Aren't all Bethesda games pretty much sub-standard for what AAA games are supposed to be like? :crazy:

If you're unfamiliar with the universe, DMS is still worth it. If you know what you're doing, it's probably okay to skip straight to DF. It basically has more of everything, except rails. Got high hopes for Hong Kong.

Except you don't need a 1000-buck rig to play PC games. And I'd bet that only the small percentage of hardcore gamers who have to have all settings maxxed out does. An average laptop can handle a majority of games these days. And most younger people already have a PC in some shape or form for...

Bethesda is the McDonald's of RPG developers.

'Nuff said. Also, I remember the excitement about FO3. We all know how that went alright. Fair enough - we have awesome stuff like Divinity OS, PoE, a new expansion for Shadowrun coming up etc. etc. But not really anything in the same veign as FO that scratched that kind of itch (sadly...

Graphically, Witcher 1 probably looked better than that trailer. Animations are choppy as all hell, poor dog. Also, WTF is with all the steampunk shit? Jesus H. Christ, someone give Failthesda a link to the Vault so they can read up on the setting *sigh*

Trailer looks like arse to be honest. Then again, all CG trailers do. Hope the actual game handles the topic with way more finesse and options to choose your stance. Also, I can already bet that Jensen's backstory will be a big facepalm story. I mean, we've got a choice between "miraculously...

It's also more polished, less linear, has more varied gameplay, and a more intuitive interface. All at the cost of being more of a "themepark RPG". *Shrug* I like both equally, but for different things. I did get more mileage out of FO2 than FO1, that's for sure. Also note that I'm talking...

Well, I did comment on it while the sale was still on, so your fault for not noticing :P

Fallout for the gameplay (combat flows better, more different *useful* weapons, more effective approaches to progressing, better balanced). Arcanum for the world and setting. Also, crafting is a big plus. More or less tied on the (main) story - Fallout is more coherent but also more cheesy...

Too early to tell honestly, but seems like typical fantasy RPG stuff. You're tracking a murder, there's evil magic involved, plus there's the looming threat of "The End of All Time" that you somehow are destined to stop. But, it's very tongue-in-cheek, so that's acceptable IMO. At least it...

Divinity: Original Sin. It's like BG2 plus TOEE. On crack. Best game since I don't even know. It's awesome, that's all.

Good choice. The Wolf Among Us is amazing. Never tried Walking Dead, though, not really into the zombie theme, myself.

Is Torchlight II worth it at this point? Have they fixed the performance issues/stuttering?

Most memorable - certainly the optional Balor boss in TOEE. Also the hardest bloody fight in the game (level 20 in vanilla at level 10 PC cap), and one of the hardest bosses in general if you go in unprepared. Also the final boss of NWN:SoU and the tower level leading up to it.
