Your battery will recharge when nothing's in use. It recharges faster with high stamina and if you're moving as well.

Every time I get a new place with a workbench, I ritualistically hunt down everything I can destroy that isn't in working condition.

Then I set about repairing fences and doors wherever possible. Then I get to designing a dream town.

I really like FO4.

it's not, the xbone one definitely looks nicer, but you don't really need depth of field and ambient occlusion and stuff like that to enjoy tomb raider

the crystal dynamics tomb raider series actually has a good tradition of having perfect last-gen ports; the ps2 TR Legend was identical to the 360 one apart from graphical fidelity, and you could even switch between the two sets of models on the pc if you wanted to

yeah 360 is 720p and it runs good. xbox is 1080 except when its 900 and if you break stealth the AI scripts cause the game to drop to the low 20's fps and the screen to tear if there are a lot of ai's at once.

i have tr2013 on my pc and it runs fine most of the time, but lara's hair causes the framerate to dip when it's on screen.

So I take from this that it's poo poo. Not really surprising.

Finished Contradiction yesterday, it's a really fun goofy FMV game which really devolved into "The Adventures of Jenk: World worst Police Inspector!"

The ending left it on a cliffhanger though, like a Godzilla level cliffhanger where you know there's never going to be a sequel.

How does the "use your phone / mobile device as a pipboy" thing work? It sounds kinda cool, something that I might buy the game for in a year or so when it's $10 with all the dlc.

So tropico 5 is on sale, or more specifically it's assfuck ton of dlc is.


Is it even any good? I remember distinctly being quite disgusted with the game at launch due to being paltry and stripped from 4, and then they said there was gonna be like 10-12 20 buck dlcs. Is it a worthwhile bother or should I just wait till Calypso stops being prideful and finally bundles it all together in a cheap sale?

It works and you can play some bare retro minigames on your phone with it. Honestly I prefer the ingame pipboy just because it's on the screen where I'm playing the game.

You should, it's good if you like anything about Dragon Quest games. Before that one the only ones I'd played were the first two on NES years ago.

Sorry, how are those entries misleading? It seems like a pretty simple "here is how well these processors work with the game" thing.

I remember playing it a bit on PC and getting confused because the weapon selector was a d-pad shape with no key labels, but it used the 1-4 keys in some weird order other than just going around clockwise. So all else being equal you might as well go PS3 to avoid some control jank.

I personally love it for a couple reasons. If I am just exploring out of combat I don't have to pull up the pip boy to slam cassettes in my pip-boy, or consume rad-x. If I'm in a good spot in combat I prefer to use it instead of pausing the action.

My favourite thing though, is you can use it to equip armor while the game runs so you can decide if that armor is pretty enough. Or you can look at the new weapon while an npc keeps chatting.

The vsync on PC is terrible and absolutely ruins mouse control, but turning it off can gently caress things up if your computer is too powerful and will break scripted events.

PC version has a weird bug involving v-sync that never got fixed and was even present in the sequel lol
Otherwise they're pretty much the same other than the infuriating turret mini game being a lot easier on PC.

its not really a musou game the way they built everything and designed the levels. its mainly a tower defense type game with musou style combat and action rpg character leveling and skill unlocks. its not multiplayer because the tower defense segments would be trivial if someone could guard the object with the health bar while other players go close monster portals. instead you collect fallen monsters and redeploy them as allies to slow down the enemy hordes when you need to go do something else.

its a rad game and super fun. my only gripe is the horrifically bad town menu interface that makes everything you do in between battle take forever.
