I dismiss Metacritic for reasons stated elsewhere. Fun fact: Even if Metacritics reviews were counted on top of Steam's reviews/Amazon's/everywhere else (which would be the fairest thing to do) there'd be no change in %'s for the negative. It might even rise because Amazon's are rather...

Yeah and you failed to get my point even there. While Diablo 3 sucked ass, its review score got further lowered by the fact of people spamming negative reviews for it over some China/Korea server crap. If you're gonna review something review it for your own experiences. If you can't see that a...

Yeah it's an imperfect game with some bad design choices made for it. 20% or more negative reviews is to be expected. I guess Fallout 3's last DLC should've clued people in to where Bethesda was heading with the series but it didn't for some reason. Hell some even praised that "gem". These...

So that's where he's coming off with that stuff. I didn't ever suspect NMA/Codex of doing it. Like I said, my "bad" experience with Metacritic was long ago with Diablo 3. Either way, I just don't trust that site. And although I use user reviews I'll use them from a place that's less...

That's true. But it could make a "maybe I'll buy this when it's on sale" type of game to a never buy. It also still shows that the site is flawed. I think it's odd myself that Steam - a site that ensures you gotta own it - has a higher average than Metacritic. It's possible a lot of console...

Yeah I know Diablo 3 sucked so does Fallout 4 as a Fallout. Thing is though, you can't deny when people organize a raid or something to poorly review a game to trash its score that it doesn't effect it. Diablo 3 could go from a shitty 60% positive to a 40% or lower for instance. Do you believe...

Ignoring the point again I see and continuing on with this "Illuminati" stuff. If you wanna believe an exploitable site, suit yourself. I'll just continue using this old and shoddy site called Steam I download most of my games from.

As an owner of that game, that's right. I don't like Reaper of Souls, either. Thing is you can't deny if people go and spam bad reviews that it only further worsens a games score on there. If you wanna pretend that people organizing others to spam bad reviews on something at Metacritic or any...

You don't get it. Metacritic doesn't matter to me. Several years ago, after I saw people Reddit/4Chan organizing raids on it to negatively review Diablo 3 over reasons not related to the game sucking ass for them but rather over some BS controversy that was related to the Korean/Chinese...

And what you're not considering is Metacritic in contrast has a whopping 45% percentage of negative reviews. Quite the difference I'd say. Yeah it's mixed; it's an imperfect game. That's just how it is.

A few of the things they did right's been mentioned in this thread already. But one I just came to appreciate after starting another New Vegas replay was their simple change of the Vats hotkey to Q from V. For some reason I never set that to Q myself in NV or FO3 but it honestly feels so...

I've avoided doing that questline due to hearing it has connections with aliens, to be honest. My impression is this find is something of a random one is it not? Or is it connected to that questline?

It's best that way. I'd rather it be a random easter egg than a fully fledged part of the game. I hate Alien's in Fallout but this is no different than the crashed UFO in Fallout 1.

One potential retcon that deserves consideration: Vault 111's Cryogenics. In 2050~2076, the Sierra Army Depot was renovated & refitted with a state of the art research facility by the US Military. Part of that facility was Biostorage which had Cryogenic Suspension. Source. In Fallout 2 (the...

Is it really bisexual though if your character stops being interested in one gender and is only attracted to the other? Liking both male and female at the same time is bisexual sure, but liking only the gender that's the same as your own is gay. I'm getting the impression here from yours and...

Yeah you're crazy because Bethesda has a track record of releasing buggy games at launch. Either go in expecting it to be buggy or don't buy. It's sad but it's how it is. I myself fully expected a buggy experience. Not solely because it's a Bethesda game though mind you, but because my...

@Irwin John Finster: Easy there, Mr. Scholar. I just found it odd that you would hate on Cabot House then like Mothership Zeta when they're both essentially the same. They both may not have came from the same butthole but they're both still crap. To me if the game/maker doesn't say explicitly...

Old World Blues could easily fit in the series canon though without conflicts. As could most of Fallout 3's DLC. Mothership Zeta is the only one that comes to mind that couldn't because it retcons how the Great War potentially started;China didn't fire first. But neither did the USA! It was...

You can't go and praise Mothership Zeta and then trash Fallout 4's story and expect your post to be taken seriously, dude. Mothership Zeta - serious or not does not belong in the Fallout universe. Bethesda took something that was mostly an Easter Egg and for some stupid reason made it a part of...

It's funny how you bring up Fallout 4 when it was never relevant to the discussion. Yeah it's got bad story elements too but Chris Avellone got a lot of that shit started back in Fallout 2. The series got derailed there from being a serious post-apocalyptic game to one with too much humor...
