Please post in an already existing thread for this; these concerns have been raised numerous times. Now, on to replying to your post: I know what you mean. But the trend nowadays HAS been concentrating on graphics over making the game enjoyable or giving it a decent storyline. Most retailers...

I agree with that entirely. But the point is, I think, to make armor/weapons a drain upon your resources more than it is to add an element of realism to the game. If there's a way to implement your idea so that it does not become an annoyance to the player, then I think you could have a winner...

That is exactly the reason why I advocate making ammo much more expensive (and guns less so). That way, you make sure that most of the loot that comes from an encounter is useful to the player and less likely to be sold or traded, especially for a gun that will further consume the limited ammo...

I'd agree on the idea of making ammo much more scarce. So what if you have a Bozar or a Minigun, if you can only find the ammo to feed it once in a blue moon? It would force the player to seriously limit their use of the most powerful weapons until it is truly needed. And it would add another...

Well, you've really got to balance realism so that you don't wind up annoying the player and not gaining much out of it. And honestly, I can't see how damaging weapons/armor is doing more than adding another annoyance to the game. You're not really giving the character any new options: for...

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! OMG UR SOOO TEH FUNNEY! I'm pretty sure that his penis size is a factor, but not because it's too big.

Japanese "RPGs" are more in-depth because in Dark Alliance "RPGs" you press two buttons to resolve "combat": "Attack" and "Potion/Stimpak" In "RPGs" such as Final Fantasy you press many more buttons in combat, such as "Up" and "Down" and "Confirm". Plus, Final Fantasy "RPGs" require you to hold...

It could also be that you're picking up cordless phone conversations. I used to pick them up from my neighbors on my stereo at home.

I was going to play it, but then I read the words "Dark Alliance engine". I guess that's the only thing they're ever going to use for a console "RPG"--either some Final Fantasy crap or the ever-crappier (if it's even possible) Dark Alliance engine. And it doesn't even have the ONE feature that...

Sorry about the gravedigging here... No, there's no way to play the game in a higher resolution. The whole interface is built off of the 640x480 grid, so if you just blow up everything to be suitably huge (which would be a very daunting task) your interface will be shot to holy hell. Besides...

In no particular order (expanded super deluxe list): Fallout (all but FOT and POS) Zork (all) Chrono Trigger Unreal Tournament(original and 2004) Arcanum Freespace 2 Dark Cloud 2 Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits Soul Calibur Super Smash Bros. Melee Betrayal at Krondor D&D 3rd...

Whoa, dude, that is a burn. You just got burned. Burned, dude, burned. Why don't you just set it to download some night before you go to sleep? That's how I downloaded Debian on a 56k modem: took me 28 hours.

Sniper gets an 8.5. It's been bothering me about where it's from, though.

Uhh? No video card? I think that's your problem. How are you seeing the opening movies, though (or for that matter, anything)? Anyhow, I'm going to assume you have one and it's just invisible. Set your display to 800x600 and color depth to 16 bit and try running Fallout again.

Usually, by the time you get to the point where you're facing down centaurs (in FO1 AND FO2), you're so well armed that they shouldn't even get the chance to see what you look like. In that situation, though, poison could be a serious threat. But by that system of thinking, so could radiation...

When I saw this thread posted, I knew SOMEONE would mention the Zork games. A lot of people are actually working on human levels of interaction with mechanical systems (c'mon, has no one heard of Turing tests?), and even though it's relatively cheap in the way of CPU cycles and memory, it's a...

Well...Abandonware technically is Warez. Most people don't see it that way, and a lot of the software that is out on Abandonware is by companies that don't exist anymore or have removed the software from print. But still, until the copyright expires (which is like what, 90 years from the...

Japan has many redeeming qualities, though. If it wasn't for anime, we'd never have tentacle rape. This whole thing, though, reeks of a Japanese version of Jackass.

So you translated the original Japanese version of Final Fantasy VII? Interesting. Were there any real differences between that version and the English version? I know that, a lot of the time, certain things are taken out that are considered too "risque" for people in the States. About the only...

I don't know if this is true. I'm thinking of most Japanese games here, but it seems anymore that most RPGs are just to appeal to the "OMG sooo kawaii I know three Japanese words ^__^" crowd. Final Fantasy IX, X and especially X-2 were guilty of this. Square-Enix has yet to release a good or...
