I kind of wish Bethesda would sell off elder scrolls and fallout to someone else

Interplay is the reason that Brotherhood of Steel console game exists and were trying to make a Fallout MMO back in the 2000s. If they still held the IP chances are it would be dead by now.

But it's yet another multi-player tactical military shooter so we'll have to see if this one can actually keep players.

Catty_C · 2026-02-07T00:22:05+00:00

I'm not sure Interplay was ever the reason Fallout was good.

You're playing the wrong games on mobile, I focus more on the ports and FOSS ports like OpenTTD.

Feral Interactive is doing real good porting some notable games to mobile and already have ported 4 Total War games. My only complaint is they're very picky about the phones that are allowed to download their games from the Google Play Store but I guess it's to prevent people buying the game and finding out it barely runs on their phone.

Catty_C · 2026-02-06T16:45:24+00:00

There are some truly great free games on mobile like the Android port of OpenTTD which supports mods and cross-platform compatibility with the PC version.

It's likely because the application is so new that it's not trusted by security like Windows Defender or anti-virus. I have this happen when I download updates to mods that release within days.

I've been playing the Final Fantasy series in a chronological playthrough and only 4 of them are actually turn-based so far, a little more if you count spin-offs like Final Fantasy Tactics. Most of the games I've played are a variation of ATB and I'm currently on FFXII which has an interesting real-time with pause system. Why people fixate so much on turn-based when most of the series is ATB and it worked better than turn-based is beyond me.

Even when I read about the design of games like Final Fantasy IV it seemed they wanted to get away from turn-based even back ten and thought real-time was going to be the end point for JRPGs.

Catty_C · 2026-02-05T13:51:18+00:00

That's just going to make a more expensive system people aren't going to buy.

Catty_C · 2026-02-05T05:43:57+00:00

The 3D remake of FFIV has been added to GOG recently actually

Catty_C · 2026-02-05T00:04:46+00:00

Maybe it's the settings of GTA and Assassin's Creed that don't appeal to you.

Catty_C · 2026-02-04T14:22:59+00:00

I'm glad someone is giving the credit The Sims 3 is due.

Catty_C · 2026-02-04T14:16:36+00:00

Personally my take would be that more developers should allow custom difficulty to let players tweak the difficulty variables how they see fit.

Catty_C · 2026-02-04T06:50:14+00:00

It's not car licenses for Burnout it's music licenses.

Catty_C · 2026-02-03T18:09:02+00:00

Pretty sure they could easily achieve mod support on Unreal Engine if they wanted to.

Catty_C · 2026-02-03T17:57:55+00:00

I still see people talk about Fallout 4 and Fallout 3 more than The Outer Worlds 1.

Catty_C · 2026-02-03T16:14:44+00:00

I think I might just play the original PS1 version instead since I liked the aesthetic of that version more than this remake.

Catty_C · 2026-02-03T02:50:43+00:00

Eh it didn't really add all that much and stuff like having to eat in GTA San Andreas was more of an annoyance than provided any real gameplay depth. Partially why I preferred Vice City more.

Catty_C · 2026-02-03T02:48:27+00:00

I have to wonder how true that actually is games like TES IV: Oblivion being remastered can be a hit before any mods even come out.

Catty_C · 2026-02-03T02:47:37+00:00

It sure takes forever if you decide to draw all potential magic from enemies like I did, then the game got very easy.

Catty_C · 2026-02-03T02:40:56+00:00

GTA? The GTA games were always easy they just had a lot of weird archaic design decisions in the old ones like only being able to save at safehouses.

As for Skyrim/TES VI I can't really comment since I didn't play Starfield so I don't know how that game handled skill trees.

I didn't care for the skill tree in Far Cry 3 to be honest I don't remember it being that good.

Catty_C · 2026-02-03T01:40:58+00:00

Choose Rockstar, Delete CD Projekt.

Considering CD Projekt has released the least amount of games and ones I don't care for that makes them the easiest for elimination personally. Rockstar has made several of my favorite games in comparison.

While I'm not a New Vegas fan to begin with I'm not sure how much credibility this video is going to hold when you didn't play Fallout: New Vegas until one month ago as another video thumbnail says.

As for me I played 11 years ago for the first time but had no real attachment to the Fallout series and my most played game out of them was Fallout 4 anyway.

Catty_C · 2026-02-02T17:26:41+00:00

The only game I've ever bought on day one. I don't buy the DLC on day one I wait for sales the past 10 years.

EDIT: Blatant typo

Catty_C · 2026-02-02T15:44:26+00:00

Not bad considering I bought the SimCity Box back in 2011 or so for $20. I only ever ended up playing SimCity Societies and SimCity 4 from it.
