free update

Hmmmm.... cautious... okay....

Creation Club

Ah okay that's why

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Given the rest of the updates, i'll close my eyes to it. Just disable the menu with a mod, as always, and just forget it was there

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

What is Creation Club, to those of us not familiar with the franchise?

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Essentially Bethesda's way to make even more money off mods.

[–] Sunny@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 months ago

God dammit..

Oh, I'm hoping this means paid, as in the modders get paid and not Bethesda...

Edit: I was wrong..

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Modders can get a cut if they are approved by Bethy. At least now the unapproved ones are free

There was a lawsuit around it and Fallout 4 previously because the season pass claimed to give people all of FO4’s paid content under it. Which official paid mods would fall under. After Microsoft took over, the US courts decided they could use arbitration which I assume since this is being reintroduced means they told the arbitrator they would continue to use them if they continue to rule in their favour

Hmm maybe trying to capitalize on the timing of the Netflix series? I can see people who like the series but never played the games to be interested in them now.

[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 16 points 7 months ago

It's amazon prime, not Netflix, but you're probably right

[–] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 6 points 7 months ago

Totally what's going to happen. Or just people who haven't played it in a while and need an excuse to buy it on a new system

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Which is pretty pathetic given the numbers of game breaking bugs and head scratching performance issues in Fallout 4 for PC. I guess for Bethesda back in the day, fixing the game for the people that already paid for it wasn’t worth doing.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Nope, most of their Custer base are like heroin addicts. Even if its stepped on and cut with ground up to light, they will still buy it. So why bother.

You aren't forced to update the game.

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

On Steam, you have to update the game to play it.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

This is entirely avoidable.

It helps to set the appmanifest file to read only after fucking with it.

On April 23 Fallout: London will be released and you're way better off with that if you want to have a fallout experience

[–] Peffse@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

I hope Fallout London won't have to push their release date back to cope with this change. If Skyrim updates are any indication, this might not bode well.

[–] hal_5700X@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Please don't become the new Frontier.

[–] HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 months ago

Low key I've been checking in on Fallout London every now and then. I have no expectations, as these projects seem to fail most of the time before thay can even release, but if they actually manage to finish it, I'll definitely play it. Another one in keeping on my radar is Morrowind in Skyrim, that one is in a much earlier stage though.

[–] cmhe@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

"next-generation PC" whatever that means.

I do hope that there never will be a next generation of PCs, i am quite happy with my old-gen Ship-of-Theseus-PC, where I occasionally replace some parts.
