    Absolutely insane how little it takes for people to worship a mega corporation that was caught abusing employees and publicly lying for years just the other day.

    I wonder why the video game industry is so bad.

    I never really got in to the game. It was a bit too open and easy to go off the rails and then have trouble getting back to things.

        I never really got into “roll your own character” games. I was never creative enough and would always get stuck on that. Probably why I never got into D&D.

          They could let us customize the MCs appearance like in Mass Effect. I just can’t get into a story where I’m playing as a symbol of hypermasculinity.

            I was kind of hoping they’d do that with Witcher 4. I’m still excited to pay as Ciri but that was my favorite idea for Witcher 4. I don’t know how you’d tie it into the series though.

      My exact issue with games like this. I either railroad myself to the main story into a series of minimap points and never see the world, or i get so lost in the world i never do the 2nd main story mission and get bored

      I had the same problem at first but when I started mixing it started to be more fun. And the great thing is that you can do most quests even when you are done with the main story. So you can just do the main story and then explore the world later. I also found that the main story led you through the world quite well.

      Bought it on Switch, played a bit and never got that far.

      Bought it on GOG too, played even less. It’s cool that save sync works between them.

      I, too, hope to start over and actually play it through this time. I’m definitely going to like it, it’s just hard to get in the habit of playing it and it’s not the kind of game you can just casually launch every couple of months.

    Tbf though it looked good enough on release that no one would rebuy it anyway…

    If they really want to remaster something it would make more sense to do witcher 1 or 2…

      my thoughts too. it’s not that big of a remaster to take money for it

      the graphics have been updated recently and the gameplay tweaks are not that extensive

      i think they are just refreshing the game a bit before releasing the new dlc

    Should be smacking Nintendo. I would have bought a Switch 2 on day one just to play my Switch 1 games with slightly better performance. Now I’m just skipping the console on principle.

      I’d like to smack Bethesda for making zero content mod breaking updates multiple times a year, and Steam too for forcing those updates on a 10+ year old single player game. At this point they have killed the modding scene in favor of paid mods and hyping up their fucking TV show.

      SMACK

      Wait. Are you telling me switch 2 can play my physical switch 1 games? Thats insane.

      I have a good deal for the online expansion through a family plan and I heard they also don’t let me use the GameCube emulator on switch 1!

    rockstar should instead release gta6 without woke, with KBM support (as comes out consoles only 1st), more robust multiplayer solution (APB only much better) and server-side, statistics based(!) anticheats with massive, double-barrel permabans on dbag cheaters. THEN it worths adding more and more content… without that, no expansion worth a penny as the minute you join a game you get force-frozen, locked out, instant-killed, etc. (see: gta5)…

    about cdprj: they still didn’t add TOGGLE ads in CP2077 and remapping keys is still a bug-fest joke… so… tell me about them…

      I haven’t played the older games much, but I can definitely tell you Vice City was woke, San Andreas was woke, IV was woke, V was woke.

      I don’t understand why you’d want them to change now. Clearly the previous games were successful.

      But like seriously, go back to the existing games. Listen to the radio stations, both the ads and the talk shows. Perhaps check out some missions’ plots.

      They make fun of conservatives, cults and American society in general. They ALSO make fun of a lot of things and people that aren’t conservative, but the political right rightfully gets hit more.

    why do we need remasters before the next installment of a game?

    between super mario 64 and super mario world we got super mario rpg. nowadays we have to wait until 12 of our daughters get married to play a new title in the series when we started playing the game in elementary school.

    would it have really killed the gta/fallout franchise owners to spend a few bucks to create a half-assed in between title? they would have generated massive income even if those games sucked.

      I don’t entirely agree with you there. If it’s been a long time between two installments, you generally want to replay the old one first and it’s nice to have the option to play a remastered version if it’s been done well.

      would it have really killed the gta/fallout franchise owners to spend a few bucks to create a half-assed in between title?

      That kills the hype for the next game because everyone goes “oh they’ve lost it”, meaning possibly more work for less money if the highly anticipated game sells less because of it.
