Maybe because I said I hadn’t seen anything for the game other than the announcement?


I went down a rabbit hole of emulation last year. I got PCSX2 and tons of games like Ratchet & Clank, Tak 1-3, Jak 1-X, the Sly series, Spider-Man 2, and so many others. I spent a good month and a half just playing old PS2 games and I had an absolute blast


I enjoyed the first one, which is a shame because it released like right before the evidence and allegations came out about Roiland, so it left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.

I thought the game was fun and hilarious (I have an immature sense of humor), and it had enough random bullshit for you to find and enjoy that I didn’t care about the low points of the game. Being able to watch three full B-movies from the 80s-90s was awesome imo, and I absolutely loved finding the RedLetterMedia Easter egg. Then it turns out he’s a piece of shit hitting on minors and teens.

I want to play this second one, even though I’ve seen literally nothing for it other than it was coming out at some point. But at the same time, I’m hesitant because Roiland kinda fucking sucks.


Remember Gamefly?

Gamepass wasn’t a bad idea, and it was actually pretty cool when it first came out. It was basically Microsoft’s Gamefly.



They at least fixed the water walking in Oblivion. You could just look down to start swimming.

But yeah, I did that to a character or two as well. I think one time I thought a permanent levitation spell would be the tits. Then I found out about how slow it is.

ETA: my headcanon is that all the janky glitches and trucks pipe pull off in their respective playthrough are all actually canon as well. It would make sense too, because there are multiple instances of characters figuring out they’re in some sort of dream/simulation/thing, and Tiber Septim becoming a god, and the general fragility of their reality.


Or you could do “soul trap on self” combined with a “fortify skill” effect

Ralen Hlaalo manor. That house is awesome to use as a player home. You can drop stuff around to decorate, use any of the containers as storage, and it’s just a nice big house.



FUCK. Now that’s some good shit.

This is the Kain game I played when I was a kid. The PS2 I got just happened to have a copy, so I gave it a shot one time. Holy shit, it’s like playing through a high-budget period-fantasy movie. The voice acting goes insanely hard, the story is wild and twisted, and the locations are dark and grim; even when they’re brightly lit.


Very little QoL, but an absolutely fucking massive map expansion and all the quests that comes with it. They just released the latest bit they finished last spring. It greatly expands all the major questlines and guilds and adds a couple more, introduces new ways of fast travel like water striders, new enemies and creatures, so many new towns with NPCs and their own dialog. It’s a lot. But I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Elder Scrolls regardless.

It’s a project that’s been in production since a few weeks before Morrowind even released (but that’s more just a fun fact). It’s been worked on off-and-on over time, but really picked up speed a few years ago when Morrowind started becoming popular again.

This video explains pretty much the entire thing.


It is, but just take it slow. I’d suggest the Tamriel Rebuilt mod(s), but I also want you to experience the game as vanilla as possible.


I’m sorry, but imo Portuguese sounds like Italian Spanish.


Not really. I haven’t played in a long time, but I’d say to keep storage like freight next to your production rooms. And if you’re trying to be efficient, don’t get cutesy and put elevators in random spots; stack them in columns. It makes settlers able to move around much more quickly.

Keep people with decent stats, armor, and weapons stationed at your vault door. Any attacks will be quickly dealt with and you won’t have to worry about anything. The last time I played, I had someone with max stats and power armor, along with a max-stat Preston, with a fatman and a rocket launcher.


It’s a very limited radio though. Each station only has a few songs. At least that’s how it was in 2. I just remember hearing a lot of the same songs each time I opened the music app in-game.

I prefer the game world in the second game though. Chicago is awesome, but I kinda prefer San Francisco.


It does. I tried it just a couple months ago.

The only mod I had was one to make the cloth physics act normally. For some reason on PC they’re very static/stuttery looking.


The co-op missions in Unity were honestly some of the most fun I’ve had playing AC. A more full-length game of that would’ve been AWESOME. Like the story could be co-op (or at least mostly) 1-4 players, and you build up your own “local” guild of Assassins.

