I really love the look of the hell maps this time around, but I'm not feeling the particular clean look this scene is going for. This is all very hard to judge from a screenshot of course, but for this particular IP, I prefer the grittier look of what we saw before or from doom 3.

Just a quick reminder, if you want to discuss specifics of the plot, please dont forget and use the spoiler tags.
Anyway, we ended up watching it tonight, imax 3D was definitely a great choice, 3D is flawless and so is the sound. Personally, I fucking loved the movie, i think i mentioned before but I'm not a huge Star Wars fan but this one might just convert me, it made me want to rewatch the other ones, I might pick up the bluray compilation.
I definitely was not expecting to enjoy the movie nearly as much as I did, it hits all the right marks in terms of pacing, storytelling and i appreciated the fan service bits a lot. I remember the last 3 star wars movies that came out in the 90s to be very slow paced and all over the place in terms of how they developed the characters and the lore, none of that nonesense on this one, it's more akin to the formula of the originals and I think that's the main reason it's getting so well reviewed too.
I walked out of the movies with a grin on my face, a solid 5/7.
Theatrical teaser showing during the trailers before Star Wars! 
Quote from FMPONEOnly downside to this is PS exclusivity, but I don't care because I'm happy for Kojimaaaaa
Well, sure, but the money needs to come from somewhere, and in this case it seems Sony will be dumping quite a few pesos into whatever this game will be, so there's a minus to it but the pluses totally outerheight whatever strings that come attached imo.
Have fun tonight guys, I'll wait a week or two to watch it, I'm not such a Star Wars fan to warrant standing in line for 2 hours or get a shitty sit.

Fuck that, always disliked isometric games.
Yeah... I really dig this game.
Foda-se, awesome stuff man! Loving the architectural shapes, very spot on!
Sooooo it seems The Witcher 3 won GOTY 2015 at the Video Game Awards! Congrats to the whole team, definitely well deserved.
Quote from SpronyThe simple truth is that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt raised the bar for open world RPG's in every conceivable kind of way. While not a bad game, Fallout 4 doesn't even come close to The Witcher's achievements. It also illustrates the widespread corruption in regards to game journalism. Just look at Metacritic (although not the best site, but that's a different discussion). A 8,4 score from the critics and a 5,4 from users. What made me wonder most is the hypocrisy of reviews detailing the overall buginess of the game but not detracting points for it. I read some article that Bethesda RPG's would be ruined if they polished it more because it would limit the freedom and randomness of it all. But that's just bullshit. Fallout 4 deserves the same amount of criticism as Arkham Knight for the state they released it in. Anyway, this review sums it up rather well.
The game is on hold for me. I want some proper patches from Bethesda first and I'm waiting for mods to come that address the more serious issues. The dialog mod is already a big step forward.
I don't mean to defend FO4 or Bethesda, but falling into the trap of comparing it to Witcher3 is not very fair imo, they're both open world games but that's really where any similarities end, imo. You need to play games for what they are, and judge them for what they are, not compare them to other games that you enjoy, people that do that tend to end up disappointed because of unrealistic expectations. This applies to any kind of media, music, movies, games, books, etc.
And on my very brief hours with Witcher 3 I actually had a side quest bugging on me, and don't get me started on the buggy horse. I guess so is the nature of open world games man, not every game can have the level of polish GTA has.
Also, the article you're mentioning is probably this one, and i think it's a great read, he does have some really compelling arguments and an interesting perspective on this topic, feel free to disagree but I think the guy's onto something when he said:
(...) This also is exactly opposite of what makes Bethesda’s games magical. They’re sloppy, sprawling, surprising messes that show the sticky fingerprints of the people who made them. Polish says “no” a lot more than it says “yes,” and you can hear a lot of yes in Bethesda’s games.
Polish says you probably shouldn’t do a quest with a talking dog, because it’s going to look terrible with the lip sync system. Polish says you shouldn’t do a one-off Rube Goldberg trap using hundreds of physics objects in the game’s “creaky engine.” Polish says you probably shouldn’t put a “flying” spell that will kill the player 20 minutes into the game because it will playtest badly.
Again, last thing I want to be is apologetic for the fact that the game can feel extremly unpolished at times, but an argument can be made that both the games masterful aspects and it's problems can be two sides of the same coin.
ahah, YES! I just picked that same gun yesterday, it's a beast!
Yeah, I haven't really gave base building a honest shot yet, I'm way too busy leveling my character up and doing quests, but the little that I've seen of it, it's not as grindy as I initially thought it was going to be, there's just a bunch of little things that you need to learn and the game never really teaches them unfortunately.
Just like Stepp said, make sure you get the local leader perk before diving into base building, or just completely ignore it, you don't it need to finish the game. It feels like the mother base from MGSV, you don't need to build one to experience the core of the game.
This whole bugs situations is really weird for me, I'm 50 hours in and I've yet to find a show stopper bug, other than the sporadic NPC walking against a wall or or ragdolls going apeshit with seizures. I am tho, getting a really weird bug where every couple hours both my pip-boy and weapon disappears and I have to restart my savegame to see them again.
I'm having a blast with this game man, so fucking immersive and going out there and just exploring randomly can be more fun than doing the main quest alone. I just LOVE the freedom that I can experience with this game, I can do whatever the fuck I want and the game doesn't care.
Quote from FMPONEJumped into my very first game. I'd heard Pharah was fun and it was true.
Pretty much all of my concerns about this game being busy/noisy weren't well founded, however I will say when combat gets rolling you die very fast and as a beginner right now I'm a tad overwhelmed. I'm sure, however, I'll get the hang of it. It's a beauty and runs well. Can't wait to play more.
Right now, it's possible you're playing with very high skill players though, so the game might feel a bit too lethal for beginners. Let the matchmaker learn for a couple hours and it should stabilize.
