They may not find any terrorists but they will find a lot of 12 year old murderers and rapists.

12 year old rapists? Murderers?

You do know these are just games right? It's fantasy, NOT REAL.

You can't put together pretend-killing with real-life rapists. Or is there some raping game out there?

It was a joke relating to some of the messages you get from raging kids on XBL and PSN.

That comment got another disagree you got an agree even after I explained that you misunderstood it. I think that some of the users on N4G may be mentally challenged.

Terrorists spying on terrorists....

Thats tyranny for ya. The good ol U.S. of A., we claim we love freedom then we let greed conniving politicization and business men take it all away in the name of it. Our forefathers died for freedom now their in their graves like twizzlers.

Firebird3604399d ago

Lots of dudes jerkin it is all they'll find.

Regent_of_the_Mask4399d ago

So they have to try and hack and do all of this other garbage to find this stuff? They must be pretty bad at it as you can find these people by setting them up without all of that.

Hicken4399d ago

Oh? How many terrorists have you found?

Regent_of_the_Mask4399d ago

How many?

I don't know how many people work at Activision.

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 🤣🤣🤣

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

Valkyrye4h ago

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

just_looken3h 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.

porkChop18m 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.

Chocoburger1h 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.

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

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.
