In a time when cries for ethics among video game media outlets are rampant, it's disappointing to see a developer make threats for dishonest scores.
Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.
Some PS Plus subscribers can now access the next-gen version of Fallout 4 after Bethesda addressed concerns on Thursday, but others have still been left in the cold.
This update on PC kills mods, they still didn't improve or fix the draw calls and if you have an RTX card the game still crashes unless you turn off debris.
So if you mod the game it now looks worse, plays worse, all of your saves are broken and the game breaking bugs are still present.
Good work detective
Bethesda strikes again, always thought their games were a tad boring anyway, this was even before Microsoft brought them. Used to quake 3 team arena to death, on an old pc, at the time it was new, fresh, fast paced and innovative, their games these days, are none-of-the-above
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher PQube and Tokyo-based (Japan) video games publisher and developer Acquire, today announced with great thrill and happiness that “Class of Heroes 1 & 2: Complete Edition“, is now available for PC (Steam) and consoles (PS5 and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Developers have been doing this for years prior unfortunately because they know that early reviewers usually makes more revenue regardless of quality. For what it's worth, I'll always support an honest review regardless of time............
Its sad and unethical. People would be surprised by the shady politics and how some of those troll reviews or high praising reviews are coerced, a deal under the table or paid for. Remember metacritics scores mean tons for a company and the games developed for them. Only ignorants believe that gaming isn't tainted by these tactics like every other medium.
That's why I stick with only a few reviewers. Ganetrailers bka Easy Allies usually keep it sincere or at least close to my tastes. Reviewing isnt perfect either as much of it is subjective.
It's certainly a grey area I can understand from both sides. In this day and age anyone with a keyboard and an internet connection can be a 'reviewer'.
So while review conclusions are of course subjective and purely based on opinions that makes them easy to hide behind the results when you may in fact have an 'agenda' for whatever reason.
But this goes both ways, it's bad enough to see gamers bitch and boycott sites purely because they didn't like X game getting Y score. But we have to appreciate these reviews can genuinely effect these guys lives and futures.
If I were a dev, I'd limit the number of review copies I issue to the reputable news outlets. Of course, then do you expect those 'shunned' sites to be honest when they review at a later date? It's tough.
The thing about it is, if you don't want the game to be reviewed early. Then don't send people FREE copies of your game to review it. Eff an embargo, just don't give them the game. If they get the game through illegal means then hey tighten up on your next iteration release. If you make a quality product why would you care if the game is reviewed early or not? Early reviews are most of the time the best reviews because the person is so hyped about it that they give insight on all of the areas the game fell short yet they speak on where the game shines. Also, the review score is normally more forgiving than an embargo review and or a late review. Late reviews are the worst because these are outlets that didn't get the game release day and now have to write a review that people will click on hence bad scores and or catchy insults regarding mechanics/graphics etc.
At the end of the day make a quality product and people won't say many bad things about it, stick to your game concept you told the people the game was about, don't lie about the gameplay or graphics, don't lie about what the game is about or is supposed to do and don't lie about the audience the game is intended for. People that buy the game day one like all of the lies told about the game for you to sell it when they buy it and find out it's full of lies guess what they talk negatively about the product and warn people to run away from it. it's not that difficult to understand.
I dont even care about the reviewers now days.. Except for some most are shady and biased.. If i like a certain game and its gameplay i will simply go ahead an preorder it..
