No love for my Dark Souls review eh? Damn :(

Oh well! Congrats to all winners!

Cat4069d ago

I neglected to mention our "runners up" this month, I'll try to make time to go back and include those!

DragonKnight4069d ago

Out of all the blogs I've written so far, Gaming and the Disposable Man would never have been the one I would figure to be a winner. Thank you for choosing it.

Cat4069d ago (Edited 4069d ago )

I do disagree (vehemently ;) ) with one of your supporting arguments, but it was definitely a good blog topic!

DragonKnight4069d ago

I just saw that. I replied to it. And once again, thank you.

Christopher4067d ago

You know we disagree on this viewpoint, at least a bit, but a good blog is a good blog. Thanks for sharing.

DragonKnight4067d ago

We do, but I'm glad you enjoyed the blog. Hopefully I'll be able to produce another good one regardless of if it "wins" anything or not.

KwietStorm_BLM4069d ago

I am completely confuzzled. Did I just win a amazon gift card?

ZombieNinjaPanda4069d ago

Thanks Cat, and thanks everyone who voted for my blog even though I know it was controversial.

DragonKnight4069d ago

Looks like all 3 choices were controversial. Lol.

zerocrossing4069d ago (Edited 4069d ago )

You can vote for blogs? O.o can someone please explain to me how to do that so I can help contribute to the winners next time.

@DragonKnight

Oh, OK thanks for the explanation.

DragonKnight4069d ago (Edited 4069d ago )

I don't think normal members get to vote, I think it's the mods and admins that vote.

Cat4069d ago

cgoodno and I choose the blogs and user reviews :)

PS4isKing_824069d ago

My name is in the list. If I won a gift card, what do I do exactly to claim it? I'm confused.

WarThunder4069d ago

Me too! what do we do exactly to claim it?

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai8h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken7h ago

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

Valkyrye6h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken4h ago

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.

Inverno2h ago

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.

porkChop1h ago

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.

Chocoburger2h ago

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.

Aussiesummer1h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz14957m ago

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?

Profchaos24m ago(Edited 22m ago)

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

Why Monopolies In Gaming Must Not Be Allowed

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.

thorstein6h ago

Shouldn't be allowed in any field.

Inverno3h ago

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.

jwillj2k41h ago

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.

MrCrimson1h ago

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.

Zenzuu2h ago

Monopolies shouldn't be allowed regardless. Not just for gaming.

MrCrimson1h ago

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" -

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.

Sciurus_vulgaris29m ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
