76 sucked in terms of black hole gravity wells.

It had some good, the plush mountians with weird mutant critters was a nice change fron usual blasted wastes, and a few things were good, but in general.. Suck.

FO76 is the latest but it is an online/multiplayer game with instanced quests so many don't consider it in the same vein as the rest of the FO games. It also happen way earlier than even FO1. It has a rough release but I've heard it's much better now, though I haven't played it.


If that's the case I'll never see it. And with the above review, it appears I ain't missing much.

So... tried the demo for outrider by square enix. Its... meh? Its not bad, but its not good. Its very average. The most i can say is it feels like awkward gears of war clone with "Rpg elements" stapled on in form of equipment to cash in on looter shooter, and very mediocre class power stuff.

The graphics are meh, everybody blocky and lumpy. Controls are meh, its an unrefined gears of war cover shooter. No regen health, but you heal by following your classes power rules. And the classes seem.. meh. Nothing really special that truely helps you in combat. Using the fireclass they might as well have given me grenades.

The story is.. well. Weak. Earth be fucked yo, people jumped ship, and now on new planet thats green and vibrant with weird aliens. Then fu ky shit happens. People are cunts, you kill some of the cunts, and then are put in stasis. Then you wake up 30 years later and everything is fucked up and brown and standard wasteland bullshit.

Old friend characters react like you shit in their families coffins before throwing in angry dogs, when youve done absolutely nothing wrong cept almost die and they stuffed you in cryo. And then you decide to help them despite the fact they do nothing but heap abuse on you and dont even give you gear to help.

The enemy side is "insurrectionists" or something. They are evil cannibal raiders. Less wacky version of raiders from borderlands. Thats bout it. No valid point, redeeming qualities, or anything far as i can tell by the hundreds of people they are shown hanging and setting on fire and just randomly murdering.

The game is so not worth its listed 60 dollars.. or 50 dollars... or 40. Or even really 30. Maybe 25. And then id wait for it to go on sale for 20.

Tried The Last of Us.  Got all the way through to what I assume is the endgame, but have not finished.  Left Joel standing in the hospital. I am disappointed that the goal the protags have worked for all game turns out to be just another bunch of targets.  And all my clicker killing skills are more or less for naught here. I'm a demon with the tossed brick/molotov combo. Ah, well.

It was and it wasn't. It's very different from the open world stuff that I've been playing, and the controls were wildly different, so that took some getting used to. But once past all those frustration, yeah, it was kinda fun once I got the hang of it. I'll wrap it up one of these days, but right now just not to make others crazy who don't understand how I can just leave it hanging.  Because I'm cruel, that how :D

It's a game. If it doesn't work for you anymore, ditch it.

I have not. And don't plan to.
Diablo II was bad enough for my wrists/hands.

Yeah. I have to agree. Basically after the first one then I had enough. I was more of a StarCraft fan. However, Blizzard is not slick so well recently with all the bad news.

Really, there are so many ad hoc weapons available in the average office, no one should ever have to feel victimized when a steel penda-flex hanger can be so efficiently and brutally adapted.
