You think that Bethesda paid the people in the audience to cheer?

When they announced how many people were playing and how they'd "upgraded server capacity" and the crowd went wild, I literally groaned inside. I wanted to ask him if he'd actually spoken to any of our EU players.

Americans are always like this, they even do it in Church, nothing to see here.

The screeching of the employees in the first row was srsly the most cringy stuff ever...

On a sidenote, if it wasn't for Doom, ESO trailer and Deathloop, it would be a giant flop for that presentation. People went there hoping to see at least new teaser for TES6 or Starfield and got some *** mobile game and Blades on Switch, that can run full fledged Skyrim already. Imagine the disapointment. Even the new Wolfenstein was kinda "meh".

If I'd been there I would've been cheering for Fallout 76 just to make dudebros angry, even if I didn't like the concept of it as much as I do.

I was watching with several people in Discord voice and we all liked that one guy who was super hyped during the Zenimax presentation. Enthusiasm is fun to see.

You mean the people in the front screaming? They were just wasted.

So was much of the actual presentation... a wasted opportunity.

They weren't employees...Xynode was amongst them as was a few other streamers...sheesh people, someone else actually had a good time and liked what they saw.
Not everything is a dang conspiracy!

Probably and/or they were already on the payroll.

Think it's pretty standard stuff - not just a Bethesda thing.

This is nothing - the whole world is a lie.

Vaz2013

Ah yes, because genuine enthusiasm is impossible and the only people who aren't aboard the hate train are paid to be off it.

As for your response to commander keen; What is wrong with Beth making a new commander keen, and considering the nature of the childrens game it is, why wouldnt they put it on the mobile market?

Nothing to celebrate when ESO is a laggy bug infested dumpster fire. Zos just ignores all the issues and acts like everything is just sunshine and rainbows

Honestly, it’s most likely that the attendees were mostly studio members, studio member friends and families etc... and people had prob had a few drinks since it was evening time.

Or maybe not, but honestly, that amount of support for fallout 76 is ludicrous, turn on that game now, tell me it’s in a good state, there have been weapon duplication glitches, people run around with every OP weapon in the game because the found dev rooms, and because they could be duplicated no-one can prove what weapons are legit or not. I mean seriously, the game is finished, it’s a meme, “it just works”!?

I just can’t fathom how someone can support the disgraceful affair that game is, so much so, I would scream shill too.

I've never played '76 or read much about it because it just doesn't interest me (not a fan of post-apocalyptic wastelands or PvP) but I've heard a lot of people arguing about it and now you've said that I think the answer might be that some people like being able to be stupidly OP in games.

Whenever people have been talking about how bad it is there always seems to be one person (or more than one) saying people just hate it because they don't understand it and don't know how to play it effectively, and now I suspect that's what they mean - finding the dev rooms or other ways to work around the mechanics and make stupidly OP characters.

And yet, ESO is my favorite Elder Scrolls game.

I've played dozens of MMOs and hardly any of them have not been laggy and bug-infested with developers who ignore the players' favorite issues.

If you have ever been in a Cinema with the yanks, then add gaming and high nerd levels anything is possible

I think its great to be honest as the devs get to hear and see peoples enthusiasm and love for their games, where as me I would probably just shed a tear as I sat there quietly but my inner nerd going hyper critical lol

No, but Intel sure as *** paid for too many ads.

Also, theater clapping/cheering/children are why I have steadily decreased my patronage.

The guys who 'yeehaw'd' in the ESO presentation made me laugh, I don't think anyone was paid, it's just ecxitement for something people love. I'd be that person probably if I attended an event like that, the whole atmospehere is celebratory I just finished watching it and I can't help but thinking: ESO community = best community!

Those were mostly staff from ESO itself lol so cringy.

they liked the grindy mobile games no one asked for? the new ips they didn't show any gameplay for? the big old ip's they didnt show any gameplay for? the br for fallout 76 (rofl)?

Ixilith

No matter how p2w something is considered

No matter what bugs are going on.

No matter the server stability.

No matter the lack of content.

There will be people trying to play it. They will stick at it and “hype” it up. People were still hyping anthem even after they couldn’t even get the playerbase to make a single group lol.

Yes I do believe fallout 76 has some hardcore fans out there that make this stuff sound 100000% better then it really is to people lmfao

I doubt their audience was paid, It look worse then booing if anyone admitted they were paid or if this got proven true. I think just genuinely there are people out there who play these games and get all hyped about them.

Well , compared to some other mmos ESO is rainbow and sunshine indeed. Could be worse could be better.

I honestly thought they were trolling us with that mobile game lol

As much as I dislike both game, I don't think so. There are people who like certain things other don't.

To each their own, I guess.

When they were discussing eso and fallout76, I was screaming in the inside, because I was at work when bethlive was on.

But they didnt even say anything new about ESO, they shopwed another cinematic (which looked cool, I loved it) and then revealed the name of 2 already announced DLCs...

Thats it, we didnt even get any real information about the DLCs, other than "Yeah, come to our next con we might tell you more"

what do you expect? did you want them to lay out exactly what happens? chill, we'll be getting more information about Scalebreaker at Doomcon(Quakecon) in a little over a month because that is the next step in the Season of the Dragon and is a Q3 release.

I mean... seriously, I cant imagine that there are really people who still cheer for Fallout 76 or Elder Scrolls Blades...

And that new Mobile game? I honestly thought I accidently took skooma when I saw that one xD

Ultra Fans would still cheer for both. I mean I would never think that they pay people for cheering, but who knows.

I have played both games, but Fallout 76 struggled at the beginning with a lot of bugs for multiplayer. As I was not be able to play with my friends together because of issues, that game became a "book in the shelf" that I don't read anymore ("dustkeeper"). Rarely I login to just shoot a bit with the gattling laser and that's it. Some ultra fans still like that game a lot and claim level after level and enjoy it, so it seems to be not totally worse.

Elder Scrolls Blades is a nice in-between-game if you're sitting in the bus or train on your way to work. I can play some quests, open some chests and build new houses. At the beginning this game was a bit harder, because repair-costs were high and silver-chests (which you get a lot) took 3 hours to open (now only 1 hour). But as they fixed it and implemented some new quests, it got a bit more interesting. From my point of view it's still not a game to play as a "full game" (hour after hour), because it can be boring fast with the same quests over and over. But so far I didn't need to pay any money as I earned enough gems in that game to buy the things i needed/wanted myself. So therefore: As a free game it's nice for in-between-sessions.

For me Elder Scrolls Online is still the most fascinating and I am happy to be part of it and of the community. I would cheer for this game!

I've never clapped at a movie, or ever seen anyone ever do that.

This one can occasionally, when the moment is right, produce a metal level scream that once frightened off four people robbing my neighbour yes.

Doubtful. It's a self-selected crowd of fanboys (not necessarily negative), of course they are going to cheer. Especially streamers and such in the first row who depend on Bethesda's success. Nobody needs to get paid explicitly just because interests converge.

But the Bethesda-hate-train is still going strong, so such conspiracy theories are to be expected.

Speaking as an American, the last movie I saw where the audience actually clapped was during the last Fast and The Furious movie
