    Fallout 76

    Ok so what is capped? I know the SPECIAL stats are capped at 15 per, but you stop getting points for that at 50 right? How many card slots open per Special point? 1? And if you combine cards to make higher ranked cards, do the higher ranked ones take up more slots?

    Fallout 76

    I think the main thing going on here is Bethesda already has had a significant amount of critics. People who hate the technical state of their games. And older fallout fans who hate the new direction the character role playing has taken (IE been all but cut out). Now, they decide to release...

    Fallout 76

    It's purely technical not actual game design. The database used to track all items is severely limited. My suspicion is because it was used for the single player games which only had to track 1 player and a world 25% of the size. I also am starting to think this is why there are no NPCs as...

    Fallout 76

    I agree with this, and I know it seems like I've been piling on, so I apologize if it comes across this way. However, unlike many of the detractors, Fallout 4 is legit one of my favorite games of this gen. Yes, I know it's janky and flawed, but there was just something about it that totally...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    They come into play in the third region. Just follow the main quests with the Oracle in Pikalos (or something like that). Once you finish that main quest line, it will open it up and then it's a matter of tracking them down. While legendaries are nice, this game is very much like most loot...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I had a situation where I was storming a castle fort. Usually I try to be sneaky and start by going in and trapping the alarm fire, and then go back and start on the outside and assassinate guys until I'm caught and then I just face tank the rest of the way ( I hate stealth). Well in this...

    Fallout 76

    It seems like every time they need to patch it they basically have you download the entire game and reinstall it. Wasn't this also happening during Beta as well?

    Fallout 76

    Right I just know jack and shit about Rust/Battlecry or any other survival game as they really aren't my bag, so I didn't really want to reference it. But it seems to me they were trying for something closer to those than a PVE loot grind game, and I feel they should have stuck to their guns on...

    Fallout 76

    Well I also think that was not part of the plan either in their original vision of this,. I don't think this was really intended to be an MMO-ish loot grind/farm at all. The bolded is absolutely what I think the original hook was meant to be until people really freaked out about the PVP part...

    Fallout 76

    I watched this one and the next video lined up was this: When the Beta went live and I started getting impressions from streamers and youtube people playing it, I got this gut feeling that they pulled a Destiny and scrapped what they had going due to the negative feedback from the reveal in...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    Yeah I got this game last weekend. I loved Origins but it felt kind of short of greatness in a bunch of areas so I really was on the fence with this. After not being able to get into RDR, I got this instead, and most of the things that kind of nagged at me with Origins are improved for sure in...

    Fallout 76

    I agree with the first part to an extent, but then they should have actually made this fallout 4.5. Meaning they should have basically kept everything the same and just added the ability to coop in a much bigger world. The addition of trying to be a Rust like game and with PVP with no other...

    Fallout 76

    I'm personally not a "true" fallout fan as I absolutely hate wading through dialogue trees. And i know that was a big part of the original games' charm. However, I loved the gameplay loop of Fallout 4 and it's one of my favorite games. And this does look to largely be much of the same, so...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    See that's the thing on bounties. I've been watching my favorite streamer's let's play and he is legit serial killer, so he tends to have the entire US Marshalls called on him. Once the dust settles it's 300 bucks. It makes sense because he just murdered 30 policemen, but yeah shooting your way...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    It's the adherence to realism. There is a razor fine line to walk when a game is being designed in such a way. Most of the things are a chore because they are really trying to immerse you in the experience of being an outlaw in 1899. I had the same feeling with Breath of the Wild. They tried...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    And this is what sucks. I totally wish I had bought that instead. I guess I'm more of a theme park guy versus a Sim guy. I just like to be "part" of major gaming events and this seemed to be like one.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Man someone already stated this but the down time in this game is just killing me. You get bursts of action for a few minutes followed by 20 minutes of a horse walking simulator. I usually love open world games and I love being able to just set off on my own and defeat areas as I get from...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I did try that, but I'm not sure I did it right, because I wasn't going that fast. I usually just hold X as that is plenty fast enough. Also my stamina sucks butt as I don't run all that often though. I really need to just take my guy and wander around some.

    The Walking Dead

    I agree with the Fear assesment. They should have just ended the series at the end of 3 and did Morgan's spin off as a completely different show. What cast from the original Fear that's left isn't even really playing a major roll at all and it was kind of pointless to slog through a half...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I'm not kind of glad I haven't at this point. Another question on hunting, because the more I think about it, the more I may be doing it completely wrong: is there any advantage to grabbing the entire carcass of an animal or is it enough to just skin it and loot it?

