No thanks, already got Special Edition, and even that keeps crashing with memory exceptions left and right without mods. And no my system isn't an issue because every other game and Fallout 4 runs fine. I had better luck running Classic Skyrim for 4-5+ hours without a restart with a ton of mods installed (and lots of stress and effort from my end). Why I am not running that instead you may ask? Micro-stutter that's impossible to get rid of.
All that time since the last Fallout 4 DLC release... It better amount to Unreal Engine 4 levels in the next TES iteration. Which is very unlikely to happen, this is the new BGS we are talking about.
They're putting minimum amount of money to to basically print more. That's fine, what I'm not okay with is them not being able to ditch the old engine. They do want to use the same unified engine for all of their titles, but that's going to take them too long. Too little too late. Plus, never believe Todd's Little Lies. (TM) Meh
I love their sandbox, but it is completely ruined and un-immersive when the game engine takes a dump, falls over its side and sucks its thumb. If it wasn't for free mods and author's hard labor to bandaid engine bugs, I wouldn't buy another of their games. Period.
Bethesda has 1 upped them by selling the same literal game 3 dam times now with this release. Way to make em look like amateurs!! :roll:
No in all fairness they should have bundled this for free in collab with Rift and Vive, if they really wanted to kickstart their userbase. This? Too little too late and way too costly. Its SKYRIM, we've seen it by now, geez
some comment make me laugh .... ok i paid 19chf for Skyrim original in 2014 .... (discount)
i got Legendary edition for free via Steam (i don't remember why tho)
bethesda gave me Skyrim SE for free (not that i want it .... Vanilla with the right mod is enough, well SE is nothing more than vanilla with a few of the idea the modding community implemented )
i was playing Skyrim, for a little more than a year, in VR with a Shinecon VR 2.0 using a Nokia 5, a LEAP and Trinus (ok 720p is not optimal, tested with 1080p : good enough .... waiting to test with a 1440p smartphone later, although gyro-mouse and the LEAP control are fun, a X-One pad does also the trick and iirc i could even use the VIVE/Oculus Controllers ) oh looks like i spared 59.99$ .... but it's another case of "the community does better than them"
but i'd say : not bad for a game from 2011 that look sometime better than recent AAA release (modded ofc .... and Vanilla the SE does not count) just don't trust bethesda do do things correctly: the community will correct that
