    Tropes vs. Women Protagonists

    On female characters, my belief is that they should at least be competent/useful in some way or form. Like, you might diss a frilly medic character, but in my eyes as long as she's good at her role of healing and has some interesting things to say then I'm not going to be too angry at them. Or...

    Character classes you hate

    I generally avoid playing most Warrior classes, or at least classes meant to focus directly on running up to a guy and taking damage. I also don't like playing defensively. I tend to prefer a highly offensive/Glass Cannon approach so I generally prefer Mages/Rogues. However, I won't deny that...

    Rumours for the next Fallout...

    New Vegas did not have a playable epilogue due to the massive variables that would be improbably to properly program in. For example, a Legion-run Vegas would be quite different compared to a House-run Vegas. They originally had plans for continued play (for example, Yes Man's "Assertiveness"...

    South Park RPG Class List Includes the Jew

    So the Jew is the resident Glass Cannon, I take it. I'd guess that the Jew class would have a Jew Gold ability/bonus that gives him extra starting money. For those unfamiliar with the show, yes that is something in the series. That or a starting Intelligence bonus but penalties to Health and...

    Rumours for the next Fallout...

    I'm pretty sure that a new Fallout game would be set in the U.S. and it'd have to be take place in a place or time period that's relatively unaffected by the previous games (No going back to D.C. or Vegas). Denver was apparently conquered by the Legion so that's a no-go (Lanius explicitly...

    Extra Punctuation: What Human Revolution Got Wrong

    About the bosses, there was a prequel book published that talked about the Tyrants and fleshed them out more. Evidently Gunther was in the group before the events of the game. For Melee, I guess the designers just thought that Adam punching out guys/stabbing guys in the head with armblades...

    Zero Punctuation: Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    Well, they did have a prequel book that fleshes out (no pun intended) the Tyrants, the cyborg dickheads that serve as the bosses.

    Zero Punctuation: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

    Funny fact about the STD joke: Geralt is STD Immune and infertile. It's a Witcher thing that serves to allow him to have as much unprotected sex as he wants. Certainly not as much as the first game but certainly more satisfying than collecting pootang like baseball cards. It's a pretty tough...

    Extra Punctuation: L.A. Noire Is a Bad Adventure Game

    The Combining Ideas thing sounds like Miles Edgeworth's gimmick in Ace Investigators, which is the Logical Process as opposed to Phoenix Wright's mystical doohickey and Apollo Justice's ancestral ability to be Phelps 2.0. The problem with a time limit in an adventure game is that it seems...

    Extra Punctuation: Action Is Not Finisher Porn

    Well, on Quick Finishers the Assassin's Creed games usually had finishing moves/counter kills that don't last too long. Mostly it's just stabbing a mook in the vitals or a fancy cut. In Brotherhood, Ezio can move from mook to mook doing really quick finishing moves. I don't have much problems...

    What?s Wrong with Mass Effect 2?

    I guess I can see his points. Still, I enjoyed the Character parts specifically. Couldn't care less for Miranda and Jacob though. On the ending, I always insisted that while it would be great to hold onto the tech and give it to someone who would make use of it, Cerberus is NOT that someone...

    My idea for a new Fallout

    There are Ghouls that are NCR citizens and they can even be Rangers along with Super Mutants. Lore-wise however, the NCR as of New Vegas has gotten more bigoted towards non-humans. While it be interesting story-wise, options are pretty limited in both gameplay and choice. In the lore Ghouls...

    Lots of New Vegas DLC Coming This Summer

    Fun Fact: The Burned Man originally WAS meant to be a companion in "Van Buren", the supposed Fallout 3 made by the guys who did the original Fallout games before Fallout went to Bethesda. He was pretty much the most evil ************ on the planet and having him around pissed off plenty of...

    Extra Punctuation: Pokemon 100 Percenters Are Mad

    I generally don't complete quests if I think it's going to be too serious of a pain in the ass with a reward that just isn't worth it. I remember that the game Nier seems to have sidequests designed specifically to be as infuriating as possible in order to troll 100% completionists. All of...

    Extra Punctuation: Death in Videogames

    I remember an old flash game that parodied death in video games. In it, if the player dies, it leads to a really long series of cutscenes showing the player character in the hospital, at his funeral and a newspaper article about the villain still doing his thing (might be some other stuff to)...
