    Things we learned from Fallout 4

    I'm not even sure they know what a Game is supposed to be at this point. I'm sure it involves a component called "fun" and I don't see much of that in FO4

    Good PC Builds

    some general fan stuff: If you are not having any cooling issues I would set speed controlled case fans to whatever level you find reasonable in terms of sound output. You will still get a cooling effect even with them on fairly low. There's no reason to have the rig humming away loudly if it...

    Good PC Builds

    true, since the SSDs dropped well below about 1usd/gig it is really hard to justify not getting one for the OS at least. a second one to handle higher resource using games makes a nice difference in loading times and seems to help with texture pop-in and such. I have one just for my newer steam...

    Good PC Builds

    There are important things to decide before you go designing and building a gaming pc, mostly in terms of your expectations: What kind of games do you intend to play? Do you want to do 1080, or 4k res? VR? Do you want to simultaneously do other things with it while gaming, like stream or...

    Far Harbor weapons say Bye Bye to Realism

    well the point here, is apparently the same as it was in point lookout. They want their wierd mutant hick/raider enemies in the DLC to be hard, but can't think of any possible way to do it without resorting to the laziest programming ever and just upping damage values on weapons regardless of...

    Far Harbor weapons say Bye Bye to Realism

    Hooked weapons aside, is that an ARMOR PIERCING BASEBALL BAT? A blunt striking weapon.. that pierces armor. It's not that they don't understand how guns work, it's the more general misunderstanding of how everything works that really starts to get under my skin. PS: A high damage air rifle is...

    What exactly is an RPG?

    Unfortunately that vague wiki description of role playing games includes pretty much every game ever made. As a game genre, I believe there is usually more emphasis on either character creation from the bones up, or in something like the Witcher where you already have a predesigned character...

    Name a thing you DON'T hate in Fallout 4

    I don't hate the fact that people's preference and opinion of Fallout 4 makes it very easy to spot the gamers who don't understand the difference between LARPing and Roleplaying in a cRPG.

    Driving through Commonwealth.

    I think cars would be a bit of a stretch for this engine. Maybe they could handle brahmin mounts using code from Skyrim. Then they could sell us a Brahmin Armor DLC and the circle would be complete.

    Fallout 4 - Far Harbor Official Trailer

    well let's try it.. Fallout 3: Find your crazy father and stuff for "reasons". Big robot splosions battle. Fallout 4: Find your crazy child and stuff for "reasons". Big robot splosions battle with airship. I think I would still rather play FO 1 & 2. At least their over-simplified plots...

    Fallout 4 - Wasteland Workshop Official Trailer

    man good thing the Chinese didn't have simple man portable laser weapons that seem to abound in the world of Fallout, or all those PA clad US soldiers would have totally been losing the war...

    Even after Fallout 4, many fans still asking for an Obsidian developed Fallout

    It's actually really simple to fuck up a game like doom, they just need to follow this 3 step process: Step 1: throw away the balance inherent in a skill based shooter by having powerup loadouts and a random overpowered tech thingy that turns one guy into a big tank so he can feel special at...

    No super mutants in Fallout 4

    Unfortunately, they made stupid design and writing choices that would not even allow them the room to Try in that sense. With a pre-written goody goody PC, you lose all of the Evil options that their black/grey/white morality system in Fallout 3 had and you are left with nothing but these 2...

    Fallout 4 - Wasteland Workshop Official Trailer

    I've been playing through TW3 again, and I was just wondering to myself the other day about the quality on those little dlc. They looked pretty polished and for the 0 dollars they want I couldn't think of a reason not to try them out.. Gonna give them a go.

    What's with all the hate for Fallout 4?

    I remember when Fallout 3 was announced, and before we ever saw anything but concept art and promo posters, people here were pretty open minded about it for the most part. There was some derision about what we were seeing resembling "Oblivion with guns" but it wasn't as hatey until we actually...

    Fallout 4 - Wasteland Workshop Official Trailer

    Compelling reasons, like not wanting to talk about Kid in the Fridge, because it was inherently stupid and indefensible.

    Wasteland Workshop Released!

    They might as well have thrown in a pokeball.

    reading the increasingly negative steam reviews section for this settlement armor DLC brings joy to my soul.

    Fallout 4 rpgcodex review

    well mentioning that the last Fallout game and it's mods had a bunch of features that Bethesda could not manage to directly copy and paste for their new one... that obviously means you're an Obsidian fanboy. It couldn't mean anything else could it?
