I remember how bored I was playing FO3, especially the combat. Then I hunted down some guns that were accurate (i.e. no drift) and some lucky shades and some bobbleheads to improve my stats, especially luck and things suddenly got a lot more fun. So much so I played through all the DLCs and also played loads of New Vegas. I started Fallout 4 at some point, made it to Sanctuary and did some base building but then just went "meh" on it and haven't played since. I think I'll try to find the time for playing through FO4 this summer. > See? Only three games. I feel so ashamed. I'll try to play more games > next month, honest. So say we all :) > Anyway, that's me. What about you? > > What Have You Been Playing... IN MAY 2017? Really just Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Specifically, the other story DLC "A Criminal Past". I haven't quite finished it even once but it's a fairly interesting add-on. At the start you don't even have access to your augmentations so it's a nice if short build-up to your final form. I guess it's possible to do everything without getting augmentations but I think it's enough if I can do a non-lethal playthrough. I guess the other extreme would be that every is dead by the time I leave the prison where this takes place but I doube I'll try that alternative. DX:MD gameplay is still as solid as ever. Too bad the franchise seems to have gone into hibernation again.
