Fallout 4 is a thoroughly enjoyable game.

It's also best played in third person.

Chrono trigger and final fantasy arent rpgs, they are turn based adventure games.

If you actually played CRPGs youd know the difference between the two eras but that would require a modicum of effort that you've foregone because you can't play anything older than 2 decades if it isn't a console game.

I know nothing about this but lol at this post

You are an inhuman monster. Aside from Halo 1 I've never enjoyed regenerating health. Turtling is worse than having to figure out a room of enemies like a puzzle, even if it means dying 200 times.

----------

TRPG stories universally suck, even the original Final Fantasy tactics. Well, the first Front Mission was enjoyable in a "Metal Gear" kind-of way. Ogre Battle/Ogre Battle 64 are infinitely better than Tatics Ogre.

Halo 1 doesn't have regenerating health

Um, excuse me, sir; Halo 1 had regenerating shields. It did not, in fact, have regenerating health. This is an important distinction and if you're going to participate in serious adult discussions you would do well to get it right.

my point exactly

They call shields health and health something else...soul, testicular fortitude, whatever, somehow this changes the nature of the mechanic.

Is this a "my immersion!" thing?

Nah, it had both shields and health. Halo 2 ditched the health in favor of stronger shields + cod-style regenerating health

Also energy weapons did more damage to shields and ballistic did more when shields were down

like ive had more fun playing that game now than i did when it was new

I had bc2 and it was really cool

Then, ea made me enter my CD key to add it to origin. It didn't get added to origin, and when I tried to enter it again origin said the CD key was already used

tbf EA has been a tiny bit better about their DRM after the Sims 4 fiasco. I think a few years ago they made a public statement saying they're aware of the negativity surrounding their company and wanted to change things.

Ubisoft, afaik, has only gotten worse.

IDK when sims 4 came out, but I got bc2 before origin existed and I think it was pretty much brand new when I had to transfer it over.

The above poster was right that I just didn't want to deal with it at the time. I actually had just gotten BF3 and figured I might as well reinstall bc2 while I was at it, but they would not let me install it alone without tying it to origin.

I haven't gotten anything from origin / ea since then

remember how dragon age's first game was a mechanically then-modern reimagining of Baldur's Gate style infinity engine games from the former kings of the CRPG, and for the sequel they rushed out a really lovely sequel that was just a Z budget Mass Effect action rpg. Whose main legacy was to be a touchstone for people who shouldn't even be allowed to play games, mostly because they jerked off to Hawke and Morrigan porn at some formative point in their stunted lives.

I have never played the witcher and because of its fans, I am probably never going to. Whenever people tell me a game is "deep" or "dark" I generally check out. And I have a good friend who loves the witcher and sincerely says "well, you won't get it if you don't read the books."

He is 33. How the gently caress can you find sword and sorcery poo poo deep at that age? That's like when you go to imdb and realize that the popularity of movies is based on what kids vote for. So good movies take a backseat to Iron Man.

gently caress the witcher and gently caress the people who play it.

You just have to get used to it. Use the mouse like joystick setting with trackball, turn the friction to low with vertical friction increased manually. Low sensitivity gyro aiming when the left trigger is pulled. Bing bong bing

I remember preordering Brink and thinking it would be the best new game ever, on a similar note. L

I got a PS3 and three games on the same day PSN got hacked and went down for over a week. I was so pissed that I couldn't play anything online that I traded them back in and got loving BRINK for my PC
