    Admit it: You are going to buy Fallout 4.

    I'll "buy" it. Probably fairly early on, too, because I suspect there will be a lot of concentrated effort right out of the gate by the modding community to fix Bethesda's dick move gimping the game even furtherthan it has already gone. I suspect the first really big mods will be rewriting the...

    Review RPG Codex Review: Pillars of Eternity, by PrimeJunta

    A good review tbh. Far better than anything you'll find on ZOMG! BIOWARE DELIVERS YET AGAIN! 10/10! GOATY IGN type sites, and the dude actually makes enough of an effort to analyze what's in front of him to reach his conclusions. Which certainly puts it ahead of the usual "It sucks, am I cool...

    Citadel of the Black Sun, cancelled SSI-published German RPG

    Interesting. I wish I could brofist you guys, but yeah I'm either not seeing the button, or as is more likely, my account is still too new.

    So... How did you feel about Pillars of Eternity?

    It's ok. Overall better than I was led to believe. An earlier commentator was right though: the "big" thing never materialised. That much is true. It will never have anywhere near the playability of the old IE games. In fact one of it's biggest flaws is the difficulty/lack of/closed engine for...

    Capcom Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    Not gonna lie. It hurts. Dark Souls gets endless reiterations, while DD ends up a F2P MMO. There is no God.

    Citadel of the Black Sun, cancelled SSI-published German RPG

    In it's heyday the Amiga ruled with an iron fist. Nothing could touch it. It was ahead both technically and it's library of sheer awesomeness. It was also THE porn machine of choice. Dem pixels man... dem pixels.... What games were being developed in Hungary? I'm actually really interested...

    Is Mass Effect a Star Wars derivative?

    That's been a staple of Science Fiction since the Sci-Fi golden golden of heroic space operas. Don't forget, that's what Star Wars is. In it's day it was a modern interpretation of matinee serials.

    Incline RPG Codex's Top 50 cRPGs - Results and Reviews

    Look ye upon my works and despair! For I am decline, destroyer of words! Anyway, it's too late. Dark Souls is already in there. It did rather well, too, by the looks of it.

    So I just finished Fallout 3...

    Yeah, I was much the same with the "suspension of disbelief". I gave up asking it too many questions and it rewarded me with a good time aimlessly roaming around a wasteland with a mutt randomly wasting bandits and mutated critters for shits 'n giggles. My overall impression of it was more "A...

    So I just finished Fallout 3...

    To be fair, it's not uncommon to play a game you either dislike or think is crap. DA:O is like that for me. I was excited about it when I first heard about it. Then I played it. I wish I didn't. What a dull, lifeless mess. To my eternal shame I even finished it. I mean damn. Not one of the...

    Incline RPG Codex's Top 50 cRPGs - Results and Reviews

    Not a bad list tbh. Like with any list there will always be personal gripes. Like DA:O. That really should be somewhere near the bottom. I do also understand the reasoning for limiting console exclusives, but I'd love to have seen how Dragon's Dogma would fare. Definitely miles ahead of the...

    So I just finished Fallout 3...

    A bit of this... a bit of that. Mainly Fallout threads and the eternal catwalk battle between stovepipe jeans and overalls down manhole covers, you know?
