Looks great but the fullscreen mouse motion is pretty horrid.

We'll have to wait and see exactly how Bethesda have chosen to...alter the RPG mechanics. It might be too drastic to support the weight of New Vegas' systems, they'd have to re-imagine it a bit like Skywind has done with Morrowind. Hopefully I'm wrong and Bethesda will make the system more diverse and robust

I'm guessing all that Enclave tech is just re-purposed, I think Bethesda are smart enough to keep them (mostly) dead.

Yeah I'm hoping the cartoony look is just trailer sheen, it mostly looks to be pre-rendered game assets mixed in with actual footage. On the bright side they've gone with the New Vegas aesthetic...though I do hope for at least some vomit green areas. Two other things: -Why does the USS Constitution have rockets attached to it? Especially when the entire thing seems to now be a glorified decoration for a bank? -There's an eyebot. Why? Shouldn't these be dead with the Enclave? Hopefully we get a sense for this at E3 but atm I'm very cautious and skeptical that I'm gonna like what I'll see. The USS Constitution having rocket engines on it screams Todd Howard going "becuz awesome lolz." I meant the door frame and structure resembles the design the Brotherhood used, making me wonder if the Brotherhood is (was) there since the emblem on the door isn't theirs. Hey, as an Englander I didn't even know the the ship with rockets is based on an actual thing...I'm greatly relieved

It occurs to me that the trailer looks like Borderlands and GTA V had a baby.

$3.99

Yeah...uh oh lol.

Looks like I was wrong about not seeing anything of the actual game. *edit* In with my first criticism...those LOD mountains

I pitched in $20 as Grimrock with a decent plot appeals to me. I can't justify a higher tier as I'm not really feeling the revolutionary fervour any more, kinda done my bit, also no more room in my cupboard for huge boxes

It's physically impossible for every game to be the best experience ever. In fact, only 1 game could ever have the best experience ever. I disagree. Primarily because time is a progressive vector construct on which our personal experiences occur in a chronological order, all our experiences do not occur on a memory singularity but in a memory stream. At various points on that stream we may judge 'bests' differently as our experiences accumulate. Think of all the games that make up the overall gamespace, those that we have not played may be regarded as Schrodinger's Games (as with F4) which exist in a state of quality flux; they may or may not be better than previous games and while they may or may not have reputations associated with them it is only by opening the box and playing them can you make the judgement of which is best yourself. As such, until played they do not exist in the subjective opinionspace of what is one's personal 'best' rated and indeed it would be perfectly possible- if distinctly edge case scenario- to have every single game in existence be the 'best' at a certain point if you played them, sequentially, in ascending order of quality. ie, at any given point the last game you played would be best and stay so up until you played the next. Or alternatively, you might have multiple bouts of amnesia... In other words while there may be only one best game ever, at a given time and for a given person, that assignation is fluid and dynamic and over a set time course there may well be multiple best games of all time at given, discrete, instances on that time course. I totally need to do mushrooms again.

They were nuclear fuel cells... but I can live with that, I can live with pocket lasers and orbital bombers and Liberty Robots. It goes with the setting, it's sci fi gone wild and free of restrictions. But a postapoc junkie still needs food though that part we can agree on. They did add the obligatory farm outside each skyrim hold, but learned their lesson? meh, not really. Perhaps they will in F4 though, would certainly improve the game drastically... I doubt the characters will be more interesting though. Eh, it depends what sort of things annoy you. It bugged me in Fallout 3 but Skyrim did a decent job covering the 'what do people eat?' issue. Enough for me to stop scratching at that mental itch anyway. There were multiple farms in each hold, people mention the farms, farmers come into town, talk about farming...good enough for me

here's a question about fallout 3 What do the people on the capital wasteland eat? in fallout 1, 2 and NV you see farms with crops and brahmin in every town you visit... in 3 there is a single brahmin pen in the entire game as far as i remember. also, how can cars that were destroyed by nukes over 200 years ago, still have gas in their tanks? im too tired to keep making a list (plants, animals, mutant and so on) but i think i make my point non sensical world building at it's finest indeed This point was raised way back when and it actually diminished my enjoyment of Fallout 3...for the benefit of my soul no doubt. Since then I'd say Bethesda have learnt their world building lessons, Skyrim had tons of internal consistency.

Steam now offers game refunds "for any reason" within 14 days

My pants are suitably moist but it's gonna be aaaages until we see anything of the actual game

Looks like I should check that one out, cheers!

Yeah they'd freaking leap on the chance, the Ferg has said it quite a few times. He also said he'd love to work on TES, which would blow my mind really

I abandoned my Wasteland 2 game when PoE came out so I'm gonna wait for the update till I pick it up again. It's exceedingly cool of them to keep adding new content, I really hope Obsidian follow their lead with PoE.

These tutorial sections would be the worst thing about the game so far for me.

I'll spread a bit more necro sauce on this thread. Yeah this game rocks, ignoring a few interface issues I've been having a blast, the humour is excellent and the mechanics are sound.

Things I have done in South Park today... Get anally probed by aliens Watch a gnome get crushed by my dad's giant nutsack Receive and perform an abortion Get killed by a giant Nazi Zombie Fetus

Playing South Park, must unfriend Al Gore...

That final battle has a crazy difficulty spike. I'm all for the final battle in a game being the most difficult one, but maybe that jump in difficulty is a bit much. I mean, that battle was exponentially harder than any other battle I had faced in the game; granted I never did reach the bottom of the Paths of Od Nua and face whatever was there. Yeah I gave up on Od Nua too, next time round I guess. That battle was basically impossible with the abilities I had, seems a bit odd that gaining one level and one spell should make it so much easier.
