I haven't even thought about what I'll play next. The combination of the Witcher series being huge (III mainly but the others are big too) and me having a newborn and thus much less time for games has meant I haven't played anything else for months!

So, Bethesda announced today a new Fallout game. Not much was said about it, just a short trailer. More is expected at the next E3. I need to get a new computer....

Oh wow didn't expect a new Fallout game but I guess it might be a spin off like FO: New Vegas and not FO5. Darn dangit if it's a tabletop game or something....

It's called Fallout: 76. It's supposed to be set in vault 76 which a google search tells me has been mentioned in both Fallout 3 and 4 so it would seen this is not a spin off, but Fallout 5.

Apparently it's not Fallout 5 either (which would surprise me since we still haven't even begun pre-development on Elder Scrolls 6, so to get FO4 and 5 before that would baffle me).

Honestly that sounds really cool but at the same time we all know how diffrent the atmosphere can be in a MP game compared to SP.  People with offensive names, trolling, griefing, toxic chat/VOIP and so forth. Not to say it can't be a great game but i'm just a bit burned on MMOs and MP RPGs, hopefully it won't be as bad. The SP aspect with lore and story is what I wan't in a Fallout game, i'm not sure MP is what the franchise needs.
I love TES series but I barely touched ESO though...

Yeah. That's why I gave up playing multiplayer games and MMOs. I'm tired of people and the online gaming culture. Just ruins everything.

Meh. I just don't have the time or energy to keep up with online multiplayer games. I do find it frustrating that studios famed for making incredibly immersive single player games like Bioware and Bethesda are now directing a lot of resource into online gaming instead.

Blame the industry and all the business models that keep raking in the cash... that's what happens when AAA studios decide to dump ridiculous sums of money into 'AAA' games for voice acting, graphics, motion capture, marketing, blah blah blah, insert rants about EA and Ubisoft here. I'm in full agreement with you.

Yea, if this is some sort of MMO, then my interest has been lost.  I guess we don't know enough to say I won't care about it, but I'd rather a full out new Fallout traditional game (or even a New Vegas style spinoff) than an MMO.

You could wait a bit until the GPU and RAM prices drop, but since out economy is likely gonna get worse, might be worth buying now :P. I'd go with a Ryzen and RX combo, damn good value for the money if you're in a tight budget.

I know this is supposed to be a joke, but would anyone else actually like this feature? I wouldn't have to trust Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo with my CC information. It'd allow me to easily choose what card I wanted to chard something on, and it'd make gift cards easier if that's your thing.

You can already do this with the PSN store if I recall as well as steam (save your credit card info that is)

Gotta be careful with PSN, if I remember correctly they had a scandal years back where they were storing your card numbers in plain text :lol

Having a good time with Vampyr. Again, hype seemed to kill or at least impede a lot of the fun for a lot of people. I had zero expectations and am loving it. There's some hiccups here and there but it's a great first-day release with zero bugs or crashes on PC and the game itself is engaging (fun combat without being overly complicated) and a pretty intriguing story and world. The characters are definitely central in this one and I've already had a hard time deciding on who to feast on and who to let live. If this is successful, I could see this being a really awesome series.

It'd be so great to get a cool vampire series and get away from zombies. Not only because vampires > zombies but because my love for the Legacy of Kain series left a big hole in my gamer heart. Not that this is anything like it gameplay wise but they've got a great base to build from for a cool world.

hmm, I know nothing of this game and was bored last night looking through steam for a potential new game and saw this and thought it could be interesting.  There's plenty of zombie games, but I don't think I've ever played a vampire one (well there was that DLC for Skyrim).  Might be interested in trying it out, I'll have to read into it to see more.

All this talk about a new fallout game so I went ahead and installed Fallout 3. For a game as old as it is it still plays and looks really good.

Yea, you really should play that before doing a rerun of 3.  I still like 3 more, mostly because of story and setting, but NV was an improvement on the game.

N++ is fighting for title of 'most difficult game I've ever played.'

It's a rewarding kind of difficulty. It's a platformer that requires speed and precision, and you're on the edge of your seat. Some of these levels are straight up bullshit, but it's such an incredibly satisfying feeling when you finally beat it. I've beaten about 700 levels so far I think, and I've reached one that's just pushed me to the limit. Has anyone else played it (on Switch or PS4? or PC if it's on there too?) - it's one of the greatest platformers ever made in my opinion. Wide range of difficulty. The color palettes are awesome, too.

Celeste is on my list. Matt Makes Games made the Jumper games for PC waaaay back in the day and I obsessed over those games, and a couple others he made, so I know it's going to be a good time.

Yea it's the same studio, CD Project Red. They basically worked on the game since 2012. Basically the only info about the game was the teaser trailer they released in 2013 so the hype has been growing quite a bit since then.  :D
