2011 sticks out to me as a particularly good one. Skyrim, Portal 2, Uncharted 3, L.A. Noire and Rayman Origins are all amongst of my all-time favourites.

Interesting how it comes in clusters isn't it? 2010-11 was indeed a fruitful period - and 1996-1998 was just insane.

DanJenkoFMV3718d ago

Can't disagree with you there! Some of those early PS1 games hold up really well.

1996 was the best year in entertainment history.

* Go check out all the Music of various genres, Games on different consoles, and movies that were released in 1996.

Most epic year ever really in terms of pure quality.

SpiralTear3718d ago

1998 was the best year in gaming and it still is. The Nintendo 64, Playstation and PC all got multiple AAA titles, many of which are now classics in every sense of the word.

'91 for me. I was allowed to 'test' Sonic for 30 mins or so a few weeks before Christmas. Then I had to sit there and see my Megadrive being wrapped and placed under tree.

Suffice to say, the next two weeks of my life were filled with sleepless nights as I played the game in my head everyday until I finally got to unleash it. Think I completed it 3 times before Christmas Day had drawn to a close. *sigh*

2011 for me : Batman AC - The witcher 2 - Deus ex HR - Bastion - Dark souls - Portal 2 ... etc .

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.

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken10h 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

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye8h ago

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

just_looken6h 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.

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.

porkChop3h 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.

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.

Aussiesummer3h ago

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

badz1493h 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?

Profchaos2h ago(Edited 2h 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

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_vulgaris2h ago

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