When i was 10 I thought Bushido Blade was the coolest thing because right when you think you understand the controls and AI opponents, the story mode gets to the point where it puts you on the roof with a guy with a gun and he shoots you 1 second into the match.

So why not take a bunch of fermented MGS:Revengence DNA and stick it in there too? I mean MGSR was cool because it was wacky and over the top right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uk83ceNRo8

Like if Way of the Samurai had Bushido Blade combat so you get these brutal and fast Akira Kurosawa battles in a completely non-linear narrative driven game. Sadly, you'd have to make it happen to the player, too, and by then you're deep into Robinson's Requiem territory.

I've just finished reading Cursed Sight and I really enjoyed it. Despite the appearances, it's a well-told story, not some weird spin on a dating sim. The author put a lot of effort into the presentation and the story is quite engrossing, too. It's not that long, but I feel it's well worth the asking price. If you see a deal on it down the line, it's pretty much a no-brainer.

Fallout 4 will stand or fall on how much agency you're given in quests. I'm not expecting New Vegas levels of difference for the main story, but more than Skyrim's do quest/don't do quest for the side content.

FO3 was boring, NV was boring, Skyrim was boring. FO4 ain't gonna be good. Play Witcher 3 instead. Or Divinity 2. Or Stalker.

The bottom line is that FO4 doesn't look like it will be different than 3 gameplay-wise. They talk much about changes but then you look at the gamaplay videos and it's the same thing again. Now whether that is a good thing to you as a player is another question - you liked Fallout 3 you'll enjoy Fallout 4, you didn't enjoy it then you won't. New Vegas's strength lied in the stories and quest outcomes and not in the mediocre combat which was all Obsidian's doing, Skyrim came out after that and was Bethesda stories all over again, there isn't any indication that FO4 will bring Obsidian's story quality with it.

Might be old news, but does look like CS:GO and Dota are consistently having over 50% of the user base on Steam. Noticed it other day and seems to be holding true. E.g. Last stats on Steam Charts are 781,018 for Dota 399,238 for CS:GO Total players in all Steam games - 2,184,741 i.e Dota & CS:GO players make up over 54% of total people playing a game on Steam at present. Valve must have a real life money pit by now, given how much they have to be making.

The Souls series is to reliant on canned combo animations so it just ends up being people waving sticks around, and Witcher 3 is far too concerned about looking stylish to really resemble anything remotely related to a melee. They work as systems (probably exactly because of those reasons), but just once I'd like to see swords and shields and spears behave like swords and shields and spears. It would most likely be pretty awful to play, though…  I suppose I'll blame Hollywood — that always works.

Yeah, I really need my character to have a sense of purpose of some kind in an open world game. Dicking around can be fun depending on how much stuff they shove in to do or what "off-script" shenanigans the AI can get up to, but that'll only take you so far. I have over 80 hours logged into Skyrim and a very small amount of that was spent actually doing the main story. I think I made it to like 1/6th of the way through? But there were a ton of those Radiant quests that had me going to every little cave and grotto and Dwemer city, so that kept me occupied, and the world was interesting enough to keep me engaged. But at no point did I ever feel like I was doing any of that for a reason. In New Vegas I actually had a purpose for everything I did. I'd get to know a character, decide if I liked them enough to do an errand for them (generally the answer was yes), and then go and help them. A lot of the quests were tied into the main conflict, so you could gently caress up the Legion and help the NCR, or you could decide that you'd rather be evil and start wrecking NCR encampments (not quest-related but still). Helping the Kings and Followers at Freeside felt like you were doing something important for the people. In Skyrim it was always "go to <PLACE> and kill the <TARGET NPC> who is threatening <TOWN>", occasionally it'd be a single bear that got into one family's house or whatever. But I didn't give a poo poo about anybody in Skyrim, they were interchangeable and it was like playing with action figures in a giant fantasy playset.

I'll judge FO4 when it's actually out and people have played it, I know better than to trust any pre-release information of any kind when it comes to Bethesda games. Ultimately our opinions are pretty irrelevant anyway as it'll sell millions and get 10/10 reviews regardless.
