Gamer outrage is getting a bit tiresome...
Just looking at the threads in this forum, it has made me realize how annoying it can be sometimes when I just see all this negativity without merit or thought. Let me clarify that yes, the game has its issues and I'm holding off myself until it is on sale (not waiting on that 10%, much lower), but Christ. It feels like some people in here just had their dogs butchered right in front of them. This whole "gamer outage" mentality just gets tiring after awhile.

I thought games were supposed to be a thing that people played to be happy, but obviously, this isn't the case.

And before you say something, no, I'm not having a woke mentality or anything of that nature. I could care less about that sort of mindset. I'm just saying some of the logic here is inherently flawed or some people just need to calm down. There are valid complaints, I'm not defending Bethesda (who is most likely the main culprit in all of this), Microsoft, or iD.

With that, we'll see where this thread goes. :sans:

EDIT: I am not saying opinions against the game are bad. You need a variety of opinions to figure out what a game is like. I'm more focused on the people that contribute nothing other than pure rage. I get it that there are those who do it for the clown awards, and those are just as bad as they can fool people into thinking there are issues that are not there in the first place.

I'm also not so bothered by this that it is ruining my life. Trust me, I have things outside of this that are more concerning (That's not a "I'm better than you" quip, just putting things in perspective). I don't get so involved in gaming discussions now because of the reasons I've given.

Gamers don't play games anymore, they watch youtube hate mongers play games while rats desiccate on their nightstands. The only game they play is a hateful war against anyone not like themselves. See Yasuke and the myriad "we wuz" BS they gleefully post.
game is mid player numbers will reflect this. also 80EU for this? nah gamepass is the best choice for this game but this game is a flop going by player numbers and yes steam stats still reflect success even with gamepass as you can see wiith other games that launched on gamepass oblivion is one of them
I have 9 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ consoles and almost 300 games on steam, I'm not paying 70 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dollars for a game that crashes all the time. Not only that but I think Marty Stratton is a narcissistic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I might buy the game, when it falls under 20 dollars

or simply forgot how to play games. I mean, you can't nowadays play a game before watching 20x YTs on how to have the best start, best class, best items, best quest... because we've become this.

And then you said - Jim said hate on this, then we all must hate on this forgo any reasoning, thinking or trying it for myself, and then being able to makeup my own mind about it. lol.
Steam forums are always truly awful. I would love to see threads that actually talk about the game and the things that are in the game instead of the 57th "raytracing is required??" or "this game is a FLOP" thread but apparently that is too much to ask for.

Again, I do agree that the game has its issues, and certainly the Game Pass argument is valid. It feels like Microsoft tries to get these games out as quickly as possible just to keep those subscriptions up, even though I would think, in reality, they're losing money. I do feel that the Oblivion remaster had a better outing compared to the Dark Ages because of the shadow drop and the fact that that was something people ACTUALLY wanted. This, however, did turn off a lot of fans and those who got the premium version, they were immediately turned off when the game didn't launch when it was said to be (I will say the perk of being able to play the game two days early seems pointless for this reason, it should have been a week).

I've played quite a bit now and it hasn't crashed once. Hasn't stuttered once. Hasn't done anything uncool. I get almost 200 fps in all situations. Game is smooth as butter. One of the best performing games in a long time.

Sometimes a game comes out and your PC can't handle it. Not a reason to cry like a baby. Grow up, kiddo. Show some class.

Forego any reasoning and then tell everyone who calls them out they're coping. When their trash positions get defeated entirely they simply move on to the next thing to be outraged about.

Did you know Avowed is turning children gay with it's bright color pallet? These geniuses are experts in color theory now.

Yes, it is too much to ask for. These SJWs will not stop until they make everyone as miserable as they are themselves.

So you're just slandering their game because you don't like the company. Got it. You're pretty uncool. Chill out some, bro. Life is good. Even if you can't play one game. It'll be alright.

It's called having standards, you should try it sometime.

Hey LIGMA, this company is trash and has been trash since they slandered and fired Mick Gordon.
