    Over 2000 Midnight Store Openings for Fallout 3

    Oh they do, as I mentioned above, they apparently use Starforce which for some reason is popular in Russian games from what I hear. EDIT: And perhaps lets leave it at this as I'm not trying to encourage the bad type of forum discussions that ends up with strikes.

    Over 2000 Midnight Store Openings for Fallout 3

    The leaked version is the Russia version so they need a starforce crack. Technically a crack shouldn't be needed if BS told the truth that their DRM was just a CD check. However from what I've read it's SecuRom. Apparently you can't just make a backup copy (which I've heard a bunch of people...

    Fallout 3 and Game Violence's Taboo

    But at the same time, those stores have little retail space for PC games, they shelve maybe 10 copies. In fact if this was PC only an AO rating would probably have little lost sales since most stores barely stock PC games anymore.

    Fallout 3 guide creation #5: Quests

    Should it spin when it fires? A Gatling gun should in order to reload the barrel but a laser one doesn't need to reload. I never bothered with energy weapons in either game so I have no clue what they animated like in game. EDIT: Actually, if it did spin then it would probably screw up the...

    Fallout 3 hits Steam

    I may be thinking of not being able to bind the quick keys. All I remember is that you had to mess with the .ini to properly change the key set up. Also, what are you blocking with in this game? Do you need shields or are you blocking bullets with your arms?

    Fallout 3 hits Steam

    Man, those perks are pretty bad. I love how at level 18 you can suddenly have an adamantium skeleton. The screen shots are crap and it doesn't seem as though you can bind keys (a carry over problem from Oblivion). Also, I love how the map shows destinations you haven't visited yet but should...

    Paste Magazine interviews Todd Howard

    I agree for the most part. If this was a JRPG then you can't really argue about the motivations of the character. But here, since they seem to be going gaga about doing anything you want such a limiting main quest makes little sense. But then again, BS seems to just throw things together with...

    Fallout 3 local community chats

    That's exactly what I'm saying. The odd thing is that this Team BS (whoever that was) avoided the question. I mean why avoid such a simple question especially since it's designed such that the answer is to gush over the game.

    Todd Howard on Fallout 4

    I think the time table depends on a few things such as if they design a new engine and if the fighting is the same in both (either both VATS or neither). But considering how interchangeable TES4 and Fallout3 are simultaneous development makes sense. And if they use a new engine then it may be...

    Fallout 3 local community chats

    I agree that their reasoning is off but at the same time, I think any dev is going to think their game is pretty good. I actually give the guy credit for giving it a 9/10 meaning he knows there room to improve. What I found funny is that BS Team (whoever that is) couldn't actually answer the...

    Planet Fallout interviews Desslock

    That does explain the tone. I kind of feel bad for him, he's kind of caught between a rock and a hard place in this game. Which I guess explains why he's bringing up flaws but then backpedaling quickly over them. I personally can't understand loving a company no matter what (a game though is...

    Planet Fallout interviews Desslock

    Which is why you hit them both. Either way given an attack, not all the bombs had to target military installations, it just makes sense (and is back up in Fallout Lore) to drop a few in DC. Actually nuking DC makes sense because you also get the NSA, CIA, FBI plus a bunch of military...

    Planet Fallout interviews Desslock

    @Texas Renegade, The point of Nuking DC is to destroy the US power base. It's a morale attack as much as a military attack (taking out the Pentagon and the surrounding federal infrastructure). Also, to me a lot of Desslock's answers seem odd, like the one Jengo quoted. He laid out some...

    3dzone interviews Bethesda team

    Although to be fair, a game should be fun at a basic level. The problem is BS's definition of fun is not the same definition a lot of others have.

    Planet Fallout interviews Desslock

    Is he serious? Half the stuff I hear about sounds silly. I mean Robo Butlers, Super Hero fights, Ant Powers, etc. Very little of what I heard sounds plausible or dark.

    Fallout 3 guide creation #3: Training Chapter Overview

    Well, I have seen them in my public library. Otherwise I have no clue. In the 18 years I have been gaming, I have bought about 7 guides. 5 of them were for Working Design games which were pretty humorous besides being a good game guide and were packed full of interviews, game history, design...

    PSM3 Fallout 3 review, not impressed with PS3 version

    I've found IGN tends to just copy and paste their reviews from one system to another. Then again IGN's quality has gone downhill significantly in recent years.

    Bethesda tires of spending money to support pirates

    Hell, Diablo Game Chest hasn't dropped in price in like 5 years. I had hoped to eventually pick it up for $20 but it's still at $40. And true, DRM is killing the industry better than anything. I mean who wants to pay $60 to rent a game and it then there are even more reason the game might...

    Bethesda tires of spending money to support pirates

    I would add in that back in the 90's you could take back games that either didn't work or you didn't like. So I would buy games safe with the knowledge that I could return it if it was crap. Also PC games seem to rarely drop in price anymore. So if I wanted to pick up an older game, it would...

    Bethesda tires of spending money to support pirates

    Not to be an ass, but I'm not sure what lawschool course you took but in the one I took two years ago (I'm now a bar certified attorney) shrink wrap licenses were typically invalid especially in consumer goods. While there may be cases to the contrary, shrink wrap licenses violate the UCC which...
