Corpse Run 568: Please remain seated
Fallout 4 has been pretty fine so far, fun game to look at and the ambient music has set the tone nicely. I’m glad that weapons and armor don’t degrade with use this time around, although it kind of makes carrying more stuff a little less useful.
If there’s anything that has really annoyed me it’s the subject matter of the above strip. Why can’t I wait without sitting down?
…
…if I’m required to sit in order to wait, why couldn’t I just sit on the ground?
The concept of needing to find a chair in order to advance time is beyond silly and intrudes on the flow of the game. I hope they patch that out but have doubts that’ll happen.
Also, watched Mad Max Fury Road this weekend, holy heck that movie is amazing. Great performances amid a wildly gorgeous movie that has possibly the greatest “storytelling to dialogue ratio” for any non-silent film ever made.
I’m definitely late to the game on this one, but if you haven’t seen it you must. It’s absolutely superb!
In other news, I passed out eating cookies most of the weekend. That was fun.
I think it due to how limited the controls on the controllers are.
I can understand that it may annoy some people that you can’t sit and wait around. But in over the 30+ hours that I’ve played the game so far I’ve only waited on a chair to see if that was the way to do it. I don’t feel like its intruded on the flow of play and besides if you want to pass time its more beneficial to rest in a bed since you get a well rested XP bonus.
Dude, have you seen the Wasteland? Anything that lives is either extremely aggressive, actively venomous, or symbiotically radioactive.
I sit down on the ground today and I’ll get ants biting my ass; if I sit down in the Wasteland, I’m probably leaving quite a bit if skin behind.
I never realized there was a wait feature in fallout 4, I always just crashed in a bed. As for Mad Max, it was fantastic and definitely did not suffer the “sequel” syndrome of being worst than the first.
I’m actually fine with the having to sit or sleep to wait.
Like 5pikey said, I won’t sit my ass on the ground out in the wastes
And who just stands still for hours?
It’s a quality of life loss compared to previous releases, but… I mean… it makes a bit of sense. At least as much as things can in the world of Fall Out
It reminds me a bit of the annoying level up mechanics in Morrowind/Oblivion where you had to sleep to level up…
