I liked what I've played of it, but factoring in the publishing company being a branch of 2K Games and the bits of woke and not-funny humor that I keep finding, once my Game Pass runs out, that's as far as I'll go with this one.

Maybe not, but no harm in taking a few shots at Bethesda.

Maybe a...prognosis instead? After all, if the release content is slowing down, that could mean game death is on the horizon.

We made one for Fallout 4. Why not 76 as well? Wastelanders being pushed back means some content won't be covered if such a review comes out this or next month, but probably no big loss. Thoughts?

The double edged sword of mainstreaming. Bethesda saw people complaining about the percentile skills system in Morrowind and oversimplified that to Oblivion's detriment. Then because Oblivion sold so much better, they got the mistaken impression that more streamlining could only make things...

Most times, the people saying that are speeding through the game, not taking their time.

If it never gets patched, then it likely was.

Not that I ever saw, so likely no.

I remember that, and I agree with him. Disney and K. Kennedy, among others, turned the IP into a near unrecognizable Frankenstein, spit in the faces of the old fans, and still expect people to support them. If Rise of Skywalker flops, and I hope it does, I'd love to see George make a public...

Likewise. He makes good videos sometimes.

Now if only George Lucas could get an equal revenge for Star Wars this year.

I can relate. At least two of my jobs used this tactic to hide how bad things were for the lower employees from outside eyes. So, I'll give Obsidian that. They nailed the corporate sleeze part of this setting, satire or not.

Yep, they do. That said, Obsidian lost a lot of good staff during the New Vegas related layoffs and the people they replaced them with are not as talented.

Just noticed something. Ellie, the 'you do you' lady...is it me, or is she wearing something inspired by Fox from StarFox?

Yeah. The timing was too good on both counts, and if opinions stay mixed, that won't help them long-term. Hell, Private Division siding with Epic already soured the game for PC players, and if there's no modding, oh boy. That's because the company has changed so much since that time. Now it's...

Correct on both counts. This did feel like those two to me...and now I feel like playing Destiny again. In the case of Gunn, he was let go because it's not a good look for a child oriented company to work with someone with potentially pedo leanings. Which is telling because Disney brought him...

Not sure about the first part, but yes, they will join in on conversations and make comments about things. Each one has a personal quest too, so pretty much the whole New Vegas companion system was transplanted into this game.

Agreed, and it's a cruel irony that the Vault Boy, once a mascot for a company that was all kinds of evil, is now a major face of Bethesda, itself a tentacle of the even more evil Zenimax.

No argument there, and now we've got a generation of kids who will think of that as quality work. Shame really. You've not been paying attention to the goings on of the world if that's how you think. Doing my best, though can't really help it with this one. The writing has been on the wall...

Not yet, anyway, and that's what these types count on. People being ambivalent about things that 'don't concern them' up until they realize that reversing the trends these types put into motion is all but impossible. But back to the game. There's another reason I won't buy it: Private Division...
