I don't get calling it a LARP. Am I missing something? LARP = Live Action Role Playing, right? Did I miss the a bit of a quest? To kill off a raiders camp do you need to dress up in a stupid outfit and annoy people in a public park, while looking like the biggest douchebag possible?

Yes, strawman arguments are purely the domain of the 'fanboys'. We should just agree to disagree on this one as well though before we start getting Vatted

Or maybe it's because this is a discussion forum? We're fanboys in the same that you're a unpleasable ranter. Both sides can be painted with an equally unappealing brush. *Gasp* A differing opinion. ON THE INTERNET! A call to arms, my friends! I don't agree with many of Brother None's...

I hope so. The first guy was a pussy. Walking away into the wastes? You're packing rocket launchers, plasma rifles, and a giant steel armor that lets you laugh off small arms fire! Take the vault over and rule as an unquestioned dictator!

Heh, the 'games as art' statement. Makes me laugh every time... Nothing can kill a game like a bad driving section (See the Matrix games, and the new Bourne Conspiricy game). To implement properly, it would require another split of resources within the dev team, as well as the mapping team...

I don't get the house hate. Personally, I'd love the option of having a little piece of the wasteland all to myself. I like the option of being able to say "You know what Dad? You're a dick. Find yourself, I'm happy out here as a post-apocolypic mercenary". I like the idea that I can make...

Thanks for coming out

I loved the houses in Oblivion. I'm such a massive packrat in these games that it's really nice to have a place to store it all. How's that PhD in physics treat'n yah?

Ooo, I'd like to know more of this list. Do we get membership cards? Are there meetings? :)

I'd get a good chuckle if after 200 years, and however many generations of hallucinations, if the removalof the drug is what makes them claw each other apart

I think that if I was born and raised in a place where everyone was on psychotropics, the biggest mind-blow of all would be if one day the voices went away.

Apparently the nuclear catapult is somewhat quest-related, and that ammo for it is EXTREMELY rare. The E3 demos gave some people the impression that you'd be lobbing them around like footballs, which is incorrect. You can probably just churn through the entire game without ever firing a shot...

To each his own. I'm personally very pumped about it. I loved the fallout setting and many of the locales (some... not so good). The fallout gameplay was something I had to suffer through to get it. My only question right now is PC vs. PS3. One has modding potential, and the other has a...

Wow man, you're taking a lot of shit :) I think the discussion shouldn't really be about the terminology, but the effect. Realtime is all about shots of opportunity, and hectic survival. VATS let's you stop, think for a second, and come up with a plan of attack. Personally, I'm really...

That's the nice thing about today's hardware market. Most parts are such ridiculous overkill that even budget parts make a decent gaming PC. Anyone spending $600 on a video card these days has either too much money, or too little sense.

Gaming journalism is a straight up joke anyway. The internet has pretty much killed the industry, and they're all trying to pull in readers from wherever they can. Look at the reviews for Too Human. It's not even close to a 10/10 game, but it's a respectable 7 or 7.5 easily. Many of the...

The early demo builds at other conferences were setup for almost god-like characters (basically had cheats running). It's been said that VATS recharges much slower for regular gameplay, and people who've played it at later conferences/demos have said that the game felt more challenging...

I'd rather have them playing wizard in their basement than running around in a public park yelling "Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!"

My impression is that it's not really the game companies pushing this stuff, it's the publishers and retailers. EB Games lives on preorders and used games. It's obvious from walking into most of their stores. They lean on the publisher for some kind of exclusive swag (posters, t-shirts that...

With a decent voice actor, caravan guy might be kind of funny. I read that and imagine him like the crazy guys who say shit like this outside my apartment. Ahh, the joys of downtown living...
