Holy shit, I got Baldur's Gate 3 recently on sale for less than this lazy remaster of a 19 year old game.
Gamers are lapping this shit up too. What happened to the rage people had for the Switch 2 being expensive?
Btw its already been cracked for pirating. I'm gonna renew my VPN later cause I've been wanting an Oblivion fix for a while.
oh thank god. I was surprised by how much I want this but I can’t bring myself to fork over any more nostalgia bux to the house of Todd
But the deluxe edition gives you bonus horse armor! 
Remember when people actually got upset about this sort of thing? When horse armor for the original oblivion was used as an example of game companies just being extremely greedy and blatantly anti-consumer? Haha, remember when gamers actually took issue with DLC and "upgrades" that did nothing but provide an empty cosmetic change to the game?
we were right to be mad at the time
Horse armour was only like $3 and ppl got mad.
I guess it proves simply complaining about it does nothing because the market will just do what it wants.
I'm starting to think that this whole "free market" thing doesn't actually solve consumer's problems and only makes them worse... 
Normalization or something.
I remember when dlc used to HUGE addition to the games (even then there were criticized), and not just stuff cut out from the actual game and sold as day 1 dlc.
Deluxe edition also gets you an art book and the soundtrack
I thought that it was basically just a texture mod at first, too, but apparently this is an unreal engine 5 game, so it actually is a lot more than a texture mod. Even if they call it remastered, it is essentially a full remake. I wonder what this means for the future of the Gamebryo engine.
It's unreal doing the graphics but apparently it's still Bethesda's engine doing the rest of the game. I'm sure they updated some stuff but it's gonna play pretty damn similarly to Oblivion
The logic is the same as Oblivion and it plays exactly like that. It's a remaster not a remake.
It's unreal doing the graphics but apparently it's still Bethesda's engine
what in tarnation...
Ive used this as an opportunity to be real fun at parties and point out to libs “Bethesda is on BDS, so this is kinda like Hogwarts Legacy and you’ll have to decide if a video game is worth it.”
Yes 
It doesn't even seem to have Denuvo, so it should be easy to pirate too.
Imagine playing this when Caves of Qud is right there
holy fucking shit lmaooooooooo
no chance. straight piracy or utilising some sort of forex scheme to get cheap game pass
on the other hand, i also remember the dark days of N64 cartridge pricing here
Remember when an Xbox 360 game could end up being $120 at launch at EB games? I sure do.
Bethesda fans are a different breed to the ones getting mad about Nintendo
GIB MONEYS NOW
I have no idea who can afford this shit atm.
Also please fuck off with forever culture. Things can be in the past. It's ok to move on.
You can afford it. Everything is free if you steal it. Take back your common inheritance.
This isn't true. It has some significant changes, but still feels like the original. They nailed it.
There is new voice acting, and voices are effected by your position to the speaker. They improved the leveling system. They added sprint. The combat feels similar, but is a lot less janky. Of course the improved VFX and SFX. There is probably other things. But it's definately more than a remaster. It feels like a remake.
Oblivion is a bad game to start with
compared to morrowind but it's better than everything that came after besides new vegas (which bgs didn't make)
Skyrim is better than Oblivion 
The levelling, graphics, and voice acting are better, but the quests, which imo are the real draw, are vastly worse.
I heartily disagree with you
I guess there's no more marrow in the bones of skyrim?
Where's the remaster of their last actually good game? Daggerfall?
Why not an expansion to Starfield? 
Fucking Starfield…I had forgotten about that one.
Nyahahaha, for some reason i can use my VPN again despite not renewing it in over a year
a ton of people i know are super excited for this
i don't get it
lmao $50 US for a texture/model update is now being called high calibre and generous lmao gamers
yea it's crazy, people see not $80 USD and go "wow, this is so great, they're so generous"
idk if it's that im too indie pilled but if a game is more than like $20 i usually wait for it to go on sale or pirate it
Bethsoft belongs in 
what happened to ethics in gaming?
People were mad at nintendo because theyre racist af, more than anything
