Skyrim Special Edition

[Lemming42]

So is there any reason at all to play this if you already have a heavily modded vanilla installation?

If your build is stable I would imagine not. I think the biggest deal is going to a 64bit client which I guess will improve stability for a heavily modded game. But how many mods are going to be updated anyway?

Can someone please explain why is everyone so hyped for a bunch of graphical tweaks? This is the most jewish thing I've ever seen.

for free why not ?

Believe me, a lot of consolitis suffering people will buy this for their PS4

Looks damn good and surprisingly good overview

I see that and all I can think of is turning that junk into dwarven ingots and grind Smithing by crafting dwarven gear.

Someone count how many times that guy says "Skyrim Special Edition" in that video above.

Not for quite some time, I imagine.

You'll have to wait till Script Extender is ported. Then mod creators have to awaken and port all their stuff if they still care. I imagine recent big mods like Enderal would be ported soon.

Can't imagine vanilla modless Skyrim can be interesting to anyone today apart from checking out the graphics. Maybe those who got it on one of those -95% sales should get to playing it now. But in general that demographic who loved Skyrim on release probably switched to Witcher 3 as, frankly, better casual open world beautiful RPG.

True. The beginning of that video was also excruciatingly boring, so I stopped watching it quickly. Then again, there probably isn't much to say about a graphics overhaul.

I'm downloading it at the moment and will have at least a short glimpse for myself.

I see that and all I can think of is modding my own treasure vault and doing this:

Not if you have any alternative in any case.

There's a number of mods already available @ the nexus.

It's impressive how much of these youtubers have Skyrim Special Edition and have made videos for it, when you consider that fucking game journalists are forbidden to approach the game still. Impressive.

They're the new "journalists". Impressionable and eager to get free shit before everyone else so they can bump up their viewer count - they will never badmouth a company if they just keep sending them stuff before everyone else, or just in time to get ahead of that viewer count. It's a surer deal for publishers than the (admittedly shitty) usual review outlets. These days, they reach a wider audience too, because people can't be bothered to click or read more than a couple of sentences.

Yes it is possible to decline even further. Decline knows no limits.

SkyUI doesn't work tho.

It's sure as hell a lot better to click on a random video of someone playing the actual game than read some journalist impression of it.

Also what you say doesn't make much sense, because I'm sure it's a lot more risk to have your game streamed for hours with all potential flaws and bugs being exposed than having a bunch of profeshunal reviews with hypespeak and only select screenshots and clips being shown.

I don't know, impressionable 21 year old Youtube hyperactive loudmouth gamer personality #105 isn't really my cup of tea at all. It's all shit, but I was illustrating a point about their earlier access to stuff compared to standard shitty review outlets.

 

[Excidium II]

You made a dumb point

 

[HoboForEternity]

most youtubers are corporate shills

 

[Excidium II]

Who gives a fuck, do you give them any consideration?

 

[RK47]

yes

 

[Excidium II]

He did say most.

Steam reviews say it all. Yet modders and players will still prioritize the "special" edition over the legendary one even though it looks roughly the same, it presents mere graphical tweaks and runs like crap, for the sole reason of being the latest thing. I hate people.
