Bethesda tries to make paid mods a thing, everyone hates it. Bethesda when they do it again and again the community hates it:


+1 for seamless co-op. Since I first tried it, I swore off the native co-op, it’s honestly in a league of its own.



They delay the PC release in hopes that you’ll buy a PS5 to play the sequel. I doubt it’s a very effective strategy, though.


I mean, I don’t think they’re any slower to release new games than anyone else. I also don’t think the next Spider-Man or whatever is going to come out any slower because of ports either, since I think a different studio handles most of the porting work, I don’t know about remasters, though. Like this year, they’re releasing 5 new games, and they usually release at least 3 a year. Could they release more? Maybe, but games take longer to make than ever before.


Not sure how that relates to games being ported to PC.


It matters for most, and if it doesn’t matter, then you would probably just buy it regardless. It’s always additional content, and probably worth it to you if its cost might as well be 0.


I don’t understand the thoughts of Sony executives, but I guess I’m just not exec material. This will only lead to a decrease in sales, probably a substantial amount, both from people being literally unable to play it, and also from people now refusing to buy it. So what, pray tell, is the advantage to it? Do they think they’ll get more back from selling people’s data than they’ll have lost in sales?


I’m fine with games coming out ‘more frequently’, so long as it’s because they have the same development time but are staggered. Like Witcher coming out mid development of Cyberpunk, meaning the next Cyberpunk will come out mid development of the next Witcher, etc.


Cool. Hope it has mod support unlike Forza, or at least doesn’t prohibit it. VR would be nice as well since the only options for racers in VR are sims, or F1.




Valve don’t usually do “easy cash grabs” though, and while I seriously doubt it’ll be able to meet the insane expectations people have for it, I doubt it’ll be shit.


Steam basically IS PC gaming, and probably has more active users than Xbox or Playstation, maybe even combined. There’s no way it’s worth any less than Activison Blizzard


Sure, let them think it works perfectly and then have them complain to Valve when they don’t even have the option to play the MP mode, great idea.


Kinda sick of the live action adaptations, the OP show is good but it also made more sense since there was already an animated version.


I mean, for passengers I think it could be cool, I doubt anyone sane would say use it while you yourself are driving.


It might make Valve unlikely to make another game and a lot of people, including myself, would be hugely disappointed but I don’t think it would have any major negative effects beyond those two.



The more competition Sims has, the better. Maybe EA will actually try and innovate… HAHA. I’ve been keeping an eye on Paralives and Life By You, and there are a couple others coming as well, I think. It’ll be a good time to be a life sim fan in the next couple years.


It’s also a lot better than there being no demo at all, which too many games are guilty of.

EDIT: meant to reply to another comment, whoops.


As others have said, you don’t need to play the old ones, and I doubt Sony will bring them to PC, so your best bet is probably emulation if you really wanna play them.


For sure. Not sure which I’d say is more accessible between CK3 and Stellaris, but both are vastly more accessible than CK2 and EU4.


I think Valve likes to wait until the technology has become available for the sequel to be a massive improvement in every aspect, which I can respect.




Seems to be the in thing for companies to destroy any and all goodwill they have.





I feel like all the people who would’ve been willing to start big modding projects left years ago…


I’ve heard some people say it’s a decent game but I’m not sure if I could bring myself to play it since it seems to have almost satirical levels of sexualization, which I find kinda off-putting.



One of my favourite games to have kernel level anticheat is Helldivers 2, and I think it’s definitely caused a few issues for me.


I mean, perhaps with some video games, but I think it’s unlikely for Fallout, of all things.



Of course it won’t, as going outside of the US would require them to develop a lot of new high quality lore, something I think Bethesda is wholly incapable of.


Good lord, could you imagine a Fallout or TES entry with BG3 quality? It’d probably be one of the best selling games of all time.


Huh. My memory must be going, I swore it was one of the previous ones, well, thanks for enlightening me.


I remember that, but is there anything like that in FO4? I’m genuinely curious because I haven’t played all the dlcs.
