Todd... Why?....
>ha this will show those modders to try and upstage us!
Its bad enough Todd wants to ruin New Vegas, now he's even trying to ruin 4.
So this is just the same shit that happened to Skyrim SE, where mods (well really the script extender upon which 99% of mods rely upon) don't work out the gate due to the new code being used?
>(well really the script extender upon which 99% of mods rely upon)
try less than percent of a percent

It's cyclical and so very tiring. Play another fricking game for 2 weeks lmao
SIRS WE MUST LET TODD HAVE MORE TIME
HE WILL REDEEM
>everything bethesda touches turns to shit
What a fricking disaster, i don't even want TESVI or Fallout 5 anymore, this company is fricking done
The update is fine
>muh mods
The only thing affected is F4SE which will have an update soon
I hate game journalists so much
The update changes nothing beneficial in fact it seems to have removed some character weight because you run way too fast for how many pixels forward you move like one of those floaty indie games
FO4 was always that way, you're only realizing it's shit now.
Nah they definitely broke a lot of shit with this one. The game was playable since the last update(December 2019 or whenever the frick it was)
You're a moron or a drone, I was in the middle of playing FO4 for the first time when the update dropped and characters runspeed is moronic looking now, not to mention load times got way fricking worse for some reason. i have the game on a fricking nvme drive and loading out into the wasteland is sometimes taking over 10 seconds
>GOG lets you manually roll back the game version without requiring the dev to set up beta branches for it
God damn, I have no regrets using this service.
>remembering to delay the update
Just put the auto-update to 4AM or something. I have updates stuck in the queue for literal years.
>delay the update
You can set it to never update. Ignore the "update on launch" cause you can run in offline or use a different way to launch(which is what I do)
I'm still not totally convinced real people actually are fans of bethesda games.
Much less specifically fricking Fallout 4.
It's not Steam's fault. Rolling back a game is extremely easy on Steam. It's Bethesda that hasn't made a beta version available.
steam supports opt-in betas but that's too much work for bethesda
I get it, but they really ought to retitle that to like, "Versions" even though developers occasionally DO use it for betas, most of the time they use it for having separate Depots to pick from, like Terraria Undeluxe, or 60fps Nuclear Throne.
Like, nobody actually uses it for betas.
It's two clicks on Steam. The beta version can be retroactively added as well. The game will self-update to the beta-version of the game that runs mods once selected.
You illiterate moron go learn how to read
>illiterate
>article explicitly avoids mentioning beta depositories on Steam
well shit, i kneel GOG-sama
Is it worth using gog? i have only used steam since i starting pc gaming seriously in 2013.Seems abit tedious to have your games all over the place.But i do like how they give more support for older games.
Honestly, if you aren't specifically Zazzed about GOG giving you installers you can use offline no.
Their service sucks, download speeds are fricking abysmal, their installers are still 32bit only for some fricking reason and also, even though they're dumb enough to give you installers you could use if they ban you, they actually don't believe you own your games and if for any reason they got pissed at you, you'd immediately lose your entire library that you didn't have backed up.
Also iirc there's been a few times where they ripped they've disabled the built in online support for games so you'd have to use Galaxy, but I might be remembering that wrong.
for old games it's fine but baldur's gate 3 takes like 4 hours to update for me since it's 140 gb so apparently gog is doing something stupid
it's garbage for anything multiplayer since they have no servers but it's the perfect service for singleplayer games.
I like how Bethesda keeps pretending that Script Extenders don't exist and nobody is using them even though they're existing since oblivion. My last Bethesda purchase was Fallout 4 in 2015 and I'll keep it that way.
Look on the bright side; it's never been a better time to play Starfield!
Or you could just, you know, not play bethesda games and not have this issue
Bethesda games are a core source of Ganker's pron game usage.
I mean you say that, but a couple days ago I remember reading a post some guy made about skyrim sucking so bad he couldn't get an erection over his baragonian mods.
Ganker is Tsun. They say it's not like they like Bethsda games baka but they obsess over it like a Tsun does over the protagonist.
you mean skyrim
I don't understand why people aren't allowed to play on the version of the game they want for a single player game.
There is a very good change that no one at Bethesda is responsible for this. Software/hardware is complicated and involves a million different intermoving parts made by different people. It's like how if your car stops working you don't know if it's the fault of the car manufactor. It could be the fault of the guy who sold it to you. It could be that part you replaced. It could be the fault of someone who made the part and assured the manufactor it was working.
My most likely guess is that the steam system is less comptable than the gog system with something.
Problem with gog is most corps dont want to work with gog because it offers the game without drm, so the selection is very limited. Corps that make games will always control the market.
>Corps that make games will always control the market.
This is what Timmy thought too, that publishers will bend the market to their will
Nah, didn't work out that way. Consumers would swap to GoG if consumers cared about more invasive DRM. Things like this: all their shit breaking and GoG being the answer to make it work again, is what drives consumers to it.
Timmy didn't buy enough exclusives
Fallout 4 doesn't need mods in the first place. All F4 mods are either bawdwear, some /k/edditors favorite weapon (completely unbalanced in every regard) or making the game look like some troon's meds collection.
>some /k/edditors favorite weapon (completely unbalanced in every regard)
the authentic fallout 2 experience
what's this for then https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/index.html
sadly you can't mod out the mind numbing mian plot without a total overhaul mod, and the main one in progress just got fricked over by the last-gen update.
Todd giving fallout London an abortion is a good thing
todd destroying modding is a bad thing.
Wrong, the game has no nudity yet being an apocalypse with slaves and raiders, obviously it's woke. Modding solves this. Believe it or not but real humans have sex.
The puritans came off the mayflower into the US, so that is the reason you have no nudity in video games. Isn't history weird?
>Steam forced updates are fricking moronic
no shit
Reminder that ppcgamer is literally owned by sony and that is why they are very not subtle always shiting on one and shilling for the other.
They seem to be shilling gog, not Sony
I'm glad I downloaded the gog installer just a month ago. I just hope the mods will still be available for the old version.
Modern nu-developers are gay morons. They could just release a new version of the game rather than slap a patch a 10 year old installs and mess up everybody's mods. Meanwhile, I can look and see 2 separate versions of Divine Divinity 2 in my library. I also have 2 separate versions of Divinity: Original Sin. Why? Because Larian (who are based) chose to not bother the older installs and just release a new version when they push out an Enhanced Edition. Sadly Bethesda are complete and total dumbasses who are btfo by Larian in every single conceivable way.
I played fallout 4
I'm playing fallout 4 right now
what's the last good Bethesda game anyway? Feel like nobody's said anything close to positive for long time
>Patch?
>What patch?
>meanwhile pirate Chads (me)
I really hope Valve eventually adds this. It would be way better than the beta branch workaround.
Steam used to have a more user friendly update system. They got rid of it.
