Because MGS3 MP and MPO MP were very fun. MGS4 MP was alright (once you got past the ordeal of making like four different accounts) for a couple weeks until everyone who played it was a GOD OF HEADSHOTS.

If they'd release Fallout 3 and New Vegas without memory leaks and stable framerate at the very least I'd actually be interested, after a while all my playthoroughs were stopped by the bugs (and not Cazadores) so I'd be glad to play the game in peace.

Thinking of Fallout, did anything ever come out of the "Fallout 4 allows mods" promise? I didn't hear anything about any mods for the console version.

They should do the same with FO4 :smug:

Seriously though,FO:NV was the buggiest console game I've ever played. Absolutely disgracefully bad. FO4 mods have just started coming to Xbox one and should be on PS4 soon!

Yes, weirdly Xbox One got mods as a timed exclusive this month, I think PS4 is getting them next month.

Edit: to be clear, I think this is the same mods you can get for the PC version, so who knows how well they work on the console.

Actually a fallout 3 HD collection that had fallout 3 and new Vegas and all the dlc would almost invalidate every buying another open world game this gen. That would be an insane amount of content.


And I'd still wait until it hit like 20 bucks on a sale before I pick it up.

As a publisher and producer they've been making amazing stuff (Dishonored, Doom, Wolfenstein) but as devs they've just lost it.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
I'd play Morrowind again because that was actually good in story, character development, world, writing, crafting, everything. Despite the limitations of the time I'd rather have that combat than the poo poo that followed. Nothing afterwards has beat it in where it goes and what you do.

NBA2K16 has a few training clips for basic controls and looking at controller settings for tutorial and gently caress 2K.

Didn't they basically do Morrowind in the Skyrim engine as some kind of fan project.

Finished Uncharted 1 at the weekend. Totally fine but unspectacular game that really struggles to impress in 2016 but I only really got the collection for UC2 and 3 so that's the real meat this week.

Skywind is never going to come out because they want the whole thing to be voice acted.

EH, a few of them do happen, but due to being done entirely by amateurs in free time, the production cycle is years and years, and by the time it actually happens, 99% of everyone has forgotten about it.

Putting in a system that let you play through the campaign co-op. Even a GTAO system where they just dump you into the map and let you do whatever would have been better.

Why did Metal Gear never get a mission creator? There are like 5 different open world mission types, how hard could it be to have people make them. It's just spawn enemies, spawn objective, etc.

Creating a creation tool that's intuitive and powerful but easy to use for the masses is difficult. That said there is some crazy stuff coming out of DOOM's SnapMap that people have managed to make.

Doubly so if it has to work with a controller. A mouse and keyboard are way more suited to that sort of thing.

MGS V doesn't even have a proper story or ending, so when in the half decade long development period would they have had time to add in bonus features like a mission creator?

I'm one of those people who played the unholy poo poo out of console Skyrim. Hundreds and hundreds of hours. I'll do the same in a remake so I'm hoping the rumors are true. I can't imagine them remaking either of the last two Fallouts so it's probably a sure bet.

its somewhere hidden in the almanac, but generally unless you adjust wages you can assume its divided among your education levels, college earns more than high schools which earns more than no education. you assumption is correct i think, but im not sure, you can see it when you select the building, it shows the wealth requirement right there. i personally never both with mansions, they are huge and offer little space. i set up a bunch of tenements, and when someplace has a spot open and i need nothing else there i jam in a house. later you can upgrade those tenements to the way better apartments. in the final era you can also upgrade them to modern apartments, but watch out with that as they are way more expensive which can lead to widespread homelessness

note that while homelessness is bad, its a fools errand to give everyone a home. you will always have shacks and its practically unavoidable. put down a fair amount of housing sure, but focus on other factors to improve your island happiness. health and religion are easier to raise and have a bigger impact. simply raising wages and bribing faction leaders helps a lot too. liberty is extremely easy to raise but doesn't have that much effect, and safety is fairly simple as well for a decent effect

This is from a few pages back but how do you tell which ones are even the faction leaders, I've been trying to see for a while.

Dynasty Members have that too. Not sure about the PD, but I think they start showing up when protests and riots disperse. It's probably similar to the way that Managers show up.
