The Hang-Out: SnesObama Foogee Camp

Wow. There really isn't much for gaming news. Especially when you don't give a shit about David Jaffe or Double-Fine.

I got the in that game for my PS3, and it was the most arduous, boring game I've platinumed so far. I despised pretty much 50% of the entire time that I played it. I doubt I'll ever go back and do the DLC, unless someone gives me some PSN cards for a birthday gift or something.

I still have Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions to keep playing, but I really don't feel like picking up the controller right now. Might just see if there's any good gaming news out there, then try and go to sleep. I need to try and stop sleeping so late when my son is over -- I always feel so bad when I do.

I was playing Skyrim, but it started to feel like I was playing a glitched cheatfest in which you literally had to avoid doing certain things to not have an overpowered character that makes the game a boring godmode RPG. Since Skyrim has so many similarities with Fallout 3, including voice actors, I found the inability to target specific body parts with arrows(or melee weapons) and overall less gory battles to be censored and dumbed down. So, in retrospect I realized how good Fallout 3 was after playing Skyrim.

edit

Arrows and melee weapons doing the same damage no matter where they hit makes Skyrim a dumbed down medieval fantasy version of Fallout 3. Both games are very similar engine-wise but Skyrim made me appreciate Fallout 3 more. Instead of outdoing Diablo, Skyrim copied it and also didn't play test the resulting glitch filled cheatfest enough. Skyrim has sprinting though, that's something Fallout needs.

Played a lot of both Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Never beat either of them though, but many hours were wasted on them. I thought NV was far superior though. It's setting just felt more like the older Black Isle-era Fallout games. It definitely had a higher level of humor, more in line with the classic Fallout games. I thought that Fallout 3 was really too serious for it own good.

I've had quite a few people recommend New Vegas to me, and most said the gameplay just felt better and that it was a more enjoyable game, but I don't really feel like jumping back into a Fallout world any time soon. Then again, I never played the first four games, so I'm really basing my entire impression of the Fallout series off FO3, which really isn't fair. There are just so many other games on my list of games to buy that interest me so much more, that it's hard to care about jumping back into a series where the only iteration I've played I didn't enjoy that much.

I really should prioritize that list... I think it's up to forty games now, or will be once I add everything coming out this year...

I just got the second and third Assassin's Creed games. Finished the story of AC2 this morning and started ACB immediately afterward. Tomorrow, I don't intend to play it at all. All FITAN VIDYA tomorrow. I gotta get my fucking money's worth in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.

In regards to the transition from AC2 to ACB: FUCK YOU, UBISOFT. There is no reason for you to have taken away my hard-earned Altair Armor. Nor is there any reason for you to have taken away abilities that I have earned. Why can't I jump up while climbing anymore? Why do I have to relearn this shit?

Welcome to pretty much every argument in every direct sequel game ever.

Also, apparently, you have to rebuild Rome and all that shit, but there is something I noticed missing: Hookers. Need more hookers. In AC2, I went nowhere without a coterie of whores, and goddammit, I refuse to do it now. Now that I've built the Thieves' Guild, a blacksmith, a tailor, a doctor, and upgraded the bank, I am going to find a place to build a brothell. I hope.

No city is complete without succubi.

Aye, Bethesda bought the rights to Fallout but it's Black Isle that created the dark humor which makes Fallout so much fun. It's not easy to recreate a masterpiece with different developers.

[!nstaGib]

No, it was in reference to... Tsuakalua, or whatever the fuck his username is.

I've seen you floating around on and off for most of last year. Can't remember your original username for the life of me, though, but I think you used to have a different one.

Unless I'm thinking of someone else entirely. In which case... fuck it, I quit. I can't keep most of you people straight anyways.

You should have seen me when I came back from my hiatus.

"You... you were totally registered here when I was really active, but I have no recollection whatsoever of who you are. Wait, were you the guy who...?"

"Nope."

"Well, fuck you then, 'cause that guy was rad. "

I started becoming active again when Halloween came around, boy was that confusing

Yeah, that's always a terrible decision. Especially with the lack of "Previous Username" in profiles anymore.

Yeah, Fallout 3 was developed by Bethesda's in-house development team. Whereas New Vegas was developed by Obsidian Entertainment. Which is made up of former Black Isle employees. That probably had a large hand in making it feel a bit more like the old-school Fallout games.

Yeah, I really, really wish they would go back to VB3


Anyhow, I'm off to bed. Night everyone

It can be found in the "about" section in your profile though.

[Drageuth]

Totally missed this when you first posted. So:

But that one is manually updated. The previous one updated every time you changed your name.

Anyhow, I'm off to bed. Night everyone
