The Last Bastion

Because it's an awesome game.

It just feels so REAL, like the world you're in is actually there, and the people there actually matter. In fact, they seemed so realistic that I couldn't bring myself to rob them, kill them all , or enslave them (Yes you can enslave people, you get 250 caps per person [the denizens of the Capitol Wasteland use bottlecaps as currency]), even though I had planned to play an evil character. It just felt like I was killing an actual person almost, and not just a character in a game. Largely because of the awesome voice acting, and the fact that the characters actually ACT like real people. They'll say "fucK", they'll scream about not wanting to die if they run away, hell they even have sex (Though only when you're not looking), and you can hire a prostitute at one part (Again it doesn't show you having sex, she just lays down on the bed in your hotel room and it's kind of assumed that you fucked when you "go to sleep").

Of course it's not just the people, the weapons and enemies and everything feel far more "real" than in almost any other game I've ever played. The AI is intelligent, guns, bombs etc. fire fairly realistically, actually need repair and maintenance (And you have to get parts from another gun to repair them), and will blow the pieces off of enemies if you hit them in the right spots. You can get your arms and legs broken, or get a concussion (Broken arms lead to lowered accuracy, legs reduce speed, concussion causes your character's vision to occasionally blur or black out, and also seems to reduce accuracy), as well as breaking your enemies' limbs.

And you can beat robots to death with sledgehammers. Which is the most awesome thing to happen in a game ever.

I'm so metal that I convinced Eden to blow up the Enclave. :O

Processing...

I...I'm not sure how to proceed from here...

...new course of action decided. Self-destruct sequence initialised. Advise that civilian remove hazardous FEV material to prevent explosive decompression. Also advise that civilian vacate the premises immediately.

Turns out Bethesda is fucking over PS3 users AGAIN on the DLC.

I'm never buying anything they make again. Ever.

Should have bought a 360.

I hear Home is a piece of shit, too.

I wanted a system that doesn't break.

Of course they'll probably end up sending it over anyway, almost nothing stays exclusive anymore. They said that Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine would be 360 exclusive, but I distinctly remember beating the living shit out of both of them on my PS3.

If I was under the impression that I had bought a faulty console, I would go and get my £180 back.

It's likely that you'll get the DLC at some point; it's premium, so there's a buck to be made as far as Bethesda is concerned. At least we've all got the 1.1 patch, so NPCs don't randomly die anymore. >,>

You forget that I got mine last year when they still had a 9001% failure rate. Not that they don't still break more than other consoles, but I WOULD feel comfortable buying one at this point. If FFXIII VS and Resistance and Uncharted and Disgaea 3 weren't so sexy.

But yeah, I guess I'll see a few months after everyone else. Or they'll throw it in the GotY edition or something. And since I"ve got plenty of games that I haven't finished that I can play until then, I suppose I'll be fine.

BTW only need to... complete Reilly's Rangers, complete Tenpenny Tower (Fucked up and couldn't complete the quest), kill two Behemoths, complete 50 speach challenges, make all the custom weapons, run a neutral character, and find 4 moar bobble heads and I has all trophies.

That's crazy hard. D:
Harder than fighting Behemoths.

I don't doubt it. Guess I'll just go for whatever doesn't change Karma as much as possible.

EVERYTHING changes karma. D:
