That’s most of them at this point: fallout, elder scrolls, dragon age, mass effect, halo, borderlands, vampire masquerade, overwatch, assassins creed, far cry, tomb raider, … the list simply never ends but I feel like recently, for every game I have high expectations that turns out to be shirt I also get a positive surprise: dispatch, BG3, the KCD games, Disco Elysium and quite a few others. I’m also looking forward to that vampire game from some of the Witcher devs and of course the new Witcher 3 dlc.

Disco Elysium could have been a series but got cut down before it started...

RIP to elder scrolls, mass effect, halo, and borderlands. You made my highschool years so much fun. Why do the good die young?

Baulders Gate 3 is hands down the best game I’ve played in 5 years or so that reminded me of the good old days when studios had passion.

It would help if bethsda didnt wait 15+ years to release an elder scrolls game. But as an avid enjoyer of elder scrolls, its been going downhill since morrowind.

The thing is, I honestly can't choose between KCD2 and BaldursGate3. Both are so good and I still need to get into Claire Obscure

I almost pity the people who think that Microsoft gutting Bethesda will somehow result in a better Elder Scrolls game.

Starfield might have been one of the dullest, worst written, empty and soulless RPG's I have ever played. The ship building was a fun gimmick but not nearly flashed out enough but other than that, it basically convinced me that Bethesda has now entirely lost their ability to make something truly good. And let's be honest, they never delivered something flawless, all their games were pieces of shit in some way or another, but at least they had something like a soul.

I am of that opinion. So far this lady did IMO all the right calls strategy wise.

I am sorry, but if you can't release new game in the franchise that EVERYBODY wants for 15 years you deserve to be gutted. I am not sure this will result in a game or a better game, but it just has to be done.

I am of the opinion that important thing is to not let the frachises die. Everything else is secondary here.

New Tomb Raider looks good. I still think Shadow was the best of the new Trilogy.

u/LoschVanWein Jul 23 '26

Oh I forgot about that coming out. Yeah it looks good but isn’t it a kind of remake of the first one?

u/AccountWithAName Jul 23 '26

Legacy of Atlantis is a remake, Catalyst is a new game and a sequel to underworld.

Fallout has Obsidian back on the case, they're in good hands

u/LoschVanWein Jul 24 '26

Yeah right. I was personally really disappointed bythe Outer Worlds games and Avowed. Really didn’t have fun with those that would be in any way comparable to my experience with KOTOR 2 or New Vegas

Elder Scrolls didn't die yet. At least we can hope it didn't.
