What are you playing now.

Sacrilegious comment incoming: Wasteland 2 is more fun than Pillars of Eternity.  It's drawn me in a lot more than PoE did.  But maybe I'm just more a fan of guns than swords and magic.

W2 got the combat-loot-upgrade-level up cycle right, that's what makes it so addictive. In POE you go a long time between rewards, and when you do get them they're underwhelming. And yes, fire arms are cooler than magic.

Played some Fallout 4. It arrived yesterday. It's...ok. It's not bad by any means, it just feels a little empty. I don't think this game will score more than 8/10, even from the casual gaming critics.

There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

Fallout 4:

 

 

I live in Iran/Tehran. PS4 games usually arrive sooner than expected here. I remember buying MGS V and The Witcher 3 days before release too. But yeah, the game immediately gives you a 8/10 impressions. The crafting system was kind of weird. The game doesn't explain certain stuff that well, it just throws you a tutorial in the form of a text and then it quickly disappears. But it ain't all that bad either, it has acceptable graphics and the shooting mechanics have been refined a lot compared to Fallout 3. The character creation is so so, it isn't bad but it certainly isn't great.

But yeah, the game immediately gives you a 8/10 impressions. And boy, at this point it has little to nothing related to the Fallout universe and the crafting system was kind of weird.

But it ain't all that bad either, it has acceptable graphics and the shooting mechanics have been refined a lot compared to Fallout 3.

How do you get physical copies there and how expensive?

I'm going to throw my moderators hat on and say if you have spoilers for Fallout 4, hide them with the spoiler tag. Until the game is released for the rest of us.

Stop watching Disney's Alladin.

 

how expensive?

It ranges from 40 bucks to 80 bucks. Buying games on/before release date is usually more expensive here.

More Wasteland 2.  I think I severed ties with one of the factions in California without having much choice to avoid it.  They were going to execute some boy and although I could enter into a dialogue with the leader of the faction, the only options were basically side with them and offer to kill the boy myself, or fight them.  There was no option to save the boy in a peaceful manner (that I got).

 

It's uncanny how much it's like Fallout.  I mean, duh, obviously.  But it's like they're literally the same game/series, not just "Fallout is a spiritual successor to the original Wasteland".

Man, I just can't believe it. Another Bethesda game with crap for performance on the Playstation. Fallout 4 runs really bad on the PS4. Just giving everyone a heads up. Play it on the PC if you have the option.

Still, I'd like to know ... is this Skyrim on PS3

Yes, it's exactly that. I've had one crash so far and the framerate is simply unacceptable at times. I also installed the 400 MB first day patch but that didn't help that much either. Buy it for PC or Xbox One if you can.

 

The game isn't really that hot though. Took me and hour to figure out that the house building system is simply tacked on. It might be worth a shot if you want an open-world game, but so far this game feels like a heavily moded Fallout 3.

At some point in Mordheim, you need a second Leader in your warband, to take over when your main is recovering from injuries or training new skills.

I once again send out my Sisters of Sigmar on a few runs with the ersatz-leadership.

First skirmish we were faced with cultists. The aim was to grab their idol and break their morale. I decided to play it all clever like and send the Augur (first battle since she lost that arm) to scout a route, circle around behind the enemy to grab the idol when their attention would be on the main body of my warband.

Half the warband marched in a straight line towards the enemy, while the other half followed the Augur. When her divine vision revealed cultists loitering on the other side of the row of buildings, her escort dashed through the abandoned houses to engage them and let the Augur sneak past. The Purifier called down Sigmar's wrath on the enemy archer... but Sigmar must have been busy playing video games or something - instead of burning the heretic, he smote my Purifier (95% chance to cast spell. Roll 99. Roll for Divine Wrath. Of course there is Divine Wrath. Roll for effect: Smite. 6666 Damage). The Sisters watched in shock as in a flash of white light the Purifier dropped to the ground. Then the mutants charged through the glare.

While the melee raged, the Augur continued her circling. She only needed to pass through those buildings. And they were all baricaded shut. Through the only exit out of the square she had ended up in, she could see the back of the Magister, using his vile magic to support his mutant followers. So she did what any Sister of Sigmar would do in that situation: she charged.

The Purifier made a Full Recovery.

 

Second fight the Sisters tried to ambush a Skaven warband. The rats spotted them and sought refuge within two old mansions. In doing so they got split up from their rat ogre though. The fight was swift and extremly brutal... for the skaven. The sister charged the mansions and took out the vermin, before the hulking beast could gather its wits and rejoin the rats. Seeing the day lost, the Eshin Sorcerer summoned warp lightning from its claws, to cover its retreat, caring not that it hit friends and foes alike.

Rat Ogre failed two or three stupidity tests in a row. The girls managed to even grab the enemy idol and return it. Then, the enemy sorcerer used an aoe spell that took out one of his, but did hardly any damage to mine, forced a rout test for the skaven which they failed. Possibly my luckiest run yet.

 

Third run was against another Sisters warband. Before I even had time to move, they had charged my matriarch and took her out in the first round. Then they first stunned the Sister next to her in the second round and took her out in the third.

Meanwhile, Sister Superior Galianna was standing right next to them, staring at a wall. She had suffered a skull fracture a while back and ever since been more often mentally absent. The rest of the warband arrived to assist. Suddenly Galianna turned around, noticed what was happening, saw her two sisters lying in the dirt, and she charged. She took out two enemy sisters, shouted encouragements at her own warband, and send them rushing forward. The next round she ran past them, took out the enemy that had been slowing them down and charged the next one. When that enemy went down, she chargd into the other two melees that were going on, taking out those opponents as well.

She spend 5 turns staring at a wall, only to then take out half the enemy warband. In those rounds she was out of  it, the warband suffered 2 Light Wounds, 1 Near Death Experience and 1 sister made a Full Recovery.

Yeah, there's been rumors about Fallout 4 dropping to low FPS on PS4 for a few days now. Sucks.

 

I wasn't in a hurry to get it as it was, but I wanted to be optimistic overall.
