Honestly, my main gripe is the removal of it's factions system, weapon degradation and hardcore. Being able to slaugheter an Imperial camp and then be best buddies with the Legate seems really off. Also, I was never keen on my sword not dulling. I tend to try and replace my sword every two hours I play, to emulate having it go blunt. Also, with the amount of food in the game, it seemed odd there was no way to get hungry. It was all relatively useless, considering a potion coulf give 10x more health benefit.
Yeah Skyrim had a lot of stupid shit in it, but it was still fun at least. For stuff like hunger and weapon degradation though, I am fine with just leaving that to RP if I have to, but it's cool to have it built into the game.
"Size of an ocean with the depth of a puddle" is a nice quote regarding skyrim. Absurdly fun to play, but really quite shallow when you get down to it, I guess. I'm looking forward to getting a gaming PC so I can mod the shit out of it.
That's why I liked Oblivion. I mean the character models are ugly as sin, the combat is atrociously terrible, and the level scaling can get a bit silly, but the cool shit it does have makes up for it in my mind. I tried to play Morrowind but I couldn't get into it for the life of me.
I've been considering going back to oblivion. I made the unfortunate mistake of playing it after skyrim, so it was a bit of a shock to see a game that wasn't as.. eh, refined, I guess, as skyrim was. Looks like a game from the early days of the PS2 or Xbox.
I got to become grand champion of the arena, though, I remember that. People say that becoing master of the thieve's guild or dark brotherhood was easy in skyrim, but I became grand champion pretty damn easily.
Thieves Guild in Oblivion is fun as shit tho
that's why I play a thief first in every single fucking fantasy RPG I play now
I must confess, Elder Scrolls is my only fantasy series. I've looked at dragon age, but I dunno. It looks too WoW-ey, if that makes sense. Not big on the gameplay style.
I don't like Dragon Age, but I mostly play the Elder Scrolls games if I want a fantasy RPG because few games let you actually roleplay.
Hmm. I think that's why I never even glanced at the witcher hype train. I tend to like my open-worlder's with character customisation.
That said, I could never get into Dark Souls. Though, grated, that was for different reasons entirely.
I don't think of games like Dark Souls as RPGs really, so I just think of it as an action game with RPG elements to it.
I suppose. I'm still baffled how the series has effectively extended to five games, as Demon Souls and Bloodborne are basically Dark Souls anyway, from what I've heard.

Outside of a motorway, I've never actually seen a road that flat.
But then again, I live in a valley so all the roads are uphill.

I'll be doing computer games development for the next six years of my life 
Dude what?
6 years for a college course?
Are you getting super scammed out of money or something?
6 years for a college course is crazy man
No. Two year course, free, at college. Then a four year course at uni, including a year on placement.
Thank god. I was worried then.
Nah. British college is free, provided you're under 19 at the time you start. Or at least the one I'm at is, anyway.
Though British university is more akin to american college though. Apparently, our college = american high school. So I guess that means middle school = secondary/ high school here and elementary school = primary school in britain.
Or something like that, anyway.
I'm British m80. I thought you were doing a btec for 6 years at college.
didn't know m80 no. I don't think that length of course exists outside of degree-level.

Who gives a shit? If you don't like it, go back to playing the original unedited games.
Who cares if M Night Shnalymang makes an Avatar 2? If you don't like it, just go back to watching the original cartoon.
That's not actually a good comparison since Shamalamadingdongs adaptation is something different entirely.
Something comparable to CEA would be like if Avatar were rereleased with an updated and more modern art style and you could switch back and forth between the two on the fly. Meaning if you don't like the new art style you're capable if watching it in it's original form easily without even having to interrupt your viewing experience.
But then if you didn't like the new art style (that was heavily shown off prior to release) and you don't feel that the original is worth the price they're asking then the question you have to ask is this.
Why did you buy it if you didn't like it? Not giving people money speaks a whole lot louder than complaining on the internet.
Spoiler This doesn't mean you can't express your distaste. Just don't expect that you're entitled to an audience that gives a fuck.
Part of this is my fault for the way I replied to Deci. I was more frustrated with his "Who cares if people make bad additions to things you like?" attitude than anything else. It's a terrible way to look at things, as it completely disregards alternative views on the subject as just being fucking whiny.
The only part of CEA that I don't like is how shitty it runs. It made playing co-op fucking awful.
To be fair, they were trying to make a game with no online co-op have online co-op. Combine that with shitty microsoft servers making any Halo co-op run shittily and you have a prize-winning combo.

