:D Come to think of it, Van Damme movies made a strong case for turn-based fighting.

A joke, I hope.

First one has a more coherent world. In second one you're supposedly a Big Daddy but you get hurt just as easily as a regular human. Pfft.

FO:T has stunning isometric sprites in it. Wish I could use them commercially without getting sued. Yeah, you're gonna have to run it inside a virtual machine of some sort.

Extending combat mechanics to vehicles could be its own kind of nightmare.

I do wonder about multiple weapon skills. It seems that Fallout1/2 taught us that it's better to stop trying to separate them, because some of them become extinct later, and yet you wasted points on them (i.e. Small Guns). It's all pretty much about highest tier weapons skills in the...

I can't judge how the game looks from an isolated screenshot, and also gameplay is more important than visuals. However I have trouble believing that content-wise this game is nearing completion.

I haven't posted this here or on IndieDB yet, because I was preoccupied in the past few days... :lol: It seems I have to keep mentioning every single time that Shelter is not a mod of anything. It was even mentioned at the end of the Codex post you're referring to. Shelter to Fallout...

"Back to isometric" is a red herring. Fallout: New Vegas is crippled by the Gamebryo engine (crap graphics style, crap combat, crap travel, crap inventory/UI, no indoor/outdoor transitions which were pioneered by Tribes in 1998) and dull writing. It is still incomparably better than...

New Vegas is actually leaps and bounds ahead of FO3 in terms of its usage of stats. You see, there's a difference between just displaying numbers on the screen and actually making them affect gameplay, and Fallout 3 did the former while New Vegas does the latter. Fallout 3 is also literally...

Fallout 3 is too railroaded to be considered open-world in any meaningful sense, most stats don't mean anything so "roleplaying elements" is a stretch, and there's no Fallout "theme" present except for a poorly aped collection of Fallout concepts without context or purpose. A mess.

Another TotalBiscuit fan here... I also follow Yogscast 2 (Hannah), Jesse Cox, Angry Joe, TUN (tasteful understated nerdrage), and Errant Signal (who does the best analysis of them all).

Same thing that is wrong with me, if that's any consolation. I do play other games, but a few games like Fallout 1 and Battlezone 1 have permanently upped my expectations on atmosphere and immersion of gameworlds. And games like Batman: Arkham Whatever get boring quickly because the narrative...

:lol:

In regards to realistic retainment of technique in a post-apocalyptic world, I do believe Brother None is closest to the truth. If you didn't learn a traditional style before the apocalypse, or if it hasn't been passed down generations in a Vault, it's going to be pretty dead. Nobody will...

Claiming that a TKD-trained, thus physically advantaged with understanding of kicking and punching distance and increased spacial awareness, person would die almost immediately in a post-apocalyptic world, filled mostly with the untrained or "street trained", is complete garbage. Sorry you...

I purposely front-loaded the post as to eliminate the need to repeat myself in further replies. If all you have to show for it is a stupid one-liner, then so be it.

Anyone who practices martial arts for a long time has a considerable advantage over an untrained, unathletic hoodlum. And TKD is only "retarded" within sterile and artificial rules of the ring, just as many other TMAs have a whole arsenal of technique which is vital in reality yet 100%...

In later games this kind of wacky content stopped being easter eggs and became commonplace. That is the key difference, and it is a big one.
