The problem with that is making it through 200 hours of Fallout 4. I can get 50-60 hours out of it before I just can't take it any more.

About as nostalgic as I get for a really bad toothache.

Wasn't the murder in a vault quest the one Bethesda flat-out stole from the Autumn Leaves mod for New Vegas?

Hence my comment about Preston Garvey being reskinned as a Raider.

I found this on r/fo4 - supposedly the list of achievements and their descriptions. Taken for a Ride: Complete "Taken for a Ride" The Grand Tour: Complete "The Grand Tour" Power Play: Complete "Power Play" Home Sweet Home: Complete "Home Sweet Home" Eyes on the Prize: Redeem 100,000 tickets at...

I didn't even hear about this game until a couple of days ago, when it was being discussed here. I did some reading and looked at a few videos, and my first thought was "People are actually paying 60 bucks for this? It's maybe halfway finished!" It might be okay in a year or so, but only if...

It might possibly have some promise, if they release some updates that give you more to do in the game and fix the crashes and frame rate issues that it seems to have. And they really need to do something about the color palette, textures and art design - it looks cheesy and cartoony, and not...

I don't know - seems like if they just added a bunch of procedurally generated loot piñatas to the planets you visit, and maybe some silly animated icons that get triggered every 30 seconds or so, this game would be a Fallout 4 player's dream. Mindless roaming, shooting, looting and scavenging...

Maybe, or maybe not. But hey, you'll be able to make some really awesome medieval style contraptions when the workshop DLC are released!

Patches can't do much to fix bad writing, lazy quest design, one-dimensional NPCs and a lack of cohesive vision for the whole game. I do agree, at least somewhat, with your point about the DLC being a big factor in why recent reviews for the game have gotten worse, though.

I would say Civ VI, but given the direction that Firaxis has taken the series with the last two releases, I'm skeptical of how it's going to turn out. I'll have to wait for some post release reviews and LPs before I make up my mind. Other than that, I'd have to say Cyberpunk 2077 (even though...

We'll see when the time comes. I agree that a lot of the fans of the older games will be more hesitant to buy into the hype for the next Bethesda Fallout, but what's less certain is whether or not they've tapped into a new market of ultra-casuals who just want lots of stuff to shoot and loot...

Their biggest mistake, which they made right out of the gate, was deciding to use Jive to try and actually run a basically wide open community. Whoever in their IT department (or from their IT contractor) recommended they use it should never work in the industry again. I think they did try...

I'm just reading between the lines, but I get the sense that the moderation tools at Beth.aids are lacking to say the least. You even had mods bitching about the forums in public posts - that never happened at the old forums. And that may be half or more of the reason for the move. But yeah...

It only took a year and a huge chunk of the old community walking away, but it looks like Bethesda finally recognized that their shiny new Jive forum was an unsalvageable pile of shit. https://community.bethesda.net/thread/67465 It'll be interesting to see what they replace it with, and if...

I don't know for sure, since I don't think I've ever seen a terminal in the game smashed open so you can see the components. But since all the other electronics in the game seem to pre-date transistors and integrated circuits, I'd guess they probably do use vacuum tubes.

Third Witcher Book (Blood of Elves) in the can, now working on The Time of Contempt.

We're also starting to see more and more designs using non-corrosive reinforcement materials (mostly fiberglass), particularly in marine and other especially harsh environments. The problem, as always, is cost - though their unit cost has been coming down, using fiberglass rebars is still quite...

Another possibility - future CKs that are stripped down to the point where they'll run on iOS or Android - console players have smartphones and tablets, after all. Sure, you won't be able to do much with them beyond making reskins of weapons and armors and tweaking their stats, but that would...

They had to at least pretend to give a little bit of a shit for PC players; after all, who else is going to make all of those console mods they think are the biggest thing about their games now?
