Romance in Fallout 4?

I must admit that I'm suprised, not only does your playable character speak he or she can also romance his or her companions. Does that remind you of another game or perhaps even multiple games? Anyway it's nice that you can do other things than explore and kill, I mean we all need some time to relax every now and then and what better way to relax than to share some virtual romance with a made up character.


How does this work?


Well I don't know the exact details but apparently you can romance one out of twelve companions and this also includes your dog and some robots. Wait...what?!!! Yes as strange as that sounds you can romance robots and your dog, but I take it that with the dog it's some type of BFF thing instead of actual romance. I also don't know how that works with the robots but who knows maybe in the future they found a solution for that, I mean I did see that movie where robots can look like humans and you can have...well enough of that! It also doesn't matter what gender you are, so your male character can romance other male characters and your female character can romance other female characters. Which is great because it gives players a lot of freedom in their choice with whom they want to spend some quality time.


Isn't this just a Dragon Age/Mass Effect rip off?


I don't see it that way, just because your character now has a voice and can romance a companion it doesn't mean that this is a Dragon Age/Mass Effect rip off. I actually applaud Bethesda for putting this in Fallout 4, because it gives a lot of people exactly what they wanted for a long time. I mean just look back at Skyrim, sure it's nice that you can marry someone but it doesn't really do more than that. If you can romance a companion and then go on an adventure together then that is a lot more interesting. I don't care if it's similar like another game, I'm pretty certain that Fallout 4 will be quite unique in its own way and some smiliarities with another game won't change that!


Do we need romance in Fallout 4?


Probably not, I mean we don't need it to finish the game or get through a difficult moment in the game. But it's just for fun, for those that want that and I bet it's completely optional so if you're not interested in that then you can just ignore that. So no you don't need it but I'm pretty certain that a lot of people are happy that Bethesda put this in Fallout 4, because a little bit of romance can make things a bit more interesting.

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
