A little flawed? "But guuyyyyyysss, they worked REALLY hard on this game." is not an argument, it's the kind of excuse a 3 year old would use. Not to mention his primary argument effectively boils down to "We were way too goddamned lazy to ever do a proper redesign of our engine that's 21 years...

Hey! This is clearly not Burger King level. Not even Dairy Queen level of competence, but instead Jack in the Box.

The entire point of Private Division is that the devs keep their own IP. Now, PD might have right of first refusal for X years, which could complicate things.

Er, what? Except for the energy weapons, similar weapons did similar damage in F2. See 10 mil pistol, pipe rifle, and SMG

Actually to get full DX10 functionality you do need Vista. However, part of it's functionality is the efficiency with which the API calls work. You can get all of the graphic juicyness out of DX10 on XP but it takes comparatively more horsepower to do so because of the way XP handles Graphics...

Clearly they never played Fallout 2. Cause I'm pretty sure that would have topped their list.

Assuming that any of the people who are obsessed with HL cross over from there, you'd be dead wrong. For that matter, the Fallout modders are no slouches themselves. With a proper kit and the expanded modding base, you'd be surprised.

Spear fishery is not very advanced. Combined with their xenophobia ad lack of ability to create a makeshift rope I'd say they're not very advanced.

Snarky refutation of OP's points in bold color. All in all, he failed completely to show how F3's setting or gameplay were BETTER than F2's. Different certainly, but in no way/shape/or form better.

It was a micro uzi, which is why he managed to shoot himself in the head.

Holy shit, the HL soundtrack actually makes the game semi-enjoyble.

Given that art and parody are forms of protected speech in the US under the Constitution and given that any treaties signed and ratified by the US are subservient to that Constitution. that argument doesn't wash. They could always have made children killable and then done what they did for the...

Not really true. The main storyline, being the activation of Project:Purity, is perfectly salvageable. Of course, it would require making the NPC followers less assholish(Fawkes, I'm looking at you), and perhaps making an actual connection between Big Town and Little Lamplight by putting BT...

Eh, the lack of rads decaying over time should be changed back, albeit set to a much slower rate over days to weeks.

You mean besides the fact that the changes in the BoS contradict the occurrences of Tactics which happened earlier in the timeline? There should have been a much greater presence of BoS in the area with a Midwest base to leap from, and any schism that took place would have resulted in a small...
