Yeah, ex Black Isle guys who went off to form Obsidian
Buggy as shit though, to this day I get the occasional radscorpion stuck in a rock, or my robot companion just disappears for weeks on end.

Fallout 3 was horrendous for bugs and the graphics were shite.
But it's a fucking good game.

New Vegas was alright. Bit dated now though.

I didn't enjoy the world of Fallout 3 as much as I did New Vegas
Felt a bit cramped and theme parky. Liked the extra space New Vegas gave me so there was a bit more wandering.

Still played the absolute shit out of 3 though, it's good, just I have a preference for New Vegas.

I loved 3, I was just so disappointed with it first time round, felt far too linear for my liking, like you had to make a real effort to actually make the game interesting
However, once I made the effort, I realised it was an excellent game. I even ended up buying the add-ons.

My favourite parts of 3 were just the little vignettes that you found
Like a skeleton in a bunker next to a gun, or a couple of skeletons in a bed with some pills.

Seen that Interplay is trying to revive the Black Isle name?
With none of the same people involved and asking for money for a potential 'maybe we'll make a game in the future which you'll still have to buy' way

The "big" games companies are all fucked up at the moment.
THQ is going down the pan, Blizzard fucked up Diablo 2 royally if Hots isn't popular they're fucked. Interplay is shit. EA and Activision haven't released any new IP for years. Steam never releases any games...
I can't think of any more, but they're all shit and I'm annoyed with them.

D3 sold 11 million copies or something ridiculous, they're not in any danger
And HoTS will sell buckets, Koreans innit

But yes, none of these companies sell games I really want to play, other than THQ, but they're dead.

Valve never need money again thanks to Steam.

But hey, I'm enjoying the Witcher 2, that's all that matters.

Yeah, I got D3 on preorder, wasn't happy with it though.
Witcher 2 is a game I should get, I need more RAM though...
(PsychoChomp, Fri 18 Jan 2013, 13:19, Reply)

No it's not a game I particularly enjoyed either
I'm finally properly playing the Witcher 2 (after over a year of owning it and never touching it)

Been brilliant so far. Even with the occasional misnamed elf or some dude trying to eavesdrop on my conversation

Is it easier than the Witcher 1, that game was fucking nails.
I hear there are bonus boobs!
(PsychoChomp, Fri 18 Jan 2013, 13:23, Reply)

Nah, it's much tougher than 1
At least at the start, gets easier the more you go up the skill tree (especially swords)

But yes, boobs from the very first few seconds. Also had a nice little fuck after we fell into a cave, nice subtle game.

The radscorpions disappearing is quite odd
As is a bird that keeps appearing as a friendly character on my radar...

Birds are your chummy chums
Look at them playfully pick at the corpses. Bless.
