You think the Fallout 4 remaster would have done it as well.

I’m thinking we get AI-slopped remastered New Vegas and/or Fallout 3 next.

I sold mine last week, so those numbers are off a little.

No, you’re pretty much spot on.

They also spoke a lot about CAGRs (Compound Annual Growth Rate) and MAUs, demonstrating how passionate they were about making cash a great game.

Highguard’s leadership and at least one of their former devs said they were making this game in order to line their pockets.

They really never mentioned wanting to make a great game because they love these type of games.

It was they want a bigger piece of the pie and these games generate lots of revenue.

The whole thing was rigged to fail. There appears to have been almost zero outside input during the development. All the feedback they got were from internal sources or carefully vetted content creators - ones that rarely say anything bad about a game.

They created an echo fart-sniffing chamber.

They released a few updates almost right away which were received positively but it doesn’t appear that the company had the money to ride out a few months of poor microtransactions.

No open beta, no Early Access. They disappeared from social media right after the trailer dropped then, when they returned, all they did was whine.

Thousands of players quit and uninstalled before finishing the required tutorial.

I’m sure a lot of the creatives and devs are capable of creating great things. Management created an environment of groupthink, not of questioning and innovation.

Highguard is free to play and nobody is complaining that it turns into pay to win.

It’s just not a good game and the trailer did nothing to set it apart. There are lots if good breakdowns but it all comes down to that it’s just not good.

It started off with almost 100K concurrent players and then dropped to 37K in 24 hours. It’s been sitting at just 2K since.

Nah. It’ll be an online hero shooter.

Subscribed! I didn’t know I needed it.

More comfort than before. Thank you, kind internet stranger.

For a brief moment, I had hope. Then, poof, it was gone.

I wouldn’t say “very different.” It’s just going to be worse.

The Sims: Wahhabi Pack. Mandatory DLC featuring burqas, public executions, and owning US politicians.

Malcolm Jamal-Warner passed away recently. Drowned while on vacation.

For me, it’s become like the Madden series. That is, it’s just not fun anymore. It looks and sounds great but that is it.

Especially compared to Forza Horizon. Forza Horizon 3 and 5 are just fun to play and feel more interactive.

Lovecraftian doctor simulator? I guess I’ll read the article. My interest is piqued.

They’re going to end up creating a special controller that only works with Apple tech and it’s going to cost US$600. Before they release a single game.

It’s a race between Star Citizen and Elder Scrolls 6 at this point to see which drops first.

Thong customization.

Females characters who live independently.

No. Oblivion remastered. Then Skyrim Special Oblivion Remastered Anniversary Edition. Then Starfield Remastered.

That’s what I’m thinking as well.

Why remaster Oblivion now? Why not wait after Elder Scrolls VI? I’m sure that’ll be released this century.

What do giant radishes have to do with anything?

They do this because it works. There are plenty of influencers and wannabe pro gamers idiots who will pay for early access.

They’ll have to rerelease Stronghold like 5 or 6 more times, then they’ll be close to Skyrim.

Yo ho ho.

I’ve downloaded a bunch of dice skins and subclasses. I’ve yet to actually finish the game bc I keep changing mods.

I like the mystic class I just played. Just started a new one with an Astral Weaver.

I’m using party size mod and double xp mod but upped the difficulty and installed a mod that ups enemy stats if the party exceeds 5 people.

I’ve actually got over a dozen mods installed - mostly QoL mods and cosmetic.

Auto-correct or Freudian slip?

Either way, I’ve assed “re-ass” to my vocabulary list.

I’m sure that this will result in some highly innovative and top notch updates. Star Citizen will surely be the greatest game ever. One day. After the last star has blinked out of existence.

I really want to like AC 3 but I just can’t. I’m a big history nerd and it kinda upsets me that I don’t like the game.

I’ve bought Origins and Odyssey. I’ve started Origins a couple of times and haven’t started Odyssey. I keep getting distracted by new games. My entire library is like that. Started and unfinished or waiting to start.

I might have to buy it for the PC now. I’ve been content playing it on my PS5, but this is literally game changing and worth the investment.

Oh my god. Bethesda is Skynet!

Single bladed French style fans

TLDR: Some people need to be touched by blades of not grass.

I just bought SAO Fatal Bullet for XBox and played it for 3-4 hours until I basically fell asleep at 6am with the controller in my hand.

After I drag my sorry self to the bathroom and put my laundry away, I’m going back in.

Is it the best game ever? No but it’s engaging enough so far that I want to keep playing and see what else it has to offer

Cortana did nothing wrong…well in the 3-4 episodes I watched.

I really wanted to like it but I just couldn’t.

Embracer really being on the nose here. They should really change their name to Triple E.

Just about every video that pops up on my feed with a title like that or “is this ________ now?” gets “not interested” or “don’t recommend channel” clicked.

I don’t care if the content is good. The fact is that we do judge books by their covers - that’s the business model.
