A gamer explores the depiction of homosexuality in Fable 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
Getting free games is never a bad thing and Amazon Luna has new offerings for Fallout fans looking for free adventures in the Wasteland.
We're still long off in seeing a gay protagonist in a video game. You might see it in PC games, but not in console games. Kudos to Lionhead to not shy away from adding homosexuality in Fable 3 and not just be a joke like GTA4.
no offense, but putting "gay" and "lip-service" in the same sentece could put a very disgusting image in one's head...bleh
I was always a little offended that Mass Effect 1 and 2 omitted a homosexual couple(The whole Lesbian thing was a cop out because everyone knows lesbians are generally more accepted in society than gay men and it was a "A" sexual alien anyway). Dragon Age, Fallout New Vegas, and Fable III all allow gay relationships, why didn't mass effect? It almost feels like they are saying gays won't exist in the future when the general consensus is that sexuality becomes a nonexistant issue in the future(according to many sources of media that is).
I am just hoping now that this issue has been revealed to them, Bioware will reward me with a love interest or something as I remained a bachelor through previous entries.
I know that I'm going to come across as a bigot here, but I really do believe that homosexuality (I don't mean a character, I'm talking about exploring it properly) into every game is going to seriously detract from the experience.
Although homosexuality is perfectly acceptable and nothing to be ashamed about, it is an unnatural state for most of us and as such, it is a subject that can never have the same casual approach that straight relationships have.
I know that this is upsetting to anyone who is gay, but it is sadly the reality.
