Never been madder at myself than I am over spending money for any of this fey, French... Work.

Thought i must be missing something in the preview videos, let's play videos and whatnot. It looked almost specifically designed to turn me off at every turn.

But the reviews were universally off-the-charts laudatory. I must be missing something!

Nope! Worse than I expected. Trust your instincts- if this (or anything) looks offensively bad, trust yourself. Everything isn't for everyone.

Still trying to "get" GTA5... Several hours in and all I can think is "why does Rockstar allow this Chinese pirate game be sold?"

Even the supposedly great graphics look cheap... Like a copy of "Great Thieve Automobile" you'd buy in a back alley of Moscow or Bejing. Everything is at least a step back (or more) from 4 or even San Andreas. Including the overall esthetic.

So, following The Sims 4 model?

Cool! I'll save my money and play the ENJOYABLE Civ5 and ignore the $$$ drip, drip dripping of DLCs. You know, like intelligent people do while ignoring the markedly inferior Sims 4 while playing an enjoyable game like Sims 3.

IGNORE this article if you are beginning to mod FO4!!!

At least 2 of these mods should never be used (regardless of its Nexus popularity) as they will likely make your save files unplayable, and assuredly will not function with other mods.

Armorsmith and scrap everything should not be part of any mod order as both break precombines, eventually making the game literally unplayable from your save files.

If you want an actual guide for modding F4, you could do much worse than "The Midnight Ride " as it focuses on making F4 more stable, and provides a solid basis for additional mods for a unique experience. It is regularly updated, and unlike this article provides usable community assistance in modding matters.

If you want to write about which karma system (3 vs. NV), at least know the basics!

3's karma system is simpler and, all in all, worse than New Vegas'. 3 has a simple good/bad scale that is universally applied. New Vegas includes this but adds a reputation scale for each of the various factions/communities, giving a more realistic perspective.

Never has 3's reputation system been called better than New Vegas'!

Have to seriously wonder about both the judgement and (especially) morality of anyone wanting to model their protagonist after Maximus specifically.

My biggest hope for season 2 is to see the gutless, murdering coward beaten to death by... Well anyone. A true p.o.s. From every angle!

No. No. No.

Bringing up "Mothership Zeta" as a positive in any way, shape or form tells me more than enough about the author's (utter lack of) taste...

Unquestionably the worst dlc from Bathesda. And not even close.

Fallout has enough interesting content that jumping down a BADLY conceived, horribly executed joke rabbit hole is the worst "idea" for Fallout fan fiction to be proposed publicly!

Please, please, please, make the game so I can never make a mistake. No matter what.

Even better, make the game play itself. Perfect, 100% completion with no player input! That'd be a blast!!!

A lazy "idea" for a studio that has become very lazy with its game production.

We've got the show, don't try to make the game a spin-off of it. Maybe try an angle that doesn't leave fans thinking "been there, done that..." (Ala Starfield ) after a few hours - actually more of a "been there, done that, but then it was fun"!

Fallout 4, Fallout London, RDR 2, and Fallout TTW. Those are.my currently active games. In the case of TTW it is 2 very large games in one (Fo3 and FNV in one)

I have thousands of hours on each (except London- only hundreds on that specific mod, too new for thousands, but it'll likely get there).

But Starfield? About 10 hours, and unlikely to see 20. Not very long at all, Shen! The world provides.... Solutions, and I wouldn't look to those involved in such mediocrity (at best!) For answers when they themselves are specifically the problem.

Starfield being how it is makes more sense when you hear from people who developed it.

Several factions from Fallout's past would be welcome.

Unfortunately, it will come from Fallout's future, where Bathesda will smooth out any rough edges that will make it a (bad) cartoonish parody of what fans anticipate.

When that is done, they'll decide that it should be a lesbian coven working on, for the good of all mankind, the Communist revolution.

And then all decent people will praise the game as "important ".

It ain't sexy, not entertaining, and if it works you can't even tell it is in your load order...

Can't play without Long Loading Time Fix. Just too embarrassing to actually fall asleep while your in-game character waits/sleeps as the timer (in game) can seemingly runs slower than real life time passes!!!
