Generic well-wishing to my competitors, good luck.

Good luck to you, too. What's that? Of course I don't have a knife behind my back. Now let's shake on it.

PopRocks3593951d ago

And a good luck to you too sir! May we both achieve victory once more.

BiggCMan3951d ago

Congratulations in advance to Mezzo!

-Mezzo-3951d ago

Thank you. :)

I know this would sound cocky but here it goes, it's amazing how easy being on top has become.

In June I submitted stories for like 16/17 days and yet came out on top.

coolbeans3951d ago (Edited 3951d ago )

"In June I submitted stories for like 16/17 days and yet came out on top."

Now go for half that number in July. That'll really show us.

FamilyGuy3951d ago

N4G ticket?

Does that show up as a notification when we visit the site or is it emailed to us?

Snookies123951d ago

Yes, it'll show up as a notification when you visit the site.

Will try to enter the Blog Competition again. I still can't believe I won the last one (considering I didn't realize I in effect entered the competition).

Question though; what happened to the prizes for June's winners?

Valenka3950d ago

I've been wondering this too.

dedicatedtogamers3950d ago

It typically takes a long while for the moolah to show up. Almost every time I've won, I received news about the winners for the NEXT month's contest before I got my previous prize i.e I was notified that I had won a prize for the May contest before I had received my code for winning in April.

It's just a waiting game, I suppose.

Cat3946d ago

May winners should all have their prizes now (PayPal issued 3 days ago, and Amazon codes delivered yesterday).

June winners TBA!

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.

isarai7h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken6h 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

Valkyrye5h 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.

Inverno1h 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.

porkChop24m 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.

Aussiesummer13m ago

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

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.

thorstein5h ago

Shouldn't be allowed in any field.

Inverno1h 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.

jwillj2k447m 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.

MrCrimson7m 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.

Zenzuu1h ago

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

MrCrimson8m 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.
