Legate of Mineta Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Schwarzbart; Now you *know* I shouldn't be giving any dates here, but I'd *guess*...no, maybe middle of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 That long? Even a part-time editor shouldn't take most of a month to edit all the pieces together. Unless there's still pieces being put together, of course, but IIRC the campaign itself was pretty much done, just waiting for the trailer.

freespace2dotcom Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 ... Well, It's OK. I'm trying to focus on getting a PS4, so I can play Dragonball Xenoverse 2 when it comes out. Probably get fallout 4 and Arkham knight too. Kinda sad that theres only 3 or so games for the current gen consoles that I really like. It's why I dragged my feet so long.

Legate of Mineta Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I really enjoyed Fallout 4, but I long for the earlier days of storytelling- so much that doesn't quite make sense in that tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I personal would get games with a big mod community on the PC to have access to the great mods but for the Bethesda games there is also a lot of work to make sure there not to many problems in playing with different mods ^^.

Legate of Mineta Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yeah, it can take you some set up and research time, there's no doubt. I remember on Skyrim it took all Saturday one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 That's the cost of being able to play a Bethesda game with some degree of it functioning more so than vanilla versions usually do. I fondly remember my unpatched 360 copy of Oblivion and how literally every questline completely broke on me at least once. Also, make sure you check and see if Fallout 4 is a better game than Fallout 3 before buying it, especially a console version. F3 was...utter garbage, from what I recall.

freespace2dotcom Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I liked f3, but it tended to lag horrifically late game. Anyway, Is it true that both xbone and ps4 require subscription access to play online? 'Cuz that's the biggest crock ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I wasn't aware that F4 even had an online component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 No, I was speaking in general. My reason to get a current gen system is so I can play Xenoverse 2, but if I have to pay 50 dollars just for online access for a year, that really puts me off getting a ps4 or xbone. Most games I play are single player, so it mostly doesn't affect me, but a fighting game like xenoverse is completely online once you've finished story mode (and all the best gameplay is during that time.)

Metis Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 IIRC Sony switched to a paid subscription model for PS4's Plus and Micro has has one since the 360, so for playing a game online, so I'd say yes. EDIT: Some quick research suggests that PS+, which is to say the paid subscription, is indeed required to play any PS4 game online. For as long as a game's servers actually exist, of course.

freespace2dotcom Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Especially when server shutdowns means something in the game is lost forever. Anyway, Legate, we're still waiting for news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was recently the news that Sony closed a PS4 account because they suddenly didn't like the account name and the player lost all games he bought thanks to this.

Metis Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Also Fallout 4 mods on the PS4 has apparently been delayed and might not ever happen. Something about conversions and a license thing or something? As someone who regretted buying Fallout 3 you can probably imagine I don't follow Bethesda's recent antics too much.

freespace2dotcom Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Personally, I'm not very big on mods. I wouldn't care about that so much. I really liked both fallout 3 and new vegas, so I'm expecting 4 will still be good even though I spoiled the first and last quarters of the story already. Honestly, I really want to get heavier into retrogaming. I already have virtually every mainstream console minus current gen stuff, and a few exceptions here and there. I still haven't played my turbographx 16 at all since I bought it like 7 years ago. I just keep putting it off. Keith Courage in the Alpha zones gave me nightmares as a kid, and I really want to play it a bit to see how foolish I was, (considering there was a pinball game for it with nothing but skulls that I had no problem with....) Then there's stuff like Final Fantasy Viii, which I never managed to beat due to really bad luck. (my current copy has an invisible scratch on disc 2 which freezes an fmv) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I know a retro Bethesda game you can get horribly lost in try out . GoG is also a great place to raid for retro games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 As much as I like GOG, I love the feeling of holding the physical copy. Plus as a kid I was far more of a console guy. Still am, really. On a side note, It seems the PS4 is 100% non backwards compatible. (Unless you buy the game again, digitally. ka-ching.) The early ps3s with full backwards compatibility are the best. Although I don't have one. Too bad greed got in their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I've owned a few consoles, but I'm not a big fan of them.... They put in all those limitations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 It's the old consoles that are worth it. Past the PS2 and Gamecube (maybe Xbox? Don't really know) it's just a mess of broken online games, unpatched junk with DLC-locked content, and gimmicky controllers that wouldn't allow you to hit the broad side of a barn from inside the barn. In the good old days you had games that were at least visibly not broken (I sure played through OoT many times and noticed maybe one minor glitch, but gods, that game's code is held together by duct tape and hope) more often than games currently are visibly broken, shoe-horned in split-screen multiplayer that was at best impossible to make out because of the tiny screen size each player gets, intentionally stupid or overpowered bosses that highly encouraged buying the poorly written and often not thought through strategy guide or otherwise call a helpline that bordered on extortion, content locked behind skill challenges that most sane people with other things to do could never hope to accomplish within a reasonable amount of time, and if you're living in this country you got the bonus of playing every game completely blind because it wasn't until you were nine or ten years old that your entirely self-taught English was good enough to understand anything. But it was better and we liked it, dagnabbit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
