The Sahara Desert is very, very different from the radioactive pit depicted in Fallout 3. The Sahara has the Nile River, the Niger River, aquifers, the oases said aquifers form, and one of its lakes even has drinkable water. These are the sorts of places that people live in. Modern technology...

The thing is, I'm not. The capital wasteland being as inhospitable as it is, no one would stay. Just the lack of a clean water source would mean no one would willingly stay there. In fact, it would be in their best interest to leave as soon as they could and take a chance at finding somewhere...

In regards to the thread topic, my leanings are for the NCR not to collapse. What I would most prefer is that the story of New Vegas ended with the House/Independent ending. This denies victory to both the NCR and Legion, but could still allow them to be relevant in future games. NCR, for all...

"geez want to wash down that salt. Fallout 4 is better than new vegas- have you seen the graphics? Or gameplay? wait, you're going to tell me how the story is better. fuck off, righting is subjective and shooting isn't" I'm wondering what it says about me that my knee-jerk reaction to this...

Less, yet more. One of the things that's bugged me in Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4 is that the areas the games take place in are real places, and yet the distances involved are shortened by a lot in order to facilitate not taking three hours to get from place to place. Bethesda games also have a...

Humor has always been a factor in Fallout, but there was always a consistency underneath. Fallout was always about humans, dealing with human problems, in a world filled with the absurd. The first game's main antagonists were a bunch of Hulk wannabes led by a guy who melted on top of a computer...

It is in fact that the aliens were brought into it that takes what merit that story has and does away with it. Humanity only setting aside their differences to band together to face a common threat (often space aliens) is almost a parable at this point. Of all the unrealistic and ridiculous...

I'm not a gameplay purist, one of those types who insist that Fallout should keep to it's roots and be a PnP game using a computer. While I greatly prefer that style, it's not the most important factor for me. New Vegas proved that you could still do Fallout using the new style. Fallout 3 had...

Of course violence is important to the series. The issue is that a lot of the fighting is just for the sake of it in the recent games. Lore justifications are flimsy at best. The focus shifting to what you're fighting instead of why you're fighting.

"My idea is to explore more of the world and more of the ethics of a post-nuclear world, not to make a better plasma gun." -Tim Cain. That's all.

On that list I went with Matty. He always felt like he'd hop on every bandwagon possible, and honestly his taste in games outside of Fallout is a bit bland.

Nope. I still dislike Fallout 3 more than I dislike Fallout 4. Fallout 4 I can actually have some fun with in a mindless sort of way. Fallout 3 actively enrages me in a way that Fallout 4 does not. Fallout 4 actually has some mechanical things that I can muck about with and have fun with. If I...

Just played through Valley. I liked it. First person platformer, mostly story driven, I enjoyed my time with it. To me, it felt like playing a Miyazaki film.

Now, this is something in Elite, but the explanation they gave was one that I appreciate. There is not, in fact, any sound in a vacuum, the sounds you hear like other ships shooting, flying around, etc, are actually just things that your ship picked up on its sensors and is generating in the...

So... they pulled a Halo 2?

Alright, I'm just gonna come out and say this. Voice acting is ruining RPGs. Specifically, the obsession with voicing every single line in the game. I'm sick of it, especially because no one has outright gone and gotten a voice cast large enough to make me not start noticing when it's the same...

-I think VR will do well in games that involve you not moving your body but controlling something. So things like driving games, space sims, or things like Artemis with friends. It could also find a niche in areas outside of traditional gaming. -Elite: Dangerous is definitely a love it or hate...

I'd like a headset for something like Elite Dangerous, or Eurotruck. Cockpit/driving games it would be great for. Other games, not so much. I'd use a VR headset more for things like simulating a movie theater to watch things on. In that regard, I really dig the idea of VR.

That's fair. I don't mind it myself though, considering what I'd played of it in its first year got me interested enough to continue with it in the future. While I normally am wary of yearly installments in a series, that my progression is not wiped in Elite helps keep me interested. Whether or...

They're kids. There are exceptions, but by and large children do not have terribly refined tastes. They'll jump on bandwagons, live for the hype, and in general just... be kids. If some of them get really passionate about games, they'll start to delve a little bit deeper. Some will not do so...
