well.... I for one an really happy with this news. I was worried that with the X360 as the lead development platform that they would concentraite on texture that would fit in it's memory. It looks like that fear was not founded.. I am glad they took the extra effort to make the PC textures...

I can't remember where it is quoted, but it has been stated before that sections of the main storyline can be bypassed.

opps... my fault.. I misread your post.

I really like the ability to talk the guy out of trying to explode the bomb. I find it funny the immediate response to this is "Oh.. I bet this is the ONLY place that you get such an exclusive option". Really guys? BN.. that you too. I find that extremely pessimistic. Sure these types of...

On the minigames.... This time I think they did a great job with them. They actually are a pretty close analogy to the activities that they are based on. At least in presentation. Even in Bioshock.. I enjoyed the hacking minigame. Maybe most of you don't like the minigames, but I think...

Well... there WERE gurps fans.. I think it has pretty much faded away.. but what do I know.. I haven't seen/played any of that stuff in years. I was more of a Car Wars fan.. but had and knew gurps so the game sounded pretty cool when I first saw it promoed in PC Games or whatever magazine it was...

That's a load of shit.. I was greatly anticipating Fallout before it came out. Many of my friends at the time were too. Now the game was good.. so we were right to anticipate. But to claim it was some super sleeper hit is not accurate in the least. Sure it didn't sell HUGE.. but most RPG players...

I also wanted to note about the percentages, that the build that was leaked as many know was pretty old (August or July, I forget). So it's entirely possible it was one of the demo builds or may have a bug affecting the actual hit rates. I would also point out that the french reviewer also...

You took the words right out of my mouth... err. fingers.. I just finished the new star wars game that used that and having played the new GTA that also uses that, I love the way characters react when that engine is integrated. You can do so much more with it. I was playing last night...

On the subject of "Have they learned of not..." I think they made several large strides forward. One of my main problems with Oblivion was procedurally created content (yes I know this is a legacy of even daggerfall and the rest), I really don't like the randomness of it. Not that that...

I don't see how this is any more silly/wierd than "Mysterious Stranger" Edit: Oh look I got a strike.. Yay!

Wow... An arguement about which is better was NOT what I intended when I posted those stats... For myself I purchased the PC version of Fallout 3. What I meant to show is that the market has shifted signifigantly, while someone pointed out WOW revenue.. yes that game has pulled...

Wow.. the comments earlier got me thinking about the demographics of game players and what not.. I looked at the ESA's latest "Essential Facts" industry statistics that they release every year. http://www.theesa.com/facts/pdfs/ESA_EF_2008.pdf I guess it has been a while since I have looked...

No.. the demographic has been skewing older and older.. I myself was a pc gamer through the 80's and 90's.. and now play on the PC and my PS3. While older gamers might not play as much as they used to.. often they still buy quite a few games.. we can easily afford it now. UncannyGarlic...

congratulations.. you just saved me a post.. took the words right out of my mouth.

I don't know.. I don't think we have seen a plama weapon death, and as far as I know, they only showed the laser death once. I am guessing at a minimum, the things we have not seen are: Plasma Flamethrower I have a feeling there are at least a few more, but it's late and I can't think...

Well I know they are not as "fancy" as the original fallout deaths, but one of the main things that limited them was that the new deaths in Fallout 3 are location specific. I do hope they have something special for a critical torso shot. Also I have not seen a "burst" death.. wonder if they...

Nobody is going to say anything about being able to target a grenade on someones belt? That is something I haven't heard before. I love the idea though. Talk about a trick shot.

GamerEdie, Don't be lulled into the misconception that everyone agrees on the the "core" arguements either.. Quite a few people disagree with what others view as Fallout 1/2's "core features" were, and as such are not quite as hostile towards the direction it's development has taken. (or...

True.. and I think if they dropped SPECIAL altogether is wouldn't be as valid an arguement. SPECIAL is still there and it still affects combat (and non-combat). Now, the mechanics have changed (drasticly in run and gun). But they are still the foundation on which the caracter abilities are...
