Completely agree with fallout 3 being better than new vegas. I've recently gone back to both games and fallout 3 is just a better overall product. I'm unsure if streaming them has to do with it because I remember both running far worse, especially once you get deeper in the game but they both seem to run about the same now, which was the only benefit I ever saw vegas having over 3.

2021-03-14 09:37:42 +0000 UTCSo I say this from a standpoint of Iβm not trying to be to critical. But every time yβall talk about sub count on your personal channels going down/up I kinda zone out. I totally get saying hey go check out our channels and stuff, but itβs been more than one episode that subscriber growth has been talked about.

2021-03-13 23:39:51 +0000 UTCif Microsoft owned Nintendo... I wouldn't be playing Smash Bros on the shittiest online service to exist and it would actually be more enjoyable to fight randoms online. I think if they bought them today that'd be great. I wouldn't be playing Breath of the Wild on crappy hardware. Pokemon games would actually have some effort and heft behind them. If they bought them all that time ago, sadly I don't think MS would have managed them well at all.

2021-03-12 18:08:07 +0000 UTCSame here. I am not much of a Bethesda fan though. I would opt for PC if and when.

2021-03-12 18:07:26 +0000 UTCThe intro music is way too long. Keep it to like 5-10 seconds. Otherwise, I've been enjoying the show.

2021-03-12 16:01:41 +0000 UTCI completely agree. This is a blessing in disguise.

2021-03-12 16:01:33 +0000 UTCSpeaking of stages of grief over Bethesda, Iβm at the acceptance stage. I donβt have time in my life to play every game that comes out. Good luck to Bethesda, but I only play games on PlayStations ecosystem. Buuut who knows maybe Iβll be drawn to support them by playing on my PC someday.
