Which one? I've heard a lot of the design philosophies, most of which revolved around secrets and how they should be used - plentiful and to add to the setting. Ohhhh, yes, that one- You just don't often see that kind of depth in today's games. The bold was my preferred way of handling...

I've always been partial to the idea of bombers, since that's is typically how nukes were envisioned to be dropped until the missile threats of the 60s when FAR more accurate missiles were developed. Plus I believe one of the intro slides of Fallout 1 showed a bomber, IIRC. Rockets/missiles...

I also like shooters. I like action games. I play nearly every genre known to man. When I want to play a CRPG - I want to play a CRPG. When I want to play a decent game, I load it up on my computer and have fun. When I pay too much on a console to play a couple of passable FPS games to...

The worst thing about the games going out of print would probably have to be the loss of items they included with the original publication. The wire wound manual, the words "Remember Wasteland?" on the inside flap, neat touches like that. Now, with Fallout 3, I'm wondering what connection to...

On that note, I didn't think it was possible to trump the idiocy found in Fallout: Piece of Shit, but the Bethesda assclowns have certainly won that award, too. They certainly are on the mark to be the developer to have given Fallout the worst treatment. At least MicroForté did talk and work...

Yes it can be found on Amazon.com, many times over, which is where I noticed that Bethesda appears to be shamelessly name-dropping Wasteland. Dear Todd: You suck ass, fraud.

Some you love and some you hate, I honestly thought the season 1 episodes were the best, but I had been watching since the beginning. However, their continued irreverence towards "Celebrity" is still going amusingly strong, I think. George Clooney's Agent, IIRC: "You want Mr. Clooney to do...

I will try a metaphor that was taught to me by my uncle, but explained in more applicable program functions, to explain the very same concept about running complex subroutines and how much memory it would take when calling the same subroutines multiple times. Since most people should know how...

Programmer and designer overlap a lot, especially in places where the programmer/designer have much experience. They are usually the first ones to nod or shake their head at some aspects of a game's design, due to possible technical/code restrictions, and should be involved in design a lot...

Too bad people mistakenly credit innovation as creative genius. Innovation also implies something given new life, a new direction of thought - another lame skullfucking of Fallout's combat system into RT gameplay is NOT particularly new or imaginative, because we're now seeing it for the THIRD...

The last CD that I had bought that really impressed me with the construction would have to be Powerman 5000's Tonight the Stars Revolt! The art style and thought put into the design of the booklet, along with the music and their videos, made quite an impression with their fans. Most I've...

Actually, it seems like a lot of Brits and US citizens could use with a constant reminder of the fucked state of their counties and what little real freedom they have left in light of McCarthyism Jr. After all, they're the ones often oblivious to the hype after they've been shit on repeatedly...

The best FP RPGs ever: Gold Box Silver Box Ultima in dungeon view. Wasteland Might and Magic Suspiciously, all had TB combat when they made themselves popular. :D

David Gaider: Can you say exponentially fucked? :lol:

Now, now...I'm not above getting a moron a job alongside other morons where they belong. And if they collect up with other morons, perhaps a meteor may conveniently strike their building. Or even more amusingly, a terminal rupture of the raw sewage lines under their building and geysers all...

I believe that with Tim's design philosophy, a truly enjoyable and worthwhile gaming experience will be made. WoW is quite simplified from what it was meant to be, as it was meant to offer many other ways of accomplishment instead of farming forever like Diablo 2 boss runs. The developer from...

Usually I'd agree, but this is a good find. :D

I'm surprised you guys have let a one-post moronic troll get this far. Too bad a few others seem to have benefited from the US Public Education System: "Todd Howard owns Fallout and is God so he thinks for me!" Fucking retards also think that anything with stats makes a CRPG. Get a clue...

It...did...in some form. It neatly sewed up the story arc, which was really needed, but the design was NOWHERE near what they wanted for the game. It was good, but once they got the engine down, they were kinda forced to ship the game or not at all, and thusly weren't able to make it EPIC...

You don't want to know my definition of CRPG. Then again, maybe you do. I have such a strict definition, because I know how to define games in the variety of genres that have been made. I've played them all. As much as I loathe hype and such like that, I will note there is a reason why I...
