evo 2015 has started. should be a really good show for sf4 with all the international players vying for that capcom cup cash. tekken 7 will be interesting if anyone from the west breaks top 8 since they just landed some arcades here in like the last two weeks meanwhile the games been out in asia since march. basically the highest stakes tekken tournament ever since they're starting their own namco cup. will be interesting to see the koreans vs the japanese. will probably watch marvel finals for shits and giggles

Fawkes was awesome, his voice actor reminded me of the fat orange guy from Grim Fandango. It gave me the warm fuzzies.

It currently sounds like Genyo Takeda and Shigeru Miyamoto are running Nintendo in tandem as "Representative Directors"

So I started Rouge Legacy last night, has had that lying on the HD for months without ever touching it, then I ended up playing it for like 5 hours last night - this game is really fun, quite surprised actually, didn't expect it to be anything special.

New Fallout 4 gameplay video... well, mostly new.

Did you know you can play as John Wick?

 

 

Who's John Wick? Looked more like Keanu Reeves to me

Did you like Fallout 3? If yes, then I think you'll like this one as well.

By the way, I really like the music in that gameplay video.

well it was decent i guess, but a huge let down. i love bethesda and their ES series. and yes i know that the studio spended countless of hours to develop comeback for the fallout, but in the end the game was just ok. like it was made by some cheap game studio. they could have created something really great, the game only touched the surface of bethesda potential. lol like i know something about making games.

are you talking about Fallout 3? because I don't agree that it was "just ok" at all.

John Wick is the main character in a new movie by the same name, he's played by Keanu

Yes, music is really great. The last like 50 seconds of the video is pretty amazing.

Also, cinematics in dialogue scenes looks really improved. The awful facial animations was probably the worst thing about Fallout 3, so it's nice it won't be issue this time around.

We're not talking L.A. Noire levels of facial animations of course, but I think it looks decent.

How much did you play of it? - Honestly I find hard to imagine you wouldn't find any sort of enjoyment out of it if giving it a proper chance. The start of the game is a bit slow and boring, but once you leave the vault, it really opens up and is amazing on every level, just the sheer amount of exploration in that game.

And just that whole moment when you leave the vault, that's one of those gaming moment that's pretty spectacular and unforgettable and has kind of stuck with me.

that alone explains your view? fallout 1 and 2 are two of my all time favourites (well, 2 is anyway) and i was a total black isle fanboy back in the day, but i still loved fallout 3 and new vegas.

also, why would they release a fallout 4 gameplay video of you leaving the vault for the first time? spoiling one of the most fun / interesting moments in any fallout game. i know i don't have to watch it but damn, i just don't have that sorta self control.

How dated is Fallout 3 now? Never actually played it.

never got into fallout 3, it felts short, very "on rails", it never felt like an open world game. new vegas on the other hand is a completely different story, that was the proper sequel to fallout 2 to me.

Not too bad at all. The shooting is pretty lackluster if you don't use the VATS-thing but as an RPG it's still pretty excellent. The environments are a bit samey though.

Still fun as hell. if you haven't tried it, it's certainly worth a playthrough or three.

I dunno, I got lost for ages, exploring all kinds of ruins and stuff before realising I was meant to go somewhere in particular. There are rails for sure, but I don't think I was ever forced to abide by them. Then again, that speak volumes about myself than the game.

If I had a major crit, it was the level 20 cap, where I still had a huge amount of the map to explore but had hit the top, and playing any further without getting any more levels felt kinda pointless to me.

Yeah, more DLC gatekeepery. I don't really get annoyed by DLC stuff but that one felt kinda annoying. I mean, you're not even downloading anything extra, just the ability to go to level 30. Shady imo.

Just go left as soon as you leave the vault. Makes for a fun and interesting "off the rails" experience.
