Kotnick is just a rat fleeing a sinking ship. ActiBlizz is going to continue to get more exploitative and mediocre, him leaving will make no outward difference imo

(I base this on my extensive knowledge of never having worked in the games industry or accomplishing anything of note in my entire life)

kotick is a poo poo but hew escaping with a golden parachute. gently caress him.

actiblizz is heading towards zombie studio status like bioware. they own some brands people recognize but utterly incapable of making something new.

Once in 2014.

I was hopeful for this because I thought the original developer really improved with The Surge 1 and 2 but just learned they did not actually make this game.

Dead Money isn't that fun to play, but the atmosphere is intense. The gold bit is a weirdly great usage of the video game medium to make a point about greed.

Another New Vegas sesh today:

...
...
...

The first thing I want to talk about is that the gunplay in this game is quite good. Pistols have a severe drop-off in range, but the bolt-action varmint rifle that I have costs a lot of AP if I'm using VATS, or can't shoot rapidly (because it's bolt-action, of course) if I'm just shooting in real-time. So there's a real sense of using the rifle to drop a dude from afar and from stealth, and then needing to switch to a gun once things close-in. Or, alternatively, that the player has to run in and get up close if, like me, they run out of 5.56 ammo.

Because that's exactly what happened partway into trying to break into the NCRCF - there were still two or three gangers up in the guard towers, and I plum run out of bullets for the rifle, so I switch to the 9mm and just ran for the door to the Visitor's Center. Luckily, I'd already killed the named ganger that had the keys to the center and I was able to walk right in ...

... to about half a dozen more gangers inside the building. In this case, a pistol did have its time to shine, since it's cheap on the AP, and the close environs meant VATS percentages for headshots was high. I did my best gunslinger impression, doming three enemies in the first burst of VATS, then jumping out of the way of a thrown grenade, and then gunning down the rest, before freeing Meyer.

He needs a pardon from the NCR before he'll sign-on to be Primm's sheriff, and he points me towards Camp Mojave, way down in the south, so I go back up to Goodsprings, stock up on ammo once more, and begin the long trek across the wasteland.

The gun design comes up again when fighting off radscorpions in the blasted freeways: I could take one out with a double-shot of VATS with varmint rifle targeting its stinger, but if there was more than a single one, I'd have to switch to the 9mm again and blast them in the face up close.

I make it to Camp Mojave, and thankfully securing a pardon for Meyer is a simple matter of talking to the CO in the camp, and using my high Speech skill to convince him to sign-off on it. I take a fast-travel back to Primm, talk to Meyer, and tell him the good news.

+400 XP, and I hit level 4.

Before I save and exit, I check back on the casino, and I find that all the NPCs are filing out to exit into the outdoors to take their old places across the town, now that it's safe again. It's a good feeling.

everyone please attempt to minimize spoilers for Gradenko, I want him to be able to enjoy the rich community, detailed NPCs, and narrative quest chains available in Nipton and Camp Searchlight.

about halfway through cyberpunk and I�m enjoying it, but still not entirely convinced. the rpg bits and the gunplay are definitely better than before the expansion, but it still feels like better version of a Ubisoft collectathon. like half of all sidequests (and pretty much all of the gazillion map icons) come down to shooting a room of gangbangers with mediocre ai, and the story quests aren�t much better. just had the forced sex scene between Johnny silverwick and his gf, and that was so bad. the low point so far

regarding gunplay, some enemies have armor - there's an icon that pops up in the hud when your bullets are plinking off of their armor.
you need to use a lot of bullets or find/craft armor-piercing bullets for those.

I say this because I don't think the game explains this very well.

when in doubt, use a billion explosives

in the complete edition of the game you can make these:

which requires the bare minimum of explosives skill points and is comprised of parts you'll find everywhere and in vendors. the only possible reason they did this was to have a goofy incentive to buy the DLC

After playing Doom Eternal I went back for a bit of 2016 and noticed how well they refined the combat between games. 2016 isn't as quick and punchy. Eternal is great work and I look forward to whatever is next from them, although Mick Gordon is a one of a kind composer and even in the DLC his absence is missed.
