Here's my experience in a nutshell. Haven't played the game in 3 days or so, fire up my PS4 and the game breaks right away. Why you so mean to mean Fallout 4

(skip to 2:00 if you don't want to watch the whole thing)

Looks like a proper slum Dark!

Personally I'm having a hard getting interested by this game... it is so broken on the PS4 that I think I might wait for a few patches before going further. I literally can't play the game for more than 3 or 4 minutes without it bugging on me, whether it's subtitles not playing properly or doors not opening until I reload the game, there's always a bug to break the immersion. The dialogue system is really broken and uninteresting too and the worst part is that you have to "activate" NPCs 2 or 3 times sometimes before you get the options. Some other times the game will just say "This NPC is busy" until I reload. Every time I'm playing it feels that the game "forgot" to change some variable somewhere and the actors got stuck in a wrong state. The story so far has been really bland and uninteresting, all the characters I've met so far don't feel like wastelanders at all, but rather just generic game NPCs that exist in that world for the sole reason to hand you out quests. Maybe my memory is failing me, but Fallout 3 at least tried to give characters some meaning and backstory. I have only played 4 or 5 hours so far, and I already used a power armor, I got a minigun, laser guns, a fat man, killed a deathclaw and super mutants. There's no sense of progression. Your character comes out of the Vault and doesn't seem very impressed that it's been 200 years and that his world was destroyed and is now infested with mutated beasts. Oh and you will also get a workshop and the crafting stuff right away... no build up at all. I came out of the vault and got access to a huge list of mods and stuff that I could build right away, if I wanted to grind for the ingredients.

I hate to come across as a hater, I'm really trying to like the game and I'll keep playing hoping I change my opinion later on... I remember I had the exact same problem with Fallout 3. But so far this has not been the killer Fallout game I was expecting after FO3 and Skyrim.

Beta weekend coming up this weekend, make sure to sign on the beta page if you haven't already

El Topo, now my favorite western movie:

Main story seems incredibly boring from that trailer, everything seems so serious and dramatic... Hopefully the actual game is more lighthearted and absurd like the older ones.

Anyways, my body is ready, whatever this game turns out to be I know I'll play it quite a lot

Have you tried ProBuilder? I always hear people talking about it:

Looks pretty interesting, will probably pick it up once they add oculus support

That's the beauty of it, use your imagination and try to figure out what's happening

Oh boy!

Playing through this game now, it's shaping up to be one of my favorite games ever... The environment storytelling is simply amazing.

Last Friday the man that introduced me to computers, video games and pretty much got me on the game development path passed away. Rest in peace dad.

My condolences to you and your family bro. I cannot even imagine how painful it must be.

I lost my grandfather last year, someone who was very influential in my life too, and it really helped to remember about all the great things he taught me and how I'm doing my best to keep "his light" alive. I'll definitely pass what I learned from him to my kids one day, so in this way he never died, only continued his journey somewhere else

Now go make awesome games and carry your father's torch into the future

Watched the first episode last night, really liked what I saw. Feels like a Pablo Escobar version of Elite Squad (same director and same main actor). Really cool to see Netflix financing high quality stuff like this

This week I moved back to the team I originally started at Blizzard, Overwatch

Super stoked to be a part of this awesome project and to be able to work with my mapcore buddies again (Hpinto, Peris and PhilipK).

This site is a good resource to check out some clever techniques too

PS4 purchased, MGSV pre-ordered, my body is ready :cool:

I rarely finish singleplayer games these days, only the ones I really care about or that are unique enough that they deserve my attention all the way to the end, be it story-wise or art-wise. The only games I play for pure pleasure are games that are more esports kind of games like Heroes of the Storm, CS:GO, SC2 or Civilization. Playing short sessions of these games frequently really pays off.

Usually, for long games at home I prefer to play JRPGs for several reasons, the most important being the fact that grinding doesn't require much brain power. Those days when I feel like playing a game but don't feel like thinking too much, I just grind a little

Maybe one day when I'm retired and have a lot of free time on my hands I'll go over my steam backlog... for now, games like The Witcher 3 I stay away like if they were the plague.

Nightcrawler.
Imagine the tension of the first minutes of Drive, and stretch it for a whole movie. That's basically what this is.

It was on my list, I put it quite some time ago, don't even know if I had seen a trailer or put it there because of Jake Gyllenhaal, so went in without any particular expectation. I'm really really satisfied. The quite realistic take on this makes me think only of another movie, in which Gyllenhaal stars: End Of Watch (which was insanely good as well).

I must confess that I really like this guy, I think he's managing to show how flexible he his movie after movie; here sporting as a clearly disturbed person, definitely autistic, but I'm sure there's more to him.

Both great movies, I second that:)

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is one of my favorite games ever so I might be the wrong person to ask this I'd be curious to hear from someone who played other FF games and didn't like FFXIII-2 what's the reason for that because for me the story and characters in that game were actually pretty good and deep. I'm finally playing Lightning Returns at the moment and even though it doesn't have high production values like previous entries it's still a damn good FF game, full of charm and uniqueness.

To be honest, every entry in the main franchise is very unique in their own way so everyone will always have a favorite... I can't name any other series that have such varied games like FF, maybe that's the reason it has such a huge fanbase.

That blue tint on everything looks really weird, hopefully you can turn it off. Other than that looks cool

Getting a PS4 soon to give this bad boy a try :cool:

Looks kinda cool, I'm intrigued
