Mamoulian War Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 In the grim darkness of the very near future, there are only live services. There is still GOG, and thousands over thousands of hours of games available with no online component. Enough stuff to fill my hobby for few lifetimes. EA, Ubi and others can shove their live services in The Place, where the Sun, Never Shines... 1 Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

SonicMage117 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Best way to enjoy games: stay away from the internet. Amen. Especially stay away from people's personal "reviews."I stay off YouTube when a game I deem worthy of purchase comes out, mainly because I want to avoid spoilers. Additionally I've learned to avoid talking about a given game that I'm really looking for to on forums and Facebook because someone usually has something negative to say and it's usually people who have no idea what they're talking about or an extreme bias which makes their opinion irrelevant. Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone! Lest I draw my nail...
Hawke64 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) In the grim darkness of the very near future, there are only live services. There are independent developers. Speaking of which, The Game Bakers announced their new game, Haven. Judging by the screenshots, there are combat and VN elements. I enjoyed their first game (Furi, boss rush with bullet hell elements; it took 2 attempts to get into, but it was worth it), so whatever genre Haven is, it'll be good.

the_dog_days Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Remember a couple of years ago when SureAI made another total conversion mod for a Bethesda property in their ongoing series called Enderal? Were you like me and interested but didn't want to go through all the trouble of manually downloading the mod? Good news, it's now available on steam as a mod. https://store.steampowered.com/app/933480/Enderal_Forgotten_Stories/ 1

Yup. And Steam user reviews are the worst. I've never taken their reviews into account when trying to decide on buying a game. It's so very obvious most of the negative reviews are coming with an agenda.

majestic Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 The only videos about games I watch on YouTube are Joseph Anderson's. It's refreshing to see an author and skilled player give games an evaluation. That makes his approach different enough to be worthwhile even if some of his videos are long. Really. Long. Well and Summoning Salt's documentaries, but these aren't reviews. 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
SonicMage117 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Nice! That is pretty cool, an author of novels giving thoughts on games. I'll check those out https://youtu.be/J6X27sPdTcs ^Just came across this (Age Of Wonders Planetfall trailer) Age Of Wonders: Guardians Of The Galaxy edition lol I'm interested, I just read the Steam store page and I like wgat they're doing.

Katphood Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Could this be a Fallout 3/Fallout: NV remaster? https://www.vg247.com/2019/02/23/fallout-countdown-amazon-placeholder-bethesda/ There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Guard Dog Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 They own FO 1 & 2 as well right? One rumor on youtube is a remaster bundle for every title from FO1 to FONV. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Malcador Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Oh God, let's hope they did not touch Fo1/2 in any way.

Guard Dog Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 They wouldn't need to change the old games, just make a version that is compatible for modern OS or even consoles is possible. Kids today don't know what they missed. Besides a re-release of FONV might even help OBS. Creatively speaking that was one of their finest hours. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Lexx Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 But Bethesda doesn't put much work into their re-releases, so whatever it is, it's probably going to be disappointing. Just look at the Skyrim remaster, which was... kinda pointless... well, at least for pc users. Now that I'm thinking of it, a re-release of FNV in a modified engine could hurt the modding community a lot, because it'll split and lots of stuff won't ever get ported over to the new release. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Keyrock Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Besides a re-release of FONV might even help OBS. Creatively speaking that was one of their finest hours. Bethesda could even use this opportunity to fix the engine bugs, or just integrate the mountain of community fixes into the game... /tries to keep a straight face 9 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
LittleArmadillo0 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 I doubt that it is going to be any of the original titles or New Vegas. If I had to place a bet on what that game is It'll be either Fallout 3 or a new spin off game.

Long.He's -way- too good for some of his assessments to really be applicable to me, but it's certainly interesting to see viewpoints of a person with that kind of skill (I mean... Damn.) Thank you for pointing him out.
Katphood Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Resi 0, 1 and 4 will be released on the Switch soon: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-02-25-resident-evil-0-1-and-4-get-nintendo-switch-release-dates They own FO 1 & 2 as well right? One rumor on youtube is a remaster bundle for every title from FO1 to FONV. Yes, they do. I wouldn't be surprised at this point since Planescape: Torment and Baldurs Gate are getting console releases. I wouldn't mind getting a Fallout 1 & 2 platinum at all...good gosh am I cheap!

Chilloutman Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 i would be happy if we can get F1 and F2 in Fallout Tactics engine 1 I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
Keyrock Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 The Linux port of X4: Foundations is here. It's considered beta right now. *insert joke about Egosoft games being pre-alpha at full release* As a long time fan of the series, I'm pretty excited to once again begin building my galactic industrial and mercantile empire, which will ultimately fund my massive war fleet. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Katphood Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 i would be happy if we can get F1 and F2 in Fallout Tactics engine Back in the days I always used to tell a mate: 'Fallout 3 will probably be like Fallout Tactics but more story/rpg driven'.
