You TFA-haters are such Scrooges. Sure the film had flaws, but come on, it wasn't nearly as bad as F4 or the prequels.

I'd have liked them to cut out the prologue altogether and begin with you being defrosted, maybe by some explorers who ask you who you are and how you came to be there. You'd have plenty of great roleplaying options, and even the chance to describe what the pre-war world was like on your own terms.

To be fair, it is a spiffy suit.

As far as I can tell, this is actually a big reason why most of the vocal feminist/progressive/socially-aware community on the Internet dislike the story and setup for this game. Bethesda seems to have designed it around the unspoken assumption that the PC will be a straight white male, and...

I quite liked Skyrim. The lack of attributes bothered me, as did the quest design (dungeon crawls galore!) but I liked the setting and lore, which felt like a nice step up from the generic feel of Oblivion. In Oblivion's defense, however, it had much, much better side quests, even though the...

A bunch of feminists beat me up the other day. They stole my video games and replaced them with copies of Gone Home and Depression Quest.

Those quests were very poorly written, but honestly, I preferred them to the stupid radiant dungeon crawls that made up about 90% of the game's quests. Just in terms of writing, though, definitely "Kid in a Fridge."

I strongly disagree with that article. The backlash against F4 isn't coming from diehard Bethesda-lovers who were eagerly awaiting what they fully expected to be the greatest video game ever made; it's coming from the fans of earlier Fallout and/or Bethesda games who have grown increasingly...

I suppose Bethesda felt like they need to maintain the all-important atmosphere of perpetual anarchy. Peace and civilization are boring when there could be fighting and killing instead!

They added farms this time around, which I appreciated. I would make a joke here about how Bethesda finally realized that food actually needs to come from somewhere, but there were always farms in their TES games, so I really have no idea why they didn't bother including them in F3.

In fairness to TES, starting those games out as a prisoner is an old tradition by now. Every game in the main series has included it except for Daggerfall, and even a couple of the spinoffs have thrown it in. Also, there are a number of ways that the setup can be varied so as to stop it from...

I'm always amused by how the people who apparently hate Sarkeesian the most are the ones who talk about her the most. Angry gamers made her famous, and angry gamers continue to keep her relevant today. If you dislike what she has to say so much, than just stop talking about her. She will never...

This is the greatest piece of literature I have ever set on my eyes on. Not since reading "The Eye of Argon" have I wept such tears of joy. Thank you for linking us to this masterpiece.

I couldn't believe how bad the ending was when I saw it. It's pretty much just your dude saying, "This isn't what I wanted. But shit happens. Because war, war never changes."

I don't think they equip their initiates with power armor in this game. You aren't supplied with any until you reach the Prydwen, at any rate.

No, they make you an Initiate when you first join. You don't get promoted to Paladin until you've completed "Blind Betrayal."

If Fallout truly does have to modernize and go mainstream to stay relevant in this day and age, then is it too much to ask that we at least get some good modern, mainstream games out of it? In all honesty, the fact that the series has changed doesn't bother me nearly as much as the fact that...

I haven't uninstalled my game. Because I've already bought the season pass for all the DLC. I know, I know. I'm part of the problem. :sad:

Personally, I really liked the film. I do wish it had been a bit less derivative of A New Hope - the dumb Starkiller thing in particular was a rehash of a rehash and ought to have left out - but on the whole, it was an enjoyable romp with a fine cast and a great sense of fun. As for Rey being...

Censorship! Oppression! Tyranny! (probably a good call tbh)
