It sounds like you're using this for a videogame, correct? If so, then muzzle energy is probably an acceptable proxy metric for round effectiveness. I don't think there's any need to dive into endless firearms debates simply to make your game. After you finish putting the chart together...

I actually looked into Alienware when I was shopping for computers last September/October. Alienware machines are somewhat better for gaming than your typical Dell without being quite as expensive as the semi-custom shops like Falcon NW. I ended up building my own, but I briefly considered an...

I'm still trying to limit my game purchases, but Expeditions: Conquistador for 10 bucks is mighty tempting.

Here's my preferred ranking: Fallout - 2/NV - Fallout 3 - Tactics I preferred the tighter-feeling world design of the first to FO2, and FO2/NV is pretty much a tossup. There's a lot in New Vegas that I really, really like, and the game does get more challenging on "very hard". Between...

Lots of tempting stuff there, but I have so many games I have barely played, thanks to Steam sales, that I'm trying to cut back on purchases.

How is it? I saw it on Steam on felt curious.

That's clearly not what am I saying. This would be a pretty stupid argument to make, since we've already seen this type of system work in more than one game. My argument is that I prefer a more logical system that is more internally consistent. Fallout New Vegas is a really good example for that...

I don't think you understood my point very well. First of all, the M16 vs the AKM is a bad analogy because you're talking about two firearms that fill fundamentally the same role at roughly the same point in history. As select-fire rifles firing intermediate cartridges loaded from external...

A progression of categories feels more logical to me. I really, really hate that in New Vegas the laser pistol is clearly inferior to the 10mm, because the laser technology is so much more advanced. Raw skill point optimization isn't the only thing I look for in a system. Honestly, it's...

I kind of prefer the progression of categories to be honest. This system sounds too Sawyer-esque, in the bad way. I'm sure it's still a lot of fun, though.

It's fine to like the game, I basically do, but I think Fallout 3 has objectively bad writing. I don't think it's just a matter of opinion.

I think it plays well enough, but the game just isn't that much fun.

Yeah, but it shouldn't blow up the gun. I've shot tons of the stuff, and never had anything like that happen with one of my firearms.

I want to hang this post in the Louvre.

Man, you really dug deep to bump this thread.

So, they have finally released an update that explains in some detail how the online play actually works. Maybe they had before, I don't know, but I wasn't going to watch hour long chats just to see if they answered the one questions I wanted to know. In short, it sounds like an MMO light...

Looks good, but that zombie moan sound effect is almost unbearable.

To be honest, I don't really care if any extra money went straight into Fargo's pocket, as long as he produces good games. I think inXile isn't going to make much profit on these games after they're made, just because most of their market has already purchased the games at a bargain price. In...

Some of it actually sounds interesting to me. I don't really understand how the online aspect of the game is going to work, though. It sounds like there's going to be a persistent online world, but they also claim it's not a MMOG. Dozens of city homesteads being available sounds like a huge...

I think the premise of your position is itself a little unfair. They could have simply not bothered with stretch goals at all. Is that better or worse? Does your $25 suddenly become a worse investment because a stretch goal added later doesn't promise more loot at a good enough rate? No one...
