Part of me thinks that there are fundamental issues with the gamebryo engine that just make it unfeasible to release these games in a reasonable timeframe without significant glitchiness. The games would probably benefit from an engine overhaul, but doing that is a much bigger undertaking and "its what the fans want" definitely isn't enough of a reason for it to happen by itself. Doesn't explain the ui stuff though

It really feels like Gamebryo should have been retired after Fallout 3, it's hard to believe that they keep releasing games on such a janky foundation

If you like Assassin's Creed combined with Batman: Arkham Asylum combat system (including both games' love for a bunch of collectible bullshit some people hate) then you'll like it.

You lose access to the those sublevels. The one other area hat has a missable powerup is the "Misty Woods" area, since the map changes once you reach the end.

I'm kinda disappointed that I haven't run into more than one glitch in Fallout 4. I shot a raider with a pistol, which catapulted him straight up into the air for some reason.

Eh, I think the predictability of Bethesda games is a good thing - at this point anyone who paid attention to their games knows what to do: buy the game 2 - 3 years after release once the ultimate edition is out and preferably on sale and (by now generally stable, polished and compatible) mods fix most problems and enhance the actual good features in the game. Also in Fallout 4 case there is additional reason in that you should wait and see if someone wont try some paid mods shenigans again.

Depends on how creative you get, really. It's not as much a game as an art form.

Look at almost any other game that uses gamebryo. I never had a glitch problem with Civ 4.

If anyone's been on the fence about getting Space Engineers, the developers have announced that the planet patch will be dropping in the next weekly update (ie; early tomorrow). It's also adding some actual enemy critters in the form of man-sized six-legged bugs called Saberoids along with other things like aerospace engines (slightly stronger than basic ion thrusters, but only work in atmosphere). They're ugly planets Bug Would you like to know more?

From the "boy, this is a weird headline" news, the contents of the next Humble Bundle has been announced by a government agency: It'll focus on games made in Singapore. No word on what the pricing tiers will be, but the games involved are... Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms (...which is apparently an F2P game, so I guess it's an item pack?) Ravenmark: Scourge Of Estellion Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?! Rocketbirds: Harboiled Chicken Cubetractor Devil's Dare Dusty Revenge: Co-Op Edition Autumn Dynasty Mooncake Shop

New Sensible Soccer, anyone? http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-11-12-remember-sensible-soccer-jon-hare-returns-with-sociable-soccer Does the version of SWOS on GOG play nice with modern computers and controllers, by the way?

And yeah, "what the fans want" might not be a compelling reason, but their games are starting to show their age, and it's only a matter of time before their world-building can no longer make up for the inherited jank.

Honestly, if they're concerned about quality at all, they can just license loving Unreal. Gamebryo's way past the botox stage.

I feel like there must have been some stuff in those areas because I was missing the last Life and Energy Cells, and didn't see any on the map even with the skills for them.

Late era id tech seems like a pretty poor choice for open world, easy content creation, and modability so I could understand them being reluctant to pick up shop and move over. As mentioned, id has already done an overhaul in prep for Skyrim, so we probably have what we're going to have until the market implodes. Incidentally I bet there's a really funny and interesting email from Carmack explaining in very mathematical and programmatic ways about why they Bethesda engine is liable to explode at any moment.

zedprime posted:Every new Bethesda release lives and dies on its content creation pipeline and mod friendliness. The average person is literally buying square feet of over world and number of interesting dungeons, with the promise of cat girl models they can download sometime in the future, on top of stuff getting as gritty as total rendering overall mods. It will be this way until the center collapses on itself when jank outweighs pounds of content and modability, but so far they've maintained organic sales growth while their releases are getting no better about jank. The average person doesn't download mods.

If we're talking about averages, the average person has bought Fallout 4 on PS4 or XBox One. PC sales are probably super-high too but most people buy and play games on consoles.

It's like the idea that fans are waiting for those valliant modders to patch Bethesda's games. The majority of PC owners likely don't even use mods, let alone whatever unofficial patch you're thinking of.

Didn't you also try to genuinely claim they got rid of Gamebryo for Skyrim, I get liking the games but why someone would keep repeatedly defending Bethesda's terrible engine I have a hard time understanding. It's certainly not the exact same thing as it was in Oblivion and they have improved on it quite a bit but unlike with Quake 3 and Call of Duty, the similarities between what it was then and what it is now are still incredibly obvious and they still share a lot of the same issues.

I think you are mistaking me for being hostile against Bethesda's engine with that valiant modders fixing the game stuff, I don't mind whatever allows them to put any extra holes in the ground to explore during their limited dev time, as long as it doesn't become disastrous some day.
