I don’t really get how people’s problem with Bethesda is bugs and glitches, which are completely solvable, and not the writing that makes you want to remove some brain tissue from your skull so that it doesn’t bother you that much
Id guess that 76 was a big catalyst in that.
Since it was an online game you couldn’t load community patches,
so people where kinda forced to stare it in the face.
In addition to that, the perception of AAA games kinda shifted in general.
From Blockbusters with incredible production value, to overhyped and unfinished bug ridden messes.
So Bethesda gets lot more flak now for having so many bugs, even tho almost none are game breaking
I like Metal Gear Solid a lot. Metal Gear Solid 2 was okay but the bait and switch from Solid Snake to Raiden was just aggravating and the plot started getting more crazy than I cared for. By the time Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater came out I was just done. I know I’m in the minority here but it just isn’t for me. The first Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 was about the right balance of game play and funky off the wall story for me.
Hideo Kojima needs someone to tell him when enough is enough.
I don’t get the appeal of preordering a game months before it comes out when there isn’t even a discount for doing so. At least Steam has 2 hour returns, but why money upfront so far away from release?
If you’re interested in 4X games at all Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is only $1.49. It absolutely holds up and to this day probably still has the best story of any 4X game.
It also works great on Steamdeck with a couple of easy tweaks. Unfortunately the instructions for those tweaks are currently in Reddit blackout shutdown limbo so I can’t copy them here, but when the blackout ends you can Find The Instructions Here.
I don’t know what your local market looks like, but probably. The goal is still an i7 6xxx or i5 8xxx or newer. At least 210W PSU, and find a way to 16gb RAM. SSD is absolutely required. RAM and SSD prices have dramatically fallen in the US at least, not sure about worldwide. The Rx 6400 can be bought new on Amazon, Alibaba, or straight from AMD.
Try to find a mid-high end computer which is several years old and upgrade it. Where I am, you absolutely can not build a computer cheaper than buying a slightly outdated one.
@DevForFun150@sounddrill I think I heard about people buying from the dell outlet to scrap for GPUs during the run on crypto mining and scalpers. Then there’s the “shuck” gamble for external hdds.
Not hating on people who like and enjoy PvP games, but to me it feels like it’s a good way for a developer to make a game that doesn’t actually have that much substance. Lacking content? Nothing to actually do in the game? NPCs are difficult to make interesting to fight? Just have players shoot each other. It’s basically content that creates itself, not to mention (if you have good matchmaking) the difficulty ramps up naturally without you having to write better enemy AI.
I just want to fight stuff alongside other people, rather than potentially making another person’s day just a little worse because I shot them before they shot me, you know? Is that too much to ask?
Nope. And everybody will scream cause they payed 70 bucks for a broken game, just like Bethesda is known to produce.
Just keep looking at the list. Payday 3 is also there. A publisher known for maybe a worse dlc and microtransaction policy than EA with the Sims, but it seems that doesn’t matter a bit.
It looks good in the marketing (it always does) but we should all remember that it’s Bethesda making this. Then again, I can’t even name a developer that I would say “hell yeah, this is gonna be awesome!” at this point. The very sad state of the industry.
Fallout: NV and Skyrim. People kept recommending them to me but neither really clicked. I put about 20 hours into each before just kinda dropping them and not looking back. Even tried mods since everyone says they’re better modded, but just found I was spending more time modding the games than playing them. Maybe Bethesda games just aren’t my thing.
