FALLOUT!
I'm about 25 hours in level 19 ATM
I never really got into FO3, put about 15 hours into it, but never really felt engaged...
The whole shooting mechanics felt weird to me, and felt like it was basically just forcing me to use VATS or die which kinda turned me off (I assume it probably gets better the deeper you go, but I was just never interested enough to push through... I loved the hell out of Oblivion, Skyrim and borderlands, so I'm not quite sure what the disconnect was for me...)
I'm totally hooked with FO4 though
at 20 hours I'd done 2 quests
I'm basically a water Baron at this point
My Sanctuary is producing ~ 400 water ATM (and will be producing more when I find some more copper for generators I've got 3 industrial purifiers just waiting to be hooked up to a generator - I'm thinking I need to put some points into scrapper and scrap all those pipe pistols I've been collecting.)
I always come back to sanctuary to find ~200-300 water waiting for me - more than enough to buy whatever I want from trashcan Carla
I've probably explored like 1/2 - 2/3 of the NorthEast quarter of the map - I can see myself sinking many hours into this
I've got 2 points in Gun Nut so I've finally managed to craft myself a decent enough sniper rifle out of a Bolt-Action Pipe-Pistol, and I've built myself a LMG type thing with the regular pipe pistol
anyone got any ideas what to do with the pipe revolver?
I cant really think of a way to use it where I wouldn't just whip out my 10mm Pistol, or a shotgun...
I feel like I've barely scratched the surface and I've already put 2x as much time into it as it takes to finish most SP games these days
If anyone is interested, there's a duping glitch involving dogmeat, and if you do it with the "You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L." book, you can 10/10 all of your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats in like 10/20 mins
Has anyone done much "role-play"-ish type things or just been exploring/questing?
It's kinda morbid, but I made my character a "suicide table"...
It's got some kids toys on the left,
A scalpel, a 10mm pistol and 3 10mm rounds sitting on the You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L. book in the centre,
and a bunch of beer bottles, liquor bottles, shotglass, and chems on the right... (the chems were a friends idea
)My head-canon for it is:
After a hard days questing my character comes home to her slowly emerging settlement, sits down at the table, and starts feeling the emotions of losing everything.
She decides it's time to end it, and gets hammered so she can work up the courage to finally pull the trigger.
Then she looks at her sons toys, and knows deep down he's out there somewhere, there's some hope...
Then she takes a bunch of sleeping pills and wakes up the next day to repeat it all...
Like I said pretty morbid, but I feel like it gives her a bit more motivation and explains why she would be so fine running through the wasteland decapitating people with a tire-iron-axe, or blasting their limbs off with a sniper rifle...
-------------------------------
Also, Rocket League!
They've added "Mutator" settings, so you can tweak a whole bunch of settings:
Game length
score limit
game speed
Ball shape
ball speed
ball bounciness
ball size
boost speed
boost amount
gravity
demolition settings
respawn time
adds a whole lot more replay-ability to it
I used to just cycle between 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, & 4v4 matches with a buddy, now we basically just leave it on 1v1 and change up the settings every match
Here's a match we've done a few times:
Small, super light, super fast, super bouncy, cube ball, with low gravity, unlimited 10x boost, demolition on touch, time warp, unlimited time, first to 5 goals
It has lead to both of us screaming "Fucking God DAMN that FUCKING cube!" multiple times, it'll just bounce like crazy

Well fuck, I had a raid on sanctuary last night (My first ever - in about 25 hours of play...Has anyone done much "role-play"-ish type things or just been exploring/questing?

