  1. New Fallout 3 screen - mommy, my head is cripplied!

    I know, they're the fucking Stones after Jagger and Richards have died. But still - y'know?

  2. New Fallout 3 screen - mommy, my head is cripplied!

    These guys made Daggerfall. Fucking Daggerfall. Damn man. Let the motherfucking badtimes roll.

  3. Fable 2 hype machine claims another victim

    Just about no chance I'd say. Honestly I haven't read anything about Fable 2 other than what is here as it is not a game really on my radar, but a step back might not be a such a bad idea for him. If it means it will actually make it into the game. The example given originally would be a step...

  4. Fable 2 hype machine claims another victim

    Populous was a great game. Fuck, still is. And even in B and W (the most disappointing game I have ever bought) he did a lot of really cool shit that I would like to see more often (the GUI and mouse use in B and W for example). But as of late (say the last ten or so years) his games are great...

  5. Fable 2 hype machine claims another victim

    Yup sounds great. Molyneaux's games always sound great and are full to brimming with "o man that is gonna be sweet!" ideas. Then of course you buy one, install and play it and realize that all those great ideas never materialized. It is hard not to get swept up by his PR - he does have some...

  6. Some musings on my objection.

    For sheer impact value nothing can best FO1's text when you leave the vault and hit the wastes. "For the first time in your life..." No graphic is gonna do that justice.

  7. A conversation about death

    Which is fun exactly once. Then it becomes just a very tedious version of load/reload. Absolutely. There is a difference between a game wherein life is cheap and you'd best watch your step and the game is cheap and you'd better figure how to play it. I found the mechanics of the GTA games...

  8. A conversation about death

    Granted the Prey/Bioshock route is *not* the solution and a cure worse than the disease. And given the alternative I'll take the Doom scenario - neither remains very good tho, just degrees of crappy. Again, granted :) .

  9. Interview See Pete Hines! Fallout 3 video interview.

    Murrow for the Godwin and the score. What the fuck does anyone expect anymore from any PR hack, much less the guys ruining Fallout? Horseshit is what they fucking do. Spin, bullshit and offer overblown promises and false expectactions. It is in the job description. I think the...

  10. A conversation about death

    What the hell is fun about quicksaving/loading because instant death lurks everywhere? "Fuck died - reload" "Didn't like how that fight went - reload". Death becomes absolutlely meaningless, without consequence or penalty. Not unlike DnD games where if you don't feel like reloading you can...

  11. Videogame soundtracks

    Mafia.

  12. What would an "innovative" RPG look like?

    Either you have never played JA2, you are trolling, you are a monumental dumbass or you don't know what "imnmersive" means but you've heard people mention that it is important so you thought you should use the word more and complain that "game x is not immersive". I'll take the sampler platter...

  13. What would make a good non-magic cRPG setting?

    Pulp comic rpg-like see Freedom Force. More tac combat than rpg but it is a good damn game (the backstories/creation stories alone are worth the price of admission). Second the gangster rpg. Would love to see this. I always the thought the setting of gangsters circa 1930s-1950s would have...

  14. How's Thief 3?

    Had I never played 1 or 2 I probably would have enjoyed 3 more. It is still pretty good and I like Garrett as a character so that further redeems it, but as mentioned it does suffer a bit from being a console game. And it seems to me that the AI is *far* worse than before. There are entiire...

  15. Wiz 8 Powercast question

    Does powercast (the skill you get with a 100 in INT) apply to bards' music as well?
