but bethesda didn't DEVELOP dishonored, they only PUBLISHED it, and yet it was received better than both of the ones you've listed. my point isn't that they don't have a bad track record of published games, but rather that your original statement,

is wrong by these many games:

the list goes on too. you made a really bold claim with no substance to back it up, and all i'm trying to do is prove that the claim was wrong. use facts next time you're trying to make an argument.

ps: evil within would also be on this list but the pc version bombed because of a shitty port, and i felt it was unfair to compare across platforms

pps: i also never brought up the fact that your original quote used the word "published", which also applies to the games they've developed in the same way that a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not always a square. technically they published all of their own games too, so your original statement is even more incorrect, but even ignoring that you're still wrong.

i'm fully aware of the difference, are you trying to claim dishonored was made by them?

ok

while anything is possible, id is more likely just holding back because they don't have much else to show yet, since they just finished up with doom. battlecry studios has also posted new job openings, claiming they're working on a new multiplayer shooter, so that probably means that battlecry is done and they'll be moving onto something new - nothing official yet though.

all anyone can do at this point is speculate until quakecon.

battlecry isn't axed yet, and it was in development by battlecry studios, not id software, so if you're suggesting the game has transitioned kind of like titan did into overwatch, i think you're pretty mistaken. they weren't even on the same engine - battlecry used/uses/will use cryengine, and quake is using id tech 6.

looks a lot like mirror's edge, in a good way.

install steam on the new one and go to Steam > Downloads > Steam Library Folders, and add your old Steam's install folder as a library. it'll automatically pick up all your old games and allow you to play them without transferring. depending on the game you might have to hunt down and copy over save data and settings, though. copying My Documents/My Games is a good way to get most of them, but some store data in AppData and other places.

applications will either run or not run depending on how deeply they're integrated into the OS. if they only install to one folder and only require a few dependencies like DirectX or .NET, they'll probably run flawlessly. however if it's something like an Adobe product where it installs data and preferences into all sorts of different AppData and Windows folders, then it probably won't run without re-installing.

man I love the games their studios make, but fuck do I hate Bethesda as a publisher. they gave half the show to that fucking looney guy from ESO and spent way too long with Legends. they got all of the BGS stuff out of the way at the very beginning, which was some cool stuff but wasn't announced the right way, and they dropped both a great Quake trailer and a great Prey trailer, and then went quiet about both for the rest of the show. not to mention how awful those two guys at the start were.

the only thing they did right this presentation was the Dishonored stuff. definitely doesn't compare to last year, and feels a lot more like what other companies like EA and Ubi are doing.

last year, i was excited about every single thing (except Legends) that they showed off. this year the only newly announced things I'm excited about are the inevitable bug fixes coming to Fallout with VR support, and Quake.

agreed there, calling it an arena shooter was a really bad decision. there was a lot mishandled about doom, but most of it was caused by bethesda as a publisher and not id software as a developer. every part of the game that id touched was good - the engine, singleplayer, and graphics. multiplayer and snapmap were both outsourced, and the beta was mostly a publicity thing from bethesda.

as long as they don't outsource parts of quake it has potential to be really good, and id tech 6 is definitely an engine capable of a high frame rate, fast paced arena shooter.

i'm not disagreeing there, just saying that you should always give something a chance. wait until we have more to look at, probably at QuakeCon.

hype goes both ways. don't get too hyped for a game, and don't get too hyped against a game.

being PC only is a pretty good sign though - it means they didn't see consoles as a good audience for the game, which means it isn't dumbed down at all because of consoles. one of the worst parts of DOOM was that SnapMap was such a great concept, but it was executed poorly because of console limitations. i'm excited to see what the first PC-only game from id since 2004 will end up looking like.

let's be honest, DOOM was universally hated before it launched because the multiplayer had a lot of signs that the game might not be going the right direction, and yet it turned out amazing. let's wait and see. i just hope they learned from it.

dishonored 2 looks good. happy for quake, and fallout 4 being on the vive means they're probably going to push an engine update that fixes high frame rate speedup, which is nice. skyrim remastered could be decent if mods are easily ported over, because fallout 4 brought a lot of great engine improvements.

wanted TES 6 though, but i guess it's too soon for that.

120hz, full competitive support, PC only? discuss.

he got a nerd star somehow. he's even the OP

I really like the MX master, just give it a higher DPI and longer battery
