While I'm not the most knowledgeable or experienced person with Fallout,

@Sola

It's fine, neither is Bethesda.

Oof. Black Ops 4 fucked up

[Gelatinous Cube]

New Vegas 2 pls.

Or better yet, let Obsidian make a new Infinity Engine game set in a different Forgotten Realms location (Waterdeep or Calimshan or anywhere) and do it with 5e rules.

@GingerBoi123

COD been farming out games like over milked cows for years. They been fucked up for a while.

[GingerBoi123]

@PrinceAlexusI cannot disagree with that. I pretty much enjoyed Black Ops 3 until they added weapons into the crates and that's when I realised "Ohhhh..... they don't actually care about games anymore..."

But yeah, the new stuff they did with Black Ops 4 makes me laugh.

[PrinceAlexus]

@GingerBoi123

Modern warfare, Two, Black Ops (original) still copies at times but things went far faster downhill after that point.

Yeah, it's gone miles off thr original idea. Not even a a campaign!

Does anyone make a game now without battleroyalle more lol
Its become like the the biggest thing ever...

[GingerBoi123]

@PrinceAlexusI mean... I get why they did it. It's a craze and it's a surefire way to make money but I'm a huge fan of Jim Sterling and his message about the triple A industry.

Having said that, in his words- "Triple A video game companies are not content with merely making money. They have to make ALL the money."

Having 'finished' Red Dead Redemption 2, I have some thoughts on that game.

I'll likely put them together over the weekend. There will be spoilers, but I'll put them behind hiders.

I say Obsidian, but really I think Beamdog themselves will do a fine enough job. Maybe they could get on the horn to the writers of those original classics.

@Gelatinous Cube

That requires Beamdog to make an actual game and not remaster until the end of time.

[Gelatinous Cube]

They dipped their toe in the water with Siege of Dragonspear, which while it wasn't perfect I still liked it a lot. Still, it sticks out like a sore thumb when you put it between BG 1 and 2. It's not as seamless as it should be, clearly having been made by different people.
But it would be cool if they did a new story set in the Forgotten Realms.

Everyone else is playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and I'm just like

@Hey Im Jordan

Soon, once my commission check comes around that's one of the first games I plan on getting.

Also stupid question but it's the first time I'll be playing a fighting game on a console, do you find it easier or harder to play on a keyboard vs a controller?

[GingerBoi123]

@HeroAny fighting game is better with a controller, hands down.

For fighting games it's:

Fight stick > Controller > Keyboard

Playing a fighting game with a keyboard is like playing Guitar Hero with a racing wheel.

@GingerBoi123

I always wondered how people did it. PC gaming in general is pretty new to me so I usually have no clue what to do with anything. Love it to death, though.

@GingerBoi123

kbd is a thousand times easier on keyboard. don't sleep on fighting games with a controller. i can't kbd on a stick (and i have three different sticks that all have different hardware configurations) or a controller. keyboard is fine, especially if you're a fast typist. don't misinform this poor girl.

@Hero

Fighting games are absolutely all personal preference. Try everything out and decide for yourself. That being said, absolutely under no circumstances ever use an Xbox controller. The dpad is really bad... I guess it might work for SC since it's not as input heavy and you can use the analog stick.

@Hero

A lot of PC games these days have controller integration so you can plug and play or at the very least click a few things to make Steam recognize the controller inputs.
