Skyrim was anticipated in portable form, regardless of age. But has BOTW's open world extravaganza (with Thor style lightning strikes!) taken the air out of Skyrim's Sales Windwaker style?? You can't climb in Skyrim! I'm not sure I want to play Skyrim anymore after BOTW.

seriously, Skyrim has been out for years and everyone who wants to play it has already played it through and through
what's the appeal about playing the same game all over again? is there any particular addition to the game or is it just a dumb port?
Honestly I am a huge Skyrim fan but I just don't see the appeal. Add some exclusive features and quests and it could be a system seller to a small extent. Make it a dumb port and you won't be getting a lot of hype.

Who even gives a shit about skyrim anymore. It's a really bad game by todays standards honestly...I can't stand the combat even with heavy modding to try improve it.

It's pretty much just tradition to shove skyrim onto everything now.

Skyrim was anticipated in portable form, regardless of age.
It was? If there were anticipaters (anticipationers? anticipients?), I would think they've played that years ago on laptops. :unsure:

Either way, there's good news and bad news on this situation. The good news is that skyrim currently has a release date of fall 2017. By that time most gamers will have played Zelda enough to give other open world games a chance.
The bad news is that by that time the smach z should be released. Which means that those who really want to play skyrim on the go (without laptops) will probably just play their steam version (with all their achievements and/or mods) on the move. Or any of the zillion other games available on PC.

I was going to say something in the lines of "the devs don't care so much about sales but as to what problems they might face when porting to the console", but that doesn't explain the late release date. :unsure:

    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh boy Massdrop has $1100 IEMs. Want, but not at that price lmao. https://drop.com/buy/campfire-audio-andromeda-emerald-sea-iem
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?

    you mean generally, how does the concept work?

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Two good videos from ElectroBOOM that touch on the subject:

    Wow I can't believe I've been watching ElectroBOOM for that long. I remember when that first video came out lol

    @Sicklyboy, i think wire chargers are more practical
