Their recent games aren't that good anyway. Lets hope that G1 remake will be good otherwise RIP gothic franchise

I count about a dozen words like may, might, possibly, ... in this short article. While I do agree those rumours aren't looking good I think it's a huge step to post this as 'RIP PB'. Again. I mean, if I had a shiny Krugerrand for every time that's been suggested, I'd have a few dozens of shiny Krugerrands more than I have now

We'll see. Thanks for sharing but a less melodramatic approach would have been preferred

Yeah sure, cause "closure of PB doesn't mean anything".

Get reality check

Yeah, please! Where did you read "closure of PB"? Your quotation, not mine....

[Denny]

Get help

[kris.aalst]

Yeah I need help. Not the guy who's been posting nothing but negative comments on the PB forums forever now. Really, you have nothing better to do? I have a couple of thousands of games I dislike on my Steam 'ignore list'. You won't find me whining on their forums for months or years. Get a life. Really, you won't know what hits you and you may even grow to like the world outside of your parents' basement.

I didn't say you don't own the game. I said you don't like it. Which you've confirmed many, many times. So move on. What keeps you here if you dislike the game that much?

I didn't report your 'original topic'. Seems I'm not the only one who tires of your constant negativity.

Bethesda haven't released anything better on past glory of Skyrim.

Ya think? Come on, wasn't Starfield the absolute best game ever? Anyway, what we're writing is called sarcasm.

[Denny]

Why do you write it then when we can talk seriously?

[chakkman]

Sad, but, to be expected... let's be honest, at the latest with Elex 1, you could really see that they had to cut corners everywhere. If the project manager has to do the audio (and you could really hear that it's not his primary profession... pretty amateurish work), then there's definitely a lack of budget.

It's definitely a lot better than some of the stuff people mention which is allegedly much better.

Even if you don't like the gameplay (I don, it just isn't for me), one has to realize that it's a very well done game.

And, to be honest, The Elder Scrolls is pretty overrated. Yes, Skyrim was also well done, but, the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired in my eyes.

Agreed, Chakkman.
