Was fun while it lasted.

I haven't had this much fun since watching paint dry. If you love to sit and wait around with nothing exciting ever happening, then this game is for you. There are more features promised to be released that no one ever wanted nor asked for. One day, in a galaxy far, far away, the game may even become stable. After five years of early access, there is a promised beta release coming....as soon as the xbox version is released first. If the game were ever to become good, (which that boat has sailed long ago), it would surely be spoiled by the toxic fanboys that plague the community. Save your money and get something else.

It does remind you of Dark Souls, or a Samurai Souls if you will. However, it's also very different and of its own.

You've got three stances: high, medium, low; with various types of weapons. Each weapon has their own combo & movesets which can be expounded upon by spending skill points into them that you've learned. You also have magic and ninja/samurai skills. Combat is fast and visceral. You can exploit weak points on enemies that you spot, while those same enemies can one or two shot you easily if you make a mistake.

I've read some reviews saying that they had some crashing or other issues. I've yet to experience any issues with this, but will update should this happen. So far, great game and really enjoying it.

A must watch if only to see "back boobs". 87 thumbs up for Zygote.

Theres many others such as "Cooking with Bill", and my personal favorite, "Firebase". They're all a good watch and worth supporting by getting the dlc installed. Hurry up and take my money Oats Studio! Well done good sir. Well done.

Anthony Kiedis's mustache is behind all of the secret cabals that are running the world. Spread the word before it's too late. I don't know how much time I have. The stache knows that I know so I'm now a target.

It's Pantera! What else can I say. Get it already.

I would agree in some areas with the "Angry Joe Fallout 4" review. He had stated that the graphics weren't too good on his ultra settings. While I don't have an end all machine, on high settings my graphics are decent, but a bit flat. I'd say they are similar to Skyrim and perhaps this is what he was eluding to as well. Thankfully there are some tools out there to help the textures and some additional tools like enboost. If you'd like more info on this, go to the community guides area on find "Fallout 4 Quick perfomance guide" which touches on this subject.

The load screens are a bit too long at times and at times the construction portions of the gameplay feels a bit thrown in at the last minute. The crafting is again fun and useful as it was in previous Fallout games, but there is more of it.

Fallout 3 and New Vegas both had really good dlcs and patches that helped to integrate more content as well as making released content a bit more seemless. However, my opinion isn't based upon content that may or may not come out in the future.

You may have heard that the RPG elements are a bit watered down while the combat elements are better. It's true that the combat is better and is actually the best I've ever seen from a Fallout series game. That's with or without VATS as well as melee and/or shooting. The voice acting and choice system are a tad lacking in regard to some details. For instance, sometimes you get the same result/dialog no matter what your response/choice is, but at other times it is different.

As to immersion being watered down, I did not find this to be very apparant. I found the same notes, dialog, camp fires, caves, side quests, and other qualities that had enhanced immersion as we've found from previous Fallout and other Bethesda titles. So I didn't find the RPG elements to be lacking unless we're talking about lips not syncing up all the time or sometimes choices that don't seem to change the end result. Yes, a bit more immersive content would be nice, but will likely come with time from the community as well as dlc's and patches.

I didn't compare Fallout 4 to other newly released RPG titles, as I don't find that to be a fair comparison. The engine, content, and creators are completely different. I find it's a better to compare it to other Fallout titles and Bethesda games. I've yet to see Bethesda really put out a crap game. I said Bethesda, not Zenimax ;P. Anyway, I believe the majority of Fallout fans as well as RPG fans will enjoy this game. If you liked this review, feel free to name your first ten kids after me. Have fun.

When I bite into a Black Ops III game, I get the sensation of being in a frozen forest.

The campaign is ok, but not the best storyline I've seen from the COD franchise. However, that's probably not the main reason you want the game. The real meat of the game is the multiplayer and always has been. (This review is based on the pc experience as 360 and PS have their own plethora of issues as well.)

There are many issues with this game, however, most of them appear to be client side or PEBKAC errors. Many users are reporting these alpha character errors that don't tell them anything for resolving the error. If you're getting this, make sure your firewall is down. Still getting it, then check your antivirus and open ports for gaming. Hopefully this tidbit of info will save you lots of time searching for an answer and give you more time playing.

Only marriage can be more abusive than the end boss fights. Best marriage simulator money can buy.

10/10

Possibly the greatest strategy game ever...at least on PC. I still love Chess myself. In some ways, it's similar to chess that you can think ahead to gain the upper hand on the enemy, be it pc or another player. The computer A.I. is pretty darn good at playing against if you don't find others to play against.
