Fallout 3's biggest merit is that they actually translated Fallout into a 3D experience with working structure, rpg elements etc. I must say it was an insanely difficult task and the devs did it well. New Vegas took those mechanics and had actually cool content built around them.

Do the Spore expansion packs somehow magically make Spore a good game? I am almost tempted to buy them now that they're 5 bucks but then again I make bad decisions a lot.

Fallout 3 is perfectly good even compared to New Vegas. If you need to compare how "Fallouty" they are then 3 is more like 1 and NV is more like 2.

Have you already played through Spore once? Do not buy it. If you haven't, $5 is about what one playthrough is worth, if you really really want to.

I'm gonna say I didn't get or like the story very much in Lonesome Road, but I did have lots of fun playing it. Some people don't like the Dead Money DLC but they are wrong, wrong, wrong, as it's my favourite.  My favourite part of the whole game by far.The DLC in 3 comes no where close to anything New Vegas has, sadly.

God no, still poo poo. Edit: to clarify - Spore is still a set of minigames that have a loose connection. The two packs add a bunch of parts for 'evolving' your animal (almost entirely cosmetic), and the galactic conquest addition is effectively a very bad space trading game that uses your built race. It's worth a playthrough, then you've seen everything. Will Wright is forever on my shitlist for Spore. The hype-train was ridiculous and ended up with molyneux-esque 'yeah, you can do that' for pretty much everything. Hav fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Wow, this was a surprise: http://store.steampowered.com/app/294860/ Valkyria Chronicles PC port; $18 bux. This game is a really great strategytactics RPGanime. And when I say "really great" that's something, because I really hate most anime nonsense, and this game looks anime as hell. The gameplay, however, is so good that the anime nonsense didn't even faze me. You cannot skip the anime cutscenes the first time through the game, which is slightly annoying. The game universe itself is an alternate-reality Europe with big fuckoff tank guns and guys running around with rocket launchers that look like lances. Instead of Jew persecution, there is "Darcsen" persecution, where "Darcsen" are people that - if I recall corrrectly - had some sort of innate magical power or some nonsense, and they were ostracised for some past environmental calamity or something that they did not cause, as the story turns out, rather unsurprisingly. That bit was pretty weak, because on the one hand you've got the game going through the effort of creating Jew-analogues that are clearly sympathetic characters that are unfairly persecuted (bigotry = bad), but on the other hand the game makes clear that these people are fundamentally very different from "regular" human beings (there is a "Master Race"). That wasn't really thought through clearly, in my opinion, but it doesn't really play into the actual game in any context other than itself, and could have been totally thrown away without loss, or it could have been dealt with in a more meaningful way without bordering on being insulting. The best way to describe it is turn-based WW2 themed tactical battles with class-based RPG elements. You will field between 4-10 units of various familiar class types (sniper, scout, assault, heavy weapon) including usually either one or two tank units. The tanks are somewhat customizable, and the infantry units have unlockable skills. Enemy units will be comprised of a variety of the same types of infantry units and usually one or more tank units. The battles last a nice amount of time (about 30-45 mins unless you figure out how to do them the fast way) and offer an entertaining amount of challenge - not too hard, not too easy. There are several difficulty levels, but honestly once you get everything figured out the difficulty is a non-issue. There's more to the game than this, but I don't want to go on too much about it. It was a PS3 exclusive, and VC2 was a PS Vita (I think) exclusive that I never got to play. The story is pretty decent as well, and I was honestly most surprised by the way gender affinity was used in the game in some amusing ways - there is a mechanic where certain units have affinities of various kinds, some of which are gender-based. A few of the units have gay affinity, and one of them in particular is hilariously over-the-top as a flamer ala South Park's "Big Gay Al" character. One of my favorite characters just because he was so funny. If you have the chance, unlock the Japanese voices and listen to this particular character in Japanese, just to get an interesting glimpse into how the developers chose to portray this stereotype in English and in Japanese. The gender affinity really is a very small part of the game overall, in fact just a minor mechanic; but it struck me so much mainly because it's probably the first time I've ever noticed a game that dealt with homosexuality in such a matter-of-fact way: it's definitely not an "issue" that is dealt with in the game. The game just happens to have sexual orientation as a mechanic, almost just like FFT had zodiac affinity, for example. Some characters are gay, but that's just it: they are gay, and others are straight. It's a fact of life that is just there and nobody thinks twice about it. Having so many gay friends, I found this to be really refreshing, although it doesn't (to me) seem to mesh with the Jew/Darcsen issue I talked about before. Seriously though if you don't generally think about our rainbow brothers and sisters (because you are accepting, not because you don't care) you won't even really notice this other than get a chuckle, and if you are a gayhating bigot you would really just not put this unit in any battles because it would drive you crazy. Either way, you'll still enjoy the game because it's very good. All ur anime:

If you are going to play F:NV for the first time or again because of the discussion here, get JSawyer mod by project lead and goonbro Josh Sawyer to make your trek through the wasteland difficult in a way that isn't the usual bullet sponge enemies and glass cannon player. quote:While it is considered unofficial by its creator, it does provide insight into the aims of the lead developer and contains planned tweaks that never made it into the final release or in official patches.

I enjoyed both Fallout 3 and New Vegas, for different reasons, but the one DLC that got under my skin was The Pitt. It should be easy to hate a slaver and thus root for the oppressed, right? But nope, by the time I was done I was so thoroughly disgusted with both sides of the conflict I ended up killing everybody in any position of power. I actually felt pretty good when I finished Dead Money in FNV, but for the Pitt, I just felt dirty.

The only good Fallout 3 DLC was Mothership Zeta. The Pitt was half-finished garbage, Operation: Anchorage was a pointless linear romp, and Point Lookout was full of bizarrely bullet spongey enemies. e: Broken Steel was good too i guess
