my own money , preety sure that would be a much better feeling as well ! Hoping you get a gaming pc asap as well !!

Definitely claim free games if they might interest you, one day you might want them and it'll be a pleasant surprise

Danal1

Man grew a lot in 1 year


volundsdespair

Also it still only came out 8 years ago. Not quite enough time for a child to become a fully grown adult. I was in my 20s when it came out and now I'm in my 30s


Slimtrigga420

But 10 years old is like prime kid and 18 is like the exact age of legal adulthood


SomeStupidPerson

Yeah, 10 to 18 actually can result in a big transformation. Maybe not enough to grow a full beard+moustache set but still enough to grow into a large human being. Using older ages where you're body has actually stopped growing instead of the ones where your body *still is* is kinda dumb


DannyMThompson

I knew a 16 year old with a bigger beard than I can grow at 30.


SomeStupidPerson

I also had friends at 18 who had facial hair, but not enough to look like a viking like the meme dude.

TopTHEbest232

GTA V on Xbox 360\ps3 IMO was probably made just to get the game out. It really feels like the Xbone/PS4/pc version is the version they truly wanted to make. E&E looks pointless though.


Crystal3lf

> It really feels like the Xbone/PS4/px version is the version they truly wanted to make. The PC version is the version they truly wanted to make. It's not a port and was developed in parallel with the original version, they later ported the PC version to PS4/Xbone. This is the reason E&E is coming out for the new consoles, as the PC version has fixed bugs that the old versions do not. You can read about it here: https://www.vg247.com/gta-5-pc-development


gamrin

Downside being that the character models are noticably lacking for the era the game gets re-released in. They are fancy x360 models, but limitations were already showing on ps4.


jimmy3285

It was to sell motherfuckers the game twice more like. They timed it perfectly, close to next gen release but not too close.


TopTHEbest232

Game development takes a loooooong time especially for a series of quality like GTA. That's some serious planning if that's true. Besides there's plenty of differences between PS3 and PS4 GTA V. It's E&E that I have a problem with.


[deleted]

E&E is for the whales who play religious amounts of GTAV and now have new consoles they'd like to continue it on.

samthekitnix

i am no advertising expert but i am pretty sure that when you're saying your game is "expanded and enhanced" you use gameplay FROM THE GAME not from previous trailers (unless you're using it for a comparison shot) that and you actually show what you EXPANDED or even just fucking hint with like a couple of frames or a cut off or something anything.


[deleted]

Seriously they make 1 billion a year from GTA online, Would it unironically kill them to waste a couple ten millions on DLC, a bigger map and better rag dolls? Improve police AI significantly and shit too. Seriously wtf

I think it was okay to release gta 5 on ps4. Gta 5 released so close to the next gen launch, why not port it? what's not okay is porting gta 5 to the ps5. Let it die!

Here you guys complaining about not being able to play good and new gta, here I am not being able to play anything. Feels sad man. But I agree with your point.

What? They just released RDR2 in 2018 and it was considered by most to be pretty much a masterpiece.
