True, if you talk about really dying. But what if the worst that could happen to a character was being unconscious? In most games, they just stand up after the fight, but that actually doesn't make too much sense. There's nothing that prevents a game from interpreting unconsciousness a bit...

Absolutely. Perma-death has never added anything of real value to a non-ironman-mode party RPG. In ironman, sure, that's great, as that is exactly what you want. In a game where you can reload anyway, it doesn't add anything but unneccessary frustration. Something in-between as in the BG...

Actually, I think he meant what he said - cause and effect. That you get feedback for what you do. That you have a sense of achievement. This is genre-independant. For Sim City, this is very apparent. For GTA, not so much, other than story progression, so I don't know how the GTA...

It's like that all around Europa, more or less. ;) The Witcher, Minecraft, Afterfall, The Whispered World (and all other adventures by Daedalic, Germany), EVE Online gets better and better, who knows how many kickstarter projects, etc. Long live the European Republic! *patriotism, etc.*

The game was actually pretty fun. But as with all story driven games with no freedom it will be near impossible to motivate me to play it again because I know the ending. Yeah... I also rarely watch movies twice...

I really wouldn't describe that as shit, but I do have to wonder why someone with "Posts: 1" can post a news item. Seems random to me. Or is he an alt?

Definitely agree here. It really bites somehow. Likely because it has such a contrast to the background image. Why not use the color of that as the background instead of white? I just changed the background of the "#main" in the CSS to #EEEEEE instead of the background image, and it really...

I agree with you, danielje. All the article basically says is that it won't be menu based combat. And that one is pretty much given, so the the point in writing that article in the first place is probably just to educate people. Maybe. But please - OMFG. PLEASE! - do format your postings...

And two weeks after Kickstarter there will be a photo of Fargo sitting in his new mansion somewhere on the Philippines, smiling devilishly, and we'll all be victims of one of the best trolling attempts in history.

Get out of here, Stalker!

One $ for pre-order? I don't think they'll get even close to 10 million. Still a pretty great idea from a marketing perspective, though, even if they don't reach their goal. They will have thousands of players who already spent 1$ on a game and will probably spend the rest, too, to play it.

Yup. There won't ever be games like Fallout 1 + 2 from AAA devs again. Look at indie devs if that really is what you are waiting for. Who knows what will come from that direction? ;)

I lol'd. :lol: Oh, well... n1, mr hacker. But.. uhm... I actually like this site, so could you give these people back their accounts so they can go on posting news and fixing security leaks. Also... why would anyone want to hack this site, anyway? To show that it can be hacked? To get...

I think the reason is pretty obvious. Bethesda is just superstitious, and third time is a charm, isn't it?

Also, can't blame anyone for not being able to get into EVE. It's just not very beginner friendly. I tried twice and still felt overwhelmed. IMHO, it's just not a good idea to to place the player anywhere and tell him "Okay, here's your big, limitless world. Now go and do whatever you like."...

I like the style and changed perspective on the wasteland. Seriously, if I wanted more dark and gritty THIS-IS-WASTELAND, I could play Stalker, or Fallen Earth, or Fallout 1&2, or... Nah, I'm happy they went for something new. Of course, I also hope that it won't just be a bigger New Reno.

Well, if that was true, I beg Bethesda or someone to break the canon, because that would just be utter bullshit. Some places like Greenland, some places in Africa or New Zealand are far less likely to be completely destroyed than the USA. But I agree that the Fallout franchise would probably...

The thing is, you really don't need level caps. I'm talking about open-world games here. Assume a random game. We can balance the game in a way that the mobs around here are lvl 10, here around lvl 15, etc... and in the final stage, they are around lvl 30-35. Now, what's the difference...

I lol'd.

True. Wtf.
