Vault 76 was a control vault with 500 residents, set to open two decades after the bombs fell, so do with that information what you will.

It’s not so much a defense of this as it is a referendum on randomness in games in general, coupled with personal regret at how I budgeted time growing up.

I work near a “hot spot” and you would not believe the volume of people still coming to the place to play. Lots of families all hunting, even lots of old people (like well over 60). Cheap, gets people moving around... It’s smaller now obviously, but there used to be 150 people in the park every single evening.

If by easier you mean less tedious, then yes.

I’m okay with that. To be perfectly honest, I don’t have the time to dump into grinding the way the original games asked. And to be double honest, I look back on my life and think the hours of free time I did have for that were a monumental waste.

To be fair, that was pretty much the case the day the Switch was announced.

And now, the 3DS family is officially doomed.

I stopped playing Pokemon years ago, because most of my “casual” gameplay time is spent playing couch co-op games with my wife. If I’ve got a spare few hours to play something single-player, then it will be something meatier like Civ or BoTW.

It’s the more honest version of the style of “free to play” that isn’t actually free to play.

A REAL fan will drive bamboo shards under his nails before playing, just to make the experience extra intense.

If you’re not miserable playing this video game designed to be fun than you’re a casual! You have to be having the worst time possible in order to get the TRUE Dark Souls experience. /s

Those n00bs an their 60FPS, real hardcore gamers play original unpatched version.

I cannot accurately express how much I loath those people. They don’t give a damn about actual sexual exploitation, all they care about is pushing their faux moral agenda.

Oh they won’t ban The Witcher.

I think the Witcher III is a pretty definitive test-case for this scenario. There’s definitely an anti-anime stigma attached here.

Folks over at LupieSoft made a interesting point (I read in a techraptor article), that they believe if they made the exact same game with 3D realistic art style, no one would mind.

Can’t say I disagree personally.

I’ll be sad if Sims 4 gives way to Mobile (despite knowing a bunch of really awesome people who worked on the previous Sims Mobile game)

I have been playing The Sims since the first game on both console and PC. While The Sims 4 is not perfect, it’s not this dramatic end of the series because the devs are not doing exactly what some of the people in the forums want.

Even powerful computers today can have trouble if you give them Sims 3 + all expansions + a bunch of store content. It was ridiculously resource hungry, Sims 4 is clearly the superior game if only because it’s actually optimized.

Honestly, I prefer 4 far more to 3.
