[DFOnline] Falloutsanding?

Just a short post to facilitate some discussion.

Now that our resident vidja gamers have had a chance to roam the wastes of a post-apocalyptic Boston in Fallout 4, how is it? How early into the game do you discover the apocalypse started when the Patriots actually did go 19-0? On a scale of 1 to Andrew Luck, just how frighteningly hideous are the bloodthirsty mutants?

What I’m trying to ask my fellow Commentists, is it getting your drive hard? If you haven’t been able to enjoy it quite yet, then what are you playing this weekend?

I really did sprain my toe, but am assuming a call to action

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I sprained my opposite toe to my not working on my leg in an impressive fashion. I refuse to do stretches so my back is dead forever. ::does more stretches::

I have kept myself drunk for 2 days so my leg doesn’t feel like someone is stabbing a spear into it every time I move the wrong way. That is a lie. I feel it every time.

Is this where we’re at now? I need to know where to leave my posts that no one will read!

How can you say that? You know I read your 4 am posts with vigor.

Holy shit! We used to have that!

I’d blitz a lot.

I GUARANTEE THAT THIS SHIT DOESN’T WORK:

Cribbage fucking rules!

I’m with Sill.

My newest game is Civ 4, which I downloaded a couple months back. My most recent game before that? Neverwinter Nights. Fuck this new shit.

I’m about two days, eight hours into it. I liked it better when these games didn’t measure my play time in days.

Sill Bimmons

I stopped LONG before that.

ballsofsteelandfury

I loved that game!

I loved playing Metal Gear Solid IV but I got so intimidated by the amount of time it would suck up, I haven’t fired it up in weeks. Also been binging on Star Wars Battlefront. I was completely put off at first with how stripped down the game is, but I gotta admit it’s addicting gameplay and beautiful graphics + STAR WARS is just making it too hard to stop playing.

Saturdays are when I get most of my gaming done, especially since I’ve been playing a lot of Metal Gear lately and so can’t really just fire it up for an hour and a half in the evening in case I hit cutscene-zone at a bad time. Today was errands in the morning and nap in the PM, so just going to get started now. Since Saturday evenings are split by Dr. Who though, it’ll be Grozny Grad (last time through) before Who and either more MGS3 after or Revengeance if cyborg killin’ needs to happen.

While Fallout 4 would be on my must-play list (and, with a Pats fan in the house, the troll potential could be quite good), I don’t have a machine that can play it at the moment. If that should change, I’ll pick it up.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Again aging myself. Does a 17 hour FF7 run through impress anyone. If not I will fuck off again.

Petronel

Sounds good to me, but then again I’m not these guys: http://speeddemosarchive.com/FinalFantasy7.html

(Looking forward to the remake?)

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I don’t believe that is possible. Midgar takes that long if you skip everything

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I am totally watching that now. Escape to save time.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

The remake was promised 30 times, it is never gonna happen

Petronel

Don’t know if you’ve been following the news, but it’s looking rather more real these days:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/19/e3-2015-final-fantasy-7-is-a-remake-not-a-remaster

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/12/05/final-fantasy-vii-remake-details-original-launches-today-on-ps4/

Also announced at E3 was NieR 2, which will probably be what finally makes me get a PS4.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I will never believe til I see it

Petronel

Avatar test. Set it up here and on Gravatar – if that doesn’t work, do I have to nail 95 theses to the door or is there another option?
(Loaded up game. Had saved in jail cell, but got dumped to the start of the torture scene. JUST finished. Sheesh…)

Petronel

Damimt.

For whatever reason, I sat thru the entire debacle of Arkham Knight for pc without refunding my preorder. Just a few days ago, I got the Origins Blackgate game (or whatever it’s called) that was the PS Vita/mobile port to pc for free – and also since I just recently powered thru all the current episodes of Gotham – I decided to run thru the Arkham series in chronological story order for this month.

Because I’m Batman.

My biggest complaint with the game is that there aren’t more options to interact with Dogmeat, positive reinforcement stuff like “give treat” or “pet” when he’s a being a good pup by dismember ing a ghoul or finding some hidden loot.
Aside from that, perfect game 10/10 would vault again

I was playing Halo 5 on legendary but the final battle with the Warden Eternal is so difficult as to make it boring. “Oh look, I’m dead again in 20 seconds” so I broke it off.
Now playing the Morg City zombies map on Call of Duty. If you can hook up with three other people it is really, really fun. Graphics are amazing, soundtrack is really cool and while it’s difficult to complete tasks it’s not difficult to be aggravating.
I am hearing a lot of good things about FO4. I’ve never played any of the other ones; are the necessary to really enjoy this version?

Beastmode Ate My Baby

No. The games are similar in controls, etc., but they all take place in different areas in different years. So far I’m finding FO4 to be pretty amaze-balls.

I’m really enjoying Fallout 4 so far. I’m mostly building up Sanctuary and occasionally wandering around. I’m really ADHD when I play these games, though. I get onto one quest, then I see Swan, and I try to murder him, and then I see some super mutants and kill them, then I see a house in the distance, so I wander over there, and I never get my quests done. Dogmeat is my partner in crime, too – he finds the most random fights and shit to do.

Beastmode Ate My Baby

Pretty much what I’m doing. I’m more into scavenging what I can to build up Lexington than kill beasties (most of which are quite capable of killing me back).

My sole survival tip so far: Shoot ghouls in the leg. They go down quicker that way, and can be finished off with a bullet to the brainpan.

Doktor Zymm

I’m playing lots of Assassin’s Creed : Syndicate
I don’t give a shit about the backstory Templar crap, but historically based open world stealth/fighting? Hells yeah. The only thing that kinda bugs me, and this is true of all the Assassin’s Creed games, I feel kinda silly running around essentially doing parkour.

ballsofsteelandfury

We should institute a DFO Game Night. Different online game every week. What do y’all think?

Possible off-season activity?

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

What else are we going to do on Sundays?

ThePirateSloth

My gaming group plays an oneline Cards Against Humanity clone every so often, which has all of the expansions plus a mess of user created sets for things like PAX, Game Grumps… maybe a brony one for some stupid fucking reason. We all hop into our mumble channel, stock up on our favorite vice, and talk shit all evening. It’s good times.

ballsofsteelandfury

Honestly, one of my favorite books.

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

This explains a lot.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I still have my dad’s ‘classic book club’ copy. So many have taken the basic premise of the book and transformed it into other genres.

Horatio Cornblower

I thought this was a Japanese porno at first.

ThePirateSloth

That’s the sequel: The Rententacling.

I am poor as shit and refuse to spend any money on games, If everyone wants to do CS I am in

Low Commander of the Super Soldiers

The town peoples hatred of Synths is very strong. I wonder where they learned such powerful racism?

Sharkbait

It all started because the institute bussed them into southie.
