    New Vegas is really good, bale

    And remember, the NCR is your FRIEND. They fight for FREEDOM.

    I couldn't get into New Vegas at all

    Fallout 3 though

    That's a hell of a game

    (Where's my Fallout 4)

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    For real though

    where is Fallout 4

    I liked New Vegas, but it definitely didn't get its hooks in me the way FO3 did.

    For real though

    where is Fallout 4

    At the Spike TV VGX awards this December

    FO3 is definitely more addicting than NV

    But the writing quality of NV is just so good

    That was how Skyrim was announced

    Bethesda wants their game announcements mostly to themselves and on TV

    Expensive, lavish all CGI trailer showing tons of action that isn't actually possible in game. Everybody wearing power armor.

    Slow fade-in of the title

    I keep wanting to start baulders gate. But it is hard to get into.

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    Baldur's Gate has not aged well in terms of usability and UI

    It is a very difficult gap to cross

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    I also don't get ad&d mechanics since I started with 3.0

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    I had the same problem with fallout 1 and 2 though. I just couldn't play them because the ui and stuff.

    Can it be assumed that even Zenimax knew that Elder Scrolls Online was a bad idea, it was just too late to cancel it by the time the bottom dropped out of MMOs

    I like the setting of New Vegas way more than Fallout 3 (in that things are a little more intact and everything has an Old West feel) but it was still such an ugly game and the combat so un-fun that I couldn't get too far into it

    I played and loved Fallout. X-Com Ufo Defense is my jam. Ancient UIs don't stop me.

    I still couldn't get into Baldur's Gate.

    The original Fallouts are possibly the ONLY old PC games I can deal with

    I hate the UI in the original X-Com and I can't play any Sid Meier game before Civ 5

    I tried Alpha Centauri!

    I can't do it!

    I'm now imagining a Deathclaw wearing an Occulus Rift and a couple power gloves.

    It is hilarious.

    So here's something interesting

    Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas had a remaster hit Xbox Live today, for 360, replacing the Xbox Originals version

    It now has Achievements and some graphical/performance updates

    In addition to that, today only (10/26), it's only $3.74

    So

    Go grab it, 'cause San Andreas is rad

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Dang, Darksiders got Mark Hamill? Good job, guys

  • Bluedude152Bluedude152 Registered User regular
    So robocraft is a really fun game that just updated

    Its a game where you build a robot bit by bit then fight in in a deathmatch

    Okay, yeah, I can dig on some Darksiders

  • nicopernicusnicopernicus Registered User regular
    I'm playing Dragon Age 2 right now. Thought it would be a good time to cross it off the list before Inquisition comes out.

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    Hmm

    I know GTAIV and GTAV had some pretty gross trans stuff in them, but I didn't know that stretched all the way back to San Andreas until I started playing this remake

    I was just rear-ended by a van and on the side I noticed the logo, "TransFender - Body Swap Shop"

    Ugh

    I wonder how much other shit in this game I didn't notice when I was 18 (I didn't even know what transgender was back then)

    Pretty sure it's because it all leaked out early

    The posts are all dated for tomorrow

    Well, I finished LA Noire.... It was an enjoyable game, but for me the story kinda fell apart once the Vice cases ended.

    I hated the overarching story, and just wanted to keep solving one-of murder cases

    Who would have guessed that the only place you'd end up doing that was traffic?

    The end of the Vice cases is where I feel the overarching plot thrusts itself to the forefront and becomes impossible to ignore, it's when Elsa and Kelso get involved and things just fall apart.

    It feels like they wanted LA Noire to be a video game version of LA Confidential, but they really should've stuck to self contained stories for each case, or at least each desk.

    Homicide desk was goddamn infuriating because, due to narrative conceit, they had you set up with these cases where you're getting the wrong guy every single time to feed into this greater narrative arc and it's so fucking obvious in every case that the dude you're hauling in is not the murderer that I'm not even going to consider that a spoiler.

    And when that is happening, it's like... okay because of the dumb story you want to tell these individual cases are not satisfying, and the dumb story you want to tell is bad so I'm not enjoying any part of this anymore. Can I just go back to traffic desk where I'm actually busting killers?

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    I have strong feelings about LA Noire, because I can see the good game that is there at times and I want more of that game.
