Lmao, much of the reason rovers weren’t included in the base game was it would take about 3 min to reach one end of the loaded map, before you have to return to your ship and click on another map marker in the UI.

That did not make for exciting exploration, but I guess they forgot about that

GregorGizeh,

They didn’t add exciting exploration in the first place so it makes sense they would drop the pretense

They didn’t add exploration

Fixd

Seriously, what is there to explore at all, in the first place? It’s always an uneventful time-wasting jog to whatever point of interest you want to go. When said PoI is a dungeon (building with enemies to kill and loot), you can tell from the outside how the inside will be, 100% of the time. No unique loot, no unique quests, no unique anything

Scanning flora and fauna? What for? The slimmest exp gain, a “completed” thingy item that you can sell, it’s one of the saddest attempts at padding. Besides, whatever drops you could get from them, you can buy straight from vendors.

Blaster_M,

If I want Lifeform Scanning Simulator I could just play No Man’s Sky

The first two are awful for a console. Why would you want to play wow or an RTS with a controller?

miau,

Because its fun even if the input method isnt perfect. Specially so for casual gamers. Both ports for age of empires play really well on console and I suppose age of mythology will be just as great.

Laborer3652,

I’m clean now but back when I played WoW people said there was a mod that gave really good controller support. Its very popular on the steam deck.

echodot,

Same for Microsoft flight simulator. Why the hell are they putting that on a console?

Mako_Bunny,

FFXIV works really well on console and that’s a full MMO

I hear good things about what they did for AoE2 on controller, and the genre was long overdue for someone to solve that problem. I’ve got some hand and wrist issues these days after working at a computer for so many years, and I’ll always prefer a controller when possible.

Ilflish,

MMOs surprisingly have a strong controller play base mainly thanks to FFXIV. Considering it’s WoW’s strongest competitor, a controller layout is a solid idea

aStonedSanta,

I prefer ffxiv with controller. They really nailed the experience.

Katana314,

I mean, besides FFXIV’s famous layout, I think it’s not so unreasonable to attach a keyboard to a console for things like chat or the game interface. A few Xbox games even do just that.

Of course, no game can require a keyboard plugged in to play. But given the age of Guitar Hero attachments, a few extras make sense.

ryathal,

Keyboards need a desktop though, which isn’t really common for most console locations.

Some bacta will fix them right up!

Zahille7,

Get some bacta, Delta!

battery on my steamdeck lasts way longer doing retrodeck things and no internet needed.

I’ve never been less excited for a line up

Honestly, you could do far worse than this. There’s some stuff in here that looks awesome.

echodot,

Basically I’m mildly interested in the back end of 25 and that’s about it. Although I’ve never been a diablo player so perhaps I’m not the best person to ask.

Even if I was interested in playing call of duty which I’m not I can get that on PC. In fact it would be a better experience on PC the console version is always frame rate limited.

criss_cross,

I think Avowed is the only thing I’m kinda excited for and that’s more of a “This sounds kinda promising” than “Oh shit I can’t wait!”

Jaeger86,

Like the only one I want to play is doom but I’m going to wait for that to go on sale just like the others. And idk if it’s exclusive but that just means I’m either playing it on my steam deck or ps5

Does it actually move faster than sprinting?

aodhsishaj,

Unless they did a physics overhaul, not much faster. Collision physics in that game engine are really wonky, and good vehicles need good collision. Pardon the pun.

datelmd5sum,

It’s still Daggerfall under the hood right?

aodhsishaj,

I think so, there have been extensive changes, like when the VATS animations were added. That’s why I asked if there was a new change made to the game engine.

fartsparkles,

Technically it’s Morrowind under the hood as they scrapped Daggerfall’s XnGine and licensed NetImmerse/Gamebryo for TESIII which they’ve been maintaining ever since (currently called Creation Engine).

Woooo Age of Mythology!

Also Doom Dark Ages looks like fun.

So is your car the only car in the universe? As far as I recall the only form of local transportation has been that miniature train system on New Atlantis. If your own transport ships need to travel to an outpost 200 meters away, they go to space and back to get there.

There were several prop rovers on a number of locations, but they were just set dressing. This is obviously the only working rover in the universe

I would love to get a code break down and see how Bethesda spaghetti recoded the Skyrim horse mechanic into a vehicle.

gods. you said “mages guild” and I was reminded how much I miss the actual mages guild.

but i do like the college. and modded skyrim can be nice and peaceful when you don’t know what to play. i just took a break from another action heavy game and went to modded skyrim as well.

its always nice to see your posts. enjoy <3

I’m like 2 magika points short of Summon Flame Atronach which is the spell i needed to entry. I’m playing on Survival mode so what i’m hoping to do is level up on the way there. Something about that walk especially is just so relaxing (even when you’re getting jumped by bandits and wolves every 10 feet)

Darn it! I managed a full half year of not thinking about another play through of Skyrim!

I’m actually Todd Howard in disguise. This has been a ploy to get everyone to play Skyrim again

Well this one was incredibly easy to identify, even with mods.
