Adding to this:


There's no framerate cap option

Running at >100 FPS will lock you in place after you hack a terminal

Can't you force a framerate cap using the tools available with your graphics card?

I'm not saying they shouldn't provide one, just thinking that there should be a solution until a native option is available...

Watching GI's live stream of Fallout 4. I can deal with the disappointing graphics and half-baked additions, but not technical issues that could lead to my OS shitting itself. But I do want to play...

For you.

Yes you can, but its quite ridículous that a AAA 2015 game that is evidently affected badly by high framerates doesn't come with a native option to do so.

On the Geek and Sundry stream, the put all of their points into Charisma and Luck and they're running around in a sequined dress with armor pieces here and there.

Two episodes in and I'm firmly on the Tales from the Borderlands hype wagon, what a genuinely funny game, the characters are great and the story is really interesting so far. Can't wait to see what's next!

bish gets all the credit :)
Telltale engine and Gamebryo continue to fight for worst engine in the world. They've both been vying for the title for years.
 
It was passable on 360 but the PS3 version was literally unplayable after a certain point

That's untrue. I platinumed the game and it was before they finished patching it too.
However, what would happen is you'd have to exit the game and restart it so that the RAM would clear and you could get acceptable performance for awhile before repeating.

Only time I found it a bitch on the PS3 version, and I bought it at release, is the Markarth bounty glitch where I couldn't pay off, and was subsequently attacked every visit to the city - even during missions - because there was no way to manage until they brought in that mission that allowed us to relieve the bounty.

I'm with frost. 200+ hours in it with 100% completion, it's been years, but that's the only bothersome glitch I can recall.

LEGACY OF THE VOID ENDING SPOILERS
Oh my God. Are you kidding me? Kerrigan just saves the fucking world from Xel'Naga, turns into this... Fire angel, kisses Raynor and disappears. Then, she reappears in the epilogue as human Kerrigan and meets up with Raynor at the inn from the intro of WoL

Sounds like a worthy follow up to HotS.

(which HotS I mean is up to you)

Not sure you can beat Telltale there. Never going to understand how they can keep the same one for years, ignore regular complaints of janky controls and the like, and still power through hoping no one will notice.

People still buy it. In fact, evsn more people buy it. Why break something that's already broken?

To be fair, they also port their games to everything under the sun. Thus the shitty engine.
You got 360, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Vita, PC, iOS, & Android. So due to that I would say Gamebyro still wins out as being worse.

I blame Humble for their ultra, ultra cheap prices (partly). You are right, though. It's the same case with the mainstream/most-anticipated, or those annually published titles. People buy them, and it's all downhill from there.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, and people still buy it, pretend it isn't broke because you got sales anyway. RIP sense.

At least Gamebryo bothers updating/modifying
barely
with the years. ;-;

They must have improved it somewhat. I haven't any anything like the issues I had with Walking Dead Season 1 with Wolf/GOT/Borderlands. Haven't lost a savegame once, I lost the save at least 3 times in WD. They've also removed a large portion of the open areas from their later games, maybe that helped.

Oh snap, Shahid's leaving Sony. Vita's DOOOOOOOMMMMEEDDD.
Edit: Didn't know he was on GAF.

All my Fallout stuff shipped from Best Buy, hopefully it comes before tomorrow, not sure if UPS delivers on Veteran's Day. Hope to get some hours in before Beth-jank kicks in with game-breaking bugs.

You know sometimes all the resolution in the world, with heaps of SGSSAA on top and even injected with HBAO+ (absent in these shots as it wasn't injectable at the time) just isn't enough compared to getting a bit of professional TLC.

I'm sure it's still coming to Windows sometime this year, maybe.

On the platform you played it on. They still receive plenty of complaints across other platforms. I haven't lost saves myself in any of the later ones, not even in Walking Dead, actually (crossing my fingers). Not encountering them and their not existing, though... GoT on iOS earlier this year, for example, was dreadful. TWAU has its issues on Mac, at least - sometimes the game would just suddenly crash on me and I'd be met with having to redo some things I'd just done within a chapter.
 
I think Fallout 4 looks really nice at almost max(have godrays on high instead of ultra) and 1440P. Lots of blowing trees and debris to make the world feel a bit more alive. Certainly miles above the hilarious Fallout 3 comparisons.

Character models do have a bit of a plastic look to them at times but all around it's nice. Even just stepping outside for the first time shows the game actually has an art direction compared to 3.
