Before I thought "man, what a pretty game, the story might be great..." and then after watching their story trailer I was like "were those the best lines of dialogue you can pull from the scenes in the game? Those were... pretty bad". So my interest died down.

The game and its Nemesis System doesn't really become anything particularly interesting until you reach the second environment, which can be half-to-two-thirds of the way through the game depending on how much time you spend in that first area. I guess I'd recommend blazing through the main story objectives until you reach the second environment, particularly since once you're there you can always return to the starting area whenever you like.

Maybe give it a few more hours? The fun lies in the emergent gameplay, but it's hard to really say how to get that to "emerge". It might be less fun for people who are either too good or too bad at the game. For some people it's just not their thing. If that's the case, no worries, move on.

That was my mentality until I realized even after unlock "a specific game changing ability", I'm still not having as much fun as most people are. I'd even say I had more fun playing the early game.

The main reason is that I find the game too easy. I'm just not having cool experiences with the nemesis system. I died only 3 times during the course of the 12 hours and I don't remember a single orc. By the end [spoilers] they choose THE nemesis for you and I was like, "so who are you again? whatever. imma rip ur head off anyways" [/spoiler]. I guess I knew when to run and when to risk breaking line of sight and dropping on the orc over and over again until it dies.

Right now I'm having enormous fun with Watch Dogs. So there's that. Talk about expectations.

Kotaku seems like the perfect place for him. Kotaku is pretty social equity opinion based, and a lot of pieces on kotaku are actually well written. Other than gb my go to gaming site is kotaku anyways, so im happily surprised.

I think they all just caved because it was Brad's passion game.

The flow of the conversation was actually hilarious. The sequence went like this:

  • It was dead and buried. "I don't think Destiny can be on this list" - Jeff
  • Then Vinny resurrected it.
  • The group then begrudgingly accepted it could make the list.
  • Then Brad sort of went into "over-selling it" mode and re-opened the discussion. The thing that really ignited this was his "if only there was more of it" comment.
  • Brad then has to make all kinds of impassioned pleas just to keep it in the top 10.

Listening to it now for the first time, this is basically what it is. Funny how hard Vinny and later Alex, tried to give ways for Brad to justify Destiny on the list to get it over with and move on.

This year (2014) is the year of Alex. He is absolutely the guy on the table I rooted for from beginning to end. Reasonable arguments and all the balls to go up against anyone.

The mods for fallout 3 are not as crazy and game altering as those for the elder scrolls, so i say go for it. The vanilla game is also complete enough so there arent a lot of must have mods. I would say the "must have" mods are better faces, better lighting (for darker nights), and streetlights.

Other: GamerGate.

Somehow it's this for me. OP should just add "Humanity" as an option.
