Ι've been replaying Fallout: New Vegas and this dialogue with Caesar feels particularly relevant, considering that Fallout Amazon (and the franchise in general) is essentially BoS porn by now. "The BoS is a dead end, it's been 200 years and they still behave like scavengers". Meanwhile, this...

"Look how they massacred my boy", part... 7 or 8, I've lost count by now.

Replayed it like crazy in the past few days. 20 years, and yet still I cri everytiem :sad: On a completely unrelated note, I also just realized that it's been over 14 years since I first registered here at NMA. #FeelsOldMan

All intelligent life you encounter is humanlike/bipedal (bone-armored apes are the main enemies, pink-purple cuddly cat/bunny-like beings are the "good" aliens) or "machines", nothing really original or ground-breaking. The story is also "meh". Hostile aliens threaten the world, the...

Bioware announces an "alternate trailer" featuring the female protagonist: Female fan hillarity ensues: Sigh...

Erritis and especially Rhin are probably the only companion NPCs that weren't typical Biowarian stereotypes. Other than that, I was intrigued by The Genocide, that group of 5 psychics that hang out at Totally-Not-The-Smoldering-Corpse-Bar, and, for some reason, that injured Stichus that you can...

Probably none but the extremely optimistic types expected "a new, bigger and better PST" or something like that. However, the PST angle (and the fact that they earned 4.2 million dollars on their kickstarter based EXACTLY on that angle) set people up for larger disappointment in case certain...

The problem with this game is that its original marketing depended heavily on the Planescape: Torment angle, thus setting pretty high expectations for it. If it was simply titled "Tides of Numenera" and dropped completely any possible connection to PST, "spiritual succesor" or otherwise, it...

Dishonored 2 is probably my GOTY. With "honorable mentions" going to Tyranny, Civilization VI and This is the Police. Stellaris would probably be included in the above if it had been released in a more "complete" state, but having to wait for 4-5 expansion packs/DLC in order to enrich the game...

That's precisely the reason why I always loved Garrett as a character. He steals to "pay rent" essentially and lives life for himself and only himself, only being forced to "act" when the greater scheme of things becomes too unbearable to ignore (Constantine-Viktoria betraying, maiming and...

I played Dishonored 2 as Garrett Corvo, no-kill/full-stealth/no-powers playthough, and absolutely loved it. GOTY 2016 as far as I'm concerned, definitely a better THIEF game than the abysmal Thief reboot. Tried starting it again as Emily... and it just wasn't the same. The fact that Corvo is...

Judging by the initial concept I'd say it looks more like an RPG/Strategy hybrid akin to The Banner Saga rather than a full-blown RPG. Could be interesting to see how Obsidian deals with this approach if it turns out to be the case. Looks very interesting, though I too would have preferred a...

It is one of the better ideas, compared to other stuff seen in the game. If you got it a bit later into the game instead of on your first quest, if fusion cores were a bit more scarce so that you wouldn't eventually end up with a limitless supply of them, and if Power Armor was RARE and not...

"It just works". You have to actually stand in front of them and in their way so that you block their walking path and they keep talking to you. It's the only way this doesn't happen.

Quite a shameful display of blatant self-promotion, but my site's review that was originally posted in Greek now has a translated English version as well. http://www.ragequit.gr/reviews/item/fallout-4-pc-review-ragequit-english We gave it a 70/100, our score is also up on Metacritic under the...
