    Good games you simply cannot get into (and ways to overcome it)

    Strangely, DOOM 2. I really like DOOM 1, and have finished it multiple times, but DOOM 2 is just not fun - or fun enough - for me. I can't get past the first dozen levels before I get bored of the game. Mainly because I know that mancubus and pain elemental spam is going to get upscaled to shit...

    Is it possible to completely port New Vegas

    As someone who is completely unfamiliar with modding, would it be possible to port over New Vegas to the updated engine Fallout 4 uses? If it is, is anyone trying to do it?

    A Eulogy for Fallout Van Buren (video)

    What was that name of that Kickstarter Fallout-like game that was posted here not too long ago?

    Piss off NMA with 1 sentence.

    Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is the definitive Fallout game.

    IS Fallout New Vegas better than 4?

    Hey! I like Jim Sterling! He's got a heart of gold.

    No Man's Sky is a huge (marketing) success

    Pioneer is a free space sim that features realistic space physics, moving planets, a large universe, planetary landing, and a number of different activities. It's inspired by the Elite series. It's pretty good, and free to boot! Oolite is a free reboot of the classic Elite games. It has all the...

    No Man's Sky turned Scammed Man's Buy

    I wouldn't say the scale of No Man's sky is impossible, just hard to do. Games near the scale of No Man's Sky have existed since the 80s with the Elite series seeing its inception in 1984. Elite didn't have 18 quintillion planets that you could land on, but it had 8 galaxies with 250 or so...

    No Man's Sky turned Scammed Man's Buy

    I wouldn't go as far as to say the game doesn't exist. There's nothing that was presented in the trailers that doesn't appear in the full game (aside from multiplayer.) It's more of a case of shady marketing and public hype. Shady marketing as in presenting the game to REALLY be unique every...

    No Man's Sky turned Scammed Man's Buy

    It really makes me upset, because the amount of variation on a handful of planets is surely impressive; however, going passed that handful makes it dull! If they instead put all that variation on a single planet it would be a much, much, MUCH better game. Imagine an Earth sized world to run...

    What games are we looking forward to?

    Mount&Blade: Bannerlord. Looks like a straight up improvement over Warband in every way. That makes it a must buy for me.

    No Man's Sky turned Scammed Man's Buy

    There's already a thread talking about how successful the marketing of the game is (and it really is), but the thread is targeting the wrong people. The thread SHOULD have been targeting Hello Games for their shady framing of what the game was supposed to be. I have not purchased the game. I...

    Best Fallout game

    As far as the classics go, I prefer Fallout 2 because it feels better and more complete than 1. But 1 has good atmosphere. It's kinda like the difference between DOOM 1 and 2, where DOOM 1 had the awesome atmospheric levels but DOOM 2 had way more stuff due to better tech and felt more complete...

    "Fallout 3 is Garbage, And Here's Why", video by hbomberguy

    I loved Fallout 3, and still love it now, because despite its obvious flaws and crippling problems, underneath there's good intent. The game has"it." The indescribable thing that games have that make them feel alive. The video game equivalent of a soul. I look at Fallout 4 and just see a money...

    New Fallout Map Size?

    But that game also suffers from a butt ugly map, and nothing inbetween important points. There should be a happy medium.

    NMA PnP: The Ruleset Collection Thread

    I personally love GURPS simple approach to skill checks, and combat in general. Everything can be done with 3d6, making it very lightweight. In the GURPS system, you roll low so your skill level is always accurately reflected. Since there are only a possible outcome ranging from 3-18 (with 3...

    Opinions on the Elder Scrolls

    I thought Skyrim was pretty good, despite it's dumbing down. It's about as equally dumbed down as Oblivion, really. Skyrim's just more polished.

    Fallout 4 VS Skyrim

    I'm going to be an odd one out, but I absolutely loved Skyrim. At first, I balked when I saw the dumbed down stats system, but the perks effectively replaced them in a way that worked. The visuals were crisp. The story, for me being a little 15 year old kid, was epic. The idea that I could go...
