It should be called Executive Dysfunction, but I don’t really want to tell people “I have ED”

Even this is a stretch to be honest. Their games aren’t easy to mod. Minor updates break shit. You need to consider mod load order. You need to “clean” the base files before loading in any big mods.

Their games are made of fucking speghetti code and they don’t care. They could fix it, but they don’t. They could clean their own base game files so this isn’t necessary, but they would rather force people into the ecosystems of Creation Club.

This is one point I contend with: Fallout 76 didn’t become good with patches. I’m not unconvinced that there’s a conspiracy for Bethesda to create the impression online that the game became good with updates.

That’s just me though.

There are some films I enjoy which are objectively bad, and that’s okay.

If people want to enjoy Bethesda games, it’s fine, each to their own.

However, if you want to talk about game design, there is a lot of evidence which supports the claim that Bethesda don’t know what makes a (objectively) good game anymore.

Unfortunately, Bethesda are the only ones in town who are capitalising on “Bethesda style games”. (With the exception of a few, like The Outer Worlds, and Cyberpunk 2077).

Bethesda’s strong suit is their physical world building - but everything else has been getting worse.

The running joke is that the players mod the game to fix after launch. Except it’s not a joke, and it’s really not funny when the devs actually expect the community to fix their game. They could simply pay someone to implement every single fix from the UFO4P and UESSP, but choose not to. They do not care about quality.

Who cares? Bethesda is long past the point of developing a good game.

They could take all the time in the world and it would still be shit because their formula for game development is pathetic.

I meant as a playable character.

Also, no, I didn’t play it lol. My last Assassins Creed game was Black Flag

I don’t think Ubi went “woke” but it does seem kinda disrespectful IMO.

Imagine if in Assassins Creed Origins, the main playable character was white. There would be an uproar.

For what Assassins Creed is worth (and it isn’t a lot, and hasn’t been for a long time), the stories are about the history of the country, as much as the people within it.

To take the perspective away from a native citizen betrays that intent. If Ubi wanted a “fish out of water” character, they should have continued to elaborate on Desmond’s story.

What does woke mean?

I just finished playing X3: Terrain Conflict, and I’ll never play another X game.

As an achievement hunter, I normally play past the point of normal enjoyment, but this game told me, more or less, to go fuck myself.

The first kick in the nuts was completing “Dead Is Dead” mode.

You don’t get to save (with the exception of shutting the game down, but the save will delete upon starting it back up).

The game is prone to crashes, meaning you can have your entire save wiped in an instant because the game decides it doesn’t like it when you use the fast forward function within 10 seconds of a cut scene.

On top of that, one of the campaigns requires you to set up a massive complex of microchips and silicon, which also has a chance of triggering a crash each time you place a factory down.

The final 2 achievements are basically “grind until we say stop”. Which functionally resulted in me leaving my computer on overnight, four nights in a row.

The fact that the devs left the game in this state is inconsiderate at best, and disrespectful at worst.

Besides, the game is basically just an excel sheet simulator, it really isn’t very engaging.

It’s bound to happen.

Sony has been breaking into the PC space for a bit now.

Have you seen the price of Square Enix games?

They need to pull their fucking heads in.

Yeah I’m just going to assume this is a joke.

If you forget all this shit, then why would you be able to remember it for the sake of the story?

Diagnosed ADHD BTW. I get it. Just doubt this one.

OP can you post a picture of it. I’m curious how it could be modified.

Path of Exile 2 Is Being Optimized For the Steam Deck

Your Mom’s being optimised for the Steam Deck

As long as Konami profits, the MGS franchise can fuck off, even if I love the series.

For what it’s worth, I totally get you.

Fallout 4 is a bad Fallout game. However, that doesn’t make it a bad game.

It would be silly for me to say I don’t like it on the grounds that it’s a bad Fallout game.

I simply don’t like Fallout 4, whether it’s part of the franchise or not.

“I don’t like it because it’s not like the original”

It’s a different game, with different mechanics.

By that logic, Metal Gear Rising is a very bad stealth game.

I’m fucking chubbed up.

“Oh fuck, that must mean something was there before, keep rolling perception checks, whatever it is must be around here somewhere”

Because that’s not how Valve operates.

There are still devs who work on TF2, they just don’t know how to address the bot problem without a lot of investment to overhaul the matchmaking system.
