Ever since the announcement of FIFA 21, many soccer fans have been patiently anticipating its release.

Many will fondly remember older Fallout titles such as Fallout 4 and New Vegas. Unfortunately, the legacy of the franchise has been tarnished by the disappointing Fallout 76. Yet fans of the franchise are working hard to bring New Vegas to Fallout 4 through a mod. If the mod is successful fans will no longer have to be divided about which title was better as they will be able to play both at ease....

One of the main complaints players had about Fallout 4 when it was initially released was how they were consistently pushed to do good. Being bad and rough around the edges in the wasteland just wasn’t a real option, and the only real “evil” choice was to join the Institute. That’s why Nuka-World was a revolutionary DLC, because players could finally play as a raider and a morally questionable character. However, that’s not the only choice the DLC gives to the players....

It seems as if the YouTuber Cosmic Contrarian is going to try and incorporate all the possible varieties of putting each and every Fallout 4 enemy and non-playable character into a battle with one another before running out of combinations, because he’s back yet again with another large scale skirmish for Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG....

Post-launch content continues to be a tricky balancing act for publishers, especially for higher profile games like Fallout 4 which are commonly placed under a bigger microscope than other titles. This generation has seen an increase in not only the amount of DLC being offered, but console exclusive or timed content has also become more popular with publishers like Activision. The company added this practice with some of its games like Destiny and more recently Call of Duty Black Ops III, which will release all future DLC would release all future DLC on PlayStation 4 first....

As many players who experienced Fallout 76’s PC beta may attest, Bethesda’s forthcoming open world multiplayer title still has its fair share of problems on the platform, and the company has even gone so far as to say that fans should expect bugs at launch. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean the publisher and developer won’t be attempting to rectify any problems that occur in the game. As a matter of fact, Bethesda recently acknowledged that some players’ claims regarding the PC version’s susceptibility to hacking are valid, and confirmed that it plans to fix these issues....

During its E3 press conference last week, Bethesda announced a number of new additions and updates coming to Fallout 76 as well as a free trial period for the game that is set to end today. If getting a chance to try the game out for free wasn’t enough, Bethesda revealed its Nuclear Winter mode, the game’s own take on the battle royale genre. While the mode was considered to be a “beta sneak-peek” during the trial period, it doesn’t look like battle royale and Fallout will be parting ways anytime soon....

The coronavirus has influenced the gaming industry and the world at large in a variety of ways, such as self-quarantines and cancellation of many events and services. Now, players in Fallout 76 have been mimicking some of the real-world panic in-game. The virus has left many people in a state of intense worry, even leading some of them to partake in ‘panic buying’ mass supplies of goods like paper towels or toilet paper....

Without a doubt, many gamers were excited to learn that Fallout 76 will be offering the first instance of an online multiplayer experience for the long-running franchise, but some were disappointed by the announcement. While the forthcoming game won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, Bethesda Game Studios director and executive producer Todd Howard wants to assuage those discouraged by the direction that the next entry in the post-apocalyptic series is taking that it will not “mark the future” of other games from the publisher and developer....

Developer Quantic Dream’s latest trailer for Detroit: Become Human dropped at E3 2017 yesterday, highlighting the conflict between androids and humans.
