If they make the game like that, they'll get creamed by WOW period. What they need to do is create a new form MMO that will give players an experience rather than unlimited quests and dungeon crawls that make me YAAAAAAAAAAAWN. Usually I wouldn't think it would be possible, but if they get...

I think it will be very much like the Kama Sutra master perk. Limited use, but will add some role-playing depth. Somewhat like the lady killer perk,

Let me introduce you to a little "invention" settlers came up with in the early days of colonisation; when several nations were trying to settle the same piece of land at the same time. This little invention is called scalp bounties. You see, both the French and British decided to enlist...

Public perception of safety is incredibly important. Also remember that in the 50's people didn't really know about radiation as we know it. It could have been built as a means to pacify the masses. "Go about your business, make money, live your life. If something happens jump into these...

Well, a nuclear cluster bomb was envisioned in the mid 60's as the yield control for nukes became more sensitive. While I don't have much of the data, I believe that the general thinking behind the weapon was that while a tactical nuke would cause near total destruction near epicenter of the...

Yeah, well they'll grow out of it eventually. Getting fleeced by a snake-oil salesman is part of growing up. While I don't think these hacks are doing a public service by any means, they're not exactly in league with the devil either. The job of such magazines is to get people to play...

Come-on since when has gaming news been journalism? That a magazine like Nintendo Power exists should tell you anything about the industry. Gaming mags are just big advertising platforms. Its like asking actual journalism out of Maxim or Men's Health. The only time when I actually expect...

That's very nice. It actually fills in quite a few blanks that I had. Still you have to read past the corp crud...but I think that they still tried to reach a blance between BIS and BSoft's approaches to making games.

I'm not a nuclear physicist by any stretch of the imagination, but I was lead to believe that the actual amount of fissionable material was actually quite low for low yield nukes. The most complex part of the fission process in early designs was controlling explosives which surrounded the...

What you don't seem to realise is that most people already own a PC, its like a television nowadays, everyone has one. 99% of people with a console have a PC, like 99% of people with a PC own a TV. So you save $100-$150 have all the capabilities of a pc like blogging and going on the...

I think that if he's legit, he's probably someone who got the disk through a contact in Bethesda, or MS. I have several friends who work for Ubisoft and other gaming firms in Montreal, and they usually have a few "employee copies" that a Betas and the like. Sometimes I get to play a game a few...

Ok, I'll concede all the points you've made about F3...I also have reservations about the game. But if you honestly look at F1 vs. F2, you'll see that F2 had many departures from the original. 1. Brotherhood of steel went from a xenophobic bunch of isolationists to an inclusionary society...

I actually feel the same way, I was simply commeting on what the guys at Beth were talking about wanting to avoid the "mistakes" of fallout 2. I'm also a huge fans of movies and books who break the 4th wall...as long as they do so in a tasteful way. I must also say that F2 was a much...

If I were to use your line of reasoning, then Fallout 2 was an attempt to cash in on the first, hence its motives are flawed. Fallout tried to cash in on Wasteland by calling itself the spiritual successor, hence its motives are also flawed. And Wasteland was trying to cash in movies like the...

So you're saying that if its a great post-apocaliptic game, and is highly entertaining, but fails the verisimilitude test we should be outraged? Would you rather have a really lousy, yet thematically accurate game? I'm sure we would all rather have a game that does both, but its impossible for...

I'm not saying that you're not. But here's the question, can you play every game that's come out last year at max FPS? Did you spend more than $1000 for the whole system including monitor and software at the time? If you plunk down $400 on a video card, then sure it'll last you 3-4 years...but...

The thing was that most of the pop references in Fallout were pretty much blended seemlessly into the game, you only got it if you knew about it. Otherwise, you didn't pay any attention to it. In Fallout 2 most of the references were obvious and some completely took you out of the game. I...

I wish that they would let the guys get a little bit more into the game, so far I've only read one reivew where things were a bit different. Its looking more and more like the FPS option doesn't work as intended...which sucks because I don't want to HAVE to use VATS all the darn time...

I couldn't see what the first link was, but the second PC was still $635 without a monitor. And I've played PC games full res, compared to a PS3 or XBOX 360 with HDMI cables...not much difference anymore. Besides, I love how you can predict the future...PCs have been becoming obsolete...

What are you talking about live in the past? Dude, I've build PCs too, and while you might enjoy it, there is a significant portion of the world that doesn't...and those people represent about 95% of the budget gamers. You're saying that the machine you're talking about would be good for...
