Cutting the robot from the game would have been a larger improvement. They might have actually spent some time fitting the followers into the ending then.

Interesting so the "The Last Judgment" on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Rome isn't Art. Artists in time periods before now tended to fall into 2 groups. The starving artists who might fit your description. And the kept men & women who produced art for their patrons. Michelangelo...

You really might want to check dates more often. Half-Life came out in 1998... which is the same year as Fallout 2. Now if you're talking about Half-Life 2 then I have to wonder what you think of any of the early game. Doom is a better benchmark in terms of FPS and given it came out 1993 it...

Both actually. The ash isn't a killer in that we cann't breath, but that the amount of sunlight we're getting drops alot. Resulting in colder temps and plants dying off. As for the explosion.... Those closest to it will be vapourized and the shockwave will cause tidal waves destroying the...

Alot of things could have happenned... but they didn't it. If New Reno was meant to be a fortress town they should have shown or at least told us in the game. So trying to explain New Reno that way doesn't really work. As for having a fortress town in Fallout: 1) It would have to be...

No law would destroy the city. Each of the gangs would make a powerplay *long* before the player shows up. You would end up 1 gang in control of the city or every gang down to a few members & one of the other cities taking over. Gangs need a state to supply cannon fodder. Where are the...

Given that there isn't 1 designer for games anymore it does mean we have to pick & choose. A major part of the problem with Fallout 3 is that they put in anything & everything they thought was fun. :crazy: Fallout 2 had the same problem to a lesser degree which means they should have...

Actually we can. It's called past experience. Oblivion was hyped as the 2nd coming of RPGs. It had problems and those problems seem to be showing up in Fallout 3..... Yet the jounalists are giving out 9/10 & 10/10 and not commenting on the flaws in the game. As I see it we have 4 choices...

Fallout 1: http://www.gametap.com/play/gameDetails/000587850 Fallout 1's Manual: http://www.gametap.com/manuals/000587850.html You have to register at Gametap & install their program (bloatware/spyware), but you can get both for 'free'.

They don't seem to understand C&C at all. Either that or are extremely lazy and rather than coming up with a different story for each choice they just flip it. I'm wondering what they are going to come up for neutral due to the fact they cann't really flip the good or evil storylines to make a...

Voice talents usually make less money than Actors, so they don't even need to borrow from their marketing budget. They would need to redo the PR campaign so as to cut the hype for the "Big name Stars" out, but they seem suprisely good at PR in Bethsoft. At times it seems that is all they are...

It's that they feed off each other. Publisher/Developer wants a larger market share so they reduced the difficultly of the game. Dumb gamers buy it larger numbers so the Publisher thinks they made the right decision. After awhile almost all games drop in difficulty so the Publisher loses some...

Mister Burke makes a pretty convincing pitch.... in a bar surrounded by people he is going to and none of them react to him?!? That's immersion? :crazy: Nevermind the fact that from the spoilers I have seen that the pitch he makes isn't that great and would convince me he is an idiot so...

I enjoy the fact that we bicker over any answer. It shows that there isn't any completely right answer & that the game developers should continue improving their games. Also that they should try to market to only 1 genre instead of merging them all as they presently seem to be doing. True...

It seems to me that Bethsoft is trying to tell this great story they thought up and doing it in a Freeroaming game. Now you can disagree on whether it is a great story or not til the cows come home... different tastes. It is the Freeroaming part that I have a problem with. Correct me if I...

Yeah, I know. I could simply say "To hell with it!" and start ignoring things, but that's part of the problem with today's gamer. "Oh that's not important, so it's alright if they screw it up" being the mentality. Small details create the whole and while a good game is greater than the sum...

Even with variable wings there is a max weight for the object/creature being lifted, which I believe the Bloatfly is over. Althought the idea does fit the 50s Science! genre as most of the bugs in those movies could not exist in real life. The Giant Ant being the best example of it... the...

Not a problem at all. I understand perfectly where you are coming from. Some games are great once and lack a replayability.... so trying to replay them kills the experience. That's one of the things I like about Fallout; there is alot of replayability to it. At times I'll reread an old book...

True. I'd call what Bethsoft is doing more Freeroaming. Which has it's nice points, pity then to clash with what I see as good in a cRPG.

Which is why I didn't pick a particular game for ya. A popcorn game is something you play just because it's there. As opposed to a classic which you revist because it's among the best of it's type. A classic should hold at least part of your imagination for years while popcorn games simply...