My combined food water is ~560.
My turrets add up to ~80 defense...
All was going fine, my settlers all seemed to have laser guns for some reason (NFI how they got hold of them, all I've given them is gas masks or sack hoods once I assign them a task...) and we were slamming the invading gunners pretty hard.
Down to 1 enemy left, and I can't quite find him...
Then,
*~*KABOOM*~*
Fucking big Fat-Man explosion goes off, takes about 3/4 of my health, and apparently kills the last invader...
I figure "huh, I guess the last one was a bit suicidal".
Then I loot all the bodies, no fatman...
I start talking to my settlers - TWO of them had fatmen (fatmans?)
How the hell did they get these?
But to the main point of this little tale -
The fatman exploded DIRECTLY on my suicide table...
All my meticulously placed props - scattered across all corners of sanctuary
At least I got a screen cap of it

I love Fallout 4, about 38 hours on it, level 26.
Love the amount of variety, you guys all talking about your nice Sanctuary settlements....I haven't even touched that!
Also, Trashcan Carla....I meet her, and she's all like, "so, you gonna rob me??" uh....well now that you mention it, gimme ya caps! Then I tried talking to her again and she was all swolled off.
Saw her again later on the road, tried talking to her again, she was still swolled off. So I shot her dead
Also, pretty early into the main quest, when you go searching for the guy who took your son, there is an armory room like right by him. I opened it up, grabbed the fatman/missle launcher (I forget what it was)
Went into the room, talked with the guy, he's all like "Oh, you're in for it!"
BOOOOOOM. He's dead. Synths are dead. I'm basically dead from the explosion of shooting this at him so close as well. Still worth it. Lol.
I've actually started to get a little burnt out, its rare for me to just put 40 hours into a game anymore in such a short time. But, I'm gonna play some later I reckon. A fantastic game.
I'm building towards Pistols, but idk what else. One more level I can disarm with my pistols. I have dogmeat maxed out. I have 10 Charisma + 2/3 more from assorted gear I wear, so I can easily get the maximum money for any quest, and sometimes just easily beat quests by saying the right thing. I also have the perk that lets you pacify people, it kind of sucks tbh, just because I'm strong enough that it doesn't matter. I only got it cause I had so much charisma already. You can give orders though at maximum level, pretty sure you can recruit people for your colonies with it. Probably going for the maximum luck perk next, as I have lots of luck.
Roomates beat the game already. Both now playing on the hardest difficulty, and they basically have beaten that too. They made melee characters, honestly it is stupid OP from the looks of it. The one can sneak all the time, while sneaking doesn't move slower, does 10x damage on sneak attacks, BUT this is the kicker, there is some perk that allows you basically teleport to people with Melee in Vats. Pretty decent distance. So, if he's not walking around just one shotting everything, he can sneak, and then just immediately dash to them and kill them. He killed some giant ass behemoth thing that you're supposed to use an airship for, in one hit. Crazy.

My old man just picked one up for himself for the holidays, pretty psyched to go over and check out Battlefront.
Don't know if I'll ever get another console. I have a ps3 I used primarily for media. Most all my gaming now is done on a PC...got this laptop 3 years ago and I can run most newer games pretty well. I do use a cooling mat as it gets hot. Also, optimization is kind of critical; more popular titles are going to be more optimized so more people can play. But I was thankful I could play Fallout and GTA V and MGS5 all on decent settings with no problems with it.

Check out this game called UnderRail. You can get it for 10 bucks now (which is a real steal for this gem...steam, GoG) The price is gonna go up real soon, from what I understand.
It's been in early access for a while, but finally getting a release today (18th)

Haha awesome to see this thread still going!
..Of course like many others, I've been seduced by the glory of Wastelandmerika 4 in HD: Boston Edition.
I swear I started the game for the first time, and became a lifer.
I haven't played a lot in the last 2 weeks, but I did some settlementatifying
At the moment I'm level 55, and beat the main questline around 41 I believe..
I'm sitting at 5d 12h and 25min of playtime
I guess I'll be the first to plop my gorgeous Castle up here..
Funny you mention these, I've just recently installed them and just haven't gotten around to playing through yet

I have a couple of mods active as well- compressed vanilla textures, a simple ENB, settlement budget shiggling, 2x mini nukes size/damage, a big extended radio mod (great mod!), and 'touch of green'- which as you can see, looks great! I do have others but I either forgot what they were, or they're irrelevant..

