Um...no, the game outright establishes that the Legion-dominated lands are a complete shithole, which it forgets every time it tries to pretend otherwise.
And for all the game tries to paint the NCR as flawed and corrupt, it's the only ending that can get good outcomes for every group in the game, the only faction that can bring actual peace and prosperity to the Mojave.
There is absolutely no depth to the choice. You either choose the stuck-up dictator, delusions of liberty and self-reliance, the psychotic hordes of the Legion, or the only people capable of actually protecting and improving everyone's lives. And that last one happens to have far more content than the other paths...and still 80% of those first two choices are identical to the NCR path.
Mitsu said:Bladestorm: Nightmare. A good game, if not top shelf. It's a remaster of Bladestorm, which adds a fantasy element and overhauls some of the graphics. Out of all of the remasters out there, this is probably the one with the most bang for you buck. It not only improves the original game, but also adds an entirely new mode. However, it's marred with technical issues, and the PC port isn't exactly well done.

I started to feel the creeping claws of Kojima in my brain when I was laying behind a tiny rock in a ditch with my finger on the detonator of my roadside bomb as I waited for enemy armor to pass by. In Afghanistan, no less. Fun game, but feels incomplete, even at 25%.

I played the original, and even though I thought everything in it was awful, I enjoyed it. It was one of those addicting games that you enjoy even though it fails in every single aspect of game design. So naturally I got Nightmare thinking that it would fix the game where it lacked but I found that it wasn't the case. Yes, the battles against the demons were interesting and lengthy, but the game was still too easy. A fully powered cavalry unit or spear unit can pretty much break the game, especially now that they added more levels. I mean.. I barely used any items or flags or anything. Other sides of the game still lacked, shallow story and repetitive missions, horrible voice acting, etc..
I've recently started playing Arkham Knight. The game is gradually getting better which is nice because the beginning was a bit mediocre. I dislike how they changed some of the controls, the gliding dynamics and force you to use the batmobile during most of the game. It took me a while to get used to it but I'm rather enjoying it now and I like the how story is unfolding. I'm still in the beginning I think, I've only recently got to Two-face. I doubt it is going to beat Arkham City, but it is a good game worth its price nonetheless.
