    New Vegas and Windows 10 upgrades- worth it?

    if you are talking about the windows 10 nagware thing, it's referred to as GWX short for "get windows 10". I'm not 100% sure, but I think it may go away automatically this month, since they said they would no longer be offering a free upgrade after the first year. They could change their mind...

    Fallout 4 quest appears to be "heavily inspired" by New Vegas mod

    Every time I think of their inability to actually make some RP in their G, I end up thinking some analogy about gaming that just isn't anywhere near as shitty as what they've actually done. I get stuff like "It's like Square sold Final Fantasy to some other company and the next installment was...

    New Vegas and Windows 10 upgrades- worth it?

    I do enterprise IT work and it seems like I get asked similar questions about win 10 every week by friends and family who come to me for tech stuff. I suggest they only get win 10 if it is on a brand new machine and leave their working win 7 box alone. (and block the gwx stuff) Win 7 will still...

    Share your most favorite quotes from the interviews with Bethesda on FO4

    Except, for the life of me, I can't think of a single year in which that statement would have been true. FO4 is just such lazy bland trash, that does exactly nothing new, that I can't think of any game it is objectively superior to, that was released any time in the past 10 years. There's...

    Why do Super Mutants, Ghouls, and Humans look better in Fallout 1 than Fallout 4?

    Seeing them all next to each other makes the time constraints they had in New Vegas a bit more visibly obvious. While they managed to make something that looks more like Super Mutants should, all of the unique SMs have the same teeth and noses. Most of them have the same jaw/lip setup. Voice...

    Fallout 4 went from Mostly Positive to Mixed in recent reviews

    To be fair, I'm not even sure there are many UI designers left in software development for PCs who know a damned thing about how the user can better interact with the software using the control scheme we have. They're all just following the marketing department's silly decisions and it shows...

    Fallout 4 went from Mostly Positive to Mixed in recent reviews

    Well.. I played the dayz standalone perpetual early alpha (with no visible progress in 3 years) so I can't consider this THE laziest cash grab I've seen, but it is damned close. I get the feeling that FO3 was the closest they will ever come to trying to make a Fallout game.

    Fallout 4 went from Mostly Positive to Mixed in recent reviews

    Honestly, we should have seen it coming with Hearthfire and the popularity of all of the steam workshop house mods for Skyrim. Once Bethesda realized that we weren't lying here at NMA and most of their fans just wanted a virtual dollhouse to twiddle about with and dress up little statues with...

    Fallout 4 rewritten

    At the very least, having your character's initial freedom limited by imprisonment is liable to create some feeling for the PC and their plight and to help you get into their world and form a basic opinion of the factions in it based on how they were dealing with you (prisoners with you, who was...

    "not interested in discussing how realistic things are in an alternate universe post-apoc game w/ talking mutants and ghouls" - Pete Hines 2016 This can't be repeated enough. From one angle, it's the worst possible PR a PR person could do. You might as well say "I don't care about your valid...

    Can we honestly say Fallout 4 is better than Fallout 3?

    The chinese didn't start the war, the Zetans did. For the lulz.

    Name a thing you DON'T hate in Fallout 4

    I dunno they never really explained it in that Revolution series before it got cancelled :P

    Things we learned from Fallout 4

    Vic isn't _just_ a mule. His repair skill is frequently better than that of my character (if there was weapon or gear repairing in the game this may not have been so, but as it was..) and he can use some of the most powerful small guns in the game if you are using a decent sized party to make up...

    Things we learned from Fallout 4

    I think Vic and Cassidy both have fairly reasonable story bits that justify their following the chosen one for some period of time. In Vic's, he was delivered from slavery by the guy and a little bit of info that isn't all that helpful regarding v13 isn't much of a repayment on that debt. For...

    First Impression of Fallout 4

    I totally understand your angle Irwin, I just tend to put maturity on the sidelines sometimes when it comes to trolls, and I come out swinging. After years of dealing with that crap on the net I have about 0 patience for it anymore, especially now that it's done so poorly and without any form of...

    First Impression of Fallout 4

    See what you get for your thoughtful response? It's not worth your time trying to make it understand things, and being nice to it, when it's not here for the purpose of reading what anyone actually says or learning anything or really engaging anyone in dialogue.

    Fallout 4 after replaying New Vegas

    There is an order of magnitude of higher quality writing in that post merely outlining the FONV companion quests than there was in the actual writing of anything to do with companions in all of FO4. They should pay CerberusGate to take Emil's job.

    First Impression of Fallout 4

    Watch out Mr Fish, people will jump your shit and tell you not to "feed the troll" if you engage with it in an attempt to get it to prove it came here for the sole purpose of instigation. I guess "don't feed the utterly boring attention whoring child" doesn't have the right ring to it.
