I'm trying to get interested in it, but it doesn't seem like a full priced game. Maybe the reviews will change my mind. You are always welcome to come over to use my Wii U.

Well, The Division started well in both betas and was a pretty enjoyable game. But now, unless you're a hardcore gamer that can put in a few hours a day, you get left behind and the game goals become unachievable.

I'm only a casual gamer. But even friends who have reached the current end-game have said there's no real enjoyment after that point via multi-player. Just constant grinding, and that's becoming worse because they're updating it to jack up the required parts for building and modding.

This game could have been great, but has been ruined for me. Plus, I bet that even if they do improve it and fix the issues, it'll become a pay to win format. :shake:

Id say knight is a good class if aren't sure what you want. I prefer making mainly strength builds so I pick warrior.
There are too many choices. I feel like I want to experiment a bit with magic but I want to be quicker ala Bloodborne. You can change your character however you want as you level up, correct?
Well there are three types of magic; sorcery, faith, and pyromancy. Yeah when you level up you can totally change the direction of the character. Starting classes are more for directing a character but don't define it.

Can't wait to start it this weekend or sometime this week. I need to finish my play through of Uncharted 3. I haven't played it in about 4 years. Some of the set pieces are still really impressive (the cruise ship, the airplane/desert sequence).

Uncharted 3 is excellent. it's aged well.

Dark Souls 3 is fucking huge or at least it feels huge. I'm still way early in the game but I've already found a good many secrets and side areas/quests to explore that don't impact the central narrative. Some great creature designs as well. The second boss took me a long fucking time to beat.

Yeah. It was pretty good but it definitely could have been longer. That boss fight was great though.

I also bought Ratchet and Clank because for some reason I think I have plenty of time on my hands.

Haha me too. i don't think i was wearing power armor either. i rarely do unless i know i'm heading into a big fight. i didn't realize this was the boss dungeon until i was already about halfway through.

Fired up Fallout 4 last night for the first time in about five weeks. It took me half an hour just to get my bearings, take stock of my inventory, etc. But then I went to the Satellite Array and fought a bunch of supermutants.

A couple questions:

Is the supermutant armor of any use to me? I can't wear it. Should I just sell it?

There's a power armor suit at the Array, and it's only the second suit I've found in the game. Am I to understand that all suits are the same, and the modded pieces are transferrable from one suit to another?

It might have useful or rare components (like ballistic material, for example) if you scrap it or put it in your workshop. I actually wasn't aware you couldn't wear it yourself. I guess i just hadn't tried. You could also save it to give to Strong if you have him as a companion. I would assume he could wear it.

The underlying frames are identical as far as I know. I keep one with each suit of power armor attached to it in my home base, but i suppose you could just store all the pieces and attach to a single frame as needed if you were concerned about space or something.

The armor/clothing upgrading and equipping system is not explained well in Fallout 4.

Ha, it's not explained at all. It's a double-edged sword -- it's nice to not have to mess around with tutorials, but there's also a LOT you have to figure out on your own.
