I never got into Fallout 4 either, I think I was just sick of the janky ui and lovely gamebryo engine by that point

whats a build
it's when you approach the game and put all of your energy into trying to optimize your numbers output by some arbitrary point of progress

fo4 is ultimately not terribly difficult shy of survival mode and generally does not warrant that kind of effort. it certainly doesn't pay it off in any way that's worthwhile

yeah in theory any character is going to get to all perks and 10/10 for every stat. going to 11 in any stat requires a little more thought but is not ever worth it

just started playing divinity 2, and got suckered into a higher difficulty by people online saying that the standard difficulty was pretty easy. immediately struggling i read a bit more, and found that the higher difficulty are easy *if* you correctly pick one of the approved and correct munchkin builds, rather than just picking stuff what seems cool and thematic the way i did.

carry on then

that's a great way to put it. i never understand it when people hype up a game because the systems are so poorly-designed that they can trivialize combat or whatever. like, if the combat sucks so bad that you want to just get it over with...that's a bad game, or at least one with way too much padding. for some reason people always refer to this as "breaking it over their knee." but i just want to play the game and have it be fun, and also not too hard, and preferably not too easy but i'd much rather it be a bit easy as long as it's fun/engaging.

that's cause it dynamically scales the image quality to maintain a high framerate. you can turn that feature off and it's much more crunchy.

it's ultimately not that bad an effect though because it happens very quickly and just kinda looks like texture pop-in, and you're moving so fast that it doesn't matter. good choice and i didn't realize it was happening for several hours

i do not remember the last time i played a game with load times as long as fallout 4, and that on a relatively recent set of hardware

already more fun than the brief amount of outer worlds i played so unless it's awful i'll probably be into it as long as i try not to compare it to new vegas

fallout 4 was very boring. the power armor was cool. but you get it super early and it runs out of gas, making you not want to use it and therefore boring

For the absolute shitmountain that No Mans Sky was on launch, the devs have gone above and beyond to salvage their reputation and the rep of the game
