There's only so many times you can die of Cholera in a video game and not think "Oregon Trail did it better" If Bethesda tries it, you can bet it won't even be fatal, because that would be hard.

As someone who played xcom & tftd when they were brand new in the 90s I was a bit disappointed at first with the last reboot (EU) because it was quite a bit simpler than the originals, but with the expansion and the long war option I was a lot happier with it. The added options for MECs instead...

Here's one thing to remember when dealing with the Beth fanboy crowd: They spend countless hours playing Fallout 4, and thinking it is good. What can you possibly say or do to them, that has more far reaching implications and potential for harm, than what they are already doing to themselves?

Im still trying to figure out if they really think "Raiders" was a good example of a CREATURE that one would want to capture and tame like some sort of pokemon. It all starts to make sense when you closely inspect their thought processes by taking the writing and design at face value.

Apparently he was marked as an essential NPC.

You know what made enemies hard, without turning them into ridiculous bullet sponges? DAMAGE THRESHOLD. Even with it shoved in their faces in NV, Bethesda can't seem to wrap their minds around this relatively simple gameplay mechanic.

"General, somehow there are still more of these idiots left alive from the children of the atom cult who need to be shot to death! Let me mark them on your map!"

I can't wait to beat Darkest Dungeon so I can justify buying this so close on the heels of another turn based game. From watching some streams it seems that a lot of things have improved and the difficulty is high. Snakemen have made a return, along with useful melee weapons. It really looks to...

maybe the sole survivor is actually a witcher and that's why he always sounds detached and emotionless

Grim Fandango was better. :P

If what we see in Fallout regarding the use of the term Brahma/Brahmin is offensive, I wonder if other companies are being scrutinized for their less tactful use of the same:

I wonder if groups of Sufis are offended by the inclusion of dervishes in many games as some sort of paladinesque melee class..

I'd pay for that. :P

There are a couple major problems with the PC argument in general. If there is an assumption that the majority should all change something that might be "offensive to a large group" I'd expect you to qualify that large group by size, self selection and the amount of offense. If people...

Well, personally I would be more insulted by other people's assumption that I must have a personal religion, than by anyone using a term that refers to an element or figure of a religion that someone else might follow. If people choose to be prickly about which words from their fiction that...

Being able to die horribly to some creature/enemy that I am way under-leveled to be fighting is a vital feature of actual RPGs for me. How the heck are you supposed to learn if you don't occasionally get wiped out for doing stupid things?

This is the precise reason that most people are 100% happy with the DayZ mod, and completely unhappy with the DayZ standalone game that took in 100 million dollars in sales, and has it's own studio, only to still be a clunky alpha after 3 years of active development, that is way worse than a...

In Bethesda's Fallout games, every body of water is full of radiation 200 years after the war. So radiation? YES. Lots of it. Everywhere.

I shouldn't bother anymore other than to just say "Bullshit" every time you speak. My old Core 2 Duo rig would shit on any "next gen" console. Steam stats are not indicative of the entire world of gaming PCs, just of people who use steam for any purpose, including buying silly little freeware...

That entire post is based on the dubious conclusion that Fallout 4 being better than Fallout 3 is a thing, or that by itself it's a decent game. Even on it's own, ignoring that any other fallout game ever existed, Fallout 4 relies on a bunch of really gradeschool writing techniques to further...
