In the case of Oblivion Remastered (not the proper one, the Bethesda one) it seems closer to #2. It has very similar reviews to this screenshot. A lot of people were excited and happy to play it, but as time went on people found that the game was actually moderately bugged and has many progress breaking issues that the devs ignore. I'm assuming that Bethesda released this purely to undermine Skyblivion, but it's clear which dev team cares about what they produce. Side note, the absolute scumbags charge £50 for it. A remaster should never be above £20
I really don't know what people expected with oblivion remastered tbh, its a Bethesda title of course it's broken
I was downvoted for pointing this out.
It's a no brainer, it's a remaster so no new designing, no new story or landscape, just polishing what was expertly crafted many years ago. The problem with the high-end gaming industry is that the publishers and corporate devs take more and more liberties for their benefit, harming others in the process such as:
It seems they're now trying to pass old refreshed games off at full price to capitalmaxx off a new generation, as well as nostalgic returnees.
Yo ho, me hearties. You own it already. "Update" your copy to its current iteration for free. 🤌🏼
I can understand they want some more money but since I already own the game, it is a graphic improving DLC. Should be £10-£15 max.
Meh. It's a remaster. Mostly automated, anyhow. Charging for that barely-half-assed re-re-re-release isn't just greedy AF, it's a slap in our peasant faces with global cost-of-living in the fuckin' stratosphere. You owe it to yourself to spend your finite cash more wisely. These fucks don't need it, and none of the original devs get a cent of it now, anyhow.
But the update is so much more work than a horse armor dlc which is a lot of money for no content.
Does that mean Bethesda actually fixed 95% of their release bugs?
No it just has only moderately more bugs than the orthogonal instead on a lot more.
Did that happen? I bought Oblivion Remastered on release day and had minimal problems with it, it's a Bethesda game so some are to be expected. I've run through it twice now and have had a blast.
