i only play with friends so i dont care much about balance. havent played online recently though. people said online worked better through the nonsteam version but for me it always was a lagfest. steam version eventually got a lot better in that aspect.

they released rise of nations though.

honestly what i want is aoe1 modded into aoe2

I don't remember the msn gaming zone aoe too well. I have been playing aoehd since release and noticed how far they came along to getting online to work. It used to lag like hell, and drop all the time. They turned it around and I don't mind rewarding them with a dlc purchase even if I am going to not play for at least a month.

Is Ron, aomhd, aoehd, all owned by the same company currently?

They've never said they weren't making another Elder Scrolls. There's no reason to think it won't be made. Here's a timeline:

'94 - ES Arena
'96 - ES Daggerfall
'97 - FO
'98 - FO2
'02 - ES Morrowind
'06 - ES Oblivion
'08 - FO3
'10 - FONV
'11 - ES Skyrim
'14 - ES Online
'15 - FO4

It may be far too early to guess. We may just have to wait a couple of years for the announcement. So let me revise my earlier comment to "go finish Skyrim, the DLC, and try out its legion of quality mods." I have 200+ hours into it and I'm not even near done, to say nothing of Fallout 3 or New Vegas.

Not sure what a declining MMO that still has millions of subscribers has to do with whether or not Bethesda will just convert the Elder Scrolls into permanent MMO shovelware with under a million(?) current subscribers for ESO.

Why do you have fallout 1 and 2 on that list?

Bethesda had a nothing to do with the series until they screwed it up with 3.

I put the Fallouts in there because they're a part of the Fallout series and fit the on again off again pattern. I don't know, what do you want from me? It's a short list on a slow game forum. Did I even get the years right? I don't remember looking them up. I probably looked them up. Want to check for me so I can put it in an update?

Not that I played much of Fallout 3 to be defending it, but have fun with being in the minority there. What did they screw up? The title screen? The music? The ongoing hiatus between games? Not enough bugs? Not a lot to work with.

What do you guys think of the new Doom?

I appreciate the fact that it isn't another "kill the Russian/terrorist/etc" game but there doesn't seem to be much more to it than "get to point X, kill monsters along the way".

Got a little over a hour into Fallout 4. The gun play is 100% better than 3/NV. It feels like you can skip using vats.

The only issue is that the story is unmotivating. Unless you are in a shootout, the game feels like a chore. It's going to be hard to find the interest to move forward. It doesn't help that the protagonist voices his lines and seems completely uninterested in the story himself.

Disagree. No I haven't.

The gunplay is a lot better like I have said but being stuck with 4 dialogue options, having to sit through boring conversations, the camera going berserk in the middle of the conversation, the inability to interact with a lot of characters, and more are very demoralizing.

I have less than 2 hours on steam and I might just refund it.

I bought Borderlands 2 Pre-Sequel on sale rather than pay full price on Fallout 4. What have I been actually playing? Plants vs. Zombies, Crypt of the Necrodancer and World of Guns.

I have $59.99 sitting in my steam wallet. Haven't found anything worth playing more than Age of Empires and Victoria 2.

Thank you for bug testing. I will light a candle in memorial when I buy the GOTY version for $20 in a sale two years from now.

its more being a shitty engine than bugs. settlement building is fun yet hilariously bad. I have to unlock perks I find useless, since they depend on using dogmeat or no companion at all, to be able to let settlements trade. its dumb as hell

take it to the fallout 4 thread

Some games I play at the moment:

Don't Starve + Reign Of Giants expansion
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/67580/
A weird survival crafting game with challenging mechanics like hunger, weather, sanity.
(Another Pirate/Sea expansion is coming)

Mini Metro
http://store.steampowered.com/app/287980/
A very abstract puzzle game based on metro/subway railway maps.

Stealth Inc. 2 - A Game Of Clones
http://store.steampowered.com/app/329380
A stealth platformer/jump'n'run with puzzle solving. Sequel to Stealth Bastard Deluxe.

PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX+
http://store.steampowered.com/app/236450
Hyper fast Pac Man.

Hive + expansions
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/43494/
Very good adaption of the excellent "boardgame".
Basically a modern chess version without an actual board and spatial positioning tactics.

Is anyone having trouble with age of empires on this new patch?

I keep having the issue of not being able to see my cursor in game. It's frustrating that I can't play at all.
