Fallout 4 coming out on November 10, free mobile spin-off out now

At least "arrow to the knee" had solid meme value and seemed consistent within the game world.

"Patrolling the mojave makes me..." want to kill whoever wrote that line, and scream things like "Nobody would ever say that!" at my screen.

If you occasionally end up privy to useful information by eavesdropping on the random NPCs bantering, the mechanic can add signal to the game amongst the noise, and lead to quests that aren't the PC doing the bidding of others all the time. It provides an alternative to fetch quests that feels more organic.

If it's just sounds to make us think people live in the city/area it gets annoying fast and it's on par with poorly done ambient bird and wind noises in the forests in most games. Ambient conversations can easily become a way for developers to claim they are making the game immersive, when in reality you can no longer suspend disbelief after the 3rd time you hear that guy repeat the line in passing, or that bird let out the same annoying shrill cry every 2 minutes all day long.
 
It runs good on a tablet with 1gb of ram and a 1.2ghz quad core cpu. The game is kind of buggy at the moment, first time I installed it, I coulnd't get past the tutorial because it wouldn't let me assign dwellers to rooms so I had to reinstall it. And sometimes my game crashes when I open Lunchboxes. The game itself is not that interesting, it's more like a time killer than anything else really. If you're at work and your are bored then try it.

EDIT: Fuckit, now it crashes almost every time I try to gather resources.

I finally got around to trying Fallout Shelter. I'm not going to say it's great or anything like that. But, it's more engaging than Solitaire. No crashes yet. The only thing like a bug I've seen is when a new goal pops up, the game doesn't recognize it if you've already completed that goal. You have to do it again to get the bonus.
 
I played it for a few days, but it's pretty mediocre. If they updated it regularly it might be better.
