Morrowind and New Vegas definetly my favourite. Fallout 3 was pretty bad considering fallout 1,2. But NV saved it.
Im really worried for Morrowind remaster, they would have to do it right without adding fast travel and map directions and i just dont see that happening in 2025.
Absolutely loving this, playing as much as i can since early access. Its a pretty big jump from 3, last one i played, especially in terms of car customisation.
Also pretty glad it doesnt replace GT7, its a whole other game, both amazing in their own right!
@Ilyn Ye, but then they would add fast travel and quest markers, completely killing what made Morrowind so awesome. Acrualky having to figure out ***** for yourself? Cant have that for modern audience.
> In other words, games like Breath of the Wild, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Tears of the Kingdom run at 1080p120 and/or 4K60 on the Switch 2. That appears to be the case for Kirby and Zelda.
Thats not great news, I didnt play this “season” yet, but tge game was already pretty slow. Especially in the endgame, +movement speed on boots were absolute must-have.
Im gonna say it again, i wouldnt mind if games costed 100$ if it ment there would never be any microtransactions and the games would be full on release with DLCs only being witcher 3 quality.
I mean great, games are 70$, but every game has super dooper edition with added ***** + early access. Wasnt Outlaws best edition like 120$?
@ChrisDeku i follow videogames quite a lot. Its my hobby.
You can see this trend where game does well, but its not enough for the studio to the point where we see layoff more and more common. The stock didnt move in a favorable direction either, which is weird after sutch a success.
I find that interesting too.
To me microtransactions are way too dangerous. I can count games where they were “ok” on the fingers of one hand. While theres hundreds of games where they decracted from the quality of the game.
Cant speak for Shadows, as I didnt play it long enough. You were right on that one, definetly not a game for me :/
@RiverGenie This is very surreal conversation for me, i have to admit.
By your logic we can have drugs in schools, since you dont have to buy em.
Do you at least agree that despite the fact that you personally dont mind, these microtransactions dont add anything to the game and shouldnt be in a game thats already full price?
@RiverGenie Wow, never thought id see a Ubisheep so brainwashed to actually defend microtransactions.
The problem is tjat the devs have an incentive to design the game in a way thats so tedious you want to buy microtransactions, even if youre too blind to realize it.
@heavyartillery56 I feel like youre half right, steam is much smaller portion of players for Shadows than it was for Veilguard. Due to the ubi subscription. More players play AC on console. Dragon Age was always more PC game.
Also credit where credit is due, despite the pushsquare always following the narrative with these AAA games, at least they report on it when these games fail to meet the sales. That doesnt happen on every media.”
Personally i also doubt it will meet thr huge Ubis expectations, despite how well it mitht do in the eyes of fanboys. But well see.
Why does a game from the hood has to have a black guy? Plenty of white guys in the hood. Also of you asked me a year ago id tell you a game from feudal japan has to have a japanese samurai, aparently thinking thst makes me racist.
I was also thinking about Ripley(my all time favourite character) few weeks back. And i do nt think its todays culture. Both Ripley and Sarah Connor are well written, with flaws and limitations. Which makes them interesting. Theyre not these mary sues that are instantly best at everything (see Rey from star wars). Thats what people hate.
There can be female, well written characters today too, again Split Fiction for example, and everybody loves those. Both flawed, yet interesting characters.
@Uromastryx Ye but, and please correct me if im wrong, Yasuke is a real historical figure.
The lady you get to defile is also historical figure.
The emperors armor you got to steal as preorder bonus is also real.
And its based in a real part of Japan.
I dont think people would have a problem playing as an eskymo if these things werent true. Its disrespect to history thst people, mostly japanese, have a problem with.
I dont hear anyone complaining about playing as hispanic(?) lady in Split Fiction.
@DennisReynolds In that case vocal minorities are best to be ignored
@DennisReynolds Well i dont think either are disrespectful, but than again im not japanese. I didnt play anything beyond black flag, but the reason why shadows is held at higher standart than AC2 is that ezio was a fictional character.
Also idk where youre getting a scifi, AC is a “ historical action-adventure video game series” by Ubis own definition.
@DennisReynolds How bout the fact that you get to romantice the dudes wife, whos known in japan for being honorable and faithful?
Japanese also didnt like that you can destroy real life shrines. Im kinda 50/50 on that. On one hand its just a game, on the other hand flight simulator doesnt let you hit the towers.
Either way, theres plenty of disrespect that a japanese person can find in this game.
@EfYI Damn, thats good that you like it. I tried it on PC and it just wasnt for me.
I dont mind diversity if its done right, this just wasnt in my opinion. Theres definetly some racist bigots that hate the game just to hate it, but I think most people are just tired of being told theyre racists even tho they have valid criticism. And i think criticising Veilguard for bad writing and cringy dialog is valid.
Its a 3/10 dragon age for me and 4/10 rpg. With so many great games coming out lately i simply dont have time for sutch a game.
Dont let mine, or anyone elses, opinion to detract from your enjoyment tho.
@naruball So it didnt make enough money to justify its existence. I dont know what other definition of “tanked” you need.
It doesnt matter how many people watched it or what reviews does it get. What matters is if it makes money.
Thats exactly what im saying about shadows, it may be good, but unless it sells the crazy ammount of copies ubisoft needs, it will be a failirue for them.

Re: Beloved Ex-PlayStation Boss Believes $70, $80 Games Are a Steal

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
Gotta have good TV, otherwise its pretty pointless so far.
I have to say im honestly surprised by the ammount of PRO enhanced games tho, i didnt expect this many.
All in all, im not regretting my buy, but its definetly not must-have.

I find the video they made very entitled and in extremely bad taste.
I wouldnt buy the game just based on that.

Re: Talking Point: What Do We Actually Want from the Oblivion Remake?
The thing people didnt like the most at the time, the stupid npc conversations, kinda became a meme today so i would like to keep it.
My personal gripe is the level scaling, so at the end game you can see common bandits with daedra and glass gear. Im not sure how to fix that tho.
More voice actors would also be nice.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Broke PS Store Sales Records for Ubisoft
@RiverGenie Yea i dont think we will agree.
To me microtransactions are way too dangerous. I can count games where they were “ok” on the fingers of one hand. While theres hundreds of games where they decracted from the quality of the game.
Cant speak for Shadows, as I didnt play it long enough. You were right on that one, definetly not a game for me :/
Anyway no hard feelings from my side either!

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows (PS5) - Striking Open World RPG Is a Real Cut Above
@DennisReynolds I guess I just have a bit more optimistic view of the world.
Also if that was true, why didnt San Andreas fall under the same scrutiny? If its all just black guy main lead.
