Van Buren/FO3 good news

[Crazy Tuvok]

on the IPLY boards Josh has confirmed that they are making it as an M-rated game.
I admit to being a little surprised, but pleasantly so

well I for one think this is good news

 

[Volourn]

Good. Can't get enough of th sex, and swearing. :twisted:

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Amen.

 

[Crazy Tuvok]

Good. Can't get enough of th sex, and swearing. :twisted:

of course this true no matter what one is discussing with the possible exception of prison.

 

[Psilon]

You're forgetting the other critical part (pun intended) of Fallout: Bloody Mess!

Josh seems to be listening to the fans...at least where it doesn't really matter so much. Now if he could only get his head out of real time combat's stinky, swollen ass, he could make some substantial moves toward a FO3 that Might Not Completely Suxor.

not trying to be an apologist for JE, but I doubt very much that he had any say whatsoever in the decision to include rt. In fact he probably had to fight like hell to get tb in there at all.

also I think the decision to go with an M rating is more than trivial.

edit: because I am a moron

JE seems to be doing OK with FO3, the RT ombat is the only thing so far that I just think shouldn't be in there, admittedly that's a big thing. But I think he has said that saying to the executives, 'we can only do one combat style', they'd make him do RT. Why, I don't know, seeing as most console RPGs are TB and do very well, as well as ToEE.

because execs, no matter the industry or profession are always clueless fucking morons who get a kick out of ruining things for people.
this is especially true if they happen to work at IPLY

That's called "synergy."

 

[Spazmo]

Nah. Try 'dynamic synergy'.

 

[Kanthiat]

Well, real time combat didn't save IWD2's sales. In fact, there's many CRPGs out there with real time combat, and many of them don't sell well at all. I think it's about time that more and more publishers decide to get off the whole FEATURE X FROM GAME Y = MEGA MEGA BLING BLING CHA-CHING kick, because people will only keep buying the same thing over and over again before they want something new.

There are a lot of turn based CRPGs in the works commercially right now, ToEE.. Golden Land.. Paradise Cracked..

 

[Spazmo]

And on that note, I'd love to see some sales figures for Shadows of Undrentide and see if the bad word of mouth NWN has been getting has finally caught up with BioWare. Pretty much everyone admits the OC stinks (although we're still waiting on official retractions from the major publications), and the engine is aging.

 

[Kanthiat]

i wish thy would make them to, and i would have to agree, the game play seems so OAP

 

[Volourn]

SOU has been a top seller since it came out.

And, there's no need to retract NWN's high reveiws. Not as long as horrible rpgs games like IWD2, MW, DS, and DD have been getting pretty high marks.

 

[Voss]

Should have punishments for reviewers.

Every outright lie loses a finger...
Glossing over the bad points... forced to eat broken glass
Not finishing the game-- forced to watch a 24 hour marathon of Barney and Friends
Excessive use of hyperbole...crucified outside the publication's offices so that passing gamers can throw darts at him.

 

[Volourn]

:D

 

[Sol Invictus]

I'd watch Friends, though. Even if it was on a 24 hour marathon. The only thing that would kill me would be the ads. Friends is, after all, a 17 minute show with 13 minutes of ads. I hate that.

 

[Anonymous]

Force them to watch non-stop tapes of live boyband concerts or something.

 

[Voss]

There needs to be some limit on torture.

 

[chrisbeddoes]

Yes there will be a fully viable sex boy path !!!!

Oh no it was actually a fully viable science boy path .

But what about a fully viable learning the postapocalyptic culture path ?


Ehhh ?

I assume he meant "Barney and Friends," not "Barney" and "Friends."

 

[Kanthiat]

no, there is only one way to go about this, u must make them go insane by having them study paradox's for 10 hours straight. after then it's pretty much stuck in your head, and you will never find a solution.

Like the one about a man who builds a time travelling machine but then a different man in the future uses the machine to kill its inventor before he invents it. What will happen?

It might create a parallel universe.
Or maybe it's only possible to 'time travel' into the future.
Or maybe time travel is completely impossible.

Think of a better paradox.
