Bethesda made this gigantic world and then filled it with nothing but loot and enemies. There isn't much room for roleplaying when the only way to interact with the world is to kill stuff. Just two types of quests. Kill stuff or get stuff and on the way to said stuff, kill stuff. I think there was only one instance of my 10+ charisma stat making a difference. After I saved Nick some low life mob boss stood me up and I convinced his right hand woman to shoot him. One enemy less. That's all it did. No interaction with her afterwards. Other parts that stung have already been recounted in this thread.

After New Vegas it seems even more obvious that Bethesda have no clue how to make a good RPG. Which is too bad because I still enjoy walking around their worlds and nobody does it like them. With every new game those worlds feel less and less alive or believable. Just stuff. It's not even worthy of being called a sandbox.

I hit those recommended specs, so that's a small relief. For under 400 I would pre-order immediately. For 600 I will wait for some hands-on comparisons between the released versions of the Vive and the Rift.

Edit: It's actually going to cost 750€ after taxes and shipping? Holy crap. 600€ doesn't sound so bad now. You could maybe convince me to pay 600€. I have them right here. 750€ is so close to an ok 4k TV that I would rather get that though.

Guys! Yoyoyoyoyo!

DAYS

EARLY

Day 1! And by "Day 1" I mean "Day -180"

Seems like you can only make choices regarding the big moments of Witcher 2 but if you import a save it will also pull over some smaller details. On my imported game I immediately recognized that Geralt is sporting that stupid tattoo he got on a drunk bender in the previous game. That's obviously missing if you start from scratch.

I think it totally fits the state the character is in. At the start of the film he's almost feral. He says it himself, he only cares about survival. The experiences he makes throughout the film help him gain back some of his humanity. Like a second origin story for the character. If they really make a sequel they might focus more on Max.

I would consider myself a fan of the MCU having seen all the movies except for Thor 2. AOU might be my least favorite. I guess the action is "fun" and easy to follow but all the quieter scenes were hokey and, even worse, completely unearned, something the other Marvel movies avoided. Or maybe they were always like this and binge watching Daredevil just a few weeks ago upped my expectations for what this comic stuff could be.

The forced romance plot between Widow and Hulk was the absolute worst and felt like it was just in there because someone had to cross off some things on a checklist. Similarly, they teased Hawkeye's death throughout the whole movie to set up a sad scene/revenge scene only to, at the last second, give it to someone I didn't care about. Probably better this way.

Ultron never feels like a serious threat. He's just this goober with a bit too much power. Complete waste of James Spader.

I really wanted to like it but I just didn't care. A few good laughs were had. The Hulkbuster scene was cool, even though I feel like it undermined the Hulk's power. The trailers made it look like this would be the MCU's Empire but it was more like Phantom Menace heyoo

Man I was almost ready to cry with joy after watching the QL, yesterday. Glad to hear it's really as good as it looked. I hope it pays off for all the developers favoring substance over style in role-playing.

I'm at the point now where I'm an itsy bitsy tiny little bit bummed out when a QL isn't of the GBEast variety.

This hits me so hard. I probably finished more TP novels than all the others combined which either means that I don't read enough or that he wasn't only good but prolific as well.

I remember discovering Discworld through this game. I remember reading its manual with a flashlight at night. I remember the fantasy section in the mall that has since been shut down and turned into several smaller shops. The books I bought there are standing right behind me in their sixth shelf if I'm counting correctly. RIP

Noob's wishbone fatality is the obvious good choice. That shit is just disgusting. Especially with the head of the victim screaming until it rips apart.

I like MK4 Quan Chi's where he rips his opponents leg off and beats him to death with it.
