  • Just wanted to say that while I agree with the spirit of your comment, there are so many Nintendo first party titles that barely hit 30 fps, that a power bump would be nice.

    I’m not expecting 4k 144 fps, but just hitting a consistent 30 (or call me crazy, 60) would make me very happy. Playing Xenoblade at sub 720p, or Tears of the Kingdom at less than 30, is just unacceptable imo.

    I don’t even care about a Switch 2, just give me a Switch Pro or something, something that can play all the available games well.

    You’ll never know what it’s like to enjoy a sunny summer day, not a cloud in the sky, with a high of 82. Unlucky.

    God damn man this is embarrassing, and I say that as a Fahrenheit using American.

    You realize the only reason that 82 sounds like that is because you grew up with it, right? That to someone using Celsius, 28 degrees sounds exactly the same in their head? We’re not the only ones who get to experience the feeling “of 82”, others do too, they just call it something different. This isn’t complicated stuff.

    I swear the only explanation is narcissism. Just an complete inability to empathize and understand other people’s worldviews.

    I mean fair enough I guess, but when an rpg’s rpg mechanics are practically non existent it kind of hurts the experience. Even if the world building is stellar.

    And I wouldn’t say mechanics have “never” been a strong point of these games. For all of Morrowind’s flaws, it had actual rpg elements. And that was along with some of the best world building the series has ever seen, before or since.

    Unfortunately I disagree. It’s embarrassing but I have around 3k hours in Skyrim, split between the original 360 version, the PC version, and the PC version of SE. I’ve done every single quest multiple times and know virtually everything about the game.

    That being said, I’d still call it shallow. Most mechanics are only surface level and don’t actually affect much of anything at all outside of combat, if even that. Quests don’t have choices, and how you interact with the world and those within it have no bearing on anything at all. Skyrim is effectively an action sandbox, with any rpg system being shallow or nonexistent.

    I love Skyrim to death, albeit mostly for its modding scene, but even I can admit that it’s not some super deep game.


  • people seem way more quick to point out the flaws of any game than having fun playing it

    Yeah that’s true. I wish people could criticize things while also appreciating them.

    Like, as I said, I have loads of problems with Skyrim. But I also love the game and have literally thousands of hours in it. You can love a game and still have problems with it, but I don’t think people understand that which is why you either get toxic negativity or toxic positivity with any release. Never a healthy middle ground.

    As to your point about not seeing the gripes, my theory is that people had them but were much quieter since the games were so beloved. But as Bethesda’s reputation got worse they felt more confident speaking up. So there were always people that took issue with the games, but it wasn’t until recently that their opinions became so public.


  • I appreciate the info, this was interesting to read through! I had heard a lot of people say that they didn’t think there were any actual takedown requests, so I’m glad to get some actual info there.

    Tbh though this makes your other comment a little harder to understand. So, you knew that the transphobe troll account thing actually happened, yet you treated the original commenter as if he was full of shit.

    Like yeah, as you showed there were a lot of reasons behind the decision. But I think it’s fair to say that this troll was very much one of those reasons, if not a major force in getting all of this rolling to begin with.

    Either way, thank you for the transparency. I was just surprised to see that commenter get so massively downvoted when they’re talking about events that literally happened.
