    Blade Runner 2049 announcement trailer!

    True, but the director has no say in the actual content. It's the lead writer and the producer, and Ridley Scott already announced that he will not allow a director's cut, which is a dick move is anything. As for George Miller, true, the old man really blew everyone with Fury Road. But then...

    Blade Runner 2049 announcement trailer!

    I should be excited for this. But the thing is... I'm not. And bear with me, Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies. But Michael Green (Green Lantern) as lead writer? That's disturbing. Also, Ridley Scott. Alright, I loved the man. He made several movies that are in my top10 movies of all...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I don't know, I liked Witcher 2 for what it was. I didn't care much about the gameplay which is average at most, but I think it's the one with the most distinctive atmosphere of the franchise. More dark fantasy than Witcher 3. About the story, W3 is great for the drama and Geralt's personal...

    Star Wars: Rogue One

    Alright, I just watched Rogue One. I'll try to keep this spoiler free. First off, the bad points. The music was... er, forgettable at most. Too grandiloquent at some moments, and no central melody. This is a problem. Secondly, the first 20 minutes are a little too fast, but I understand why. The...

    Star Wars: Rogue One

    I'm french sacrebleu! Next time I'll take out my Oriflamme.

    Star Wars: Rogue One

    That's interesting, because I always thought that the rebellion was on the verge of something morally darker in the return of the jedi. Extremely agressive tactics, a more militaristic approach to the problem, and let's not forget what they did to the Ewoks, who used to live peacefully with the...

    Are the Mojave and New Vegas doomed?

    As said earlier, I picture them as ramblings from Ulysses, a paranoid crazy and solitary man, obsessed with the ideas of threats to nations. Something that fuels his paranoia, but not an actual threat.

    Star Wars: Rogue One

    Alright, thanks a lot for your thoughts on Rogue One. I think I'll give it a try then, I loved the Empire Strikes Back and I'm curious to see a new Star Wars movie of that tone. Well, the thing that always bothered me about the original rebellion is that they are... er, small. From what we see...

    How many of us actually finished FO4?

    True. I played with a realistic weapon damage mod though, so the bullet sponges problem wasn't one in my playthrough. Same for the damage upgrades, they became utterly useless, I mostly crafted for better scopes, recoil, different ammo etc. And for that aspect, I think it worked pretty well. But...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I'm currently switching between Eve Online, Tyranny and Dishonored II, depending on the time and the mood. Eve is the only game I ever agreed to pay a monthly subscription for. Truly excellent, but unforgiving for new players. The difficulty curve is very different from most games, but it's...

    How many of us actually finished FO4?

    That's alright. Several other forum members defended what they perceived as Fallout 4's redeeming qualities, and so far, I am proud to say, almost fourteen of them are still alive and kicking! I have to admit that the weapon crafting system is pretty good. I miss it when I inevitably return to...

    Wasteland 3 and Torment: Tides of Numenera news

    Yeah, well... It made sense for me when I posted it. Now, however, not so much. Sorry about that.

    Evergreen mills

    Messing plot point and consistency point : check. There's a reason why there are farms around the Hub in Fallout 1, even if the said reason serves zero narrative purpose. A sense of consistency that makes the world alive and immersive. About that. Now, it's litteraly impossible to put Harold...

    Wasteland 3 and Torment: Tides of Numenera news

    So far, I trust Inxile and I backed Wasteland 3 with no regret. It's funny how Fallout Tactics ended up as the most forgotten Fallout title of the franchise, and yet, one of the most influential one (think about what the recent Xcom titles owe to Tactics, for example). Wasteland 3, potentially...

    The disappointment of the Spouse

    Huh! The idea of the real you being the antagonist is actually pretty interesting... if we keep the current Institute storyline. Because in order to become their leader, you'd have to... replace the real you. Assume "his" identity, and pretend that you are him. Which you are, but... well, you...

    Your bet for canonic DLC endings

    Lonesome Road ending with the destruction of the road to the NCR could actually be canon, if the said canon somehow ends up in the hands of Chris Avellone. He expressed the idea of a clean slate for the NCR quite a few times, and that would be the most logical way to do so. Could lead to a...

    Why is a battle going on in the DC ruins?

    Yes, the "we hunt you down because you've been too nice!" idea was cringy as hell. It's actually the moment I felt like I was too old for the game, and yet, seconds after : eyes popping out of skulls, brain scattered on the floor, and psycho in the loot of my foes. Weird mix of tones, really. At...

    Star Wars: Rogue One

    Hm. The movie seems good, full of good ideas -I'm really curious about the concept of the force monks, people religiously following the force, but who aren't jedis, apparently- but on the other hand, I'm afraid I'll be disappointed like I was for the force awakens. Don't get me wrong, I...

    Auralnauts Star Wars

    Yes, I discovered these guys when they did the bass-rap battle between Jango and Obi-Ben-Larry Kenobi, and I found it hilarious. Loved this new one, and I wonder what they have in their sleeves for the new episodes. The voice actors are pretty amazing, in my opinion. -I don't understand. I've...

    Is Elder Lyons a sneering Imperialist?

    Hm, I might have missed the dialogs where they explain that in Fallout 3. My bad. I remember the outcasts saying that Lyons would be executed as soon as they'd regain radio contact with California, but that's pretty much it. It still poses the logistical issue though. How could the brotherhood...
