I've recently started a new playthrough of New Vegas and I've been having quite a few thoughts on the subject so figured to write them down, in case they can spark some interesting discussion and hopefully enlighten me a little! I've posted here once or twice and lurked here a lot more, so I...

Seems legit.

Amazing news. Well deserved. I bet you guys will be cracking open celebratory beers immediately after hearing the news. What a night!

The entire point of PA in Fallout 4 is that it is common but that it has specific systems that more accurately reflect the experience of being inside PA. It is not a cRPG mechanic or a late game treat.

I had a big break from Nintendo after the GameCube. Though I must say I'm getting a lot of use out of the Wii U. Some of the enjoyment is probably nostalgia. There's a sense of familiarity and comfort from Nintendo's presentation, but their pure gameplay is so refined and satisfying that it...

I dunno, there are a few that aren't necessarily universally hated (that's a strong term) but are genuine disappointments. Mario Sunshine would be one for me. Resident Evil 6 (and 5 for lots of people). The most recent Sim City was a disaster. Fable 3 was a damp squib. Hotline Miami 2 = dud...

I can sense the feeling is deep, but Mario Maker is amazing. Honestly. It's the only reason I own a Wii U but I can't ever see myself regretting the purchase.

Fair enough. A great many people adore the game and hold it as a high point in the series. Though that plot twist. Man.

Really? There are so many examples that contradict this sentence. Especially in the year MGS V came out. What about Half Life 2? Mario Maker is probably one of the best games I've played in the past 10 years. The Witcher 3. That's pretty good.

Yes. This.

Things I like: Power armor - I know there's a lot of controversy around how early you obtain access to the power armor but I like it. There's a depth to the systems in the power amour this time around, and it makes for a welcome innovation. I'd much prefer that these iterations of Fallout...

I can see why people can have affection for some of the quirky bugs that occur. If it doesn't massively affect the game and is slightly amusing, I don't really mind that much. But when they cause issues in your play through then it's clearly a problem. I haven't had any of those yet in Fallout...

So be it. I don't care.
