I should be surprised that a bunch of nerds are fixing game-breaking updates in their spare time that were created by a multi-billion dollar corporation, but I’m not, at all.

Plus, this is Bethesda, and in particular their open world games. They have always been shit the fans had to fix if they wanted to play it, as the foundation was solid but the company didn’t do any actual development.

When Bethesda began re-releasing Skyrim without ever fixing any of the many, many, MANY bugs, was when I realized they really don’t give a shit about quality. Unofficial Skyrim Patch has over a thousand bugs that haven’t been fixed by Bethesda, some as old as the original release.

ZombiFrancis,

This has been the gaming industry since the internet.

Back when gaming was still considered a niche pastime or just toys for kids, and the developers weren’t multi-billion corporations, the dynamic was one of a mutual love of the product.

That was like, barely a generation ago.

“Excellent Fallout series”

lol feck off

TheDarksteel94,

Do you think it’s bad? I’ve only heard good things about it 🤔

ThatWeirdGuy1001,
@ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world avatar

It changed a few small details like how becoming a ghoul works but other than that it’s really good.

Zahille7,

Nah, it’s good. Don’t listen to the salty “fanboys.”

There are literally like two discrepancies, but it’s really not a huge deal imo.

theonyltruemupf,

It’s as excellent as a live action adaptation can be.

AceQuorthon,

The Fallout fandom can be divided into two camps, Fallout fans and Bethesda fans. I don’t like Bethesda Fallout and from the little I watched of the show it wasn’t anything for me. 5/10 at best. I don’t care about ”the lore” or any discrepancies, I just thought it wasn’t very good.

Zahille7,

Lol shut up.

TheDarksteel94,

Ah, so it’s more like the vibe of it for you, I guess? I kinda get that.

Consider Tale of Two Wastelands if you have the Fallout and modding itches. I’ve got lifetime nexus premium back in the day so I loaded up a wabbajack playlist and was good to go in less than an hour. Otherwise, it just takes more time to follow a guide.

MonkderDritte, (edited )

Does wabbajack now work on linux?

Nobody wants to make a Linux build?

Default_Defect,
@Default_Defect@midwest.social avatar

I have heard of people making it work, but I can’t confirm for sure.

SquirtleHermit, (edited )

It does not. A bit of intense work arounds can kind of make it happen, but many lists just fail.

Best bet it to use a VM of Windows, (or dual boot or whatever). But if you use Virtualbox, dont try to use a shared folder to make moving the mods easy, it just crashes the whole VM. My lazy work around was to use sftp to move the mods after.

Ragnarok314159,

Be careful with your lifetime. Mine was “cancelled” after trying to do an account restore, and they gave me a few months free to compensate. Wish there was someplace else for mods that wasn’t run by scum.

Fallout really needs its own version of Minecraft’s Modrinth.

Damn and the next one for Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Happens every time, especially if it has been years since the last update.

LodeMike, do gaming w Fallout 4's most popular mods are now ones that remove Bethesda's disastrous 'next gen' update

Everything I hear about AAA games is just straight garbage

RaoulDook,

Mine works fine without mods on the next-gen update. It’s looking much better than before on my widescreen monitor. I used to need mods to make it work in 21:9 and unlocked framerate, and now it’s all supported by the stock game so I’m pleased with it.

I did have a crash to desktop bug until I disabled the Weapon Debris graphics setting though. That was my one lame hassle that happened with it.

UsernameIsTooLon,

You living under a rock? Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, Elden Ring, God of War, Doom Eternal, RE8, and Tears of the Kingdom are awesome AAAs of just the past 5 years to name a few.

It’s just that bad games tend to get more publicity cuz the mob likes to shit on them. Tbh, Cyberpunk wasn’t even a terrible game, it just dropped with performance issues that took over a year to mostly fix.

I’ll give you that all recent Ubisoft titles have sucked though.

LodeMike,

Perhaps

derpgon,

I started to wait a year or two before I try them, that usually means they a) they got most bugfixes, b) additional content and c) they are on sale.

Omega_Haxors,

Because there’s a good experience buried under a mountain of extremely bad decisions. If the games lacked potential people wouldn’t care.

@TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world avatar

I wish I hadn’t installed the update. I was hoping it would make the game run better on the steam deck, but it’s actually worse. I think they’ve increased the graphical fidelity, but it’s come at the expense of the battery. I found a work around to get the game launcher to come up so I could lower the graphics settings to improve battery life, but that doesn’t fix the bugs. They seem to have gotten worse with the update. Never change, Bethesda. Never change.

erwan, do gaming w Fallout 4's most popular mods are now ones that remove Bethesda's disastrous 'next gen' update

What’s wrong, only that it breaks mods or does it break even for regular usage?

JakJak98,

Really it breaks f4se which is the script extender for mods.

And it takes me sometimes 45 seconds to a minute to load when returning to the Commonwealth or large buildings like the library or institute.

@JVT038@feddit.nl avatar

I’m on PC and I haven’t noticed anything changed. Literally. I don’t notice any bugs nor have I noticed a sudden improvement of my graphics. It seems to me that the 15gb that Steam downloaded, was just full of 0’s and don’t do anything.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently the new quests and items are part of the update, so in that case I have definitely noticed something lol.

changingfmh,

The primary issue on PC is that it broken F4SE, breaking a large number of mods and delaying Fallout London, a mod they poached developers from.

That, and loading times in some areas are suddenly a minute long.

Fredy1422,

yep, and im still waiting for the dev to update it (tediously painful he says.)

VindictiveJudge,
@VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

Every update breaks F4SE. Same with SKSE. Just wait a few days and it’ll be fine.

JohnBrownNote, do gaming w Kerbal Space Program fans react with anger over Intercept Games closure, and you know what that means: Review bombing on Steam

that overpriced, buggy, and incomplete mess wasn’t already getting bad reviews?

kbin_space_program,

It was, now Take two can claim its just review bombing and the game is fine.

joelfromaus,
@joelfromaus@aussie.zone avatar

Funny enough some of the most recent reviews have been somewhat positive because of the amount of progress that they have made on the development of the game. If the game were allowed to be developed to full completion, it might be a well received game (Despite the price). Instead they’ve canned it, which is just a disgusting show of business over customers as well as being disappointing for a KSP fan.

njm1314, do gaming w Kerbal Space Program fans react with anger over Intercept Games closure, and you know what that means: Review bombing on Steam

Reviews are one of the only weapons and Outlets that consumers have anymore. Especially a dire need because game journalism is so incredibly incredibly corrupt and inept. So the bitchy tone of this article certainly does track.

tetris11,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

If Amazon has shown us anything though, its that reviews can be bought and sold en masse. I’m not sure how Steam reviews are mitigating this, but I fear that it will be undermined soon

jwelch55,

Do you actually look at Amazon reviews and trust them now though? They may have proven they can pay to put them there, doesn’t mean anyone cares about what they have to say… Though I’m probably overestimating the general population of Amazon shoppers

tetris11,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

The individual review don’t matter though, it’s the mean star score that people glance at and then scroll by on

KingThrillgore,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

You have to have a copy of the game on Steam to review it. It will automatically say you got it for free if it’s a key from Steamworks (given to the press usually). This means the costs of faking reviews would outpace the volume really early.

tetris11,
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

can’t multiple people share an account and post individual reviews from it?

lud,

No, reviews are per account. A single account can post multiple reviews for the same thing (obviously)

onlinepersona, do gaming w Kerbal Space Program fans react with anger over Intercept Games closure, and you know what that means: Review bombing on Steam

Maybe they could join together and write an opensource Kerbal Space Program 2?
