I find the combat in particular to be the game's weakest point. Having to hold the left mouse button down (or click) all the time killed anything resembling "tactical combat" for me. It would have been excusable if any single hit felt the least bit consequential, but since every single creature...

... is the worst Dragon Age game so far. It managed to fulfill the seemingly impossible task of being a greater disappointment than 2. The combat system is one of the worst I've ever seen, the open world is terribly implemented, the story once again follows the BioWare template in place since...

All games have the power fantasy element to them. It's just that some, like Fallout 3 (and most likely 4) try to make you feel like a badass by throwing shiny baubles at you and giving you lots of big scary enemies to shoot at. Bethesda and Tarantino have at least one thing in common, the...

Blood Dragon was great, Far Cry 2 was decent as well (I might have gone as far as calling it good if it wasn't for the respawning checkpoints). Haven't played 4 yet, but since 3 was so successful I doubt the developers seriously tackled the issues which plagued it. I think that it's also what we...

Wait a minute... If there is any kind of racism in Far Cry 3 it would be in the opposite direction. You have a decent and memorable antagonist who appeared in all the PR material, who is present in the part of the game which feels at least a little bit inspired, and who you might think is the...

We live in a world where each next installment of the Call of Duty series sells like groceries. And a world where Skyrim is one of the best-selling games of all time. Combine all that, throw in a bit of sci-fi mumbo-jumbo and power armor, and you've got yourself Fallout 4 - which is therefore...

I wouldn't necessarily call give it the "action" title, since you can literally conquer all of Calradia without ever once swinging your weapon if you choose to specialize in leadership and trade. The most accurate description of M&B would be medieval simulation RPG.

Antler! Of the companions, I liked Raul and Arcade the best.

And when a fella comes running towards you with a machete in one hand and a grenade in the other, shooting him means you are a good person. If you're evil, you'll let him blow/chop you up!

Do not fight the urge to rant :) The really concerning thing is that it's not just Fallout or Diablo, it's the whole industry. I wouldn't be surprised if within a few years, your average AAA title is literally a 3d movie with quick time events which determine whether you failed or not.

No one will get offended because you have a different opinion on a game :) Or at least I hope so. I define Stalker as an RPG because I found myself in more actual role-playing situations with it than I did in many games which are by general consensus RPGs. As I said, I know most people have a...

The weapons, armor and artifacts in Stalker serve the same purpose as the skill system and augmentations in Deus Ex. There are multiple approaches to situations, although stealth wasn't as much of a possibility when facing mutants, it was an option (albeit a hard one) when encountering human...

Deus Ex and STALKER are both very good examples that it can work. Stalker in particular, because the shooting itself was more fun and engaging than any actual shooter I ever played (particularly when it came to fighting human opponents). Far Cry 3 is as much an RPG as Assassin's Creed 2.

This also happened to the Thief series. The only time the word taffer is mentioned in the reboot is when somebody comments on how it "sounds stupid" and we're instead treated to conversations which seem to have been written by a 12 year old who just discovered swearing. But I've never been one...

Pretty sure that you would have more luck asking around in this category: http://www.nma-fallout.com/forumdisplay.php?19-Fallout-RPG-Gameplay-amp-Tech& Welcome aboard :)

I don't usually trust History either, the only reason I found the video credible was the veteran who was in a Sherman maintenance unit. All of history is nothing but propaganda, and every historian is a propagandist. Some of them would have us believe that the German tanks were perfect, some...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns6l7sCoWX4 And to remind you that when discussing whether or not some WWII tank was shitty or not, there really is no reason to sound so butthurt. :) Way I see it, its only advantage was that it was cheap.

Luck determines how fast the critical meter recharges... What the fuck? That's not how luck works! It's a certainty that you're going to get lucky, and your luck stat just determines how quickly. It's like looking at a pile of gold and diamonds you randomly come across in your back yard, only to...

Dishonored's system was also broken. It was always spare people = no chaos, kill people = chaos. So you'll spare them unless you actually want the game to end in chaos. There should have been characters which cause more chaos if left alive, the final result should have been determined on who was...

The Sherman was the worst mass used tank in WWII. As far as I know, the general consensus is that Patton was an idiot to choose it as the primary tank for US operations in Europe. It couldn't even put a dent in most German tanks' frontal armor, and had no range to speak of. I also heard...
