So, Bloody Mess is indeed a perk now. If I had known it back then, I might have submitted something to that contest of theirs.

Uh, sorry? I thought I had responded in kind. Both Diablos so far had very little characterization and writing as a whole, but I think what was actually there was awesome. Between the characters' one-liners (like the Necro's "too many empty graves") to the tomes you'd find (such as the Book...

Diablo 1 is actually responsible for some of the best player quotes ever.

... wow. It had crossed my mind that Bethesda's drones would try to undermine Diablo 3 based on "innovation" to sustain their lame argument against iso. What never even ocurred to me was that the fucking PRODUCER would be stupid enough to come out and do it. Bravo, Beth, you're just as...

This would be extremely unnerving if I didn't think he's just comparing it to Oblivion's factions system. Pete used to be better in phrasing his bullshit. Yep, now that's more like it. Compare that to how he answered the Q&A to SuAside, though, and it paints a pretty accurate picture for the...

I'm very comfortable with the thickness of my e-skin, it sees me unscathed through 4chan and it doesn't get much worse than that. But I quite like the fact that NMA is NOT 4chan, and there are actually rules against trolling here. The reason it's easy to forget is that you go out of your way...

And what exactly would your point be? First you say the analogy is invalid, now you say that Diablo 3 may not be a faithful sequel. Which one is it? It looks to me as if you're having quite a lot of second thoughts there, so I wouldn't say that. Nice trolling, though. First, even though...

:clap: New fans? Not likely. Hell, I still play Diablo 1 on occasion (I find its gothic horror atmosphere way cooler than the sequel's), and both of them are without a doubt among the best roguelikes around. It should be noted that both are RPGs as far as most people are concerned, and...

Wow, that was quick. Hasn't been a day since the game was announced and Bethesda's already taking flak because of it. It should be fun to watch their drones trying to discredit Diablo 3 for not taking the "innovation" route.

Make it two guys then, because I found that summary quite accurate :P. Then again, I've never liked anything written by Garth Ennis. You should check his next comic for more grossly oversimplified goodness, this time with The Sandman. About this Bloody Mess as a perk thing, I seemed to recall...

Well, considering Todd's professed love for comics, I wouldn't rule out a Preacher-style ending just yet. But my money's still on Daddy. First he leaves the vault, prompting your quest (Alpha and beggining stuff: check), develops a Messiah complex like Richard Grey (fundie background...

Hey there, mr Milner, and welcome. Kudos on your thesis, I found it well-written and representative of most fan-developers interactions out there, though maybe you should look into Blizzard and their Starcraft 2 for more positive case studies. Well, even if a true consensus is kinda...

Hear me, for this I say unto ye: I have foreseen the future, and Liam Neeson shall be last boss. I'm betting on a lame rip-off of the Master, what with all the thirst and fountains of life going on in there. Yeah, the stealing mechanics were pretty lame. But with most other skills Fallout...

True, but that's only from our "Fallout fans" perspective and all that it entails, such as wanting the best direction possible for the series. I'd say that is the single reason why we concern ourselves with such things as Fallout 3's sales and Bethesda's wallet, really. Now, it seems to me...

You mean they plain ripped that article off? Wow, these guys just might beat Limbo of the Lost on the "stealing shit" category. And what an impressive load of shit it is. This guy (whoever it is or might originally have been) is able to write two entire paragraphs of pseudo-philosophical...

I think that both this and the first Batman movie were simply visual inspirations for the Fallout setting. Batman has the Art Deco architecture, Hard Boiled has a lot of retro-futuristic elements that reek of the 40's and 50's, such as the cars, guns and outdoors. Can't see any similarities...

One small step for the Toddler, one giant leap for pure-FPS Failout. Boo-fucking-hoo. You invited that issue by turning to FP, Todd, might as well show some balls and actually challenge your audience for once in your life - and theirs, I would imagine. First that "less than people think"...

I didn't quite read it like that, to me it seems that Perception will only be tied to this enemy-detection function, not the compass itself. Note how Pete first says that it "gives you a general idea in which direction you're heading", then procceeds to stating that it shows nearby enemies and...
