Though Fallout creator Tim Cain has not been involved in the series in over 20 years, he still keeps up with the franchise. Case in point, he recently shared his thoughts on the first season of Prime Video's Fallout TV series. In a new video posted on his YouTube channel, Cain spent nearly 13 minutes discussing his thoughts and impressions on the show's first season. Right at the top, he says he likes the show before going on to "ramble" more about the specifics, including why he likes it so much. "Everything feels like Fallout. It feels like Fallout," he says. "That is hard to do, trust me. I know how hard that is to do. It's easy to write post-apocalyptic stuff that doesn't fit in the Fallout mold, and it would have been very easy for them to go off to be too silly accidentally, to have things that are like, 'that's not part of Fallout.' But they didn't." Cain also loved how much Fallout lore was present in the show, even admitting he missed a few things during his viewing. He appreciated that the show never added a narrator to explain everything to viewers, but noted that the lack of exposition and amount of lore drops might make it "a little ******* to get into" for those who haven't played the post-apocalyptic action RPG series. He also praised the Prime Video series for its trio of main characters. Each, as he pointed out, "felt like different ways that a player character could be approaching the game." Lucy represents the "nice character," the player with high ethical standards. Maximus, meanwhile, represents a more neutral player, one focused on achieving their goals. The Ghoul, he said, serves the role of "the show's ******* *****," likely referring to the players who ****** first and ask questions later. Cain went on to share his thoughts about the potential timeline issues presented in the series before the show's executive producers, Jonathan Nolan, and Todd Howard, cleared the air. This is the second video Cain has published sharing his impressions on the Fallout TV series, following a video he uploaded roughly a week ago after attending the first season's Hollywood premiere. Cain created the series when he was employed at Interplay Entertainment, where he served in various roles, primarily as a designer for the first two Fallout games. However, Cain has not been directly involved in any of the games since Fallout 2. He has shared some Fallout-centric videos on his YouTube channel. Some videos include him explaining cut content from the original Fallout, the biggest influences on the series, and why he left Fallout 2 early into its development cycle. While he largely doesn't publicly share his thoughts on newer games, he did offer some about Fallout 3 during a 2010 interview. The Fallout TV series' first season premiered a little over a week ago and has been a huge success for Prime Video. Alongside the Fallout games seeing a surge in player count, it was no surprise that Prime Video renewed the show for a second season.

Image: Nintendo If you’re the kind of Mario Kart 8 player who cares about winning and not just playing their favorite characters (Daisy and Peach supremacy), choosing the best combination of driver, vehicle, and wheels gets tricky. Luckily, thanks to data science and 19th-century Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, there’s a way to figure that out. Data scientist Antoine Mayerowitz applies one of Pareto’s principles, the Pareto front, to plot the best combination among the 703,560 possible decisions players must make in Mario Kart. Eurogamer helpfully explains that a Pareto front finds the best possible solution to a problem with different objectives. In a cool piece of data visualization you should definitely check out, Mayerowitz narrows down the... Continue reading… View the full article

Image: Supergiant Games Imagine the most perfect barbecue — a prolific spread of smoked meats, all the right sides, every pie, type of cookie or cake, and even your grandmother’s famous dinner rolls. But there’s a catch: most of the food is kept behind glass to be unlocked at a later date, and you are starving. That’s what it’s like playing the Hades 2 technical test. Spoilers for the Hades 2 technical test. Hades 2, like its predecessor, is a roguelike. You play as Melinoë, the long-lost daughter of Hades and sister of Zagreus, the first game’s protagonist. Unlike her brother, Melinoë isn’t trying to break out of *****. Instead, she’s trying to break into it as Chronos, Titan of Time, has taken over, kidnapping Melinoë’s mother, brother, and father.

Like most ARPGs, weapons play a large role in them. In No Rest for the Wicked, this is very much the truth. Interestingly though, weapons do have durability and need to be fixed. That adds another element of immersion to the game. However, what can take you out of the immersion is that many things aren’t explained well. For example, there are bows you can get in the game, and it’s quite puzzling how they work. To learn how to use the bow in No Rest for the Wicked, we have your back.No Rest for the Wicked: How to use the bowNormally, in ARPGs, if you equip a range ******* like the bow to your primary ******* slot (provided you are the class that uses the bow), it works automatically. For one reason or another, like finding a shovel, using ranged weapons will have you going through some hoops in No Rest for the Wicked. The first thing you should do is if you have a bow, place it in your secondary ******* slot. It still won’t work if you equip it. Fo...View the full article

Helldivers 2 is filled with a variety of fun weapons for eliminating enemies of Super Earth, but some powerful options are still needed. Helldivers 2 has been one of the most popular and successful games of 2024, with its chaotic gameplay being a large part of that. The overarching power fantasy created by the multitude of weapons and destructive Stratagem choices makes every mission feel exciting while still being unique.

Enlarge / Like the Beach Properties DLC itself, this property looks a bit unfinished and in need of some focus. (credit: Paradox Interactive) [/url] Perhaps the first clue that something was not quite right about Beach Properties, the first $10 DLC "expansion" for the already off-kilter city-building sim Cities: Skylines 2, was that it did not contain a real beach house, which one might consider a key beach property. The oversight seemed indicative of a content pack that lacked for content. C:S2's developers and publisher now agree and have published a letter to Cities fans, in which they offer apologies, updates, and refunds. Beach Properties is now a free add-on, individual buyers will be refunded (with details at a FAQ page), and Ultimate Edition owners will receive additional Creator Packs and Radio Stations, since partial refunds are tricky across different game stores. "We thought we could make up for the shortcomings of the game in a timeframe that was unrealistic, and rushed out a DLC that should not have been published in its current form. For all this, we are truly sorry," reads the letter, signed by the CEOs of developer Colossal Order and publisher Paradox Interactive. "When we’ve made statements like this one before, it’s included a pledge to keep making improvements, and while we are working on these updates, they haven’t happened at a speed or magnitude that is acceptable, and it pains us that we've now lost the trust of many of you. We want to do better." Read 4 remaining paragraphs | Comments View the full article
