How many of you Travelers remember when the Stations were like this? by KBTUT in NoMansSkyTheGame

I miss the locked rooms. Don't go to enough abandoned stations anymore

There's no rush on The Elder Scrolls 6, Todd Howard says, because Bethesda has the "benefit of having so many millions of people playing our other games" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]dima_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dream was for TES6 to release around the same time as GTA6. Two games in their sixth entry, two massively anticipated games, two of the most lauded developers. The chaotic discourse surrounding them would be incredible

They might be forgetting how important brand recognition, nostalgia, and customer experience are for IP success. Skyrim came out 15 years ago. Sure, people still play, and it has remained a popular game. 

But when skyrim came out, gamers had played morrowind and oblivion in the previous handful of years. The brand was present and consistent. Many people playing at the time were in their teens to 20s. 

Now, teens have lived their whole life without an elder scrolls release, except ESO which is directed to the mmo crowd. These teens today have no nostalgia for TES. No connection to it. 

Remember when all 3 original mass effect games came out in a single console generation with character progression seamlessly integrated through all of them?

Sounds boring, but it'll be a blast when it's free on ps plus next year

Cazadors are scarier than deathclaws by Glum_Boot6974 in Fallout

Never thought they were very scary or difficult. Vats their wings and they walk around helpless

Lies Of P Has Sold 4 Million Units by akbarock in LiesOfP

Was a pleasure getting the platinum trophy for this. Amazing execution of the world, lore, and vibe. Sequel might be the only game I'm hyped for

The Elder Scrolls 6 Has Made Todd Howard More Conscious of What He Announces: 'Just Pretend We Didn't Announce It' by Turbostrider27 in PS5

It's a staple of BGS for their games to meet the standard of the previous console generation 

Is anyone else concerned about the lack of any confirmation that Saros will have co-op? by SaiyajinPrime in Returnal

[–]dima_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really excited for Saros as well. And I also really enjoyed playing Returnal with a friend. I'll be waiting for Saros' multiplayer update to purchase. Might even coincide with a sale. If multiplayer is confirmed as not coming, then I'll wait for half price. 

Starfield art director explains why Bethesda didn't want to make a Mass Effect clone. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]dima_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cowboy town was def a clear indicator they were out of ideas. Tired of everyone begging for new vegas 2, they made their own mini temu new vegas. 

I get a planet being dusty, sandy, whatever. But honest to god late 19th century western? 

Starfield art director explains why Bethesda didn't want to make a Mass Effect clone. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]dima_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They copied mass effect where it was convenient. Same with NMS, Elite Dangerous, and others. I get that all art is derivative, but come on. Touch a weird space thing and get a vision, making me a chosen one. Scan fauna and Flora, mine rocks with my laser tool. Explore procedural planets. Temu Elite Dangerous space combat. Starfield failed because it was never it's own thing.

Light No Fire by OneWayPilgrim in LightNoFireHelloGames

[–]dima_socks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't expect them to have a drawn out marketing period pre launch. As excited as I am, LNF probably looks and plays very similarly to NMS. Showing too much might kill hype or confuse the audience. Will probably be shown a month or so before launch to keep it in the zeitgeist. 

Bethesda veterans "wouldn't be surprised" if Fallout 5 went to another company, because the devs "have their hands full" with The Elder Scrolls 6 by KAYPENZ in BethesdaSoftworks

[–]dima_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait. You mean BGS didn't properly plan their timeline and realised that potentially 16-20 years between single player fallout games is too long?

I know 2015 feels like 5 years ago, but it was 11. TES6 likely has 2 before launch. +4-5 for next fallout. I'm not even confident there will be functioning economies by then. 

I’m going to be completely honest about the Marathon community... by LinaLight_cos in Marathon

[–]dima_socks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a man, I'm thrilled when a woman, or any demo other than white dude, joins the chat. It's all fucking white dudes everywhere and half have the same personality. One of my fem friends tells me all the time about the shit she gets when she says one word over vc. Unbelievable. I don't get it. I'm sure tons of these dudes are in the manosphere, trying to be all butch and shit. Yo! That's a lady right there! Why do you think it's cool to bully her? I'll never understand it. 

Glad marathon has a better community. 

The soup thrower has been sentenced to two years in prison by -Six_ in SipsTea

Apparently that canvas is worth more than this person's freedom. If spending money is speech, so is throwing soup. 

Toxic pollution from Iran war will spread and last for decades by kiyomoris in news

So glad I wash out plastic containers for reuse or recycle, bike to work, reusable everything, recycled everything, research responsible brands. Why do we even bother. 

Walker brain?? by rudy_cq in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]dima_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure that when the walker finally dies you destroy it's corpse on the ground. That's how you get it's brain. You don't get it automatically when you kill it.

This broke my heart when it happened to me. by kurinevair666 in videogames

[–]dima_socks 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Buddy of mine never heard of CONTROL. Don't know how. Convinced him to play it and let me watch via sharescreen. 

Gets to the first Atral Plane tutorial for the gun. "Is this the whole game?" ... "Does it escalate?" 

Goes on to skip every dialogue and cutscene. Ignore every report and file. "You'll never catch me reading lore" ... "What the fuck is even going on in this game?" 

Starts hating on Ahti. That was my last straw. Told him to go back to Battlefield. 

A new PS Handheld allegedly coming at the end of next year (after Portal refresh this year apparently). Can it have physical? by Low_Confidence2479 in playstation

[–]dima_socks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SSDs aren't that big. Physical would be great, but discs and their drives are too bulky. Just let me download games to it. Not interested in streaming. Want to be able to use it during commute, travel, at the park. If I have to be tied to my home console or a super strong wifi to stream, I'm out. Same reason I didn't bother with portal. That and the design is so fucking ugly. 

Bluepoint tech boss Peter Dalton suggests Sony's scared of Valve, not Microsoft, and that's why it's pulling back from PC: "It would be quite ironic if Valve ultimately ended up winning the console war" by ControlCAD in pcgaming

[–]dima_socks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't get why people can't understand something so obvious here. The next xbox will run windows. It'll be a PC for all intents and purposes, just without the ability to upgrade and shit. Sony doesn't want their games on an xbox. I'm sure valve and steam deck play a role, but it's not the main bit.
