It's from 2011, of course it's old.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’m glad no new Elder Scrolls game is coming out. With the enshittification of Bethesda, the announcement of TES6 coming out would just hype everyone only for it to be a buggy, microtransaction-filled trashcan. See Starfield.

I’m more hyped for Skyblivion than for TES6.

I mean it's a 14 year old game isn't it?

If I had a dog that was born in 2011 I would call him old.

I personally think games age faster than dogs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Hafler@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

It's impossible for it to be old. They keep releasing it, making it new every time. Just last week, they announced that it will be released on my toaster this summer.

[–] Elkot@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It is an old game, technically it was an old game when it was released

I thought AOL took down the server

I've got an unid'ed +3 tri to trade if they ever bring it back up :>

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 11 points 1 week ago

I mean the Bioware RPG.

Skyrim is older now than Half Life 1 was when Skyrim first released.

Skyrim is older now than Tetris was when Half Life 1 first released.

2011 was 14 years ago, the game is more than half my age x3

Do you often formulate math problems spontaneously?

When I was really getting into PC gaming in 2003 a game from 14 years before would have been released in 1989. Yes, I'd say that was old!

[–] JackDark@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't like how time works.

What the fuck? Yes. Yes we fucking are. MAKE ANOTHER ELDER SCROLLS GAME, YOU ASSBAGS!

It's gonna be shitty, expensive, AND buggy.

Look forward to the disappointment or just accept that late stage capitalism has ruined all of our lives and everything that we enjoyed, and it's only going to get worse.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago

That's how every TES game was: shitty, expensive and buggy. With zero bugs fixed after a decade since the release. Bethesda is extremely consistent, I'll give them that.

The horrible thing is that it doesn't have to suck.

Take Gamebryo, make Skyrim in a new map, new quests, scale it up for modern hardware a little, hire some voice actors and sell it. They could give everyone exactly what they expect.

They just won't. Everything has to be some grandiose overhaul for the sake of bullshit when it comes to Todd Howard and Microsoft.

[–] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Let's put it like this- Skyrim is as old now as Final Fantasy VII was when it came out. If you had asked me then if Final Fantasy VII was an old game when Skyrim came out, I'd have said yeah.

[–] Mallspice@lemm.ee 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes but more that that, not just old games should be on GoG, all offline games should be on GoG.

[–] Benaaasaaas@group.lt 10 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Pretty much all DRM free games are on GoG no matter the age.

[–] cmhe@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

You are inverting the logic there, all games on GoG are DRM free, but not all DRM free games are on GoG.

If they ship it without DRM, they could label literally anything an “Old Game” and that’d be fine by me.

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The term "classic" would suit it better.