Been playing and recording my 1st player character in Fallout 4. I'm not disappointed in the graphics on medium settings. But I did keep upgrading my video and game drivers for it though. Always felt Skyrim/Fallout's thing was being able to pick up several objects or interact with anything in your field of view. Everything in the world felt more 'handcrafted'. Not slick and linear looking like a lot of games.
Not sure what some people are expecting with this type of engine.
But Admitting, I do like some of the games flaws and will excuse them for not being par with other games.
Do hope that the DLC's coming out will bring back the more complex elements of the earlier games back. I guess

Went with a luck build on Fallout. It is so overpowered, but pretty fun. I am breezing through survivor difficulty. Particularly love banking crits, combined with the skill that randomly gives you criticals, combined again with the grim reapers sprint that refills your action points with almost half of the kills you get... Use that with a legendary weapon that uses less action points or refills action points on a critical and you are basically in god mode!
Played every Fallout game except for tactics. Love this installment, but gotta admit this one is a touch shallower in depth imo. Lotta yes/no/inconsequential character actions. Less uniqueness to the loot as well. I like when a unique item is only found in one secret place or requires some action to set off a chain of events leading up to some crazy prize. Haven't finished this one though, so maybe the story gets better?
P.S. - Do yourselves a favor and make sure you get the ability to use mysterious serum from cabot house. Makes any radiation situation completely negligible, and is very nice when you run out of inventory space and need that extra oomph that lasts for most of a dungeon crawl.

With Fallout 4, They wanted to add crafting and building, etc. But have it console friendly.
Read somewhere that Bethesda was going to rely on user feedback before creating any DLC content. I'm hoping that the DLC's for Fallout 4 will bring back the depth of the other series. I really got into character a lot better when there was more things like several dialogue choices. Also having different choices being offered or opened up from building up a character a certain way. Still want to play my New Vegas character again at some point.

It's been a while of course, but I had thought there was all that crafting crap before, just a bit different yes? I definitely remember being able to mod my guns about the same way, food/chems have become less useful and yet more common-place. No longer can you use lunchboxes or sugar bombs or whatever random piece of junk creates that cool schematic you found etc. I also liked how they made picking everything up a bit more appealing in previous games due to that aspect, and I believe you could use spare guns along the way to repair your gun or something similar. Then again, I don't mind the new set-up either. I used to spend hours in a location picking up every coffee cup etc, because I would be afraid I would miss some specific item that I needed or might need for some future schematic. Don't necessarily have to agonize over the junk loot now.
Same goes for the simplified dialogue/choice system. I used to worry about making the exact right conversation path occur for some esoteric incident to occur. Now I can just focus on fun/story to a larger extent, so good/bad reaction to that as well.
The building aspect is new, but I find micro-managing settlers/towns to be tedious and not a very enjoyable aspect. I would play minecraft if I wanted that experience. I suppose it does have its moments, but not many.

Finishing up Witcher 3 and although I'll be spending more time as a monster slayer for hire. Dragons Dogma is being released on Friday. One of my favorite rpg's from the ps3 era remastered with all dlc. Highly recommended.

I'm on BF4 for PS3 primarily, but sometimes Street Fighter.
I recently just completed my little project of getting 4 PSPs for 4 Player old school GTA. Imagine GTA3 and Vice City multiplayer! If you're a fan of the series and have friends you can play with it's a lot of fun.
My last project was getting Smackdown Here Comes The Pain for PS2. I wasn't into wrestling that much but this game is THE funniest game I've ever played with friends. On the floor laughing

Finally finished Fallout. Well, the main story anyway. I got bored and won't likely be doing the side stuff. I think when I was just able to one-shot literally every end game obstacle on survivor difficulty, it was over for me. Typical Bethesda game I guess.
Bloodborne now. Seemed harder than Dark Souls at first, but now that I have adjusted a bit, am finding it quite a bit easier. Still has the ability to make me literally sweat in terror and thrill in the sense of victory over a particularly close encounter. Only wanted to throw the controller a couple times so far.
