Xbox One, through its clunky Upload Studio used to share screenshots and video. Read more
The new Xbox dashboard? No, not yet. Read more
What are you playing on? It took me 20 minutes or so to install on my Xbox, maybe a little more. I watched all those S.P.E.C.I.A.L. videos, and then they started looping. Read more
Three bounced off me a little at the start, in the same way that this game did. I’m glad I had to power through to write these impressions for Kotaku, because it’s been worth it. But if I wasn’t getting paid? I wonder. It will depend how rewarding the next 20 hours (or more) are. Read more
Acceptable. Not amazing. I haven’t played the male lead. Read more
The ammo feels scarce-ish. At the moment, I just finished a big quest and I don’t have ammo for my favorite guns, and I had to scavenge good ammo from the enemies I killed on the way through it. I have recovered, on a couple of occasions, a modded weapon used by an enemy, but it’s an unusual reward. Read more
I also talk to Evan Narcisse about Rise of the Tomb Raider: http://shallweshow.com/2015/11/fallou… Read more
I have no personal experience with it. My podcast co-host, JJ Sutherland, has been playing PC and has no complaints so far. Read more
I haven’t noticed any significant issues. I’m not a framerate obsessive, though. Read more
I’ve spent a lot of time reading terminals and nosing around. One of the things that surprised me was how few great little small stories I have stumbled across. I did get killed by a Deathclaw and then, the next time I approached, learned that I could activate four robots from a terminal to head out and kill it for… Read more
We just posted a new podcast, too, and my co-host is a Fallout obsessive, and has also spent about 20 hours in the game, and he loves it. He also thought the game started slow and that it’s a mistake to go take down that factory/warehouse, which he also did. I just think the placement of that quest, early in the game,… Read more
There is a surgeon you can go visit to change your looks for a fee. I haven’t tried it. There’s also a barber who will give you a new haircut and color. It would interesting if you could change your gender. I’ll try to find out! Read more
Silence, my brother. (This is the last challenge of this sort I will accept. But I'm lurking.) Read more
If you know of one who has played through all of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, as Whitaker has, I’m all ears. His credentials are not merely his expertise in British history but also his expertise in video games. Read more
You’re right; my mistake! I deleted the “nine.” So it’s nine years since the articles, seven years since the hype dissipated entirely. That’s what I’m excited to learn: Is the game fun now that the expectations have dropped, now that I can focus on the game itself and not the hype that surrounded it? Read more
Yes, of course. That’s why I wrote that article. I wouldn’t use it unless I needed it. But anyone who has experienced a corrupt save file would know the importance of granting that ability to players who want to use it. I trust the player! And people who want to play the wrong way from the start would have no effect… Read more
The first mission is horrible. I thought about mentioning that. Read more
This game! Read more
I should have said that I didn’t play Rogue. Lord Commander Totilo says it is excellent, so I’m curious to see how he thinks it compares. I liked Black Flag, though perhaps not as much as some. I liked this better. Read more
