Well now we know who is not getting a Fortnite Alpha.
Played 5 hours of Clandestine and I've had a modicum of fun with it. The game is jankier than I was expecting (mostly weird animations behaviour) and the controls feel a bit weird in places but so far the idea of stealthing your way in while also hacking PCs and surveillance cameras, tagging guards to keep tabs on them etc is enjoyable.
Story doesn't seem anything to write home about but things still have to unfold so there's time for that.
I like that the main character you directly control is a redhead.

I believe Einstein had a saying about this, lol
Depends on what you mean. It's an open world game, so...

I've started a curator in order to identify games that don't support windowed mode. I apologize in advance for using the "police" tag, but for some reason Steam wouldn't let me choose a nicer name (or one that made sense, anyway) so I copied the reviled "fps police" thing.

If I ever make a game, I am making sure it is locked at 30 FPS and doesn't allow windowed mode for an easy +2 curator recommendations.

I can understand devs locking games to 30fps in some situations (as in, all those japanese ports, for example) but I think that windowed mode support should be the bare minimum.
Since 3 yes.
Save your money.
the fallout 4 intro is probably the worst of any serious fallout game and an improvement only to brotherhood of steel's laughable metal-fueled intro
but holy shit beth's writing staff is weak
my dad's was in the army in ww2 or something and then he died and NUCLEAR POWER AND ROBOTS! and i guess resources ran out because consumerism is bad or something and oh i was in the army too i forgot to tell you and well im gonna go wage nuclear war or something and war never changes even tho i didn't really talk what war was about but trust me it doesn't change at all
also no ron perlman?
seriously it's hilariously bad
first thing i did was alt tab and watch all the other intros. fallout 3's was actually quite alright, tho 1&2 are god tier to this day. new vegas isn't bad, they don't spend much time on the pre-war stuff since it's been done to death, but the cg was really dated even on release. tactics is kind of lame but it's not so bad
i'd say intro ranking would be: fo1 > fo2 > fo3 = fo new vegas >>> fo tactics >>> fo4 > fo pos

Oh yeah, it's goddamn terrible. Even more jarring if you play with a female character.
She's supposedly a damn lawyer and her world is completely changed in a spawn of what is around 5 minutes to her, with her husband murdered and son kidnapped and now in a world completely destroyed where everybody shoots at each other and monsters roam the streets, yet she acts like the most calm person in the world and it seems like she has been living on that world forever.

At this point, I don't even remember what I'm supposed to do in the main story quest. I've totally forgotten my main mission in the game lol.
Yeah, that's Bethesda writing for you.
Having 18hrs of firsthand experience with the writing in F4, it is utterly mediocre at best and trash at worst. My standards were set very low before release so, in a weird way, I'm kinda at peace with it.
With that said, there hasn't been a second so far that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed.

20 hours of Fallout 4 since yesterday... it's safe to say I really like this game. I need to sleep now.
EDIT: Also I'm surprised at how little I've used VATS, I just used it in the last quest I did and that was maybe the 5th time I've used it so far. The gunplay is great and I'm not a huge fan of the slowed down time during VATS, wish it would stop totally.

I don't own Fallout 4, but all of the exposure to it has let me play it through osmosis.
It's an ok game, but a great Bethesda game.

I think he voices the TV anchor during the intro. Could be wrong but it sure sounded like him.

Yup, that was him. Sadly, they didn't get him to do his classic lines.

Prior to Fallout 4's release, I would go into threads and people would write off criticism. They don't play Bethesda games for gameplay or for graphics.
So what exactly are they known for? Story? Quest Design? Lol
I wish gaming journalists would be more objections with their critique, analyzing mechanics and elements one by one to asses their place in the industry.

Is this the Gears 1 remake, or that new one that isn't out yet on consoles?
Edit: The remake. Alrighty then.
It's the Gears of War 1 remake.

Told you it wasn't good, and I say that as a fan of the series.
Tell it like it is!
The only positive things so far are : better gunplay(and customization) and a surprisingly decent character creator
Quests so far have been pretty darn boring and written poorly even by Bethesda standards, which is quite amusing. There have been also a few "events" that are actually completely scripted set pieces that feel so wrong on a Fallout game.

No steam, No buy. I think they should dump the old pc version on steam at least, they sold it digitally in the gfwl store before.

I really think Fallout 4 doesnt really feel like a new title with lots of new improvements and really more like Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Doesnt mean its bad (even though its janky as hell) but it feels like what each Assassins Creed is to the old ACs.
More of the same.

Still holds up.
That release date, lol

You play that amazing Sony exclusive From Soft game?
The old pc port was a garbage tier port.

Dogg seems to think it's alright, I think. Pretty sure he posted some 4k screens from it.
Edit:
What I'm getting at: Is it really a "garbage tier port" or is it a "dark souls garbage tier port"?
I honestly don't know that much about the port, other than it having an extra chapter.
