I bought the GOTY version of Fallout 3 and they didn't fix the installation problem for the DLC on that, either. After screwing around with it for a while, I looked it up online and had to do the copy-paste BS off the disc... which made me wonder if the DLC even had any keys attached to it, or if you could just pass those around friends. Edit: Ah, new page... should mention Anthem... I never bought it, just subbed to Origin for a couple of months in order to play, and that's only because I forgot to cancel my sub after the first few weeks. Basically, I got a much-hyped game for "free", since I doubt any sub money goes to Bioware.

No keys attached. I reinstalled FO3 on a laptop at the time and simply copied and pasted the DLC across from my desktop (also at the time). (edit - if I recall you got ESM files and some other crap, you ignored the other crap and only wanted the ESM files then loaded them like any other Fallout mod) GFWL had really bad security for a Microsoft product. Oh yeah Anthem *shits pants* there we go. Looking forward to DA4 so we can *shits bed* DancingShade fucked around with this message at 13:37 on May 3, 2019 |

Out of all of its sins and misadventures into Korea, at least it knew it was better off as a single player game in the end.

I played through Hellgate London when it first came out and I can't remember much other than being very bored the entire time. It was a real struggle to finish and I don't mean because it was difficult or anything.

ashpanash posted:Sony and Nintendo seem to realize "Games as a service" should mean literally make games (plural) and then offer them through a service. So there are bright spots out there. Being platform owners helps a lot in that regard. Games like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Splatoon 2 don't have microtransactions because they serve as system-sellers, and because Sony and Nintendo own their platforms, they get a sizable cut of any game sales for that platform. The more consoles they move, the more games people buy for their consoles, and the more money they make. The practical upshot of that, of course, is that those games end up being pretty great deals for people who buy games, assuming you already own the console.

Back before Microsoft et al. had DLC fully figured out, you could buy actual, physical discs containing the first two and second two Fallout 3 expansions for the 360. You could, in fact, buy them used from Gamestop, install them, and then return them immediately afterwards for a full refund. For some reason, they stopped doing it like that. I can't imagine why. edit: anthem bad, bioware dead, etc. Random Asshole fucked around with this message at 14:15 on May 3, 2019 |

Knights of the Old Republic is fine. Decent storytelling makes up for a lame and easily broken combat system. It's also a good preface for Kotor 2 which is a much better game. It's the MMO that is loving dire.

Kotor is legitimately one of the best games ever made, for a game based on movies it had no right being as good as it was. It was its own story that was much better than the movies, and that Revan scene is unforgettable. Bioware has fallen a long way since those invincible days. Everyone says Halo carried the xbox - which it did - but they always forget the impact of kotor's presence on the console. It was a killer app.

Yeah it was, at the time it was the best Star Wars game ever made. Have there been better since? I have no idea since I stopped playing Star Wars games with the original Star Wars Battlefront.

It was its own story that was much better than the movies, and that Revan scene is unforgettable. Bioware has fallen a long way since those invincible days. I don't know if i'd call Kotor one of the best ever. Certainly one of the most influential RPGs of all time, since it pretty much codified the Bioware storytelling format they'd started with back in Baldur's Gate and set the standard for roleplaying games throughout the early 2000s. It has its fair share of problems (which only got worse with Bioware games as time went on), but it's a rock solid game. It also had the benefit of being a direct contrast to the prequels to show "how Star Wars should be done." In hindsight it's kind of quaint, especially given how subversive its direct sequel was, but it deserves its place. Important, groudbreaking, solid game, but it has been outstripped as time marches on.

Outside of world first progression raiding I’m not sure why you’d ever want to watch an online pve game on twitch. Variety streamers usually do single player and bounce stuff off their audience for engagement.

idk people still watch poo poo like PoE, but I think it's because the loot is exciting and the build game huge. Two things you'd put in the "massive weaknesses" -column of Loot-based Action RPG Anthem.

Anthem is a gift that keeps on giving. The "positive" subreddit for the game had its own separate Discord but got infected with the alt-right and people who loved the game TOO much.quote:As the title of this post says, the official LowSodiumAnthem Discord is shutting down TONIGHT at 12 AM Eastern Standard Time. This is not a decision we reached easily nor one we like having to do, allow me to explain our position however.

I'm assuming the Venn diagram of alt-right and Anthem fan is basically two balls touching, but the Anthem community must be so small that a couple of radical chuds popping in must've freaked them out.

It is real easy for a discord to get racist, especially when you make a loving swastika skin and then not really apologize for its existence - but hey, I'm sure that was all Discord's fault.
