Massacre

Thanks to Amazon's Deal of the Day and a gift card that I've left collecting dust for a year, I've just snagged Syndicate for $7.

An open-world rpg is automatically better than most games of any other genre. Exceptions are present, but rare.

We need an adversary creator. These adversary modes are doing the kind of things I always wanted to do with my deathmatches.

My only regret with the Asylum MC crew is suggesting San Andreas for the bottom rocker, instead of Nomad, or skipping the bottom rocker altogether. I guess it doesn't matter much, since Rockstar doesn't give a single fuck about story mode. It'll be the better part of a decade before we see another city, and I'm anticipating San Fierro, anyway. Las Venturas is excluded because it's DLC material, and Rockstar has no soul anymore.

Well, shit.

Go-to trick to resolve unwarranted hostility is to fast travel far away and wait for three days. In the case of the Cabot House, you have to communicate with them via the intercom outside before entering.

Seems like once you encounter a vendor, they don't stray far from where you found them. Cricket, the gun vendor, drifts between the outskirts of Diamond City and the Vault 81 entrance, the armor vendor rarely leaves Tenpines Bluff, and Trashcan Carla is a nigh-permanent resident of Sanctuary Hills, now.

There's a "quote" button that puts the post you're replying to in your reply. I have no idea who or what you're replying to. Edit: Aaaaaand they're gone.

That actually looks pretty fun. And is a total ripoff of iGTA soccer.

GTAGRL'S GETTING LAID TONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT

It is. And it was even better than in Fallout 3. I hope that when the time comes for DLC, they expand on this story in the same way that the side quest in Point Lookout expanded on their story in 3.

Just discovered Dunwich Borers. Here's hoping it's as good as it was in Fallout 3.

Anyone else sporting (or even acquired) the Minutemen General's uniform? Enough armor for me to be able to put my shadowed leather set away, and damned stylish, to boot. My full ensemble is the uniform, a pair of welding goggles, and the Ronin hairstyle and doomsday prepped beard. I think it makes me look like a post-apocalyptic pirate. My weapons loadout consists of: Fate, a suppressed .50 cal hunting rifle with long-range scope. Fortune, a combat knife with stealth blade (bonus sneak attack and bleeding damage). Fury, a .44 magnum with bull barrel. Considering going full pirate mode and replacing my knife with a revolutionary sword.

You can adjust the camera's distance from your character by holding the touchpad (not sure about PC/XB1) and moving the right analog stick.

The game isn't perfect, but there's no way it isn't game of the year. Witcher 3 was good, but it doesn't even come close to Fallout 4. The only other contender is MGSV, and MGS has always been painfully overrated, and the series mostly relies on its loyal fanbase, rather than actually doing anything new or interesting. V is no different.

To make your companion ignore the loot limit, just drop the loot and tell them to pick it up.

I filled a random house in Sanctuary with strobe lights, mirror balls, and other things of that nature. A single house in my town, holding a rave fueled by Bing Crosby.

Gimmick giveaway tees are always black or white, in the real world. Rockstar's just being realistic (read: lazy).

Build a generator and radio beacon (Resources>Miscellaneous). Make sure you flip the switch so the light on the beacon is green. Preston gave me a quest to clean it out and build a beacon, though, so you might want to wait a while. He regularly gives me quests to start new settlements.

Switches only work for a certain distance. Throw another one in a spot where the lights don't work, and run a wire to it.

PSA: Dogmeat can wear welding goggles. It looks incredible.

The outfit is next to the roof access. The axe is directly behind the counter on the ground floor, in a display case. If I remember correctly, it isn't even locked.

Yeah, I went in for Grognak's Axe. I did not realize that it was five floors of loot and death.

How do I start the Silver Shroud quests? This shit is taking up valuable inventory weight.

45 hours in, and I still haven't set foot in Diamond City.
