What are you playing right now?

[Katphood]

I never had played the original Fallout, I've known a lot of people to swear by it as a great attempt to bring tabletop RPG to video format. After reaching vault 15 and knowing that I have to have a rope to go down I just have this to say..**** everyone that praised this game, what kind of ****ing bull**** is this where i'm ****ing supposed to know that I had to have a ****ing rope. The more I play these old RPGs the more I"m ****ing glad for all the amenities that modern games have and **** everyone that criticizes them.

 

I was 14 when I found that rope, I also *spoiler* blew up the rad scorpion's cave entrance with a dynamite so I didn't have to fight them and waste any bullets or stimpacks. I must have been a genius, such a shame society never decided to make use of me. Their loss though, replaying BioShock 2 was every bit  as enjoyable as I remembered it to be. I'll finish up Minerva's Den DLC soon and then I'll start playing Transistor before heading for BioShock: Infinite...I need a change of pace every once in awhile.

Heh, I had the same problem with the rope. I also thought it was a very bad start to have to fight all those scorpions, never figured out the dynamite. Then I found the ray gun, but forgot to save, so I lost it. And then I got to Junktown I think, and kept getting murdered by the gangs. At that point I quit. Now that I've had more experience with that type of game, I want to try it again, if only I can find a time window (not any time soon).

You weren't supposed to know in advance.

There are ropes in Shady Sands if you can be bothered to back-track.

[Hurlshort]

Pick up some Rad-X while you are at it. Or is that another vault?

[HoonDing]

Vault 15 just has molerats

[SonicMage117]

I pre-ordered Hob so I'll be playing that in September along with Cuphead. Woot!!

Crusader Kings 2 and Tropico 5

Only one or two, there's plenty of pigrats though.

Did someone need a rope?

[Keyrock]

Fun fact: Back in my PnP gaming days, rope was consistently one of the very first things I purchased, assuming I didn't already have it as a starting item.  I pretty much always had 50' of rope with me.  It didn't matter what class I was playing (more often than not I was either a fighter or a cleric).

Which one is more important, a rope or a crowbar?

[SonicMage117]

I'd say a crowbar personally.

[Lexx]

You need exactly 3 ropes in Fallout 1, by the way.

In PnP games a rope wins by a mile, unless you have gp to burn on the wan of fly :-P

[melkathi]

Rope, never leave the adventuring Inn without it...

So you show up unprepared to explore and it's the developer's fault?

 

Agreed. 

 

It also ensures that the player visits Shady Sands...whether in desperation, or even if they avoided it (in character), in favor of heading straight to their given destination—with the hope of finding the chip and returning it promptly.

 

Fallout is the second best RPG that I have played; and the better game of the two.

Silk rope, we always carry at least 100 feet in our group.

Rope...  unless you're playing as Gordon Freeman

I think I'm done with 50% of The Witcher 3. As I suspected, getting all the question marks and stuff is boring. Doing quests with actual story is very good. I don't mind exploring and finding loot, but I am not a fan of the Ubisoft design of tasks and such. In some ways, the game is fantastic and in others, I vastly prefer the second game in the series.

 

Atmosphere and attention to detail is sublime. Graphics are great and I like the soundtrack. Can't complain about the writing or voice acting. There's a decent variety of enemies. I've gotten used to the combat, even if I don't love it. 

[Tale]

Still not quite feeling Prey, but I'm chugging through it. I'm cheating resources to give me lots of neuromods though, which works for me. This progression system gives me absolutely no clue as to what I can expect to be able to hit through normal play, so I'm trying to grab all the stuff that's interesting now.

 

I think my main problem is there has been absolutely no big hooks in the game so far. Nothing I've seen has amazed me. No great characters, no breathtaking vistas, no fun fights, even the interesting powers all seem like something I'd get very limited use out of. Maybe mindjacking will be useful, we'll see.

 

God Eater Resurrection is getting kind of stale too because the introduction of new monsters is slowing down considerably. But it's easy enough to get into that I keep going back to it over Prey most of the time.

[Hawke64]

Completed Pyre. I certainly recommend it, yet it is difficult to compose an adequate review now.

 

Also I sincerely admire developers' "Your ending is the true ending" position.

Now, after ten or so hours of game I can say that combat (or as they call it "crisis") in new Torment is a complete mess. Awkward, tiring, and crippled by badly designed UI, for me it's the worst part of the game. After the first fight I felt relieved that I died quickly and didn't have to end the fight, but wake up someplace other. 

 

Other than that the story is quite good, characters are decent, so is the writing. But I don't know if I will play it again anytime soon.

Does it suffer the same fate as the first?

No, "combat" in TToN actually managed to be worse than in PS:T.

Ouch.. if it's even more horrid than the first then I'm glad I skipped out.
