Podquisition Episode 208: Take Me Home, Country Roads by Jimquisition published on 2018-11-15T18:56:22Z So how about that Fallout 76? I should point out, this podcast was recorded after only a few hours with the game, before your old pal Jim was utterly sick of it. Expect a more generous appraisal here, and that's saying something, because this appraisal isn't generous at all! Elsewhere, Pokemon Let's Go, a bit more Red Dead Redemption 2, and some o' that Spyro! Genre Entertainment Comment by David Raimo Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze anyone? 2018-12-14T18:50:47Z Comment by Aristatide Actually, related to an earlier topic, not long after I got my 4K TV, I decided to plug in GTA SA to laugh at how bad it looked, and for the most part it was actually... fine. The faces were a nightmare and a half, but all the bright, cheerful, cartoon-y ways everything else was depicted made it work surprisingly well. 2018-12-01T18:35:08Z Comment by Aristatide To be honest Laura, I've been thinking that since the announcement. You ever make it by Pittsburgh, I will buy you a glum drink. 2018-12-01T15:07:14Z Comment by Aristatide You know, Subnautica pulled off the "I know they'll be dead when I get there", but Subnautica was doing a very focused single-player story with that, not huge sprawling multiplayer madness. 2018-12-01T14:50:53Z Comment by Aristatide Yeah. I literally cry every time I read the Survivalist's entries in Honest Hearts, but... you can easily a bunch of those, and only find certain ones through people-given quests. The strength of the incidental holotape writing needs more solid interaction to drive to it. 2018-12-01T14:49:08Z Comment by Aristatide Oh god. Belated realization that a friend of mine tried to do this once. "I'll just build the structure and once I have players they can tell me what they want for theme, narrative, etc." Needless to say, it failed. 2018-12-01T14:45:18Z Comment by Isobutane This was a good episode. Gav spoke a lot less. 2018-11-22T21:29:21Z Comment by kacciocciacciara i miss fistshark... 2018-11-21T10:46:43Z Comment by kacciocciacciara OMG this is great! lovely, gav! 2018-11-21T09:39:19Z Comment by Luke Cassar is there much point of the audio book version when the art seems to be such an important part of the book? 2018-11-19T13:33:13Z Comment by Luke Cassar I for one play games to get away from realism 2018-11-19T11:56:58Z Comment by Luke Cassar eeeh, that's not entirely why V.A.T.S. is in there... it's in there because it was an important part of the original turn based games, and it was a way of connecting the 3D fps rpg with the turn based one, and it worked beautifully in fallout 3. With that said... it still doesn't work in 76 in that regard 2018-11-19T11:33:38Z Comment by Luke Cassar what I don't get is, why aren't there Ghoul towns? Ghoul NPCs? Fair enough if there aren't humans yet because the humans came from the vault, but we should still have fully sapient ghouls 2018-11-19T11:30:54Z Comment by Luke Cassar god damn I love Gavin 2018-11-19T11:25:24Z Comment by Allcrazyman101 I think they forgot that Elder Scrolls Online already exists... 2018-11-18T15:21:57Z Comment by Evan Fenik Yes 2018-11-18T07:16:41Z Comment by Jake Gale FO76 is the first fallout that i havent bought at launch. I bought 3, NV, and 4 st launch and enjoyed them all as well as the DLC. 76 is not really fallout. Its less than half a survival game with a fallout skin. I hope they lose money so they dont do this again 2018-11-17T15:10:42Z Comment by McBeef Synthwave is garbage just like the music of the time it's nostalgic for. 2018-11-16T22:18:33Z Comment by Molly MacAlister RDR2 Where the 'move at more than a mosey' and 'jump/mantle-over obstacles you run up to' actions are on different buttons, but the 'Casually interact with NPC' action and 'Point a gun at their face' action are mapped to the same button. 2018-11-16T14:22:37Z Comment by ThatOneFlareon One thing I am happy they did for Let's Go is immediatly mention when they announced it that it was a spin-off,and a new core game is coming next year. 2018-11-16T14:00:43Z Comment by Easy Six Thats got to be a record 2018-11-16T05:51:01Z Comment by Mr Wongburger They should have just made Fallout 76 a Battle Royale like everything else these days - couldn't have been worse :P 2018-11-16T05:43:13Z Comment by Travis Wheeler No people though. 2018-11-16T04:57:08Z Comment by Dragon_Nexus You say that Jim, but the 90s are becomming on vogue now. 2018-11-15T22:09:44Z Comment by Dragon_Nexus Literally shivered from that. 2018-11-15T21:41:38Z Comment by Chris H Gav you are fucking awesome! 2018-11-15T21:35:32Z Comment by Joseph Mortensen elder scrolls 6: onlinerial remastered (it's just skyrim with a crappy multiplayer mod added) 2018-11-15T21:00:11Z
