    Contraptions Workshop

    Latter-day Bethesda knows something that we are constantly forgetting: If you market your game at the crowd they are targeting, you don't have to care about reviews. The people they are making this crap for: A: Don't read. B: Are mentally incapable of dealing with ideas and opinions of others...

    Vault-Tec Workshop Pics

    optimism is not a good source of ideas. It's mental masturbation at best if your ideas are not linked to real world possibilities. Bethesda doesn't see that they've done anything wrong with this, as we can tell by the continued pattern of shitty nonsense workshop dlc, so there is exactly no...

    What faction did you pick in Fallout 4

    Without the existence of previous fallout games to give meaning to the many symbols and setting elements that Bethesda "borrowed" there is very little believable world building in Fallout 3, and it tends toward being a mishmash of different quasi-amusing locations with very little to tie them...

    The most facepalm worth article ever. "Fallout 4 is a good rpg"

    I don't know what would be worse, having Nuka World be a tiny little dlc with not much going on, or having it be the biggest one yet while being based on a concept that is so inherently stupid. I could easily see them doubling down on big flashy idiocy at this point, instead of just lazily...

    Fallout 4 - Far Harbor Official Trailer

    To put that in perspective, Goat Simulator has an 88% approval rating on steam reviews. It's not that either one is a great game, it's just that they review well among the people who met the prerequisite lack of good taste required to purchase the product in the first place. I'd assume the...

    Fallout 4 after replaying New Vegas

    What's even worse to me is that the story of Fallout 3 doesn't look anywhere near as insane when compared/contrasted with that of Fallout 4. I can forgive a water pump at the mouth of a river all day compared to the makeup and "goals" of the factions in FO4 and the hamfisted binary choices that...

    Bethesda 2016 E3 showcase

    considering the multiplayer in the new Doom, I'd give a new quake multiplayer game a wide berth until they prove they can actually make an arena shooter where player aim/skill pays off and time to kill is reasonably short and punitive.

    Fallout 4 - Mods Now Available for Xbox One

    I know this guy is just a lame troll, but I have nothing better to do than type this at the moment: 1: There's a reason New Vegas doesn't have "interesting dungeons" It's that DUNGEONS belong in a swords and sorcery fantasy RPG, and FALLOUT is not one of those. Trying to make the term...

    Fallout 4 - Mods Now Available for Xbox One

    "We can't wait to see what you create! (So we can misappropriate it and sell it to console kids and give you nothing for your work, because our EULA says we can)" Fixed.

    Fallout 4 - Mods Now Available for Xbox One

    Feel free to support your assertion that the gameplay of FONV is "pretty bad" with evidence indicating that it's somehow worse than the gameplay in either Fallout 3 or 4 (or any game of similar genre and style) in any way. Keep in mind that "gameplay" transcends just the shooty bang bang parts...

    Fallout 4 - Mods Now Available for Xbox One

    I seem to recall Fallout NV NOT having terrible gameplay beyond the combat focus actiony rpg with guns thing they inherited from Fallout 3 and had pretty much no way to avoid. Even when faced with that, they handled it correctly and attempted to give us some choice beyond just kiting enemies and...

    Fallout 4 getting increasingly negative reviews

    What would be more streamlined? A single button dialogue interface that just says "Yes" when you push it? That's not even that far off from their current 4 buttons that all mean "Yes" design philosophy.

    Super Mutants: An Article on what Bethesda has done with them in Fallout 4

    I'd say blatant handwavium unsupported by the writing in the game is worse than quoting something without context. If there are huge plot holes, filling them with guesswork when Bethesda couldn't be bothered is not really the best way to go. If you have to resort to "For all we knew" you might...

    Why Fo4 fucked Fallout lore

    So wait.. San Fran is racist somehow? It contains a bunch of Asian people in stereotypical roles, yes, but there's a reason for that: http://www.sanfranciscochinatown.com/ New Vegas contains a bunch of people acting like stereotypical denizens of the town's past. So did New Reno. So did...

    Fallout 4 DLC revealed

    TBH, the dino thing does look like a lumpy cross between a Guar and Wanamingo. Not sure why it's supposed to be a scary monster tho. It looks kinda cute even in mid attack.

    Creation Kit and Bethesda.net mods are out

    The real question about cats for me, is that if they still exist in the world of Fallout, why aren't they giant mutant RadCats? Almost every other animal in the world of Fallout up to this point is not a pre-war creature. Look at other domesticated animals like the cow.. Do you see any actual...

    Fallout 4 DLC revealed

    Yeah, that will totally happen with Bethesda at the helm. They just live for integrating things correctly into the established lore of Fallout.
