Well... the arguments about price are interesting. Seem very similar to discussions about music. "$300 for your band is very reasonable, but we have another band willing to play for free" It hurts to accept that the art you're producing isn't worth anything, but sometimes it just isn't. $5...

I was asking myself this question yesterday. "Do I genuinely still care about this game?" I don't think I do. But, I am reading about it on an almost daily basis? OK so that's evidence that I do care, clearly. Despair, with occasionaly faint hope quickly squashed--Fallout news is a lot like...

For probably the first time in my life I wasn't being sarcastic! :) I really do think tricking enemies into attacking each other is actually fun. ;) Although when the game goes out of its way to make this really easy for you it takes some of the fun out of it, but I guess that's yet another...

Sure, to some extent it's a matter of taste, but when the DIALOG makes you rage-quit a game, there's something wrong. Tricking enemies who are attacking you into fighting each other instead of you is tons of fun! Capturing enemies and making them fight to the death in an arena for your...

I never played the NV DLC. Now I have to go get and play the NV DLC. Thanks? *sigh*

The artwork... it's just so... ugh. Like 50s camp as drawn by far-future alien 50s "earth history fanbois" who have only ever seen Roger Rabbit. No reallly, I like camp. I understand that they feel the need to do something new. It's just bad. So, of cousre that means it fits with the whole...

If the question is "what would be in an underwater DLC", the answer is obviously "What was in Bioshock?" Because that was a successful game and this is Bethesda. Imagine Bioshock 1 and 2 but with the ironic sense of humor, er, make that all humor removed and all textures turned grey-brown.

I know someone who played it through, then played it through a second time, and is now eagerly awaiting DLC. He's not an idiot or a gaming noob or a kid, so I assume it must be reasonably entertaining in the areas that it is entertaining. So, I'm curious but... not really. I've played...

Comparisons to Witcher 3 are appropriate. Aside from flavor, the gameplay target is very similar. If you think about it, there are a lot of quests in W3 that you can't talk your way thorugh: bandits, scripted sequences--just try to have a conversation with a Griffin. Witcher 3 is very much...

One things System Shock 1 could never be accused of: hand holding. :) Unlike half the world (apparently), I don't think System Shock and Bioshock should be in the same sentence together, much less considered spiritually related to each other, except in the sense that System Shock should be...

"Even" after Fallout 4? Uh... right.

Well, that'd make sense, if they have respect for Skyrim as an RPG. Which I personally don't.

Wait... hoarding ammo was a significant gameplay element in Fallout 1-2. Maybe they were brainstorming and were like "That's it! We'll let you hoard *everything* in the game and that makes it the best roleplaying experience ever!" Or something. I mean, meetings, you know?

Well, obviously I agree with you then, don't I? :) So the personal attack seems sort of illogical. :(

As my friend said to me, "You're right, and I disagree with you." :) Yes, you are right. But, magic frequently is used as a get-out-of-jail-free card to do things like that in magical universes, and we're pretty much used to that. It stilll feels pretty cheap in skyrim/oblivion/etc because...

Ohhhhhhhh. I'm not sure whether I should be more ashamed or more proud for not having caught that. :) Yeah duh. Considering my utter failure to recognize either infamous bullshit or the presence of sarcastic irony, please consider my response to have been directed at the original speaker. Along...

It's not about "realistic", it's about "believable." I mean, that's pretty clearly explained at the very start of the rev...ohhhh, I see. Never mind. Let the "explaining that we use the same word to mean different things in English fairy" handle it when he gets here. :D

Why? You keep asking Why? Because the mass of people are perpetually bored, hungry for something new, and above all do NOT WANT TO BE CHALLENGED. They'll gladly pay .99 per track for boring mass produced pop music based on what used to be your favorite underground music style, because it's a...

"Fallout 4 is not a role-playing game. But stopping there in your description would qualify you for an "Understatement of the Year" award." Fixed.

Well, it's an admittedly very different place in which to blow stuff up and shoot people, different from the usual "beautifully rendered and realistic" or "space" places in which FPS lovers blow stuff up and shoot people. Isn't that the main value model of the Skyrim games? A pretty fantasy...