Try getting some new games. Get the fallout games. They're both (3 and New Vegas) really fun time sinks, even if the former's writing is a little dubious...
If you already have them, replay them! I started a NV play a while back only using explosives. I'm more of a guns-type guy, so using frag grenades and dynamite as a primary weapon with a Grenade rifle on the side was a new experience, especially if you use some of the craftable grenades like the tin grenade. That thing was a life saver on dead money.
I have never finished a Fallout game. I replay NV from time to time but eh, never grabs me enough. No new games interest me right now except MGSV and maybe Bloodborne
Unfortunate.
However, New Vegas is very much a game where you have to put up with a pretty boring first hour before you get to all of the juicy meat of the game. Once you get int Vegas itself, the game drastically opens up to you, as you've got the best weapons and armour vendors unlocked, and the questline will take you to the major factions that will giveyou the cool stuff like power armour.
Or be like me and steal an NCR disguise from Primm and sneak up the deathclaw road and onto the McCarran monorail into vegas to skip an hour of hoofin' your arse through a pretty boring desert.
The best tip with Fallout games is to make a twist and stick to it. Define limits and work within them. Or, as Yahtzee said, "Let's motherfuckin' role play!"
To be honest, a game like Fallout is never really 'finished'. It's so open ended. For instance, I rarely complete the main quest of the game, I prefer to wander off into the distance and do side quests and play through the DLC more often than not.
Yeah I've gotten to New Vegas and fucked around for a while afterward, I just get bored after a while and drop it, though. I ALWAYS roleplay though, same as when I play Oblivion. WAYYYYY more fun to put limits on what you can and can't do in my opinion. But yeah I always get way too sidetracked to ever beat the main quest. I think I've only beaten the main quest to Oblivion as far as western RPGs go.
You should give the MQ a go. It takes you to the really interesting factions in the game, unless you've done all of the side quests in which case you literally just tell the quest-giver "I've got their allegiance" and skip to the endgame.
I can't tell you my delight when I'm at the end battle, watching my NCR, Securitron, Brotherhood, Enclave and Khan allies all slaughtering the Legion as the Boomer rain sweet, sweet artillery fire and airborne destruction down on the enemy.
If you want something to do, do the main quest, it's actually really fun. Not like FO3's main quest, which wasn't all that great.
Yeah I've just always gotten to part where you run around getting the allegiance of the factions and never went past that because I would get too caught up in sidequests. It's fun though, I still love the game.
Yeah. Best way, I've found, is to try and organise quests together. Get all the quests, for example, involving Vault 22 and do them all at once so you don't have to keep going back.
Can't fucking wait for Fallout 4. It's joint with Halo 5 right now for my personal GOTY, purely from pre-release stuff.
Oh yeah I'm fairly optimistic about Fallout 4. I don't love the direction they went with Skyrim but I hope Fallout 4 will be different.
The fact they've revamped the game to make the gunplay feel not shit should alleviate most of my issues with the prior fallouts. Plus, all of the crafting and customisation we're getting just looks amazing. I hope we get just as extensive armour customisation, too. The town building also looks great. If they add in a hardcore mode that isn't piss easy, Fallout 4 is looking like the very image of my perfect game.
November 11th just can't come fast enough.
For me, if they just keep the immersion you get from NV I will play it. But the gunplay looks like a nice step up and everything else looks cool; I just don't want them to fuck with the depth of the game. NV wasn't like crazy DnD style deep or anything, but I like having my options open to how I wanna roleplay and I like to have interesting places to visit, not the same dungeon 100 times in a row (Skyrim)
Yeah. For all my love of Skyrim (I don't want to know how many hundreds of hours I've sunk into the game :C), I have a lot of faults with it. Honestly, my main gripe is the removal of it's factions system, weapon degradation and hardcore. Being able to slaugheter an Imperial camp and then be best buddies with the Legate seems really off. Also, I was never keen on my sword not dulling. I tend to try and replace my sword every two hours I play, to emulate having it go blunt. Also, with the amount of food in the game, it seemed odd there was no way to get hungry. It was all relatively useless, considering a potion coulf give 10x more health benefit. My main thing though is to just have something new to explore. I love Fallout 3, Vegas and Skyrim (Could never really get into Oblivion), but I've played them that much I pretty much know the maps off by heart. I'm relishing having that sense of discovery and not knowing what I'm about to encounter again with a new open world game, rather than instantly knowing every exploit and hidden loot cache from the get-go. I'm just looking forward to having an RPG, really. All of my XB1 games (Aside from Far cry 4) are pretty much multiplayer games (GTA, Halo, BF4 and titanfall are my main games on current gen), so havig a nice single player game to sink my time into is going to be good. Multiplayer can only occupy me for so long. Still, at least I'll have Halo 5's campaign to keep my occupied in the two weeks leading up to Fallout 4!

