I was a doubter when it was announced, but by jove Civ 6 looks amazing gameplay wise! Still not buying right after release though.

Oh hey, a new Civ! Wow those features seem cool, I've always thought multi-tile cities would be great, and the ideas for units seem really interesting. What could possibly - [sees screenshots]...

I'd say the president in Mars Attacks was a pretty clear Nixon ripoff, not Trump. Bloody hilarious movie, it's one of my favorites!

Nah, the modders haven't had enough time to whip up a sex mod... yet!

Empire at War; basically Total War but Star Wars. Amazing mods too. Close second would be Rogue Squadron.

Wow, this Fall is looking rather barren in terms of interesting shows. Which is OK 'cause it gives me time to catch up on my ever-growing backlog. There are only three shows I'm even remotely excited about here: One Punch Man: I've heard good things about the manga, the style looks...

Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Area 88 may be of interest to you.

Here's a rather controversial one: A Song of Ice and Fire. Started off great, but by the fourth book I just couldn't care about the series anymore. The plot threads and number of characters became far too convoluted and bloated, and most of the characters I cared about (for good or ill) were...

Bebop's an artsy, metaphorical, episodic show. If that sort of thing's not your cup of tea and the style, space opera setting and glorious music aren't enough to compensate, you won't enjoy it. Personally I think it's extremely well crafted, but since I prefer shows that are more grounded and...

I've been very slowly working my way through the universal century series; Gundam 0079, Gundam Zeta, and Gundam ZZ. I loved 0079 despite the dated animation, it was one of the finer space opera anime I've ever seen with great characters, pacing, and action. My favorite aspect was how the scope...

Sturgeon's Law I guess; every genre's going to have a healthy proportion of garbage. I can't really comment on the quality of drama shows since that's not a genre I usually watch. I do suspect there's a lot of backlash against harems and moe for moving anime away from its more traditional...

The harem genre is essentially the anime equivalent of the soap opera. Like any other story format or cliche it's not intrinsically good or bad, but I would argue that it does tend to lead poor quality works. Many shows nowadays seem to try harder to fill out their quota of fetishes rather than...

I'd say it's missing my personal vice; Mount and Blade Warband.

500 questions later... Screw you OP!

What most of this boils down to is that Bethesda needs a new game engine. Fallout (and ES games) don't necessarily need more interactive NPC's and quest content, but they desperately need a better sense of scale. I was in DC yesterday, and it was gigantic compared to the capital wasteland in F3.
