Fallout 4's End
January 16, 2016 by Adam in Adam's Games
Well, I won the game, or at least finished the main quest line. Fallout 4 is an interesting creature - doing some parts wonderfully and failing at others. It really isn't a role playing game, but more of a story that you shoot your way through. I suppose the Bioshock games were similar, with few opportunities for choice along the way. Still, the exploration was wonderful, especially in the early parts of the game. Two thirds of the way through the game I felt pretty invulnerable, which I think is part of the design.
There were also a few too many auto-generated quests, which ended up being boring after the first couple. The irony is that during the dramatic end sequence, I got another one given to me. It was awkward.
I've got a few side quests I'll be finishing up, and then move on to Undertale, which some people absolutely adore. I've played a little of the indie pixel game, but haven't quite decided how I feel about it. In a little over a week, the next Tomb Raider game arrives, which I'm hearing good things about.

Drawful
January 10, 2016 by Adam in Adam's Games
In contrast to Fallout 4, the other game that's getting a lot of play in our house is Drawful. It's a quirky game played with phones and tablets and the computer. Basically people get a short phrase, draw it, other people type in what they think it is, and then they vote among everyone's choices. The best part is trying to interpret these crazy drawings, poorly rendered on tiny screens, and see what people come up with.

Fallout 4 and Red Dresses
January 09, 2016 by Adam in Adam's Games
It turns out that while a red dress is great for convincing others, it's not so super when it comes to battling the creatures of the wasteland.
I'm generally enjoying Fallout 4, though it's pretty light on the "roleplaying" in an RPG. The best part is really exploring a quirky post-apocalyptic world and seeing the sights. There's not that much in terms of deciding how the story turns out so far. There are some classic RPGs coming out in the months ahead, so I'll make due until then.
