Fallout 4

The changes they made to the game mechanics ripped a lot of the roleplaying out of the experience. I kept hoping to find a lot of what I loved about Fallout 3 and New Vegas in it, and never did.

It’s not even necessarily a bad game, but the aspects of the games that I found fun were either heavily reduced or removed completely, leaving behind an open world shooter with a bad story.


If somebody can point me in the direction of a $20 1TB NVME for my Steam Deck and a free transfer tool please hmu


Fallout 3 released two hardware generations ago at around 8GB. Fallout 4 released last gen and sits at around 25GB. One generation later, Starfield is launching at ~140GB - almost 6x the file size of the previous generation.

I can’t speak for everybody, but my PC storage didn’t jump to 6x capacity in that amount of time, and my download speeds didn’t get 6x faster. But I imagine that’s why it’s concerning to some people.

Even just going by console standards, we’re looking at only a jump of 2x capacity between the Xbox One and Xbox Series X - or exactly the same if you have a Series S. It takes up over 20% of the storage Series S in just one game - with a mandatory install, unspecified patch sizes, impending DLC, etc.

Obviously there’s a discussion to be had of WHY the games are increasing exponentially like that, but on the surface that’s likely where the bulk of the frustration comes from.


Their pic of somebody using it for graphic design is something I hadn’t even considered. I’ve seen other artists use JoyCons but these would connect to PC a lot more seamlessly.


I would love something the size of the RG405M but ever so slightly more powerful so that it can play Gamecube without issue. And maybe plastic instead of metal so it’s a bit lighter; I have a metal Anbernic device and it’s a beefy boi.


Also not to be a Deborah P. Downington but whenever I see URLs advertised where I’m not expecting them, my first instinct is “Eww, spam” and very much not “I should go to that URL because it might be a good reddit alternative”


I was thinking more like Silent Hill, except I can find any abandoned storefront and turn it into my base. And not just add crafting stuff, but full on furniture and decorations like Raft. Stardew Valley seems very built around the town and the farm IIRC and I want something that could be maybe more randomized like Don’t Starve, and then other people could drop in and play like Animal Crossing.


Don’t Starve but more Animal Crossing. Lot more casual vibes and cozy customization, but the creepy aspects leaning more into survival horror.


I like the sabotage but when this was announced I 100% assumed it was an attempt to boost engagement numbers as they approach their IPO, and looks like it’s working for that.


I edited all my comments to be the same message. I don’t know what the benefit would be of deleting vs editing them. Ultimately the goal is that they can’t benefit from content I’ve created, right? Is there any benefit in deleting?

EDIT:

Hit the comment button early by accident

Anyway it’s a turn-based dungeon crawler where your actions cost dice rolls. Multiple characters with very different gameplay mechanics, all in support of the core loop.

I highly recommend it. Probs put over 100 hours into this bad boi


As I write this, John Oliver’s Twitter is posting a bunch of pics of himself telling /r/pics to “have at it”
