So this game has dedicated servers ... fine. But does it have crossplattform-account management?

Most of these “group of people X takes offense in thing Y” shenanigans could be solved if people (not only the offended ones) would learn to differentiate between tropes, memes, comedic stereotypes and artistic concepts.

Budget and Effort ...

I couldn’t find any info on the names in Madden but Fallout 4 had its voice actor record all the names beforehand. There is a list of names that will be pronounced by the robot, If you pick one that is not on this list he wont adress it.

I would assume that Madden works the same?

Graphics - in general - are cosmetic. If it was JUST cosmetics, we could replace every character model with a big grey placeholder box and sell those character models seperately. After all ... it’s just cosmetics.

The initial idea ... to omit the inclusion of quests given and driven by human NPCs ... is actually a pretty genius one given the gameplay context of Fallout 76.

I have bought the game for 10€ about a month ago and while my interest in it seems to fade since last week, I’d consider myself an active player.

What have they added to the game that fundamentally improved the gameplay experience since launch?

I can only think of smaller improvements like terminals you can sell your…

They still seem to have no real idea on what to do with the game, don’t they?

Battle Royale Mode
Raids
Private Servers

I would be very surprised if the NPC update later this year amounts to much more than a story DLC which is basically more of what the game already has enough of, just with human NPC instead of robots and…

How so? The daily atom output through daily challenges is usually 50/70 and the weekly challenged usually reward about 100 atoms.

Their (kinda-)sister studio Zenimax Online Studios released ONE set of armor skins today for 2.000 units of their shop currency. Before that, shop exklusive armor skin packs came with THREE sets of armor (one for every armor class) at 2.200 units of shop currency.

I guess greed is a company wide directive at…

I may have missed something here but isn’t this literally ingame gambling you can invest real money in though shark cards?

Don’t get me wrong ... I really like the idea gameplay-wise and may re-install the game to take a look but that part seems to be a little problematic to me.

Looks like sexy, stupid fun. One of the best kinds of fun.

I thought the same thing about Fallout 76 today.

I would love to see them remaking the 200x line with more articulation as well.

These designs were so cool and the figures from this toyline were quite awesome for what they were.

Bought it for 10€. It’s boring and there is barely anything interesting to do ... HOWEVER ... for 10€ I got a nice game where I can fly around in a mech suit and beat some aliens up for half an hour, until it gets boring.

That’s an okay-ish deal for me.

It’s still a pain in the butt to get Marvel Legends here in Germany since Hasbro took over.

I really hope that I can get my hands on some of those sets (not the ones shown here, but other 80th anniversary ones) though.

- I can do with physical toys/cards whatever I want ... I can sell them, trade, buy them from other people without any interference of the manufacturer

Kosmos usually makes relatively tame/toned down, educational-esque games with cardboard components. It will be interesting so see how deep the city management aspect will go.

Part of me would love to see a FFG-style version of this with absurd amounts of plastic buildings and miniatures though.

I don’t know ... I’ll probably still prefer my Nvidia Shield which lets me stream all my Steam games without any additional charge.

Even if you don’t own a PC it seems to be a better investment to buy games on steam (even with heavily discounted keys if you wish to) and play them through the Nvidia Shield.

Once you…

It’s probably my go-to example for what a perfect expansion should do. Absolutely beautiful.

Sims 4 surely did. Graphics (and therefore art direction) are designed for maximum compatibility with the average hardware of their target audience.

Sims 3 I’d say is actually pretty well designed except for the actual sims themselves. The clothing and the furniture however can be top notch at times in regards to the…
