Mamoulian War 1,967 Posted February 23, 2019 Share 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.

SonicMage117 961 Posted February 23, 2019 Share 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?

Hawke64 261 Posted February 23, 2019 Share 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.

Yup. And Steam user reviews are the worst. I've never taken their reviews into account when trying to decide on buying a game.

majestic 2,270 Posted February 23, 2019 Share 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 We all have signed the pacts, we knew so well nothing was left We are being born at the sound of ends, and yes we still believe in beauty It used to be the pride of Man, now a flame put out by the cold in his hand Link to post Share on other sites

Guard Dog 9,292 Posted February 25, 2019 Share 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 Get off my lawn! Link to post Share on other sites
Lexx 2,361 Posted February 25, 2019 Share 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.

LittleArmadillo0 1,007 Posted February 25, 2019 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Chilloutman 1,596 Posted February 26, 2019 Share 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.
