I'm planning to check out the new Hitman once all the episodes have been released. From what I've seen of the gameplay it looks really good, but I'd rather buy it when its completed. I enjoy the older Hitman games, although the series has not been at its best since the mid 2000s. Hopefully...

Is the option "All of them" a viable answer? Seriously though, I could say The Secret of Cabot House for obvious reasons, but I'll pick something different. I was probably the most bored by Dangerous Minds. The quest assumed that I cared about the motives and backstory of Conrad Cornflakes and...

Somehow I completely forgot Leonard and Tim had joined Obsidian haha. I didn't know about Chris Taylor or the Unreal Engine project either. Perhaps I should be a little more optimistic!

The problem with waiting for an Obsidian-done follow up to Fallout 4 is that they'd still be saddled with the Creation Engine. They may even be forced to use that terrible Fallout 4 dialogue system. Gamebryo was the Achillles heel of New Vegas, and I doubt Bethesda would let Obsidian use...

Honestly, I can't get into Divinity: Original Sin. I really wanted to like it, but I can't get past the first act without getting bored and quitting. I think I find the humour and writing to be really grating, though the combat is pretty good. If anyone has similar experiences with D:OS and...

I think Molyneux might be celebrating what with the No Man's Sky debacle, as Sean Murray might have taken the crown away from him in "Biggest Bullshitter in the Industry" award and given him some breathing space. At least for a while. Same goes for good old Todd. BTW in regards to Wasteland 2...

Fallout 3 IMO is not a lot better than F4, and actually worse in some regards. Its worldbuilding is poorly thought out for starters. The Capital Wasteland might have made a modicum of sense if it was set in 2100, but at 2277 it is seriously stretching the borders of believability. Most of the...

I just read the Polygon article on this and I have to admit, I'm getting more sceptical. Apparently that "Cinematic Camera" will be used for dialogue conversations as well and Fargo implies the dialogue will be all voiced. Is it really wise to be throwing so much money away on voice acting? A $7...

Wasteland 2 was kind of disappointing for me. Its combat was good, but its pacing and the ending, which seemed like it was taken out of the Saturday morning cartoon book of cliches, were pretty terrible. Nonetheless, I'm pretty intrigued with the idea of a snowy post-apocalyptic wasteland. It's...

The Sole Survivor feels mediocre because the post-game is so utterly lacking in content aside from "radiant"-style fetch quests. That and Fallout 4's writing is very weak. As for the Courier, he does lean towards the mythic scale, particularly if you side with New Vegas. However their...

The problem is that the overall game design is so flawed that they may as well have started again from scratch. Anything worth salvaging from Fallout 4 would probably would need to be redone anyway. Out of interest what is it that you would salvage? Anyway, yes I agree, F4 is mediocre as a game...

Warning: long post ahoy! What Fallout 4 should have included would be impossible to do without rewriting the entire game from scratch. The problem with Bethesda is that they choose to follow the ethos of promoting player agency over player character agency. This stems down to their...
