It's not okay for me. I tried to fight the disappointment but I just can't, it's a great action exploration game but it IS an action game more along the lines of Far Cry than classic Fallout (and I'm even including 3 in that). I really feel zero control over who my character is and how he effects the world beyond accepting or denying fetch quests. If you want to play as a sarcastic smartass character your dialogue options pretty much amount to literally just pressing the butto...
Grim Fandango is one of my very favourite games of all time... but, come on... It's from the 90's. I'm not bitching, not attacking but for whatever reason I can say personally I'm definitely not reupping my psplus subscription when it runs out.
Remember when the Jack Black looking douche behind the last set of attacks was arrested? Remember the laughs we had about how he looked EXACTLY like we knew he would in his mugshots? Well, have a little patience. A few days choppy multiplayer is worth the laughs you'll get following the story of these pathetic wannabe edgy neckbeards once the hammer comes down.
I had this on Vita but never finished it. I loved the game for what it was but I don't think it suited the Vita too well, it was a little too fiddly and complicated for the small screen and button layout. I'll definitely be buying it for PS4 though.
In many ways it really was but the complete gutting of the rpg elements (at least as far as creating and role playing your own individual character and interacting with the world in ways other than shooting) is too much for me to get past. That's was exactly what I feared they were going to do with this one and it's exactly what they did. Overall I'd have to say, great game, not so great Fallout game.
This nonsense reads like a Daily Mail article from 1998. The Internet is a part of everyone's 'real life' these days. The only people who still don't grasp the concept of the Internet being a means for real human beings to communicate with each other in a real meaningful sense are idiot thirteen year olds and out of touch people who confuse their sheltered ignorance with superiority.
I'd give it at least an 8 because it really is a pretty brilliant open world exploration and action game with some nice settlement building thrown in, judging completely on its own merits it's a very good game. Still, most games have stuff I don't like much or feel disappointed with but this is the only game in years to actually make me feel genuine sadness at its limitations.
It really breaks my heart to see how much they've gutted the role playing in this s...
Sony foresee a future in which all retro styled sword and sorcery games will be free on ps4
I loved Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite but that art in the thumbnail, the similar douchey cover art of Infinite and the fact that after three games it's being considered something with 'the makings of a great franchise' is just about everything wrong with the creative side of the games industry today.
It's the lack of a decent story that kept me from getting into the previous games and keeps me from being excited for this one. I'm not asking for something as deep as moving as The Last of Us but if they only pumped up the tongue in cheek spy movie vibe and stuck in some funny jokes or something it would do so much to get me interested.
Maybe it's not story specifically but identity. I just don't feel Just Cause has enough of an identity to hook me in and make m...
Still haven't come close to finishing it and am gonna need a bit more of a break before I try to. The basic mechanics and presentation are incredible, it's a beautiful stealth infiltration simulator but ooooh booooy is it ever repetitive.
I wouldn't mind having to do extremely similar side tasks over and over to get the gear I need for some of the main missions and I wouldn't even mind the lack of cutscenes too much if we at least got an audio cassette of plot af...
Agreed, hundreds of guys is just too many to choose from. It's just too much freedom, how are we ever to choose? Still, I disagree on your second point, we don't have to endure this. I say we petition them to add an easy mode that narrows the choice down to the 10 hunkiest fellas. Remember, the consumer has rights.
This is true, in as much as I consider it a meaningless distraction from the more important task of slaughtering my enemies and never bother looking for it.
I feel so weird about this game, I've not been gaming much at all recently but this is the only game for a while now I spend every moment of free time playing, I always want to play more when I have to stop and even now when I'm unable to play I can't wait to get back to it. In every sense but one it's an amazing game and a huge improvement on the formula.
Which is why, despite all that I can only say I feel weird about it. The one place they've effective...
I did think the beginning was rushed but the vault being so close to the protagonist's home isn't some dumb mistake. Fallout shelters are generally situated within a few feet of the living area of the people they're for, you probably don't want to be making the 9 mile drive to your local fallout shelter during a national emergency. Also if you noticed, the people approved for the vault were a small handful from the nearby suburb, not a few hundred from all over the city.
I'm not saying the guy puts in a bad performance and I love the game so far overall but I'm sorry, I really hate the voiced protagonist so far, it feels like a major detriment to player freedom. It's very hard to play as a nerdy or emotionless psychotic character when my guy keeps spouting little quips in his deep self assured sounding voice or acting emotional. Even desperately trying to play as a quiet little nerdy guy who's terrified of the wasteland I'm only managing t...
Damn that's a relief. I was honestly bracing myself for 5s and 6s on these reviews. It seems the complaints from the slightly lower scoring reviews are that the game doesn't stray too far from the old formula, which is just about perfect for me.
Speaking for myself I'm still quite worried this one might be a disappointment but the thought of not buying it would never occur to me for a second.
You can probably accurately call that brainwashing but it's not brainwashing brought on by the recent wave of hype the entire Internet has been surfing on (if anything, it's the stuff I've read online recently that's making me worried for this one), it's brought on by playing Bethesda's previous large...
That 11 minutes thing really worried me as I remembered some treks across Skyrim's map taking an entire evening. 11 minutes sounded ridiculously short so I booted up Skyrim, set the difficulty to novice and ran from one side of the map to the other as fast as I could on foot (sprinting whenever I had stamina but nothing else, no horses or shouts or anything).
It took me 19 minutes to get all the way across without stopping to fight any enemies but with a fair amount of h...
Wait, where did that stuff about FF7 come from? I've paid for that game once in my life and don't believe I've ever mentioned it here. If, as it seems, this 'we' you're grouping me in with is every other human being who currently owns a gaming device then you ARE going to find a few inconsistencies in 'our' views.
The point is that the free game we're getting with our paid subscription for our current generation consoles is a CD ROM game fr...
