Come on, man. You can't seriously argue that fans of Fallout 3 are in the minority. It's not even worth bringing up Metacritic or something, it's just common sense. I'm a defender of AP at my workplace, but it still took a lot of patience and gameplay headaches to get to that writing, and...

I love debate! But every time the F3 arguments get into full swing, it's followed by a number of people saying how tired they are of said debates. I think it was an interesting hypothetical solution.

I can't stop looking at the guy on the far right. It's like he's a guy they found off the street, threw him in a gray shirt and jeans, and gave him a sign. He just wanted directions to the co-op. I disagree. My bustling metropolis of HoboTown had a distinct...

First, I didn't say that top-down is dead, but I will say that from a business standpoint, Bethesda's decision to use Oblivion mechanics over the old ones was the better move. Because, like you said, if it were a matter of names, Oblivion at the time had a larger fanbase to draw on. Not that...

Oh man, now you're generalizing! He said LSD, not just any drugs! Also, I always love the comparison of Fallout to Diablo or Starcraft, as if it had half the fanbase or brand loyalty. And how most people have been unable to refute the "NMA should point out to newcomers that most people here...

One of the first mods people should get for Dragon Age is the one that unlocks all the tactics slots. Spending valuable points on unlocking basic AI is ridiculous. But, easily modded and moved past. Also, the mod for an instant cooldown on Steal saves a lot of time and headaches. They...

That's okay. I've never gotten around to beating Fallout 2, so I want to play it semi-vanilla before I go with the RP.

Thanks a ton! Actually, I'm playing with just the patch, not the RP. Is there a difference re: the Sfall tweaks?

Does the unofficial patch include being able to use the mousewheel? I read somewhere it incorporated some Sfall tweaks, but couldn't figure out what. It also killed my high res patch, so are they not compatible now?

I played Squad Command, and it was an interesting game if not that great. The graphics were impressive for a DS, and it certainly had some layers of strategy, but I just couldn't get over how unwieldy the actual playing of the game was. They clearly tried to optimize the controls as much as...

Like everyone else here has said, DoW is a great game, especially with some of the mods (the Tyranid and AI mods especially). If you're into Company of Heroes then DoW is actually a step down in gameplay (since it was made before CoH), but if you're into 40k then the setting totally makes up...

How's that? Isn't their whole point is that before and since RPGs haven't had as much choice and consequence as Fallout? That it's "forgotten"? Moreover, if you're going to say that Morrowind and Deus Ex aren't revolutionary, you need to clarify "in the sense of narrative freedom."

"turnip truck" omg anachronism alert?

Pure, stark, soul-crushing drama is what it's always been about, right?

Shit, an emoticon and a blanket statement about a game that's not even out yet? I dunno man... Not really genderbending as she was previously female... Those monsters! Who wants to play an enjoyable game?! whoa never mind i guess you win Those fucking gamers...Ruining video games for...

You're seriously asking why people would pursue gambling and spectacle (especially in the post-apocalypse) over altruistic/humanitarian/practical efforts? Reeeeally? Heaven forbid.

So long as people are being super objective about journalist credibility and Alpha Protocol, I'd like to point out that Fallout 3 was far more optimized for PC than AP was. The PipBoy wasn't ideal, but navigating AP's menus is painful.

Didn't G4 used to show Arrested Development? Do they still do that? That was nice.

I'm having fun with it, but there's no way you can argue it to be a great game, much less fucking great.

Fantastic.
