The IP is owned by Take Two. Meaning: 2K Games. Ken Levine. Gonna get Bioshock'd. Still, better than the Bethesda treatment.

I'm not sure how you could argue that SPECIAL is still intact, with all the massive changes done on that front. Lack of turn-based combat would be an obvious one. I'd be interested in what Leonard Boyarsky would have to say about the game, actually. (That last part doesn't really make you...

It makes little sense that 17+ rating in the US would equate to 18+ over here, and a 18+ "rating" would be "BAN THAT FILTH". Ninja-edit.

I'm aware of that. I still don't see why that's how things need to be. Again, I don't remember anything like almost all European stores refusing to sell MGS4, GTA games, God of War, Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, et cetera. There's the occasional complaining from the UK or Germany for the likes of...

I don't see why AO rating needs to be such a horrible curse. I mean, I've never seen people kick up a fuss about PEGI's equivalent 18+ rating.

You've not done any editing of the config.txt, have you? Then it'd be running in 800x600. Widescreen resolutions can mean you can't actually click on 'continue' after finishing a level. OCD gets screwed since after meeting the normal goals of a level, you can only choose 'continue', not...

Stop being a fanboy. The game's short, there are some issues with the controls, lack of support for alternate resolutions, unskippable cutscenes and restrictions on menu options make getting OCD on each stage a pain in the ass. The game is great and was still worth a pre-order, though.

Only if it's enforced by some sort of copy protection. No, I'm saying that the "you didn't pay for it, so you've no right to play it" works for borrowed games as well. Or buying stuff second-hand - developers aren't seeing a dime from that, for sure. So there should be no harm in downloading...

It's EULA, short for "End User License Agreement", by the way. But borrowing it from a friend is somehow okay? You didn't pay for it, don't have the right to play it. Simple as that. ...or is it?

Which is still piracy, if you ask, say, the BSA.

I always find it a bit weird when NMA are written off as militant extremists, when the concerns regarding the gameplay, for instance, are shared by the original Fallout developers as well. Surely there might be some reason for that beyond irrational extremism?

Mammon truly is the greatest game designer of them all. When "violence is fucking funny" is their mantra, I find that concept charming. The same way Emil finds cutting off the heads of old ladies and pretending to talk to them charming.

With a miniature nuke. To the face. Nah.

Immersion? Might as well show a huge "CENSORED" popup to remind you that the Wasteland's now rated PG-13, and is fully approved by Jack Thompson. Either don't have children at all, or don't make them invincible just as a form of self-imposed preemptive censorship.

Not "because you cannot murder children" but "because there are invincible children".

It's called "RTwP". Knights of the Old Republic would be another example. FF games have been using RTwP since FF4, except without movement, actually. Not sure why you'd want to use the FF games, of all things, as an example of sequel continuity, though, when even the second game was built...

"[An aspect of the game] is awesome, because it's awesome" versus "[An aspect of the game] is awesome, because [stuff that's in the game]" That's how. I've seen a fair amount of reviews where I haven't managed to find out anything new about the game, other than "it's awesome". That's...

So, how are you going to twist "The game it's closest to is Oblivion." into meaning that it's actually not like Oblivion? Shouldn't the game Fallout (N) is closest to be Fallout (M, where 0 < M < N)?

Last time I did that in Planescape: Torment, my alignment quickly shifted to Chaotic Evil. If an evil character is selfish, a good one is selfless, then what is a neutral one like? The only thing I could fit there is dedication to some abstract concept, not people. Something like 'nature' for...

What the Christ. Sorry, at a loss for words.
