"After putting in a heroic effort at E3, where Bethesda’s excellent booth took out several awards, and showed off several of the show's best games, they are at it again.
This time they are hosting the 2010 QUAKECON which is being held in Dallas Texas, on the 12th – 14th August inclusive.
And it’s FREE. "
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
Getting free games is never a bad thing and Amazon Luna has new offerings for Fallout fans looking for free adventures in the Wasteland.
Bethesda seems to be growing is stature as a dev/publisher all the time! But man if we had a stronger gaming industry in Oz we might get something like this.
We could certainly do with it, that's for sure. It's only viable for the BYOC crowd though, as console gamers are a weak bunch really, no real-world competative spirit, just online secreative style where you can bad mouth your opponent or jump out if the going gets too tuff.
OXCGN tried to organize several with nice sizable $$ prizes, do you think console owners would come, nope.
No way. I just wasted a bubble
I can't wait for Doom 4 details and maybe news of another Quake!
Also, Prey; I expect something about Prey. Bethesdea bought that franchise for SOME reason and they do have Id Tech at their disposal...what was Prey 1 made on? Ahhh, the plot thickens.
Looking forward to seeing some more footage of Hunted: The Demon's Forge
