I just trolled around steam's store until I bought one game, tried to buy another game I already own, and then played titanfall 2 for 3 hours.

God drat steam is good at what they do.

Be careful what you wish for in FO4 - vertibird travel is not immune to the raider guy in SE boston carrying a fat man. Yeah that more or less ended my survival save game with how far it set me back.

For all their talk of air superiority, in a normal game on normal difficulty, after the BoS comes in, the rest of the game until you destroy the BÖRDMÖM has a constant background noise of vertibirds being brought down by small arms fire by nobody NPCs. It's amazing.

they made a movie about this, you defect and have a cool character arc at first then get shuffled into a comic relief side character because of racism

fo4 would be legit amazing if it was all as good as far harbour, and the speech options were better than

- Yes but for more caps
- Duh
- No (but add the quest marker anyway, so really Yes)

agreed, games should have punishing difficulty and should be reserved only for those who can afford to plow hours upon hours into them in order to find any enjoyment at all

I also agree. but you should be able to summon other players to your game to help you out if you want to

iirc there are some weird scaling and leveled enemies that are just bullet sponge garbage that you might not be intended to engage that early. i didnt finish it because it was such a horseshit garbage game, sloggy shooting that makes even NV feel better, and surprisingly really loving ugly 'chromatic abberation' diahhrea slurry spew, ontop of awful "hmm maybe capitalism is good? both sides many sides". i can tolerate the latter as not every game needs to be Disco Elysium, but the gameplay and everything was just horrible.

i regret the $1 i spent buying Xbox Game Pass for it.

I'm all for on-line multi-player for party-based adventure games. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Forgotten Realms Baldur's Gate was pretty drat great with co-op.

the moment I noticed all the enemies track you through walls and had no AI whatsoever kinda ruined it for me, although saying 'ruin' makes it like the game had other, good things about it.

i mean the enemies just get plain spongier, but the tactics are the same

it plays like nv without the pluckiness of nv and without the combat refinement of fo4, idk, looking back i didnt really care about the outcomes and the split worlds made the exploration too simple for my preferences

i mean i grew up playing games that would just perma-track through all walls/foliage/etc and shoot you across the map, that part wasn't that big of deal and i just always kinda presume they do it in most games and more surprised when they don't than when they do, but yeah kinda embarrassing for a late 2019 game. it was just such an absolutely lazy game all-around.

i think there's even places on the solar system map that're not reachable and will be the 'dlc' but were probably original game content trimmed for time or upselling later

it felt skeletal at parts where some smaller quests would smooth out the empty spaces youre pushed through and in a fallout game would have had more content or more quirky interaction

yeah this

at least outer worlds had you taking your crewmate out for drinks to psyche them up to ask someone out, rest of the game was medium

and the retro futurism was really out of place imo

the evil faction was also comically evil, not sure who would ever side with them, even compared to like the legion in nv
