Okay, so I pre-purchased Fallout 4 from GMG, and then Bethesda found another oil well to feed the Fan-Boy B8000 sweatshop so what should I do with the GMG copy? I've considered running a competition somewhere, but I suspect the code will be locked to Australia. Boogaleeboo posted:Man, I'm trying to think of something worse than a game with Kojima writing without the anal retentive game design. A Kojima fanboy attempting to emulate his hero? And failing miserably? Because he ignores everything the people in the top notch studio working with him suggest because it detracts from his vision? His vision of shunning a game control nigh vital to a 3D game while making a 3D game? And giving his protagonist a justifiable nervous breakdown without explaining to the audience that hasn't read a shittily drawn tie-in manga written years ago and not translated into other languages what that justification is, inadvertently setting gaming culture's understanding of mental illness back at least ten years? While looking like a Japanese Tommy Wiseau? I ain't bitter.

I once believed that the MG series had to continue to be so popular because everyone was in on the joke that Kojima was a clownish hack and just wanted to see what he did next, but people actually believe he is as talented as he actually deludes himself to be. It's loving weird.

The open world/reactive parts of MGSV so far are really well done. There's a definite enemy ecology to learn and exploit and I think that could do wonders for a game set in the Fallout universe. "Do whatever you want!" usually means that nothing off the beaten path will actually respond meaningfully to your actions, but with Kojima's need to have absolutely everything do something in the mix I could see it turning out great.

The only drawback to a Kojima Fallout game is that we won't know if war changes or not.

It's loving weird. Well he's talented at making weird games that are also usually good. MGS5 so far has been basically the best open world stealth game I've played in my life. Also you never know if a cutscene will have serious stuff about the war economy or if your soldiers are just throwing you a birthday party because it's your birthday in real life. Though it's hard to say how much of that is Kojima and how much of it is anyone else in the development team. I don't think Kojima is a clownish hack. I think he's just a clown who's really good at his job.

Turds in magma posted:Witcher 3 and MGS:V are better than fallout 4 will ever possibly be and both have voiced protagonists. Owned, scrubs. Bethesda get a ton of things wrong while being fun to play, that's pretty much the exact opposite of CDPR games to me. Kudos to CDPR for bringing geralts world to life so well, I just don't get any kick at all out of being in his story. I'll probably put a ton of time into FO4 just loving about, on the other hand.

It's the first thing said in the first game's intro, and the first thing said in the second game's intro. Then Interplay folded and I guess Bethesda just continued the theme.

I'm not sure if luck reduces the resource timer but if it did, it probably would shift each data point equally, resulting in no real change in results. Looks like someone transposed 4 and 6 when writing the parameters. 26 food every 46 seconds (as opposed to every 64) seems like it would fit right in there.

I'd also recommend the New Vegas Bounties and New Vegas Bounties II which also have a story arc to them. The Afterschool Special quest has you rebuilding the Goodsprings school into a nice little player home. He also made New Vegas Killer, starring Bobby Bass, solid voice acting on his part and drat he is funny. Alchestbreach did a playthrough of that series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRzBehkv394

OTOH all my rooms are 3 wide because gently caress clicking on more rooms it's not like I'm short either space or people. I've got super reactors and cola bottlers and that's it. My vault is an experiment in diabetes.

If F3/NV required the level of planning that MGSV did they would take hundreds more hours to beat. I think I'd be OK with that.
