EB: To opine is human, but to opine with some objectivity and intelligent appreciation is the job of a critic. Have critics let their distrust of all things EA color their opinion of Battlefront and their fawning love of Bethesda tint their view of Fallout 4?
Well, at least we can all agree that Rise of the Tomb Raider is just about perfect.
The Nerd Stash: "The Wasteland is unforgiving, and there are a ton of brutal ways to die in the Fallout universe. We listed out the absolutely worst ones."
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
Bethesda Customer Support Manager confirmed they're looking into Fallout 4 not being offered to those who redeemed via PlayStation Plus for free.
Why would anyone downvote this? Don't be silly. This is great news. Thanks for sharing, darthv72.
I think it's because the main question for many was whether or not the PlayStation Plus Collection version would support the upgrade. To me it seems obvious the PlayStation Plus Extra version would, though it is nice to see confirmation it will.
That said, Bethesda highlighting the PlayStation Plus Extra version low-key confirms they do not plan on upgrading the other version given to players. Naturally some people are pissed, as even the in-game phrasing says "free for all players."
It’s just a lame solution to the problem, even if it is a solution. The comment shouldn’t be downvoted though.
I mean, it's at least something. It's 'good' news compared to the alternative. Not darth's fault even.
Also, I highly believe this will get fixed. PR nightmare if they don't since the PS store doesn't differentiate/have different text for those with or without the PS+/PS Collection version.

Is this your first time here?! And when you question the downvotes you get downvoted - I don't make the rules but that's the rules!
Even though I claimed the PS Plus version, I still have my physical GOTY PS4 edition and was able to get my PS5 upgrade a little earlier today. Physical media FTW lol. Hopefully it won't be too long before the PS Plus owners also get to upgrade their copies.
My point is that even though I claimed the digital version via my PS+ Essential sub, I was still able to upgrade to the PS5 version using my PS4 GOTY physical version that I bought years ago. Otherwise I would have had to wait for the fix to be released, however long that will take. Isn’t that what the article was about?
No, you claimed an upgrade that everyone with the physical or digital license can other then ps+ extra .
And what you hold is nothing more then a physical license.
And the article is talking about people with ps+extra who didn't own the game previously to it going on ps+ .
I bought the game years ago to ... digitally, my whole point was to your statement " physical media Ftw" . So what does physical have to do with anything?
Should have looked into the 75% deal before the update, but I just assumed I owned it. Thankfully I found the physical disc, ha...
I expect this and also no releasing on next ps console. Pretty simple. Please don't be suprise
This is why I look at games media for entertainment only and not their opinions, it never used to be this way though, EGM magazine years ago had perfect reviewing even if I disagree with their final score.
Now it has become some ugly circle of websites/individuals doing reviews who don't even like the kind of game they're reviewing, which always ends up with their shitty attitude about the game as they push their agenda building up games they do like.
And after the review drama surrounding Kane and Lynch, now we get idiots who give harsh reviews for money clicks to target two different gaming crowds. Those who get offended because they like whatever game or those who are thirsty for negativity to justify their dislike of whatever game.
Now there still might be some decent people within games media, but usually they are the less talked about because they're not edgy attention whores.
For example, Kinda Funny Games is mega popular and I'm a fan, and not because their PlayStation oriented, but because they only play and talk about games they like.
I agree and even the sites that I trust most have some qustionable reviews.
I use twitch and youtube alot nowdays. There I can watch games being played by real gamers. It helps me decide if I want to buy a game. I bought Untill Dawn after watching twitch.
I agree with this articles overall point. Not there opinions on these games. Well except tomb raider is great. Battlefront is the most style over substance game I've ever played. Looks and sounds amazing. Controls ok at best, generic modes, 13 maps for a multiplayer only game, not close to enough, most the weapons feel very similar, terrible spawn points on certain modes, $50 season pass which will split the player base. Sorry for me it looks great, but comes up short in many categories.
Biggest problem is critics lose their objectivity by trying to punish games for either not being to their liking or they review games they have no interest in for clicks.
Half the reviews I see, the review has no idea what the game is about. It's just a disk they received in the mail and they feel they have enough authority to say whatever they want, whatever will generate the most buzz. They're fanboys too in a way.
Considering many in the 'media' rely upon these same publishers for their existence all objectivity is gone from the start. I am not saying they are all jaded, but how deeply do you bite into the hand that feeds you? Not very deep.
With that thought I am always interested to see if they write about ridiculous practices such as $50 DLC (which is not mentioned here). It needs to be called out. It is abhorrent.