I'm of pH 7 towards you.
/chemistryjoke
pH 7?
Sorry I suck at chemistry.
ph 1-6 is an acidic substance, pH 8-14 is an alkaline substance. Seven is neutral (IE water). The further away from seven, the more powerful it is. So, like, lemon juice is a 4 or a 5, but battery acid is a 1 or 2, and bleach is a 9 or 10. IIRC. Edit- I was slightly off but got the general gist of it.

*british college* So, I was kind of worried after tanking my AS levels (I got UUUE, lol) that I wouldn't be able to get into a college because of how late it would be (Term starts in a week), but I went to enrollment today and got in. So now, providing I eventually get onto the university course I'm interested in, I'll be doing computer games development for the next six years of my life I must say, for the first time in a while, I'm really fuckin optimistic about what I'm doing. I more did A lvel in the first place at my parent's behest, but I guess they realised now that trying to get me to do stuff doesn't work. So... yeah. I'm pretty happy now. Get to do the subject I'm most interested in for two-and-a-half days a week, and gives me an extra two days to go and find a part time job.

WAYYYYY more fun to put limits on what you can and can't do in my opinion. But yeah I always get way too sidetracked to ever beat the main quest. I think I've only beaten the main quest to Oblivion as far as western RPGs go.
You should give the MQ a go. It takes you to the really interesting factions in the game, unless you've done all of the side quests in which case you literally just tell the quest-giver "I've got their allegiance" and skip to the endgame. I can't tell you my delight when I'm at the end battle, watching my NCR, Securitron, Brotherhood, Enclave and Khan allies all slaughtering the Legion as the Boomer rain sweet, sweet artillery fire and airborne destruction down on the enemy. If you want something to do, do the main quest, it's actually really fun. Not like FO3's main quest, which wasn't all that great.

I actually have no idea what the hell GMOs are, tbh
genetically modified organisms crops made with genetic engineering to be able to crow easier and more plentiful, to combat the problems of starvation and famine we'll be likely to face in the future

Try getting some new games. Get the fallout games. They're both (3 and New Vegas) really fun time sinks, even if the former's writing is a little dubious...
If you already have them, replay them! I started a NV play a while back only using explosives. I'm more of a guns-type guy, so using frag grenades and dynamite as a primary weapon with a Grenade rifle on the side was a new experience, especially if you use some of the craftable grenades like the tin grenade. That thing was a life saver on dead money.
I have never finished a Fallout game. I replay NV from time to time but eh, never grabs me enough. No new games interest me right now except MGSV and maybe Bloodborne
Unfortunate. However, New Vegas is very much a game where you have to put up with a pretty boring first hour before you get to all of the juicy meat of the game. Once you get int Vegas itself, the game drastically opens up to you, as you've got the best weapons and armour vendors unlocked, and the questline will take you to the major factions that will giveyou the cool stuff like power armour. Or be like me and steal an NCR disguise from Primm and sneak up the deathclaw road and onto the McCarran monorail into vegas to skip an hour of hoofin' your arse through a pretty boring desert. The best tip with Fallout games is to make a twist and stick to it. Define limits and work within them. Or, as Yahtzee said, "Let's motherfuckin' role play!" To be honest, a game like Fallout is never really 'finished'. It's so open ended. For instance, I rarely complete the main quest of the game, I prefer to wander off into the distance and do side quests and play through the DLC more often than not.

