"We’ve talked about it before and Scott and I agreed that we review the game based on the state it was in when we played it, score it appropriately, and that’s that. We have added updated information to a review, but we’ve never changed the score once it was posted. Part of me still agrees with this and part of me is starting to think that maybe changing the review score, in certain situations, would benefit the most important person in the equation; You. This is me thinking out loud and letting you in on my thoughts on the topic. Let’s see where they take us."
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

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
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” .
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
To me, i want the review score at launch. Why? Because that is when i drop $60 for it. In a year, when i can get it for $10, i dont care if they made it better. Maybe a site can do that. Be somebody that updates games later on (i copyright this idea lol). But, launch is important.
That being said, i think for goty considerations and bonus rewards or legacy, games can also be looked at again (another site for this) that talks about support for the game and looks at it in retrospect of other released titles too. U may give a game a 9.5 and then another game releases of the same vein that is much better with better support but isnt perfect. What do u give it?
Soon, next gen will be here. How will that work? Many will be released on different platforms. I dont envy reviwers that have integrity when they attempt to tackle this. Maybe a look later down the road would make for a great site, especially now that next gen is coming and the market is saturated with games.
I think updating a review is ok but not changing the score or if you do at least leave the original score and then put a "patched review score" if the patches or dlc really add that much more to the experience, however, i would definitly asterick* or highlight anything that was changed and emphasize that the scores were changed based on patches,dlc, etc.
