supremebve Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Speaking of Fallout, Fallout 3 is great on the Series X. The graphical upgrades make it look more modern and the framerate improvements means it doesn't feel junky as shit like it did when it came out. Seriously, I loved it when it dropped, but it was a mess technically. I was hoping for a remake, but it honestly doesn't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep meaning to look. I own a disc copy but only have a Series S for now. Plan to upgrade at some point, but I also have such limited time on gaming (I've been kind of building a priority list for this year to drop backlog 2-3 games before year's end... problem is my limited gaming this weekend went to sports games instead).

No, it doesn't. You'll have to buy any of the DLC that you didn't buy previously. I had a couple, so I only had to buy the one that raised the level cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Weird. I can't even get the damn thing to run on my PC anymore, pretty much since they yanked the GFWL nonsense that only ever made games worse anyway. I guess it could be worth checking out, but the one time I got it to run, I blasted my way through the last 3 or 4 main questlines I'd never done (being annoyed by the bullet-sponginess of Overlords the whole time) and finished it just say I had, so revisiting sounds a little pointless. Most of my playthroughs I would get to 10 in all attributes and 100 in all skills and then immediately grow bored. I don't think I ever really saw what was in the some of the buildings at the Mall, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing stuff. And it's still 50 bucks. They deserve to get dragged for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Not sure if it’s good, but apparently, there’s some deal where the Starfield upgrade is on sale, but not the regular version nor the special edition. Fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Since Bethesda has come up..., they just dropped a upscale of Quake II of all things, and it's on GamePass, with the old DLC, a new DLC(?), and a port of Quake II 64. Oh, and working cross-platform multiplayer. That came out of nowhere. i might give that a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I did about an hour after it released. It looks really, really good (on my SteamDeck). I’ve never played any of the Quake games so I grabbed 1 Remaster, 2 Remaster and 4 for probably under $7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is better than no discount, but I really should have started saving up earlier. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Happy Starfield Pre-Loading Day! Now I'll get to look at this thing on my Xbox and wish I could be playing it over just about everything else. BTW, this year is just overloaded with games. For whatever reason, until I was watching Justified on Tuesday and got bombarded by Armored Core commercials, I didn't realize that Armored Core and Starfield are essentially coming out within a week of each other. So once again I'll get to do the dance of "what system will this From Soft game look best on." And then play that for a week before giving up my existence for Starfield. We'll probably need a Starfield thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I've been staring at my Starfield controller and headset for awhile now just itching to play the game. BTW, a note about the headset. I have some buyers remorse. It definitely isn't getting any more comfortable. I don't have a huge head or anything, but that thing is pretty tight compared to my other gaming headsets.

JLSigman Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Not sure how I missed this originally, considering how many thousands of hours I'd put into the first game pre and post Steam.

Death From Above Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 There's another closed beta happening for Skull & Bones, and I state again: I am so fucking curious what this mess actually is at the end of the day. They simply have to release it at some point just to recoup some money, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I’m pretty sure Skull & Bones is subsidized by Singapore and Ubisoft is bound by contract to release it (at some point). So it’s not something they can just cancel or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
