Summed up: Good writing prioritizes story first and seamlessly weaves a moral or message into the story if needed Bad writing prioritizes a moral or message first and sloppily constructs a story around that Supergirl on CW was a prime example of the 2nd point during its later seasons - the...

More normies played FO3 and FO4 than FONV in the scheme of things

Rallos Zek was fine because it was a single server that offered PVP to people who wanted to engage with that type of content. PVP specific servers are a great idea The problem isn't that, it is some devs trying to make mandatory PVP with no opt-out their entire game

They're good in close quarters PVP, but they suck for most PVE situations vs. a regular anvil

PVP focused MMOs are basically the devs hoping players will make content. That's it. Just look at Dune. Sort of a MMO-lite, but they hoped players would PVP a bunch and it would take pressure off the devs to produce more PVE content

That car video has to be bait

MMOs aren't dead. Plenty coming out of China/Korea still and there are a lot of MMO-lite/hybrid type games like Where Winds Meet This always boils down to the eternal "what is a MMO?" question and you have people say only games like Everquest or WoW are MMOs, yet if you're objective, the...

I mean even Interplay fudged with the canon even back in Fallout 2. Ultimately they are games and games more often than not are going to "retcon" or tweak lore in order to fit the game mechanics and experience. Like in Fallout 1 fusion cores lasted more or less forever (in game I think they...

The games have had different strains of FEV that use different mechanisms of delivery. One thing they forget is the "dunk vats" are a primitive means of applying concentrated FEV to subjects that was primarily done post war by non-sophisticated factions. Pre-war and vault wise, FEV...

One issue is they're trying to compete with MMOs that have been out for decades, which is impossible from a scope of content perspective. You can't squeeze 10+ years of content into a game without putting in over 10+ years of effort and/or without a massive budget and development team...

I'm honestly surprised this didn't happen sooner. His game vision always was going to be DOA in the western market after a month or so

Wasn't that trialed during the Afghan war? Pretty sure I recall reading about that over a decade ago, they had planned to use it to help treat severe wounds in the field to stem bleeding until they could evac them for additional medical care

Interesting video - I wasn't aware of crop mimicry/accidental domestication of things like rye and oats

Huh? You're supposed to address the person you're talking to or look at them when using a translator.

Clarification for that post: The canon ending thing wasn't decided by the show runners, Bethesda/Todd made that requirement. The last Fallout game with a canon ending was Fallout 3

Best way to think of ghouls is as radiation based undead

Makes me recall a news story from many years back. New Hampshire was planning on implementing a helmet law for motorcycles, so hundreds of riders did a low speed protest parade on their bikes. One of the guys tipped over and cracked his head and died - was 100% survivable if he had a helmet on

New chapter 3 patch/update comes out on Feb 3rd. One nice thing is they are getting rid of taxes on bases, which honestly is good because you got double taxed in a way between fuel costs and paying money. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1172710/view/541129246577262618?l=english

In terms of that after credit scene, the "Big 51" was just painted over the word "Canada". Same with the "Little America" being painted over the Canadian billboard sign. I suspect one reason they haven't gone into that bit of lore about the states is because the show has already referred to...

I know they can drop rocketeer and bastion parts very rarely

If it is actually 2 inches of solid ice, you're not getting that cleared easily. Ice chipper would take forever - better off getting some ice melt product to thin it down, then it's easier to get rid of with a chipper Either than or toss down a shitload of sand to give it some traction, but...

On a side note, the position of this intact securitron is interesting...

Remember the crashed Arc Couriers (the UFO looking things) can drop arc enemy specific parts, including things like surveyor vaults.

My understanding is Crimson Desert is a non-MMO version of Black Desert, unless something changed

One thing that was dumb about The Burn is I think the Romulans don't even use dilthium - they used microscopic black holes to power their warp drives

High TTK makes sense since you don't have unlimited respawns, but ya it feels like they tried to design this game as an esport/ranked sweaty experience 1st and casuals were an afterthought. A free game like this that doesn't support the casual market is going to die out pretty fast.

Given the films/shows he has been staring in, I’m thinking it is divine punishment lol

Haven’t played it yet, but in watching streams seems like a mashup of counter strike, apex legends, overwatch, and paladins

I remember a WW2 RTS game from the late 90s/early 2000s that used simultaneous outcomes of turn based combat. Basically both sides took their turns (other side has no idea what you're doing on your turn), locked in their selection, then the turns for both sides played out in real time. It let...

I hate that. I toss seeker at a rocketeer, only to watch the explosive do a 180 and blow up some tick that was chilling out under a car

Hullcrack is pretty cheap to make. A single run through Stella Montis will probably net you enough to make a couple hullcrackers The ammo on the other hand is a fucking pain the ass to craft because it takes arc motion cores

No, family values meant something different back then. They meant a return to old stuff like The Waltons or Leave it to Beaver. They considered stuff like Married with Children or The Simpsons or In Living Color to be bad influences.

Cool trailer, but first thing that immediately hit me is how old Peter Cullen sounds now Nice to see Thragg finally showing up.

You can always tell who the kids are, because they're completely oblivious to the "politically correct" movement of the late 80s/early 90s and the cultural backlash at the time towards being anti-politically correct. People also forget that the general population also rejected the "family...

My picks City of Heroes Fallout 1+2 The old Sierra games like Space Quest DayZ Epoch mod

Bare minimum: get rid of that “5 mil value for 5 skill points” shit and address blueprint concerns

Yes - if you knock the armor plates off the legs, the armor plates are what is lootable.
