Ohhh okay. So even though this game is missing 80% of what made fallout 3 and 4 playable, (followers, quest givers, dialog with actual dialog choices, an actual game, a narrative besides “follow the overseers diary entries and read them”) it does have “walking” and “outdoors” which makes it exactly the same.
And

why do people using laser swords that instantly ignite fabric wear giant, floor length robe-dresses with massive sleeves that cover their hands?

the cities of fallout 3-4 and NV are filled with towns of dozens of people with work schedules, children, families, and interesting quests.

here a bunch of books on tape give you random fetch quests that work 15% of the time.


in 80 hours of the game i’ve managed to finish 5 quests.
all the others have enemies that dont spawn, quest markers that point at nothing, quest items that deactivate, or just randomly fail while i’m walking down the street.

meanwhile the enemies that DO appear have weapons pointing sideways, and the cap system is

there’s an overseer tape where she yells that she’s seen you and your other 76 dwellers launching nukes at each other and she asks WTF is wrong with you you think this is a GAME?! WHY AREN’T YOU REBUILDING AMERICA YOU’RE JUST NUKING RANDOM GAS STATIONS

it was a cute meta joke while slogging from broken quest to broken

so 1/10th as many stores as they hoped still accounted for 80% of the revenue they projected? If they’re able to get the 5,000 shops they wanted they’d be 800% funded...

you think its DARKER?! like 7 people are killed and 2 are likely beheaded in that movie

AND THE MOB RUNS EVERYTHING 

:-O I might finally be able to finish more than 20% of my active quests?!?!

...unlikely.  But, at least i can go from storing 3 guns to maybe 4 or even 5!

man, when you find out about customer rewards programs that have existed literally for 200 years, you’re gonna crap . a brick...

The trail you leave of that one time you had a 99 cent Whopper sure is something for you to be pants-wettingly terrified over.

OMG LOOK ITS YOUR SHADOW

HOW DID IT KNOW YOU’D BE HERE
HOW?! 

I heard that if you go into a store
they know what your face looks like :-O
and maybe even what you DRIVE

i could honestly steal your identity with less information than that...

one hour into the game i grabbed the power armor in the pharmacy.  take THAT, tiny possum!

i never liked how my supposedly 7 feet tall, 400 pound armor wouldnt dent a molerat if i dropped 100 feet on it.

with the right in-game upgrades to the armor, anything i land on shatters, and running into someone at full speed knocks them off a building and breaks limbs.

brought a REALNESS to the game that nothing else

now now, as with all apps, once my 4 year old iPhone SE is done playing the game, you Android kids can have the leftovers of last year’s hits!

oh i would love a more extreme hard mode, but your comment reminded me- we got a lot of complaints that it wasn’t hard enough, but we could check the user data and saw that 1 out of 100 people ever played it on the hardest difficulty.

We assumed either a lot of people never changed it, or more likely, those that few

Skyrim runs on the switch and Skyrim was a lot more intense than Reckoning ever was, unless there were some hidden memory leaks i was not aware of

Do Kotaku staff also write the StackSocial summaries on Kotaku? It seems to be in the same style as the kinjaDeals writeup.

Is anyone certain if that 3DS charge cradle would work on the 2DS XL?  The size and location of the charging port make me think it would but possssibly not

Elder Scrolls has about half as many players as total number of people who’ve watched the Super Bowl.  I’m pretty sure a lot of people have heard of football 

I worked on that game for two years and was excited for our early prototypes of the sequel and the MMO.

I’d be just fine playing the original on Switch!
