tfw old enough to remember the time Duke was the joke instead of Half Life 3
Half Life 3 not coming out was a joke before Duke Nukem Forever
It’s okay, we still have The Elder Scrolls 6 and Commander Keen 7 to wait for
And Beyond Good and Evil 2
With the way Ubisoft is going, that one’s the least likely to see the light of day. Sadly :-(
Even if ubi were doing fine I doubt we’d ever seen it, and if we ever so, I expect another DNF case
Yeah, I fear you’re right. Such a shame of the amazing world and lore they built.
Schrodinger’s Delayed/Rumored Game: while unreleased it is both the perfect game and the worst game of all time. You won’t know until it’s released.
I hope TES 6 never comes out. Skyrim was a disappointment anyway, I don’t think my heart could take it if they made another story about a big bad wanting to destroy the world for no reason at all.
I thought the reason was to get revenge on the human slaves who had stolen the voice from dragons?
Before Skyrim changed Alduin lore, Alduin was Akatosh. The Time Dragon Akatosh ate the world at the end of each era/“kalpa”, with the world being reformed and reshaped. More about the natural cycles of the world and history. (Time is kind of a big thing in the series - the Dragon Breaks at the end of Daggerfall - time breaks in such a way that multiple contradictory things happen simultaneously. It is kinda cool that the most fascinating part of lore is a ass pull to make every ending of Daggerfall canon and not have to pick one)
Skyrim separated Akatosh and Alduin (and there are some in game books justifying this change in theology.) Akatosh is still good god, Alduin is now some sort of independent entity that is just purely evil.
It would have been much more interesting if Alduin was still Akatosh. If the point of the game were you saying - no, I don’t want the world to end even if it is “supposed to” - there could have been some interesting actual plot to break up the dungeon fetch quests. There could have been some tower lore even, that would have been fun.
It reminds me of the flattening of Mehrunes Dagon in Oblivion. Like yeah, he’s part of the House of Troubles and not great but I think he’d actually promise something of value to the Mythic Dawn? Also, maybe not fuck them over for lols? He wasn’t just The Devil with the serial numbers filed off.
Like, Morrowind and Daggerfall’s villains all had motivations that made sense. Dagoth Ur is responding to imperialism by trying to create an ethnostate under his direct rule, Daggerfall doesn’t even really have straight “villains” necessarily. Heck, even in Redguard the main antagonist is a Governor for the empire that is trying to shut down a gang of pirates. Jagar Tharn in Arena is just an evil wizard that wants to impersonate the Emperor.

They announced the release date earlier today! 😉
I thought you were joking… THIS IS ACTUALLY REAL
Team Cherry was waiting the entire time just to ruin my post
So sorry @OP
Just to be totally clear, it was not real when I commented this 😂🤣
Is that the Hollow knight sequel? Still got nothing on Star citizen.

Now it’s out forever.
Are you talking about the 1996 side scroller? I’m still seeding that torrent.

Those were awesome!
Honestly it was a good game for a console port. Really enjoyable and fun although the multiplayer was DOA.
The same is going to happen now with GTA 6 :(
There’s more than one franchise with that problem. The Elder Scrolls…
And that one needs a continuation of the story and lore, unlike GTA…
Think no one regretted it more than Gabe from Penny Arcade. https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/09/08/the-wager
Yeah, at that point in time we still thought there was a chance of the shorter but faster to produce half life episode 3.
This post reminds of Slashdot. Good times.
