KOTOR 2's story is entirely about how Star Wars sucks and it owns. Same reason The Last Jedi does.

Arcsquad12 posted:And yet Obsidian is perpetually condemned for their bugs while Bethesda was forgiven multiple times and only now do they seem to be getting any major public and professional backlash for their lazy bugfixing practices. Bethesda made their games moddable so people fixed them and improved them and everyone forgot about the bad launch eventually. I first played Skyrim in 2015, with 4 years of patches, content, and beautiful graphics mods (all made by fans) it remains the best rpg by far I ever played. From what I understand, FO76 doesn’t have mods, sooooo gl Todd

Video game modding seems like a pretty irrefutable proof of concept in regards to socialism and its effects on industry and society.

Ariong posted:Well, I trust your criticism more than that of anyone here in the peanut gallery with me. Would you say that you are, overall, satisfied with the way PvP is implemented in the game? Because frankly I'm surprised they felt the need to implement it in the first place. Yes, I am satisfied. The game feel like pve with friendly fire. You have to be mindfull where you shot when randos are around and thats a mingame at itself.

What really gets me about this game is that it’s supposed to be their way of breaking into the ~Games as a Service~ market. If it were a regular singleplayer Fallout game then pushing it out half-finished and refusing to refund people would be a profitable, albeit extremely shortsighted, business strategy. However, this is the sort of game which hopes to make its money off of people continually playing and buying. In other words, Bethesda has cut as many corners as possible in the first Fallout game where it actually matters to them whether or not players keep playing it after buying it. Tei posted:Yes, I am satisfied. The game feel like pve with friendly fire. You have to be mindfull where you shot when randos are around and thats a mingame at itself. Well, I’m glad it adds something to the game, at least. However, I think it is to my point that the main thing pvp does is to enhance pve.

It will be like Minecraft Realms where you pay them a subscription fee to host private, whitelist-able servers on their infrastructure. If they support mods at all it will be from a specific pre-approved list under the guise of ~maintaining the stability of their platform~.

Gobblecoque posted:Which ones? New Vegas wasn't any more buggy than any other Bethesda release and just about all of its technical problems were a result of trying to wrangle Bethesda's mess of code and Bethesda pretty much deciding to poo poo the bed on QA. KOTOR2 had a lot of cut content due to LucasArts sucking but what was there was perfectly stable. And somehow, despite them dealing with hilariously bad publishers, both NV and KOTOR2 were still way better than Fallout 3 and KOTOR1. At some point if no matter what publisher you work for it always seems to go wrong and end in a broken mess then maybe its the studio that is the problem?

Maybe, I am not a expert but I heard obsidian problem is size. They are medium size so have problems small and big companies dont have. And are forced to do games for other companies.

NWN2/FNV/Alpha protocol were the only obsidian games that are buggy. 2/3 of those they weren't using their own engines. Dungeon siege 3, PoE1/2 and tyranny were surprisingly bug free, especially for open world RPGs.

Aside from infinity engine knockoffs they have managed to release 2 games that weren't fundamentally broken. Not great considering the extent of their failings on the other games.

I'd love to see a patch notes list (from any studio, but especially for this game) that actually accounts for all the bug fixes, instead of lumping them under "Bug Fixes and Improvements" or whatever. Because I guarantee the first thing I'll be doing post-patch is looking for inventory bug news.

Personally I am beyond isometric games at this point. I played Baldus Gate at release, and Fallout 1, but in 2018 I can't play a isometric game without losing the interest. I don't want companies to stop making isometric games (some people like them, good for them), but my interest is in 3D games. ----- Completelly random awesome Fallout 4 vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d13FuoTugBM Tei fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Dec 3, 2018 |

The worst thing in this entire game is that you can't turn off stars of perk cards. So if you actually had interest in different builds that all included something to some degree you'd need to pick the perk 5 times to get a 3,2 and 1 star version of it.

And I have seen many times where something is a bug to some people, and for others is a usability problem. Or the non-existence of a feature is considered has a bug by a customer. I don't remember a good example to tell you. You should either trust me here, or not. Anyway we have this little anecdote about gandhi... https://kotaku.com/why-gandhi-is-such-an-rear end in a top hat-in-civilization-1653818245 yea, it was a bug, but it added flavour to the gandhi character in the original civi. So the next games replicated the bug, and then it was another feature.
