Are you sure you don't want to X about something on X?

I'll look at those, do you suggest selfhosting webpages over something like GitHub?

He actually said they are now called X's.

It's been very common in my 3 weeks on Lemmy, it's probably more common to see 100% upvotes.

 

Feel free to let everyone know what you're currently playing, recommend some great titles from yesteryear (especially on sale).

Fallout 4's announcement was a breath of fresh air after years of game trailers with exponentially long delays. It was the first time in the video game industry that we were experiencing multiple year periods between the announcement and release.

When Bethesda put up a countdown clock on their website in June, we had no idea that what we were going to be shown would release in November of the same year.

I think the whole industry changed its outlook on announcement windows from how much hype came from not just the announcement that a new Fallout was coming for the new console gen, but the excitement that we'd actually be able to play it within only a few months.

IMO the RPG elements were not as nice after having played The Witcher 3 just a few months prior, but the feeling of being the wanderer in a wasteland was still very cool and I enjoyed the building additions.

The Pip Boy might have been a bit of a flop, but the application itself was still a cool novelty addition to the game for 2015. I do wish that second screen applications had grown and gotten better, but it appears they needed to be good from the start for wide adoption.

The colour palate was massive improvement over the beige green and browns from the PS3/360 generation, I still have no idea why so many games used to have no colour to them.

There aren't that many games that have as much of a mod scene like Bethesdas games, if you don't already have the game and are going to buy it, get it on PC if you can. Also make sure to buy the GOTY Edition with all the DLC, as there are many mods that are dependent on all of the content.

I would also avoid the Creation Club and get accustomed to the NexusMods page, you should download and setup Vortex Mod Manager which handles mods fairly well.

In order for mods to work on the PS4, within Sony's required limitations, mods themselves on consoles can't be much more than short in code length. So the Creation Club which was designed for consoles does not host the same quality in library.

Fallout 4 got an 88% on OpenCritic with one reviewer saying this;

Bethesda has created another game you can lose your life in. New experiences just keep coming, and you always have another perk to unlock. ~ Game Informer

The game with all DLC is -75% on Steam at $9.99 for the next week, even cheaper in my region with AUD.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

I had bought this on GOG a couple years ago and had intended on getting back to it, it has taken me a few hours to wrap my head around what this game actually is as I was trying to complete all the quest for the first main area Fort Joy, but after watching Divinity: Original Sin 2 is an RPG Lover's Dream by Ghostcharm it's clicked and I am trying to be more open to not winning every situation as if it was a more genuine adventure.

With a 93/100 on OpenCritic for the original release, PCGamer had this to say;

Playing Divinity: Original Sin 2 is uncannily like playing a tabletop RPG. The way that Larian’s sequel embraces player creativity immediately conjures up memories of days spent sitting around a table, asking the Dungeon Master if I can attempt the last stupid idea that floated into my head. And like a good DM, Original Sin 2 usually answers that question with “Yes, you can attempt it.”

My only regret is that I got it on GOG as it was cheaper, which has made mods less friendly without the Steam Workshop, but it was a lot cheaper at the time and hasn't gone below $15.74 on Steam since.
