I was desperately hoping for AI improvements with the new engine (alas, I should have known better that it was too much to ask). If Fallout 4 isn't going to be a deep RPG, then Bethesda is seriously going to have to understand that they need to make a new AI from the ground up so that it can at...

It does make me seriously wish that Bohemia would spend more of their time and money on fixing the AI and horrible optimization issues rather than trying to, say, modeling saluting in the game. It pisses me off to no end that ArmA II is a game that has absolutely no excuse for why it runs the...

Basically any RPG is really easy when you learn how to game the system, and the original Fallout games were no exception. Case in point, making a bee-line to Navarro and getting not one, but two sets of Power Armor and a weapon that can last you to the end of the game in Fallout 2. Weirdly...

And I will say that I actually kind of enjoyed the Library mission: Co-op on Legendary with a buddy, hordes of "zambies!" coming at you, and a shotgun that had reach. For me, it was basically Left 4 Dead seven years before Left 4 Dead came out.

The premise behind the Halo rings I thought was actually pretty cool, and I think Bungie does have some of the better writers in the game development biz with games like Marathon under their belt. Case in point, whoever came up with the level titles "Charon doesn't make change," "The Gun Pointed...

So far the best persuasion mini-game of any game I've ever played was in DX: HR, though understandably, not every game can have something like this for a lot more opportunities. Onto that second paragraph there, it makes me glad that when I eventually pick it up (i.e. after finals and a month...

Even as a PC gaming enthusiast, I can never bring myself to criticise the Halo franchise seeing as I've been a Bungie fan from the very beginning with Marathon (however, I will say that every non-Bungie Halo title from here on out is fair game for me). The narrative and encounter design sort of...

From what I see on, say, a gaming forum completely independent of Bethesda's (I'm not going to use their forums as an example, obv), I've never seen anyone go out and say something to that effect. They may say they like Oblivion with the requisite "...but," followed by criticisms for the shitty...

Ah yes, Buggerfall. Back in the days when the game engine would occasionally forget to add an exit to a procedurally generated dungeon, trapping your character in there forever. Then there were the monsters you were supposed to that spawned inside a wall, rendering a quest impossible to complete.

All I'm saying is if you're one of those people who are that put off by the mechanics and balance, you can probably breathe a little life into it by abusing certain things. And hell, for some people it's worth bypassing the game part some mediocre designer made just to see something cool the...

You know what, I actually sort of enjoy the "hiking sim" aspect of Morrowind and Oblivion. Truth be told, whenever I start them up, I just go into the console and level up all my stats just so I can just go and run around (and before you go and call me out as a munchkin, I get my challenge fix...

I've been of the opinion that a strong multiplayer component was the best deterrent to piracy. For example, even though the first Starcraft was pirated to hell and back, the people who torrented it got a seriously gimped game since they couldn't get into what turned into its biggest feature: the...

Wasn't there an incident of distaff clone incest (clone-cest?) in Morrowind?

Dude, for my sniper build characters that round turns my AMR into a flak cannon. Now in combination with the OWB perks, Cazadors have become a lot less frightening (they still scare the shit out of me though).

In my mind it was a case of selective amnesia: seeing a town full of people getting torn up like that did an even bigger number to his/her psyche. I've read about cases where survivors of Dresden would acknowledge that they were there when it happened, but couldn't recall hard details about it...

With the last piece of New Vegas DLC out and deciding to do a definitive run of FO: NV before I uninstall it for the time being, I created a character for purposes of role-playing, and one thing led to another, and I had enough to fill a few pages. If the response is positive, then I might...

So in a fight between Joshua Graham and Ulysses, who'd you think would have come out on top? I mean, I heard Ulysses tell me he "could've," to which I would have said: "I don't know, he does have 50 DT and can crit-shot a White Legs from 200 ft away.

Maybe this DLC would also patch in Ulysees into the main story as a companion. He was slated to be a companion before he was cut, after all.

First exposure to pen and paper RPGs was of course DnD. Only played a few campaigns with my friends though before I sort of fell off of it. I started about the time when the very first Red and Blue versions of Pokemon came out, we were all 10, and our dungeon-master insisted on a few of them...

On the subject of boss fights, the second in my mind was *almost* bearable or even good I dare say. It had you up against an interesting character (who unfortunately got zero development in the game), the atmosphere was great, and the mix of the audio of the song and [spoiler:69f163aa60]Eliza...
