Short version is: if you felt that Fallout 4 has been, up to now, a bit less sarcastic and parodic than you remembered from the previous games, Nuka World will scratch that itch. I enjoyed it, although I didn’t really play it the way it was designed. I’m unapologetic about that, too. Continue reading My Mini- and Unapologetically Incomplete Review of Nuka World.

New Perks from Nuka World!
I don’t agree with all of the analysis, but I didn’t realize that they added perks to Fallout 4 with Nuka World. It’s interesting, but mind the language.
Did HBO’s new Westworld rip off Fallout 4 imagery?
There’s a scene from the latest trailer that is remarkably evocative of how the Institute makes synths. Starts at 0:54; I dunno whether Westworld grabbed that from Fallout 4, or whether they both grabbed from a third source. Could be either, I guess.
But, seriously, here’s the clip from Fallout 4. It’s not identical, but it looks pretty dang similar.
Bethesda [/ThinkGeek] to sell Bluetooth-enabled Pip-Boy for $350.
[UPDATE: It was pointed out to me on Twitter that ThinkGeek is the actual manufacturer.]
This price is maybe a little less obnoxious than it looks at first glance: this Pip-Boy isn’t a glorified phone case. It’s something that syncs to your Bluetooth-enabled phone or tablet and lets you use it via proxy. Which is admittedly kind of cool:
…and also explains the price. A little. They still know darn well that enough Fallout 4 fans with sufficient disposable income will buy these things at that price point.
I don’t think Fallout 4’s getting mods for the PS4 any time soon.
It just seems really unlikely at this point:
…PS4 players continue to wait for mods to arrive on the console, and there’s still no release date. Bethesda marketing executive Pete Hines said the PS4 mods program is currently under “evaluation” and doesn’t have a day for when it will be ready to go.
I’m not going to pretend that I have the slightest idea what the problems supposedly are, how to fix them, or what’s stopping those problems from being fixed. I am going to say that at this point I don’t know how many Playstation 4 people are going to care if Fallout 4 (MAD SUPER SALE THERE, FOLKS) gets mod support on it. That ship may have sailed.
I’m not sure that I believe in a Fallout: New Orleans game…
…but I’d certainly play it. It’s one of those games where you’re going to be chugging Rad-X until you can get your radiation resistance up (all that standing water), sure; but it’s got lots of potential. Not to mention a way to segue into some out and out supernatural horror; they hinted at it a bit in Fallout 4* (New England is Lovecraft county, after all), but more wouldn’t hurt. Swamp monsters and voodoo: works for me.
*Nice deal on the physical PC disk right now, by the way.
The Inevitable Fallout 4: Nuka World trailer.
OK, this looks like it should be entertaining. Even if I have no intention of leading Raider parties against anybody except other Raider parties because I’m apparently here to civilize these sav… ah, ‘outlanders,’ dammit. Sorry, but the Boomers were kind of hysterical, in their way.
So, some of the Fallout 4 mods I’m using.
I remember doing this for Skyrim, and, hey: some of these may even be on Bethesda’s own mod page. Which I’m sure is very good. I mean, I’m a loyal Nexus man, but that’s just personal taste.
Anyway, in no particular order: Continue reading So, some of the Fallout 4 mods I’m using.
Oh, wow, the Vault-Tec DLC dropped already!
I was expecting it to drop at midnight. Actually, to be honest: I expected it to drop a couple of days from now, because it’s been a surreal few days around here and I forgot that today was Monday. The days just blur together when the kids aren’t in school and you’re no longer following the news…
Anyway, the Vault-Tec DLC is up! Gonna download it, finish my posts for the night, then fire that sucker up.
I may need to play out this scenario at some point.
It looks interesting.