*As I understand it, many people want guns because, naturally, they aren;t comfortable with police mounting .50 cal turrets on humvees. Which I can totally understand. Remove some of that fear, and I imagine some people would probably have less reason for having them. Similarly, improving areas with gang violence problems would alleviate some of it, too.
Police do not have that kind of weaponry. The only "military" equipment they have access to is transport tanks for protecting police in riots, armor, and automatic rifles.
*slight exaggeration* Still, police are slowly turning into a military force in america. And it's because they're having to stock equipment that's better than what civilians can get so that they can be a police force. If civvies were packing better firepower than the police, then I'd be questioning the use of a police force. No one outside of the military should have access to military equipment.

though I wish they'd have made Thel's faction more H2A-like in Halo 5 to represent the difference between both factions.
Well, really, having some of the H4 Sangheili in his faction isn't actually an issue. It's Thel using that model that is the issue.
Meant the armour.
That too
*I know this is late* But the fact is, the new Covenant (Jul's) has very few/ no manufacturing capability, and is forced to raid and scavenge their weapons, armour and technology. Thel has a good portion of the Covenant's industrial base, considering his terriroty will be very extensive. Jul's faction uses armour and weapons either scavenged or from Hesduros, and thus they bear the Hesduros aesthtic (Much more insectoid than previous designs). Whereas Thel is using designs from the Covenant and the pre-Covenant era, so he'd be more likely using those amrours seen from H2A, Reach/ CEA and Halo 3, the latter of which we see in Escalation in the form of Ascetic Sangheili escorting Thel. In an ideal world, this difference could be noted in-game, with Thel's faction bearing a more traditional Reach/ H2A style in their gear, while Jul uses the Hesduros design in his Covenant. From a gameplay standpoint, being able to easily distinguish the two factions would be helpful. Of course, from an IRL standpoint, I imagine it simply isn't feasbile to spend mass resources building weapons, vehicles and armour for a faction that is lookign to only appear in 3 or 4 missions out of a total 15-ish. Plus, from personal standpoint, being able to see T26A and T26C (Reach style and Halo 3 style. Or the other way round) in battles against each other would help distinguish that the Covenant has different craft in use between factions just like how an F35L-II is distinct from a Q-5. Or an M1 tank from a Type-99, and so forth.

Halo CE is dreadfully boring.
Easily my least favorite of the entire series.
Yeah, I'm late to the party, but I figured I'd throw in my input. Verb's not gonna like this game, considering I'm an admitted Halo fan with plenty of bias towards the series, and I refuse to Play CE because of how little fun I've had with it. It just hasn't aged well.
I'm also a Halo fan, and I love CE. I guess that means Verb's going to love it, too.

Honestly, the problem isn't with firearms. It's with the mindset. The reason it works here in Britain is because nobody (A minority) want them outside of reasonable use (IE farmers, hunters, etc don't count). It's very much a mindset that nobody wants a gun, that it isn't a problem. When no one wants a gun, no one will be going out of their way to get one illgeally.
In Murica, guns are, I guess, ingrained in the culture of the country. If you implemented similar laws, people would still want them and just black market purchase them.
SO if I were in charge, I'd begin by doing a change of mindset. Less glorification of the military, less militarisation of the police* and probably implement programs to help areas with high amounts of firearm violence.

Also, better background checks for people purchasing a rifle. Any history of serious mental illness would be instantly a no.
