    Fallout: New Vegas BethBlog poster contest winners

    Didn't you get the memo? Blood is red. Blood signifies strength and aggression. Red light districts are about sex. Sex sells.

    Emphasis on interaction distinguishing feature of New Vegas

    I always thought he was being sarcastic and anti-rational just for the fun of it. Anyway, the infinite skill check opportunity idea is almost as stupid as the karma 'vending machines'. There should be some kind of limit to the number of tries, where the NPC response or attitude changes, or...

    Fallout: New Vegas - Metro 2033 screenshot comparison

    The skies in the NV shots look even more fake than the skies in real life.

    DotCorp invests in Interplay

    Re: Faith Based Economics Belief is reality. Nearly everything that the public has been led to believe is a lie, or illusion is perhaps a better word, but it's their belief that makes it real, makes the wheels turn.

    J.E. Sawyer on key dialogue writing concepts

    I think Sawyer is talking about false options as they pertain to central plot devices or paths, which trick the player into believing that the end result will change, which it does not. Other than the mediocre slideshow at the end and the ability to choose werewolves and/or golems in the...

    J.E. Sawyer on key dialogue writing concepts

    Bioware does both of these things with remarkable consistency.

    Hah. The funny thing is you'd have a much easier time finding a halberd than a functional M4 in a more realistic post-apoc setting. The mutant designs are terrible, unimaginative trash though. There's no getting around that.

    French gaming magazine previews Fallout: New Vegas

    Attack of the magazine clones. It's obviously against the rules to say anything insightful or original. Must look, must walk, must talk, all the same, no variation, no creativity, the program demands, must obey. Follow your reptilian overlords into the abyss of soulless subservience and entropic...

    PC Gamer UK podcast talks Fallout: New Vegas

    Owned them as in pwned them. No one put a gun to their collective heads. They *could have* turned the offer down out of principle.

    OXM responds to the Fallout community

    Well, that's inventory management shoehorned into console format for you. Even so, there must be a better way to implement it. For ME2, the solution was to remove the inventory/loot system altogether. Why bother trying to improve something when you can just throw it away.

    OXM responds to the Fallout community

    Indeed. To satisfy the truly experienced gamer, you'd need to go several orders of magnitude beyond FO1/2 in terms of depth of gameplay, scope of choice & consequence, story development, etc. Why bother when there's always a fresh batch of humies who don't know from shit? It's much easier to...

    USA Today previews Fallout: New Vegas

    See Mass Effect: Uncharted Worlds + Mako Of course, they managed to make the suck-ass even bigger with that planet-scanning minigame.

    J.E. Sawyer on guns

    Kel-Tec actually makes a .223 pistol. I wonder if they got the idea from Fallout. Which came first? Pretty useless though. Loss of velocity means loss of fragmentation (needs at least 2600fps), which is the main selling point of .223 (5.56mm). M4s are lucky to fragment beyond 80 yards...

    Blue skies? I guess the chemtrail program stopped with the war as well.

    PSM praises writing of Fallout: New Vegas

    Big pharma knowingly murders people for profit. There's a long list of reptilian predators and game development isn't anywhere near the top. As to Obsidian, writing quality is not the issue. The trouble is finishing what they start.
