It's nice that he kept his stupid pretentious intro and horribly lit face on screen for exactly a full minute before getting to the gameplay, it's important to establish that this is a Serious Intellectual Thing. Now let's talk about a completely different game and not show any of it. I mean, not even a screen shot. This is off to a great start, I'm thrilled to be participating in this man's intellectual discourse. EDIT: And in conclusion, fuckin' Gamergate amirite? Now watch me read a piece of paper rather then learn how to light a scene. I am so very cultured.

And you're not much of a conversationalist, but enough of things we cannot change. I just watched Super Bunny Hop's video of Fallout 4, and frankly this really feels like a Mass Effect lite with a Fallout skin. Honestly I feel like I got it completely right from what I saw in the previews. Time to give the preferential treatment that fans give nintendo and see how long it takes for this game to be a slod gaming experience. Maybe by first making the dialogue tree actually show you what you would sayif you pick that option. And I'm also still really peeved that apparently the ending is practically the same as starchild.

FourLeaf posted:Well that's disappointing. If the role-playing aspect has been shafted that much, maybe I won't get this after all. And I'm not sure how much mods will help. Personally I wouldn't call the role-playing aspect appreciably more shafted than it was by Fallout 3, as far as the series goes. It's certainly disappointing compared to the RP experience in New Vegas, but I don't think anybody was expecting Bethesda to what Obsidian does best (taste depending). The Mass Effect coat of paint they tossed over the dialogue is just hilariously bad and awkward as all get out. I find myself taking the "Sarcastic" option most of the time; in part because I often don't care about the conflicts presented and it functions somewhat as a coin flip in that regard, and in part by accident. Remove the dialogue wheel, and the writing, so far, is better than what I saw in Fallout 3. That said, I do feel much of the game-play improvements are solid. The gunplay feels better than it did in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, enemies will use cover and grenades intelligently and the animals typically have a trick up their sleeve. Molerats don't just charge at you like a bundle of free EXP waiting to contribute to your next level, instead preferring to burrow underground as a group and pop up surrounding you. Feral Ghouls are my favorite improvement though as they no longer have any issues with heights or waist high railings. Now they just barrel over obstructions by the waist or fall from whatever height they're at to get on your level (often at the same time!) then pick themselves up and charge. I like that scavenging is a think that actually makes sense for you to do, rather than an activity NPCs just participate in. I think the weapon modding system is neat, as it can allow you to modify just about any weapon you find to suit what playstyle you're going for, if imperfectly. Find a hunting rifle with a scope, long barrel and a stock, but you're a run and gun shoot from the hip type? Well there's nothing stopping you from cutting all that crap off and rechambering it from .308 cal bullets to .50! It makes me feel like the clever craftsman, rather than getting lucky and being awarded a much better variant of a gun by some clever NPC craftsman. All of that said, I do find the problems with the game overabundant. Super Bunnyhop's video hits the nail on the head: There is something SOLID here that can be really, REALLY fun, but wait for the patches/mods to come to fix and build on that. EDIT: I should note that my only progress so far has been doing the basic "Build Sanctuary" quests, helping a Brotherhood paladin fight robots, and getting to Diamond City. I am NOT very far into the game, so take my observations with that grain of salt in mind. Well, I was declined. Can't argue with their reasoning, really, so I'll just keep at the game. Focus on the bits I like, stick with the doggie and keep at it. No sense letting the money go to waste! DOUBLE EDIT: I forgot to mention that I really like what they did with power armor, turning it into the "One Man Tank" style armored cavalry role it was always presented as in the writing as opposed to just being the highest level armor. Also I found a magazine in my brief playthrough that let me paint flames on it and that was kinda cool. i am tim! fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Nov 13, 2015 |

Remove the dialogue wheel, and the writing, so far, is better than what I saw in Fallout 3. I'll have to give Super Bunnyhop's video a look-see, he rubbed me the wrong way with that really stupid E3 video of his. He came off as condescending and snobby, so I haven't bothered watching anything more of his. As for me, I think Fallout 4 takes the "everything and the kitchen sink" approach. They give you so much stuff to do but none of it really gels together all that well. The settlement stuff panders to the OCD in everyone but making everything you pick up useful to making stuff but the settlements themselves don't really add much or tie into the world in any meaningful way. Their world-building has improved and MrBTongue will be satisfied to have an answer to "what do they eat" but instead of that he'll be asking "why doesn't anyone loving clean?" Some woman uses a diner as a trade post but there are still 200 year old skeletons sitting in the booths. The weapon and armor customization is great too but for some reason it doesn't let you upgrade the outfits other than the Vault suit and you can't wear outer armor over some things either. Their writing hasn't improved, though. Instead of building connections with characters, they manipulate you with cheap shocking things. Like "oh, this person you know is dead. isn't that sad?" It manipulates the emotion you'd feel of losing a friend rather than exploring why you would feel sad about losing that video game friend in their fictional setting. It's a step forward for Bethesda but coming from The Witcher 3, which spoiled me with connecting me with the characters and the world they inhabit, it still has a ways to go. I at least applaud them for moving their craft forward, which is more than I can say for companies putting out yearly sequels.

JO's Digimon videos were some of my favorites she did back when she was still with Channel Awesome. It was nice to find someone talking about Digimon and appreciating it the way I did. I always found myself more attached to Digimon Tamers more than the Adventure shows. I liked the more grounded, realistic setting and the shift from fantasy to more hard sci-fi, and the sudden cosmic horror stuff later on blew my mind. There's still some nostalgia I have for Tai and the gang, but I find Tamers to be a much more interesting story that holds up better over the years. It might not be as good for kids though

When i get a report (which is usually from this thread about someones delicate sensibilities or from the giantbomb thread about someone posting anime) i read all of their posts and see what their deal is. If no one is going out of their way to gently caress up everyone else's fun then its probably a good thing for the forum instead of bad. except in the giantbomb thread where i want to remind them that anime is a) good and b) not against the rules.

December starts about 2 weeks from now, and that means Doug's Disneycember for this year. I've enjoyed the past Disneycembers (though I felt last year's Studio Ghibli ones were lacking) and looked forward to them each year, but learning all the stuff behind-the-scenes at Channel Awesome left a bad impression, and I'm not sure how to feel about the next month.

Sequeilitis was an interesting concept derailed by EgoRapter having the worst ideas about game design I think I've ever heard. His weird adoring love letter to the first level of Mega Man X and how it's this ingenious template for teaching players was insane (it literally boils down to ' It's an easy level that shows off game concepts.').Also the Zelda one is full of the dumbest nitpicks about Ocarina of Time ever.
