I agree. That's the only thing I'm slightly worried about. I like just having to select my reply and getting an immediate answer from the NPC. Bethesda are great at what they do though, so it will probably be kick ass either way.

Er, so I probably missed the earlier posts on the subject, but...
I just flipped the last pedal required to pay off my PS4+Arkham Knight bundle!!!!!

Fathers Day Is Coming. Shortly followed by Hunting Scum All Night In A Cape simulator.

I'm usually years behind on most games (just hit level 16 in Borderlands) so I'm pretty glad to be on the cutting edge again. I tend to get about one new release per year. Already got my bargain bin purchase planned... Shadow Of Mordor, AKA BatRanger.

OK, so I also have been playing assasins creed part like 600 or whatever. Meh. Too much pirate shipping, not enough epic hits.

Yeah I don't think it's a deal breaker but I kind of like being able to do what you said.
If they cast the voice well it won't get cumbersome.
I really hope they haven't fucked with VATS.

My instinct is to disregard anything from reddit.

[ShaunNecro]

Yeah, thats probably 100% fake.

So I got bloodborne. So far im about three hours in and ive killed the big giant guy in the cape with the meat cleaver thing and the big supermutant with the bricks that fucks your shit up if you get close. I got annihilated by these werewolf things though. things that I like are that there is definitely an aspect that pulls you in. I don't know what it is but I don't want to just flat out quit...however I really cant stand how if you die if feels like you haven't made any progress...ive activated the respawn point in central yharnam but even then if I get past the gate with the supermutant guy I still get raped by the werewolves and have to go through alllllll of that shit again. Really don't like that. Liking the story and the design though. It def seems like they intended this to be a previous gen game that sony paid them off to wait for PS4 to sell consoles, the graphics aren't that impressive, though I absolutely adore the design.

Boom, new life in the Game thread. Slowed down a little there.

That leak will only be confirmed if we hear nothing about it in a week or so.


Honestly, I'd love a Dishonored 2 in the Fallout universe. I'm not huge into FO3/NV, but a supernatural stealth game in a post apocalyptic world would be cool. Raiding bandit camps or infiltrating buildings would be so fun.

[Iommic Pope]

That is a great idea, but I found Dishonoured a little cumbersome to play.
I like Fallout's approach to shit a bit better. It's much more open, although not without its own issues.
Dishonoured felt like it was on rails to me, a little like Bioshock.

That leak is almost a year old...

[Iommic Pope]

That's why I thought the timeline seemed legit, plus the apparent info about the character being narrated.
Nice to know there's a lot of content in the not too distant future as well.

That's the whole point.

I've been playing Destiny still......I'm addicted.

I've also been playing Pokemon X. My first pokemon. It's pretty good. I've restarted 3 times because I felt like I was rushing through it.

I really hope they've taken VATS out back and shot it, and instead focussed on tighter FPS mechanics.

[Iommic Pope]

Meh.
VATS is a huge part of fallout.
The new incarnation is kind of weird, but it really was the coolest thing ever back in the turn based games.

Being able to target limbs and blow them off was awesome.
They should ramp that shit up.

[futuresailors]

DICK SHOTS.
that is all.
