    Microsoft shuts down several Bethesda studios, merges others

    Understand, I LIVE in Appalachia and am very eager to please but it just smacks you in the face. I think the most egregious part is you need an Xbox Pass to play it and there's STILL a paid subscription in-game. Believe me, I know. I spent two years trying to get their back catalog of White...

    Microsoft shuts down several Bethesda studios, merges others

    Cynical as corporate pride may be, I at least appreciate any attempt to tell the people who harass and threaten RL friends of mine to fuck off. Thank you for spreading misinformation. Dying Light 2 is in 2022. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1715507/ If you want to know the biggest argument...

    Microsoft shuts down several Bethesda studios, merges others

    I mean, it's better than NOT fixing it. Fallout 76 is good...ish now. (Worse than Fallout 4 still) but turned me off the franchise for six years. I fully believe he was kicked off the Vampire: The masquerade: Bloodlines 2 project because of the accusation, which ruined it. But he bounced...

    The Fallout TV show is way sexier than the games [Kotaku]

    Because they're violent adult mature titles and it seems ridiculous you can slaughter a thousand people but adult relationships are taboo. Romances and one night stands would add to the immersion.

    The Fallout TV show is way sexier than the games [Kotaku]

    I always felt the Fallout games by Bethesda needed more sex.

    Microsoft shuts down several Bethesda studios, merges others

    I mean, being the leftist nutjob that I am, my issue was: 1. The game wasn't nearly as interesting as the first one, plot wise. 2. All of the changes seemed designed to make it more generic as a setting. basically, the whole "real men don't like strong women' bullshit is hardly what's going...

    Microsoft shuts down several Bethesda studios, merges others

    According to Josh, yeah. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pillars-of-eternity-dev-says-deadfire-sales-were-l/1100-6471333/ He outright called them low.

    Microsoft shuts down several Bethesda studios, merges others

    I honestly hope that since Pillars of Eternity 2 failed, they make an offer to Chris Avellone and Sawyer to work on Fallout: Whatever the Fuck You Want To Do.

    What happened to the Lone Wanderer after Fallout 3?

    I am wondering if they're going to retcon the destruction of the Divide from an unbelievably off-kilter accident to Vault-Tec wiping it out.

    So if Caesar had won, what would happen next?

    I wonder if Hopeville's destruction also screwed with NCR's ability to resupply itself.

    What was so special about Hopeville?

    What I think Chris Avellone was going for is that Ulysses is a guy who is unduly obsessed with Pre-War imagery and believes heavily in metaphor having supernatural meaning, perhaps because his tribe believed in communicating through hair styles (which is a real thing in RL). Ulysses was all in...

    The Wastelanders discussion thread

    This is a thread for discussing "Wastelanders" as an expansion for Fallout 76 and what it brought to the table and what it failed to do in terms of correcting the games flaws. Also, the elements of the game that it changed as well as plot. I finished the main plot, the Companion plots, most of...

    Ten Reasons Why Fallout 4 is worse than Fallout 3

    I mean the whole point is fixing the river basin of Washington DC. People have enough water to survive but they'll have an arable fertile land with an abudance of water. People can survive in Saudi Arabia but they could survive better in a temperate forest. But I point out that isn't...

    Starfield is also fucking weird because if you want a Bethesda game in space, you have the Outer Worlds by Obsidian.

    I hate the Evil Within is not getting a sequel but Starfield is.

    Ten Reasons Why Fallout 4 is worse than Fallout 3

    Except the crises it faces are the ones in the modern era. They're not the crises of the Great War. You're literally arguing against your own case. As for the whole point of the setting is that it is not the Roman Empire. You are not playing Caesar (or Jesus). You're playing the guy who...

    Ten Reasons Why Fallout 4 is worse than Fallout 3

    No, it's the sign of a setting...in crisis. It's also the premise of all the Fallout games but Fallout 4. Seriously, you're arguing that the games should be written as to not need the fucking protagonist for the story. I'm dumbstruck. What is the point of playing in a post-apocalypse game if...

    Ten Reasons Why Fallout 4 is worse than Fallout 3

    The benefit of a silent protagonist is you can dictate whatever your character may be out to do. If they don't want the Brotherhood of Steel bringing peace and justice to the Wasteland then getting rid of them is a pretty good idea. Once the Pentagon and Enclave are both destroyed, the Lone...

    Notes on Fallout TV (Return to the Nolanverse complete, Review notes complete)

    Eh, this was obvious planned for a multi-season arc. You blow your load all at once, you've got nothing for the next one.
