Err... us DeusEx fans thought InvisibleWar was a crock of shit and shunned it - hence it being the end of the line for the series, and Ion Storm going tits up not long after. Had heard a rumour Eidos were going to dig it up, but Warren has done a runner... A better example would be FO: Tactics...

HEH. Sorry to break your bubble, but I am most surprised that you (being such an avid fan and all) haven't yet noticed that you CAN'T target the eyes or groin in FO3... does that kinda break the spirit at all for you? Look for the picture of the Uruk Hai to see where you can and can't target..

Being a fan of Oblivion, the fact you get to fight Orcs with nuclear weapunz in FO3 must positively make you horneh! Seriously is Beth paying you to spurt this crap? Even the most optimistic of true FO fans would hold off on stating 'seems to have every bit of the Fallout Spirit'.... FO...

Brilliant post, sums up my thoughts exactly. Your comment on most new games being crap is bob on, it's rare for me to play a game these days that I actually enjoy playing. Most become a bloody chore that I can't wait to get to the end of. I think I began using god mode 1/3 of the way into Doom3...

Yep, it's going to be a nightmare to change it, but we have to try in our own little way to make a difference. Otherwise we may as well all ditch our dreams for advanced gameplay and buy shares in Halo.

That is entirely true - I would argue that the root of the problem problem exactly began though when the media became reliant on gifted games etc. How can you ever, realistically, bite the hands that feed you? In an ideal world the reviewer would buy and review their own products - allowing...

Regarding the Hype: The real people who need to be brought into touch aren't Bethesda nor even fanboys. It's is the bloody gaming press imo. Take that GI article, it was pure hype - there was no deconstruction of what was said, nor was there any critical analysis. I dread to think what...

Heh, can but wish. Suspect tho realistically they are more likely to continue raping their 'fans' via glorious commercial plug-ins. We can take solace in the fact the 'new' breed of FO fanboys will no doubt be whining like bitches within a month of the game released, about how unfair it is...

The new vault attire is 50's, it looks like what mechanics etc would wear... But FO as we all know wasn't 50's. The Jetson's style tight fitting spandex superhero outfits really fitted in with the whole cult of the vaults and their futuristic vision. You looked totally different to the surface...

I was a TES modder, I actually tried to improve Oblivion, yay me. Fixing all the problems raised in this thread isn't something the Kit will realistically enable us to do. It *isn't* an SDK, it's basically a load of prefab stuff. You can juggle the prefab stuff around - but making new original...

I think your more likely to see Todd's Mudcrab-on-a-stick stand, somehow :/

Re: I got banned Wouldn't put all your hopes on Obsidian, all their games thus far have been far from stellar. NWN2 & KOTOR have both been 'ok' but overall very linear, railroaded and chokka with abysmal dialogue. Now that could be down to Bioware pulling the strings, but given their current...

For those who don't get why a lot of us are mocking their supermutent wannabe, here is a quick lineup of the real deal, their interpretation, and an Orc from Oblivion. Note the pronounced chin on Marcus, the scaley skin and massively different head proportions/shape. All they had to do...

There were a few underground portions, yes. But they were hardly a major feature, and if you wished they could be avoided totally for the most part. Vaults, Bunkers and the odd Mine are very different things to sprawling sewer and metro networks. Incase you haven't played any of the recent...

Dont be harsh, it's not his fault he signed on for the wrong game - being an Orc he couldn't read the signs, they can't all be as intelligent as 'Gar'. Someone at Beth really should have recognised he didn't look anything like a mutant and politely shown him the door, but I guess they were too...

I guess we have to hope that direct marketing and episodic content really takes off sometime soon. Sam 'n Max (also niche) seems to be working out fine on that basis, it seems to be quite a safe model as long you stay nich and target a captive audience. Ritual (SiN Eps) fucked up by making an...

Having read the whole article, a whole plethora of new shit has indeed emerged. What's all this talk of 'sprawling underground metros and sewer systems'? That sounds like dungeon crawling to me, complete with the monster closet mutants.. not good... any bets on how many quests will involve...

Gah this is one game I really wanted my hunches to proven wrong on. The super mutant = WTF, definitely more akin to something from FO:POS. Why oh why could they not *look* at how they were depicted in the talking heads.. is that too fecking hard? I guess they want the game to be omg scary...

They would do it if they couldn't be bothered modifying the engine to make ceilings/upper levels dissolve (ala NWN2). The 3rd person in Obliv was really only there for people to perv at their characters and make pretty screen shots of their characters sitting down and staring at yet another...

Doh, forgot it made them advance faster in FO - thought it just gave you a boost in them three areas at the start. Been a while since I played them properly - apologies