Basically bring back all the old guild mechanics from Brotherhood-Syndicate like sending other assassins out on missions and contracts.



I keep rereading the title because you say it doesn’t make sense. It makes complete sense. I think you just need to work on your comprehension skills.


I didn’t play the second game.

Why does it look like Fable now? And they all have actual clothes now? Weren’t they wearing nets and loincloths before?


Imo it’s not that hard to understand.

There’s a company that created some technology that Hayao Miyazaki hates, and that company is going to release a game.

It’s not that hard.

Is reading comprehension really just circling the damn drain at this point? Like yeah I’ve seen some article titles that absolutely do not make sense; this isn’t one of those.




Ngl I loved my first V. She had pink hair and lipstick, and I loved rocking those swishy track jackets and fedoras.

Once I found a bright pink Arch, that was it. I tried to carry that thing with me through the entire game.


My suggestion would be to play the “normal” version with anticheat


As of 2010 according to your link. And that was before it went digital/backwards compatible on Xbox One with a whole announcement.

I know I bought it for my One as soon as I could back in 2018. And I bought it at least one other time since, when I got my PC.


Idk, there’s the loading screen tips, one in particular says “if you’re entering a new or strange area, be sure to walk to conserve fatigue” or something along those lines.

Maybe an NPC tells you in Seyda Neen?


Lol that’s not the gotcha he thinks it is.

So many, and I mean thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of players/Elder Scrolls fans would give up their left testicle just for a true Morrowind remaster. Like honestly, so many people have a love and fondness for that game, even if it wasn’t their first ES title, that I truly believe almost everyone would tell him he’s wrong.


Morrowind Online is one I still have to try. I fucking love Tamriel Rebuilt, and I’ve only explored a small fraction of the mainland.


Damn, that makes all that early risque marketing make sense now.

Damn.


I watched Charlie play through the first episode, and within the first 5 or so minutes of the game there’s full-frontal with dick and balls. He had to censor his game of course, but you know it’s there.


I feel like Halo could be equated to like “early Federation” from Star Trek (I’m not a Trekkie, but I know some things).

Like how humanity discovers FTL space travel and the rest of the galaxy opens up to them and we meet a technologically superior faction of advanced alien races. That’s probably where the similarities end, but it does paint a slightly hopeful light on humanity’s future, even if it is entirely fiction.


I don’t know who downvoted this one lol. You can’t not like Halo, it’s just ingrained into human DNA at this point imo



I didn’t say they needed to be big. The Elder Scrolls games aren’t particularly huge, yet people will continue to play saves for hundreds of hours.

And I know Outer Worlds wasn’t a massive open world, but there were different areas you could explore. Just a shame there wasn’t that much to explore in said areas.


Firefight is what I try to stick to. I’ve been trying to get the Gravetender mission done but I can’t because anytime I make an open Floodfight game, people will stick around for all of maybe 20 minutes and then just leave.


I like open world games that let you continue to explore and do things after the main story. If you enjoyed the game, you can keep going to get some more out of it. If you’re done, then you’re done and you don’t need to continue to interact with the world.


I played one online match of Halo 3 snipers the other week and it lasted all of 3-4 minutes because the other team just knew exactly where everything was. It was a little ridiculous tbh. Like I got maybe 2 kills the entire match and they just kept one- and two-shotting us the whole time. It just didn’t feel fair or fun, and this was in social mathmaking.



I mean the game is over a year old now. I know there’s a multiplayer mode, but I don’t think most people are getting this game for that.



How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift?
So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn't matter if it's first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it's just comfortable to me. However I've noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to "give out" over the course of a couple months. For instance I'll be pushing it forward all the way, but it won't register for some reason and my character will only move a little bit. Sometimes wiggling it a bit will fix it, sometimes it doesn't. And it's not like I'm squeezing the hell out of the controller or mashing the stick constantly; in fact it's made me try to be more delicate with my controllers, even though I'm just playing the games normally. Is it just how controllers are, or am I just getting the shit end of the stick?
