The reason I would like those dialogues spelled out completely before hand is that a lot of context can and does get lost. I found the dialogue choice wheel in Mass Effect to be stupid. It shows a lack of trust in the gamer, on the part of the developer, that they had to colour code your...

And here is the problem. What defines a good or bad player? His twitch reflexes or his stat/skill build? All or none of the above? Does this suddenly mean that in this RPG(any RPG), which is supposed to be about freedom and exploration, that there are now wrong and right character builds? If...

Am I the only person who gets the impression that, if this project fails, Todd-o and "Fireside" Pete are going to hang this on Emil, and then, consequently, hang his fat ass out to dry? Emil presents VATS as a great concept that all people will inevitably end up using. In fact, if there's one...

No. Wanna know why? Because about 5 or so years ago the few remaining holdouts in the game selling business stopped giving a generous return policy. Why? Because I was supposed to be able to gauge whether or not a title was "for me" by reading reviews from the what?...what? ... THE GAMING...

Yes... and there's nothing more unbearable than the zealotry of the "newly-converted". He's an asshat. So is Darren. Someone should point out the definition of the word "fallacy" to Darren. It's been harped on endlessly here- real time with pause does not equal turn based, Darren. Unless...

Glad you folks enjoyed the pic. What irks me about parties like this, is that they reek of the excesses of the old Ion Storm days. Fiddling while Rome burns, so to speak. The only thing they haven't done is told us that we're going to be FINO3's bitch. but I'm waiting for that one... I'm...

Fixed.

Hmmm... you know... I think you might be on to something.

While I have several misgivings about fallout 3, I don't believe it's worth anyone's time to harp on whether or not the original two games or any sequel adhere totally to the 1950's motif. About the only people you'd really see adhere to that( and that's debatable) are the people in isolated...

Well, this is lame. I wasn't ecstatic when I saw the preview movies and clips but now, seeing as the game has been pirated, my expectations for the gaming industry- as regards DRM- are totally in the crapper. Sure, my kneejerk response was, "Haha! Those evil sons of bitches got pirated...

And here is where I'm going to disagree. Yes, the 16 year-olds are potentially tomorrow's gamers, but if you do a little reading, you're going to find that, contrary to "conventional wisdom", the average gaming audience is getting older. More to the point the older demographic- say your late...

Ideally, lying should be an option for every quest, including random ones(when applicable). I agree with JESUS in that your speech skills should be the determining factor in those sorts of resolutions. Problem is, in order to keep it somewhat consistent, lying would have to have a sort of...

If this is sarcasm- then I say "Well played." If not, then let's see. I've given Bethesda my fair share of money over the years- Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind-and its expansions, Oblivion- and expansions. I also bought Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics and played them through many many times. My...

I think we're all "looking forward" to FINO3 because, as fans, we're the equivalent of a kid in a dysfunctional family who's been put to the side while his mom gets high out in the living room with another of his "uncles". He can't cook for himself- hell, he can't even reach the counter and...

The children issue... I'd say verisimilitude- but in the state that FINO3 is likely to be in at release well- who cares anymore? Back to the article... To me, it's excerpts like the two above that help to erode any credibility the Bethesda folks may have once had in my eyes. I've already...

Even though it reduced the amount of Tamriel you could explore, Daggerfall was pretty much the high point of the series IMO. It was still crude but it offered you the most options of any of the games. Having your own ship was nice, horses, as well as horse-drawn wagons you could leave outside...

That's because Bethesda saw them coming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce_nlQ_55Hs&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWatC0eOjuc&feature=related

I don't care about BSG's latest incarnation. When it comes to fallout 3 being FINO, well... /::switching to dead horse beating mode:: It's not a true Fallout game in my eyes. Sure, Bethsoft bought the franchise, but doing that and slapping a logo on their box doesn't make it a true...

I'm not your guy, BUDDY! But seriously. I've played Oblivion, I think I know how big they say they think the world will feel. If Oblivion's world size is any gauge for FINO3, then it's not going to be very large at all. Additionally, I recall reading mention on this site of how the devs...
