Other than New Vegas, which game’s protagonists weren’t vault dwellers? I don’t remember Fallout 2, but 1, 3, 4, and 76 were all vault dwellers.

I mean I have done a FO4 replay last year, and just finished replays of Oblivion and Skyrim, where I could go hours and hours playing, in spite of having played all three countless of times before. But in spite of having “new things” to do with outcomes I have no clue about, it’s just utterly boring and the gameplay…

Great review. My biggest concern going into Starfield is that they were trying to do too much with it. After spending a few weeks with it, I can confirm my concerns were validated. It’s a game that presents you with so many incredible ideas—maybe some of the most interesting and (more importantly, this being a game…

Fuel does matter, just not a lot. It is not a resource that you fill up or anything. It really only measures how far you can jump in a single grav jump in your ship. Say for instance - you click on a system right next to the one you are it in the star map, it will pop up the route and the bar will say “30% fuel” for…

Yeah, not having to deal with fuel really made me like ??? with all the different fuel pods and the fuel cost bar when travelling like...ok, who gives a shit? Then I realized it was probably cut because it would make travel just a pita, having to actually stop in each system to refuel, or pay for fuel, or…

This has been my impression with a lot of the game’s systems; I feel like a lot of them weren’t coming together to make the game fun so they just dialed it all back. Things like fuel, environments, etc all feel like they were intended to be a lot more meaningful than they really are. The game frequently feels…

I wouldn’t say the gunplay is bad, it’s cerrtainly the best Bethesda has ever done by a good margin. same goes for alot of the dialgoue. Neither are industry leading though that’s for sure. Bethesda have always been a “Jack of all trades” studio. not the Best combat, the best stories etc... but no other games do so…

I think it’s important to highlight the negative reviews, especially the ones that give specific reasons instead of just “expected more from Bethesda in 2023" or the like. I also think it’s important to point out (and I think it’s a bit disingenuous that it wasn’t in the article) that despite the number of negative…

Devs - You can go anywhere on a planet, explore as far and wide as you want.

I don’t think that the people complaining so bitterly about this are actual Starfield fans, for the most part.

Your first post in 10 months and you can't even get the basic facts of what you're whining about right. Try again next year I guess, lol.

Actually they used the most recent up date to the 5E rules where racial bonuses are no longer a thing. Instead during character generation you get to pick one stat that gets a +2 and another that gets a +1. Its done to move away from racial bonuses. Now different races mostly just change your appearance and give…

It’s funny that so many people said that about Black Flag when it came out. “It’s an awesome pirate game, but it’s not Assassins Creed”. Now it routinely tops lists of fan-favorite AC games, and feels much closer to the original spirit of the series than the RPG trilogy. I’m curious to see where FF goes and how this…

I adore XVI. I will never forget my time with XVI. It was weird, wonderful, had a great VO cast and the most epic battles I’ve seen... really ever in video games. This happens every time a series changes directions. YoshiP tends to take to heart what series fans say, at least according to the media, which cannot be…

It’s honestly a shame, because this *is* the best single player FF game since at least 12, and I’d argue 10 (I found the midgame of 12 to be a snoozefest). The music, characters, writing... it’s all really, really above par (the music especially is the best the series has had since Uemstsu). The world reminded me so…

This is an interesting take, because I played the game on release and remember all of the press and all of the discussion and these seem to miss 99% of what annoyed people.

“Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.”

What is the flat earth argument to why we have never found the ‘edge” of this disc we live on?

FFXIV, on the other hand, has been maturing as it goes on. Everything starts nice, tropey, and simple, but then consequences happen.
