I think that could make an amazing game, but I don't think it will ever come from Bethesda. They are very fixed on certain aspects of their RPGs that will always make them feel shallow. #1 - I don't think they'll every use a timer. Their design choices suggest they think one should be able...

I'd prefer new groups for several reasons. #1 - new means truly don't know what to expect, we get new groups to interact with and learn about. Carrying BoS, Enclave or whomever to new games means carrying player's expectations. Sure they can toy with our expectations a bit by having a...

I don't have any of the DLCs yet and thought I might grab them. Currently Ultimate edition is $5 or individual DLCs are like this: Gun Runner Arsenal: $0.49 Courier's Stash: $0.24 Lonesome Road: $1.24 Old World Blues: $1.24 Honest Hearts: $1.24 Dead Money...

Yikes, I'm not a fan of either of these. Both faces look pasted in on a generic body and background like those painted plywood things at the fair that kids stick their heads out of.

Cut scenes can definitely be a bit of a reward. Warcraft II was one of the first PC games I ever played and the opening cinematic and the short 20 or 30 second clips that were slotted between every 3 or 4 story missions really added a lot to the feel of the world. I could see them fitting...

thanks for nostalgia bombing my brain. Daggerfall was my 1st computer RPG and it was glorious. In character creation you could do all sorts of ridiculous ways. You could start knowing different languages (never found it that had any benefit), put points into reputation with different...

1st let me get my bias out: I'd prefer the dev. not force me through a progression of weapon types to remain effective late game. If I use small arms, I'd like to be able to complete the game without being forced to tote around a bazooka and pump a level of skill points into its operation to...

Read this and though "that can't be possible", 1 million? I was ready for my jaw to drop in amazement that Diablo 2 sold that small...nope, sold way more. 1st I found the wiki page stating, "a full seven years after the game's initial release – and 11 million users still play Diablo II and...

Dogy, I don't think anyone here cares if the message boards on IGN or Kotuku are laughing at NMA. Is the average person on here older than on IGN, probably - so what. I'm 29, the games of my childhood were the Mario games of the late 80's with some Sonic or Double Dragon mixed in. When I...

To change anyone's opinion, I think you need more than a "good game that doesn't necessarily make sense". I think you need to find a good game that doesn't make sense and benefits from the illogical/lazy world design. Otherwise, the game would be good despite poor world design, which also...

Basically, Bethesda sucks at open world story telling and quest design. They seem more limited to that final fantasy on rails game I read about in the questing department. Seem to recall watching an Extra Credits episode about open world design done right vs wrong, but checking on phone...

Your points about FO:NV having too many people and about there being too many trees is just wrong. FO 1 & 2 had both significant numbers of people and had a good amount of vegetation. In each major local there were at least a dozen people and often several dozen - it's been over 100 years...

I love the concept of the bag, don't like the actual product they ended up with. I'd prefer a worn leather look that would fit FO:NV with a symbol that suggested the Fallout universe, or a interior marking Property of Courier #6. I'm a video game fan, but not enough that I'd wear a Mario...

1st I know for a fact that there are billions being loaned out to American college students that isn't tracked b/c I had dozens of friends on these "cost of living loans" buying all sorts of idiotic things. Banks are surely more demanding of business loans than college loans, but I'd wager...

Think there will be enough tomb stones? Looked through the various tiers and counted 3000 tomb stones with backer's names, plus 874 "Names and Epitaphs in the Valley of Dead Heroes"....with there be an entire graveyard planet? I've played lots of video games and don't think I've ever seen...

I wonder is this might be used as a means of inserting lots of easter eggs and nods to fans, pop culture, and just anything that doesn't merit full inclusion but would potentially be funny/interesting to people giving Wasteland 2 an exhaustive play though. If could be as simple as typing...

I'm not clear on how established how strong NCR's control of the region is supposed to be, but I guess they could have some issue in the Boneyard that leads to a quaranteen zone much like STALKER. NCR would have power at the periphery while some other mutant, goul, or other faction running the...

Funny you say that b/c that's one of my main gripes with FO3 and NV. I got FO:3...was amazed...then bored (walk, shoot, linear conversation, walk, walk, walk, shoot, walk, boring conversation)...then as I encountered more & more of the world disappointed by it's lack of interest, realism, or...

I hope this is a really solid game, but not having played the original I wasn't going to pay for a yet-to-be-made sequel. If they go much above $25 I don't think I'll be buying until a Steam sale or whatever might get it back down to my threshold. Over the last few years my max pay out for...
