I don't get it, what is the point of selling discs at all if you still need to download such a huge chunk? If you have a crappy internet connection ~20 gigs will still take an eternity to download; if you have a good one, it really doesn't matter if you download 20 or 50 gigs (or however big the...

Redundant...

A mostly fair review. The most telling bit is at the end, in the parental advisory bit: "For those unfamiliar with the Fallout games, the combat involves watching thousands of enemies get their heads and limbs blown off in slow motion." Bethesda's game design in a nutshell.

The complete lack of integrity of the main gaming publications is hardly surprising. What I would like to know, though, is if it is true that the game's EULA specifically prohibits the use of script extenders and such. I've read rumors about it in some places, but I haven't seen any hard...

FO4 reviews just in: - as a "Skyrim with guns" game 10/10 - as a hiking simulator and "playing with enemy corpses and positioning them in suggestive ways" game: 10/10 - as a modder's playground and Barbie game: 8/10 - as a first/third person shooter: 5/10 - as a role-playing game: 3/10 - as a...

Derp!

Hmm, I may have to downgrade my system just in case I get home drunk some night and start thinking "maybe, just maybe, it won't be so horribly bad". Or can someone 100% confirm that beer goggles don't work on computer games?

Ahh, but you must understand that the important part is that after the bodies have exploded, you can pick up and move the giblets around. You can also put them on shelves or in buckets. Or maybe roll them down hills. Or decorate your home with them and be as cool as all the vampires/super...

Yes. Since they feel the need to make the game a shooter, at least they should make it a good shooter. Hopefully this means that the retarded -- and I mean retarded even by Bethesda standards -- way bullets simply did no damage at all when hitting at longer ranges has been done away with. It...

The (not so) funny thing is, that BioWare actually could, and did, write a very good romance plot in KotOR for Bastila and the player. I think it actually is the best written and implemented romance story in any RPG I've played. At the very least it is the most memorable for me. It felt natural...

What do you mean? We had level scaling at my school and it was awesome! Whenever we had to take tests, the teachers would ask how hard you had studied for it, and if you replied "not at all, I was busy playing with my navel lint", they'd go "OK, that's fine" and give you the easy test (the one...

I like having real time looting in FPS games. However, combining it with Bethesda's usual janky, console-style interface sounds less appealing. And since opening the magic Pip-Boy still will freeze time, including in the middle of combat I would imagine, it seems like a weird feature to add...

The issue isn't the choice in itself, but that choices in Bethesda's games have no consequences. That is how they design their whole games, from the ground up, the philosophy being that the player should always be able to do absolutely everything. The only way for that to work, is if you...

Don't forget how awesome the combat AI is! A guy in PA with a minigun starts shooting at everybody, yet no one even tries to take cover. And this stupidity is made even more glaring by the fact that there are sandbag fortifications right next to them! I have to say, releasing an FPS in 2015...

I would like to see hit and damage decals applied to the individual parts of a PA when they get banged up. And preferably different ones for different types of damage, like scorch marks from energy weapon damage, round dents when shot by ballistic weapons, black sooty spots when burned, etc...

Making an NPC non-essential is (IIRC) just a matter of loading him/her in the GECK, un-ticking a box and then saving as a new .ESP. Couldn't be easier, actually. Finding and modding all of them might be a bit of a chore, though. But the main issue will be that due to Bethesda's lazy game design...

Yeah, when the Bethesda hype machine switches to overdrive, what you need is wheelbarrows of salt, since pinches won't cut it anymore! Whenever I hear Toddy or Hiney start promising things, I'm always reminded of this old thing...

Yeah, the paradoxal thing with Bethesda's games is that, from a role-playing perspective, there is too much freedom, since the only way to give the player all that freedom is for it to come without any sort of consequences. As you say, Geralt can't run around murdering innocent civilians since...
