I wouldn't King's Bounty the game of the year either. It has it merits, but I only see it as a seriously washed-out version of the older HoMM games. Only where HoMM offered strategy, King's Bounty offers rather boring and repetitive quest design. From this perspective, does it matter who cloned...

Putting the inattentive misinterpretation of my previous posting aside, let's just finish with the irrelevant "Is Doom the First FPS?" discussion. It is not, and your stubborn unwillingness to face the facts is silly and meaningless. If we're discussing the engines, it's Unreal Engine 3 vs an...

FPS, if you don't know the term's meaning, is an acronym for "first-person shooter". Not "z-axis shooter", not "whatever-I-want-it-to-be shooter", just plain "first-person shooter", which is a shooter that is mainly played from a first person perspective. Doom was not the first shooter to use...

:facepalm:

Three suitable alternatives come to mind: a Wall Street trader, a manager at McDonald's, or the Kool-Aid Man.

So that's where those rigid character movements come from. Todd Howard's personal Barbie doll collection.

George Orwell: a brilliant writer or a brazen plagiarist? Regardless of the answer, I say Electronic Arts and Public Enemy should probably sue for copyright infringement anyway.

What's the difference between an absolute masterpiece and an unplayable piece of crap? Personally, I think it's the blue tint...

It's not like Oblivion's criticisms weren't there. GameSpy's cons, for example, included "Bugs and technical issues; Poor character animations; AI limitations; console-style interface." Fixed, fixed, and fixed, eh? Although you may have some point there, let's be clear and not blame...

Almost forty "you know" in mere eight minutes? I was all like "Bethesda's vice president of public relations and marketing is one awesome dude and stuff", you know? And the seemingly illiterate interviewer is all like "daaamn, I'm all cool ya'll, aight"... Brainwashingly epic.

Dammit, forgot to mention the unkillable bishops and a certain Hollywood actor voicing the king. But you get the idea.

Bethesda Softworks Proudly Presents: EXTREME CHESS MASTER: Awesome Edition. Expanded Information - Limitless Freedom! – Predefined movements are so 15th century. Now you have the power to make the choices that define your own style of moving. Just keep an eye on your Bubonic Plague...

Banzai!

Me too. I guess that automatically makes me a big fan of blurry textures, absent shadows, repetitive palettes, and twitchy, awkward animations. Fallout 3, you just got my vote.

Per, you got to let it go, man...

An unexplained earthquake, huh... EDIT: By the way, Gamespot and Gamerankings list the game as Xbox 360/PS3 only. I wonder if it gets released on PC at all.

To quote myself once more: So, controlling a (predefined) lifeless character who has less than a handful of (predefined) possible solutions for every single (predefined) problem he may encounter is called role-playing, but controlling a responsive and reactive character who shows an...

Guys, pay some attention, please: Once again, it has little to do with limiting anybody's choices. It's about seeing the consequences of your own actions, realistic character behavior and more immersive gameplay. Let just go of GTA 4 and Fallout 3 for a second. Would Mass Effect be a...

Sorry, this doesn't look promising at all. If someone held a gun to my head, I'd rather play Fallout 3. :?

Again, GTA4 makes a great example of a game done right. It only shows you parts of the picture, but it does it in such a convincing manner that your mind gets fooled into accepting the reality of the shown world. Fallout 3 does the opposite. You can follow any random NPC to his destination, only...
