Alright, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Wii U it is.

The GTX 970 can wait. No that Fallout 4 even needs it.

Extremely low default FoV and by default the X and Y axis on mouse movement have different sensitivity. These all have to be fixed via .ini edits, and can't be done through the menus. Also simulation rate being linked to Framerate is dumb. VSync is on by default which in part sorts out out the sim rate as the majority of players will have a 60fps cap... however that means when you're NOT able to manage 60fps 100% of the time you'll be dropping down to 30fps or 15fps, with movement rate, gravity, action speed, everything, changing with your framerate. (this is a problem that existed in Skyrim, though not as bad, and still hasn't been fixed)


In terms of looks, the stuff you see in first person (character model, weapon etc) all look good, but the rest of the game looks like FO3 with the green filter removed. Apart from that it's really not impressive.

Also don't forget the new dumb as shit conversation system, the dumb AI, and the AMAZING FACIAL ANIMATION for a 2015 game.

They also dumbed down how the skills etc work compared to their previous titles. Now it seems they are just purely linked to your SPECIAL starts.


+ all the regular Bethesda fuckworks bugs and issues.





Once GotY edition version is ready I'll look into getting it. Until then it's totally off the radar. Looks poo.

Everything I've read and seen so far has been relatively disappointing.  Apparently framerate determines how fast character movement and gravity works, which is a huge problem unless you are playing with your framerate locked.  Also the world is really small horizontally, apparently taking around 10 minutes to travel from one corner to the other diagonally.

I'd wait until at a minimum Christmas or at least until Bethesda decides it's patch time so that this apparent console port gets sorted.

And being the total hypocrite that I am, I will be getting this game soon. Ugh.

They do make good games, but I know they won't fix it properly. Oh well...

I suppose it's like Mount and Blade in a way. Great concept, just lacking in execution.

Bethesda are still blatant liars though, do you think I should support them?

I am soo sorry for having overslept on this one. Congratulations Gwyncox! Hope your peniscake brought much delight.

On account of being involved in some plastering work yesterday, i must humbly offer my congratulations a bit late.

Happy birthday dude!

<3 all.
