It's always crazy to see a mod like this where it's basically a whole new game with the production quality to match. Even this release announcement is pretty impressive for a mod.

That being said, this makes me think: If we can get Fallout London, what about Fallout London, Ontario?

I like the bottom-right the most, but I feel like top-right and bottom-left are what I would most associate with being a default desktop wallpaper.

Sounds like in Bethesda's case it's a vain corporate attempt to manage the games reputation. Having a mixed rating definitely hurts their sales; it gives you pause before deciding to spend $90 on a game. You'd hope that the next step for them would be to retrospect on why people are finding the game meh, but that rarely seems to happen.

"Am I out of touch? No, it's the players who should enjoy landing on an empty planet."

If steam were owned by anyone other than Valve (not to say they're perfect), I'd be expecting reviews to soon go the same way that dislikes did on YouTube for similar nonsensical reasons.

I wouldn't say it has. I don't buy too much these days anyways as I already have a backlog, and there's so much out there that I tend to buy things on sale that have been out for a while.

I'm willing to buy a higher-priced game or DLC on release, but it better be damned good. I'll wait a bit before buying to at least ensure that it's playable on day one.

When I first saw it I was put off, but thinking about it once you cook it it will probably look less rotten and taste pretty good.
