Yes as someone who didn’t like it first time, it’s actually very well made. Looks amazing

TLJ was the one thing that made me realize that I was ready for something new with Star Wars other than whatever it is that a lot of fans wanted with all of those dumb theories before it was released.

I've been getting the urge to rewatch it again.

Fallout 4 is the video game equivalent of dry white toast

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Which means that all it really needs is a slice of ham, some pineapple, and a slice of cheese, and then you have something amazing.

I got 4!!! (four) games for Christmas this year, up from the usual 3: Ghost of Tsushima, Star Wars: Squadrons, Trials of Mana, and wild card Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Obvs I'm gonna play ghost first, but with Tomb Raider (paging exquisite tea to the thread) is it worth playing the earlier titles in the series or am I good to go just jumping into Shadow??????

If you're going to play Shadow and don't necessarily want to play the others, then I recommend starting with it. A lot of the criticisms of the game center around how it's not doing anything new or improving on the formula the early games established in any way, so you'd get the best initial experience if you go into it fresh. If you ever feel like checking out the rest, they are on sale fairly often for even cheaper than Shadow.

All the recent Tomb Raider games are essentially the same so you're missing no deep lore here.

Yeah Shadow is just more of the same and has virtually no story links to the previous two. It's also a lot better than Rise at least.

Never because the producer or director or whoever thinks Lara dual-wielding guns is beneath him.

Fallout 4s main story is rear end but I still think it’s a really fun open world to explore with a lot of cool poo poo to do. Every Bethesda game has a crap main story though so I will never get why it’s such a punching bag.

There are some other things that make it a relatively weak game, such as the heavy reliance on radiant quests and the scarcity of good-looking established in-game towns due to the game expecting you to spend a lot of time building your own. A lot of it is probably just people expecting more than they got, probably because New Vegas (which wasn't made Bethesda) was so much better than Fallout 3.

New Vegas was a much better RPG, as in the choice it gives the player,but it’s not like the map or gameplay were much of a leap forward and it was notably jankier than FO3. If nothing else I thought 4 had the coolest map of the bunch, which is tbh a lot of why I even play those games.

That's fair enough, I'm not judging, just explaining why I can see the disppointment with it. For all of Nev Vegas' technical flaws and jank, Fallout 4 does feel like the Oblivion to New Vegas' Morrowind by comparison sometimes.

76 has a pretty good map, but it's wasted on an online game. (it's not irredeemably awful, but i'd much prefer it in SP)

Does that game have actual NPCs yet, or do they still expect all of it to be literally "make your own fun?"

they added npcs, but it's one of those games that makes me nauseous (bad framerate and "ghosty" visuals), so i wasn't about to dedicate another n-ty hours to find out whether it was now worth the headaches

That's just kind of sad. The team who developed Fallout 76 has to be feeling just awful about the whole thing. I can't imagine that this is a game they ever wanted to make.
