Uhmmm… based?! PSL actually getting strapped like a good org should?

Edit: oof, it’s not PSL, it’s the Party for Socialism and Labor, not the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

Abolish IP, make games public property (among other things).

As someone who played The Frontier and even finished the NCR questline for it, I’ve been playing London a lot. I do want to say that those looking for full New Vegas level roleplaying are going to be disappointed. There are SPECIAL checks, and traits do make a return, but by and large this is closer to Fallout 3 than it is to New Vegas. Checks aren’t that frequent, this is more of a return to Fallout 3’s “horror RPG” style where roaming and exploring makes up the backbone of gameplay with quests meant to take you to new areas and dungeons, largely.

That being said, it’s a great game. There are problems with some of the writing, the Strike Quest where the outcome no matter what seems to be a resolution of two individuals and not the much larger number of striking workers is a horrible depiction of labor rights movements. However, the level design is generally really cool and atmospheric, and a lot of the concepts are extremely fresh.

More than anything, it makes me super excited to see the release of Fallout 4: New Vegas, Fallout: Cascadia, and Fallout: Miami. It’s a surprisingly great execution on a non-US Fallout, and feels fresh, but doesn’t reach the height of New Vegas.

That last detail is why I am so thrilled for Fallout 4: New Vegas. NV modding is incredible, don’t get me wrong, but the visual upgrade going from New Vegas fully graphically modded to Fallout 4 Vanilla is stark. Imagining playing through New Vegas but with nicer gunplay and graphical fidelity has me incredibly hopeful.

That’s basically Starfield, and what it’s trying to do.

Here’s a gameplay trailer from 2020. It’s still in active dev, it just takes a long time and the team prefers not to give updates frequently, you can check the discord server.

In comparison to Vanilla New Vegas, Vanilla 4 is indeed more modern and smooth to play.

Cowbee, 2 miesiące temu

Sure, that’s why the post is saying it keeps the modernizations of 4 while treading towards the game design of New Vegas.

Don’t need to subscribe to anything, just need a GOG account. The mod is hosted on GOG because Nexus denied them due to size.

Fallout: New Vegas, Caves of Qud, Project Zomboid, Minecraft, Terraria, Morrowind, Skyrim, Dwarf Fortress, Kenshi, Rimworld, Elden Ring, and so much more.

Absolutely, it’s one of the few games that genuinely give the player absolute freedom, but does so in a hand-crafted world with detailed lore and worldbuilding. It’s great.

Base building, charting planets, roleplaying, bounty hunting, going to NG+, making different decisions in questlines, and more.

The game is actually pretty good.

Scaldingly hot take: this is not a good thing, but one of the biggest criticisms of the Creation Club is that its content is just one off items and whatnot, and not enough quests. Well, there you go, a questline.

The Creation Kit might end up saving this game, too. I still think there are over 50% odds it pulls a Cyberpunk and is remembered fondly.

Dark Souls 1. It’s not impossible and it has some of the best level design in the genre.

How dare you complain about the Treat Providers?!

Same thing happened to Bethesda games, each is more popular than the last and each has lost more of its magic.

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

This is one of the dumbest moves I have ever seen a dev make.

It’s a nod to Bloody Mess the Trait, which allowed critical-specific overkills to happen even for normal kills.

Cowbee, 6 miesięcy temu

It’s cursed, it has all of the wierd Bethesda East Coast lore, tone, atmosphere, writing, and style, but on the West Coast, and does the West Coast factions dirty.

It also canonized some absolute bullshit, but this isn’t a spoiler thread, is it?

Cowbee, 6 miesięcy temu

It’s just so goddamn silly how Bethesda just cannot understand Fallout, and it’s doubly cursed to see the terrible goofy grimdark mess of East Coast Fallout with West Coast factions.

Yes, but the trait Bloody Mess literally was in the first games, it was just translated into a Perk for 3 when they got rid of traits. It isn’t a reference to 1 and 2 being gorey, it’s a literal named continuation of the Bloody Mess trait in perk form.

I just think it’s a bit silly to say that, it’s like saying Stimpaks are a reference to Fallout 1 and 2 having health points, and not a literal carryover from 1 and 2.

Appealing to the widest audience possible for the largest gross profits, rather than appealing to specific audiences with a smaller budget, is part of the issue with modern gaming.

Growth is more valuable than dividends, and there’s always more room for growth in the eyes of investors.

Cowbee, 7 miesięcy temu

Growth stocks rise more because they carry more risk than steady dividend payouts. In a perfect dividend world, dividends would match growth, but because there is inherent risk in growth stocks there is a larger upswing

There are competing schools of thought in the investment world, and Growth has solidly beaten Dividend investing. Even better, going for a market-weighted global index fund is best.

Fallout: New Vegas, with mods, is one game I always return to. Same with Borderlands 2. They never get old, for me!

For general games with very happy and uplifting messages, Outer Wilds, In Stars and Time and Celeste are wonderful experiences.

Usually, the devs aren’t thinking that, management is and that’s what’s shoveled downward. Still people at tencent, but I imagine it’s not everyone ludicrously evil.

I’ve got the annual New Vegas itch too, already got it perfectly modded on Steam Deck.