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    That's what I'm trying to figure out. I actually have not played a GTA since III (or San Andreas I think). I have it set to Wide now but I just don't get into enough gun fights to really properly test. The actual button layout part of them is totally fine, it's the nuance and timing I'm...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Oh shit... see I'm so used to "charisma" checks never working I didn't even bother. But holy fuck, I coudn't catch up with the guy to even get a lasso around him let alone threaten his ass. I didn't even know you could pick up weapons to be honest. The only one I came across was a shitty...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Got this game on Friday because I couldn't resist the hype. Overall I think it's really good. I personally am not a fan of strict adherence to realism so there are points of this game that kind of drive me batty. But it's not horrible. Mostly item management (especially on hunting) and the...

    The Walking Dead

    I actually think this will. Their biggest challenge is luring people back into it. Personally I have really enjoyed the 5 episodes of this season far more than anything they shit out from 6-8 combined, and is slightly better than 5 or at the very least on par with it. Yeah it still has the...

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    American Chopper was one of those dumb reality shows that followed a business/family. This one were these guys that built over priced motorcycles and they'd spend more time getting in fights and arguments than actually building the bikes. I forget what channel it was on but it was really...

    Big Brother

    I actually don't think this one was totally bitter Jury. Fact of the matter is, he fucked up by spreading his promises way too thin with way too many people in the Jury. It's ok to make final 2's with half the house early on as many of them will not be in the Jury comparing notes, but that...

    Big Brother

    This has been the best season in over five years. There were some serious shit seasons since 2013 (15 and the shit show that was season 19 were the two worst offenders). Kaycee was a good winner to me, because she wasn't completely worthless. Her comp wins were no joke, and the reasoning...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    Not trying to turn this into the politics thread but he was a typical Neocon. Say one thing about limited government and how they should never be involved in private industry, yet totally act in the opposite way. He thought that the state of Rhode Island would stick through with their stupid...

    38 studios Auction Nov 14th and 15th.

    According to this 900 grand. 38 Studios titles sold to video game publisher What a shit show. Hindsight being 20/20, Rhode Island would have been better served to see this thing through, they would have recouped far more than 900k if they had, and that's pretty sad. My hope is, KoA looked...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This is why I love my set up. WE have the textbook definition of open concept. We just have one huge ass room with what was our kitchen, that is now the den, the dining room, and the living room all in one space (knocked down all the walls when we moved the kitchen to the garage for my wife's...

    JRPGs

    I just started DQ 11 tonight and wow the nostalgia feels. Although I love the old school music, I think it would have been cute had they done the graphics using the Minecraft style graphics from builders. It is kind of jarring having the modern graphics with old school audio.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    This ought to be right up ENB's alley since he has never really got into the RPG/stat side of things. As long as the lore is solid (which I am sure it will be). I am looking forward to his let's play videos.

    The Walking Dead

    I really wish they'd just kill off the entire lot of the original cast, and have the building story line in Fear where Morgan wants to go back and take the FWD people. Right now FWD really sucks because of the massive time jump, but the characters are still solid. At least way more solid than...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I haven't either and no I'm not really expecting it. I was just watching that preview because I had an hour to kill, and fan or not, Cyberpunk is a big deal in the gaming world, and while watching it with 0 expectations, it struck me that it could possibly have more of what I want. I did like...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Not saying it wasn't open, because it was. I'm just not into playing the dialogue tree game is all, or trudging through long cinematics. I dunno I tried the Witcher 3 three times and got the first big boss dead (The Griffin) and it just bored me. What I saw last night was better and what I...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I was not a fan of Witcher 3. Just wasn't my style as I really don't like narrative driven games (among other things). Watching this demo has me hyped, but I'm hoping it's more open ended. Meaning I liked the story of gangster dude wanting a robot and the chick going on a mission to get it...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    As far as that goes (Activision), I'm not that concerned. They are literally just printing the discs and cases and sending it all out for a cut. This isn't like the Bandai Namco deal with Dark Souls or Sony Japan's on Bloodborne, where they actually have some creative control. From is self...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    Hmmm From games had a certain level of charm for me that gave me the same vibe as when I first played EQ. Seeing all the tutorial pop ups and visual prompts was off putting for me. Also I'm one of those who loved the RPG side of those games, so I am not real excited to see that part completely...
