An indie nowadays can easily match what a AAA could do decades ago so that's not really an excuse. The quality of Fallouts intro is down to mood and writing not budget and resources.

It seems very unfair to me comparing the intro to what it was a AAA game back in the day to an indie. Not to mention at the time Ron Perlman wasn't a super star like he is now yet so he was a lot more affordable to get; and at the time also videogames weren't nearly as popular and you could get away with paying voice…

And i'm kinda still waiting for the reason why she wears that outfit.

I explained in the article what spurred it. Did you miss that or not believe it? There were allegations last week that Sarkeesian lied about informing the police about harassment. A critic of hers had a person from the SFPD on audio saying they hadn't heard from Sarkeesian. That was certainly a story I felt we should…

i think internet imposters have real celebs to go after. will check out the vid, thanks. (and likely a distant relative- at valve- it's a fairly common last name in southern India).

nope- never played dark souls/ fallout/ chrono trigger/ freespace 2 (or 1 is suspect) ... my gaming probably slowed to a crawl somewhere in the quake era, once it left the keyboard / mouse combination for those crazy controllers which felt were a bit like rubbing my head and stomach in counter-clockwise directions…

Dude, you are awesome. Thank you for taking the time to thoroughly answer this question with thoughtful, honest responses. I actually may have other questions. Thank you for offering the option of asking you some more relevant stuff, and I will definitely check out some of the games you've mentioned. …

Eh, by "poor design", they mean stuff like...giving people skill specializations that don't match their stats, or giving people skills that don't compliment each other well (like making your low strength, low speed guy focus on melee). As long as you can handle basic RPG stuff (specialize your characters with…

While I'm sure I could find examples that would fit her frame in the video, I think that the modern Fallout games (and probably the older ones too, though I have less experience with those) actually avoid this trope much better than most. This is largely due to what appears to be a simple random sex assignment code…

GOG is amazing and I am really glad they do what they do.

The worst is when I'm sleepy. I assume it's a similar phenomenon to morning wood. But it's freaking annoying how in every boring-ass meeting I wind up rock hard.

It feels like the demon of poor decision-making has your most sensitive body part in a vice grip and won't let it go until you bring him an offering.

like awesome. Like you just landed on the moon, conquered it, built a bridge, and then a skyscraper.

I missed out on Morrowind, but as for Oblivion, I couldn't play the thing at all until mods fixed everything wrong with it (mostly the randomized loot, partly the absence of a sensible leveling system). Skyrim was a pretty big improvement, and perfectly playable before any mods, but the skill tree system was pretty…

This has been squarely near the center of my radar for the last few months. I don't know what to do with myself, with all these fuckin ridiculous space sims coming out.

This and Star Citizen will most likely push me toward buying a catheter bag and IV set up so I never have to leave my PC chair again.
