Before to this holiday season we all thought we would miss out on a bunch of games, like Bioshock 2, Mafia 2, Red Dead Redemption and ect. Than slowly, but surely games started being delayed until next year, giving us some hope that we would beable to enjoy them without being broke (especially with the economy the way it is) and now as most of the holiday releases are over, we come yet again to our worst nightmare, a bunch of great looking games being released very close together.
Now the first quarter of 2010 is looking like this holiday season was suppose to look like:
Jan. 5: Bayonetta and Darksiders
Jan. 12: Arm of Two: The 40th Day and Dark Void
Jan. 26: MAG and Mass Effect 2
Feb. 9: Bioshock 2, Dante's Inferno, and Star Ocean PS3
Feb. 23: Lost Planet 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction
Mar: MLB 2010, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, God of War 3
Mar. 9: Final Fantasy 13
Mar. 23: Just Cause 2
Q1 2010: Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo 5, Dead Rising 2, Eye Pet (US), Split/Second, and White Knight Chronicles
That’s Atleast 20 games coming out in a three month period, and a lot of us still want to buy some of the games released this holiday. Than that still leaves with some games during the 2nd quarter. Publishers really need to schedule games better and more during the summer (I enjoy being outside during the summer, but i wouldnt mind play games during the night or when its raining).
There’s just too many great looking games coming in such a short period of time that most of us wont beable to enjoy and that’s a shame because I’m sure it'll be games like Heavy Rain, White Knight Chronicles, Eye Pet, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Bayonetta and Dante's Inferno. Not only that, some game developers wont get the money they deserve for their great game.
Its a lose, lose cituation for both gamers and developers alike.
Reader Questions:
What 5 games are you for sure going to buy during the first quarter of 2010? Which 5 games will you least likely be buying during the first quarter of 2010? How many games from this holiday season are you still looking to buy? Out of all the first quarter games, which do you think will get the best metacritic score?
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...
Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?
The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.
A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
1. GT5
2. GOW3
3. ME2
4. BF:BC2
5. SCC or Bioshock 2
Notable games: MAG, Bioshock 2, Heavy Rain. (I've played MAG plenty, and it was plenty of fun, its just that I'd choose the others over MAG)
I don't agree that its a lose lose situation for developers and gamers. Gamers have so many great titles to choose from. Developers might not see immediate sales, but they'll definitely grow over time.
Actually there's only 4 games I'm looking forward to.
1.Final Fantasy 13
2.White Knight Chronicles
3.Mass Effect 2
4.Just Cause 2
5 games I won't be buying
1.Heavy Rain
2.EyePet
3.Dante's Inferno
4.Dark Void
5.God of War 3
I've actually bought all the games i want this holiday season.
which do I think will get the best metacritic score is kinda tough to guess, I would assume FF13 should average 90s but so could 3-4 others as well.
God of war 3, last guardian, heavy rain, Darksiders, bioshock 2
That's funny ppl disagreed with me considering it was just my opinion and it's not like anyone has to buy what I am going to lol ppl on here sure are funny.I don't plan on buying 4 outta 5 of the games the person above me stated but i never gave him a disagree since It's his/her choice.
Oh ic must be the God of War 3 fanboys, since i put that in my not buying list.
