The key part being "remaining points". You spent five AP to shoot at a guy, meaning he just lessened the distance between the two of you by five hexes (assuming you have the same amount of action points). Not exactly the same as being able to maintain a constant distance between you and your...

Seems like they've taken a page from the book of JRPG combat design. The "whoa! cinematic" stuff does get old pretty fast - there better be a way to turn it off. Enemies falling to pieces when killed remind me of zombies in Painkiller. Pretty odd.

I doubt that you'll be able to disregard the normal firing speed of weapons in VATS.

Thou shalt not not mock the words of one belonging to the Holy Troika.

He seems to use "disappointed in conservative design" as a synonym for "they didn't turn it into an MMO". Fuck-a-doodle-doo.

I'm not sure weapon skill deciding how many headshots enemies can take is what seems logical.

"Our dedicated boys keep the peace in the newly annexed Canada"...?

Wait, you mean WoW and Sims isn't outselling basically everything else? That's news to me.

Well, one could say that bullshit like WoW massively outselling fairly decent games like GTA4 does indicate that PC gaming is dying, at least in a way. Then again, there's Company of Heroes, Mask of the Betrayer, King's Bounty: The Legend, and the like, which still seem to avoid being...

Because it's a mile long? If you're looking for a particular picture, you possibly have to wait for all of them to load. It's not so horrible once they're cached, but then the cache is only temporary, too. Put simply: what reason is there not to use thumbnails? Those, along with the forum...

Well, considering I paid what amounts to 4$ for Fallout 1 and 2, it'll be tough for AoD to beat such a value-for-money ratio. :P A bit tangential, but I would say that a game is worth whatever people are willing to pay for it - you just have to give them the option to do so. A guy buying the...

Starcraft 2 is the exception, then? I'm not too up-to-date regarding the game, but it seems to do a fair number of things differently so it's not just a rehash, while keeping true to the fundamentals of the original.

Aren't you two saying the same thing? :P

Conclusion - naysayers didn't care about the story or setting in Fallout. Hmm?

Just noticed something: is that the unexploded nuke of Megaton in the background of the last screenshot?

Not necessarily "new" (there was a preview a while back that talked about Glowing Ones zapping you with their radiation attacks), but seems it's confirmed, now. This fell into the "they've got to be fucking kidding" category for me, like the Fatman and the flaming sword did. Unfortunately...

There should be a bit more about the dialogue and choice&consequence available in the game past the ten-year-old stage. I can't really bring myself to care about the morally ambiguous cake-related choices, sorry.

Well, I've only played the demo so far, but Company of Heroes does some interesting stuff with the RTS genre. I've heard nice things about Mask of the Betrayer as well.

The scary thing would be if they calculated the previous 9-12 endings in the same way. That'd likely be your three possible approaches for Megaton near the beginning of the game, and 3-4 ways you could deal with the Big Bad at the end of the game. And that's it. *shudder*

So, I was under the impression that Fallout's world was one where science progressed according to what people thought in the US of the fifties. The exception being that people didn't only fear the end of the world resulting from nuclear apocalypse, it actually happened. However, so sayeth...
