Couldn't disagree more. The visual element of the prequels was one of the biggest let downs. Far too much CGI, something that was acknowledged and rectified for the new series.

Yep, those ship battles and Falcon chases looked so real.

I haven't seen anything to back up that claim yet. The presence of CGI in the prequels is overstated.

People bitch about trade week being too long, but if we have to put up with this level of Star Wars bullshit until December I may neck myself

What claim? The use of actual puppets and models in the new series? There's shit loads of evidence.
The overuse of CGI in the prequels? I'm pretty sure even Lucas has bemoaned it.

In episodes 1 and 2 they built the entire tatooine sets and in 3 the entire interior of the ship where Anakin fights Dooku, not the mention the Naboo sets and minitures.


The character and troopers though, yes, that was too much.

Anyone try to make a particular character to role-play as in RPGs ie Fallout instead of just builing a character with the bestest stats?

I'm thinking about it since Trewth has awared me of this site
http://vault111.com/character/

Usually I'll just go down the charisma path with perception a second top stat for my leader+sniper character. But the two don't really go together.

However my other idea of a 'genius recluse' (+intelligence, perception, -charisma, strength) falls flat for F4 as the character has a good looking spouse by default.

Maybe I'll do a Boon and just be an arseh*le sniper. Which makes sense as the main character's spouse and kid are (presumably) dead at the start of the game.

Stupid stupid Jumbo, decide to get away from foxtel and watch the channel 7 news then greeted in order of appearance of Gail Gaggo, Pokies Nick and Tom Koutsantonis, ffs back to re-runs of Mash or Deadliest catch for me.

If 4 is going the New Vegas route speech and charisma are alot more useful as it actually gives alternate solutions.
If its more like 3 than speech/charisma does sweet FA as its more a shooter.

I usually just invest all points in to ballistic guns over energy, then use perks to max DPS.
The only other stats I boost are sneak for Sneak attack criticals.

Sniping is good but only if it gives plenty of opportunities to use it, you may be spending a lot of time inside were close range weapons are better.

On a second playthrough I usually go for the complete idiot with high melee and unarmed skill and bludgeon everything.

Haha i remember right at the start of mass effect 1 when there is that doctor who is freaking out and shephard can say "LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE NEEDS A PUNCH IN THE THROAT"

...then you can KO him to which kaiden says "don't you think that was a little harsh?" To which you can simply reply "he had it coming."

I went down a speech craft path in skyrim...

You can do it you just need a good follower and buffing magic as well as debilitating magic to buy time...was fun for something different

I liked the part where mace windu rubs shoulders with wedge antilles.

George Lucas' dress sense, posture and affect also resembles the guy who plays Pablo Escobar in Narcos

Holy shit that's a cracker of an observation.
Bang.

O.M.G. 20 DAYS TO FALLOUT 4.

I keep checking my EB Games account, i know that somehow they are going to **** me over with the collectors edition, they have been known to silently cancel pre-orders.

One thing i am amazed at is Bethesda announced F4 back in early june, said it was going to release November and actually stick to the release, half of the games these days get delayed for one reason or another.

Most games delay due to bugs needing to be fixed.
Beth games, the bugs are entertaining

If the New Star Wars sucks we'll get another Plinkett review. Here's hoping.

When they are just glitches and not game breaking bugs, i thought i would fire up Fallout 3, did the new PC fix and played for about half an hour and it crashed, it was the same with New Vegas.

I just hope that Bethesda has actually put some work into the PC version and not a slapdash port like previous Beth games.

Your game didn't crash, your character just had a heart attack and died.

It's a feature
