What's the stigma???? Am I falling into a stereotype trap???

@Tony

Smut.

Lots and lots of smut.

I've heard positive things about The Long Dark, watched a friend of mine stream it a while back and he really enjoyed it - though he's also Canadian, so the game more or less was developed for him. If you like survival experiences, have you considered checking out the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series? Think of them as the Russian Fallout. Metro 2033 is also a good option too.

@Prawn

haha yeah I'll have to check them out I totally haven't bought them already and played them religiously until they crashed haha

You know what the most damning part is? I kind of want to do the same, because I am blindly optimistic about video games and try to find positives in them whenever I can. I loved the character of Kellogg, by the way. I wish he was the main antagonist, that dude was badass. His whole backstory was awesome.

@Prawn

I think 4 is a terrible Fallout game (and a mediocre RPG at best), but I really love playing it as a survival game. That'll probably change when I can finally afford The Long Dark, but modding my game to no end by adding different survival features and removing the issues with survival (no saving) really improves the experience. The game never lets me save if I add mods that add crafting recipes tho, so those mods are out of the question.

Also: I spent far too many hours in Fallout 4 and will be reinstalling it soon to spend even more unearned hours. yay me

Speaking of the stream, did they announce anything to do with Elder Scrolls yet? Or are they still going all in on the failed MMO?

@Prawn

Considering the fact that there's only been a single piece of Elder Scrolls merch and the rest is all Fallout related, I highly doubt we'll get an Elder Scrolls announcement.

<Snipped quote by Mara>

What we saw of the original sequel was so conceptual that it might as well have been nothing.

@Fabricant451

Look, I liked the aesthetics and concept okay. :c

Yeah but we got a new Prey so...yay?

@Fabricant451

Yay, a new Prey that was Prey only in name and was inferior to what we saw of the original sequel.

That's what was disappointing about the reboot, the fact they had the aesthetics all nailed down, the soundtrack (not the Skrillex theme, by the way - which I felt was far from subtle and too in your face and obnoxious), the art direction, they even had Brian Cox turn up and lend his voice acting talent to the game.

All the right components were there, and I wasn't even too bothered that they made it into a first-person shooter, it's just that it wasn't a particularly good first-person shooter. If it had the depth of the original isometric strategy game it was based on, then I would have been far more forgiving of it.

@Prawn

Can't believe we live in a world where a shitty Syndicate shooter gets greenlit and Prey 2 gets dumped in the garbage can. Now, it's back to watching an inactive stream I've been watching for 3 hours while waiting to get absolutely burned by my favourite studio.
