Interplay managed to piss away it's sure winner in Black Isle and the best ever space combat franchise, so I wouldn't exactly trust Interplay with anything anymore. Oh and GTA 4 is out now for PC, so the frenzy for another 'champion' game has already begun. You'll see how quickly Fallout 3...

Price of Neutrality is good. It's an example of how much care the developer gave even a small 3 quest free add on, more care and detail in creating an entire map and dialogues and even this tiny addon had multiple endings!

Look at The Witcher or Gothic or Two Worlds and you can see that it's possible to make big towns in 3D filled with many people. Still smaller than in real life due to gameplay and hardware limitations but certainly far more impressive than Fallout 3's pathetic 'towns'. There is no real technical...

I've forgotten most of Fallout 3 already, and only finished it a couple weeks back. All I have is a lingering festering hatred of it, but for the life of me I can't remember almost anything about it in any detail. Whereas I still remember whole quest dialogues from the originals, the characters...

Interplay tend to screw up badly. How they could fall apart while having Black Isle on board I'll never know. They also had the best space sim franchise with Freespace and pissed that up as well. Besides getting a quest to kill 20 radscorpions in location X and returning for a reward before...

Well convincing the Master still required doing things before meeting him so that you had something to back up your arguments. In F3 you convince the 'big bad' to roll over and die on account of your 'strong' persuasive skills.

I saw them say they SOLD a million copies of Witcher a few weeks ago on some Polish game portal, and also on that same one it said that only a few weeks earlier did they start turning a profit. This is a success for a 1st time game studio from Poland with such a large budget. They also are...

Well I think that Geralt had a moral code with a sense of justice, as you can get Tess to tell you that you 'were' like that before you lost your memory if you pick that response. You are right about the maturity being in the plot, even the King who indulges in incest isn't a 'bad' guy, but...

DOF_power, well I don't like Apple either, the whole bunch of those 70's-80's entrepreneurs were particularly loathsome, arrogant bastards.

Actually k9wazere, I had raiders and monsters flee often on the playthrough of FO 1 I just finished a couple of days ago:) How hard could it have been to implement even this most basic of things into the 'Radiant' engine? Hmm, well the swearing and nudity in Witcher I thought wasn't...

Well I doubt that Bethesda has yet made anything on Fallout 3, especially on the PC. To illustrate why I think this I'll use The Witcher as an example. This game was made for $11 million or so. It took a sale of a million units to make a profit for the developers. Now The Witcher had a miniscule...

Well you'll see most Prima guides filled with all this padding to bulk up their guides. Probably it is made from the makers of the game being featured, but I'd say it's more like the type of info you get when a bunch of graphic artists come up with a character and joke around the coffee machine...

Grizzly, very good indeed. Though with the avalanche of Beth Fanbots on here lately, I don't know if 20% protection is enough.

Game looks like crap anyway. Don't understand the praise for the graphics, yet this is about the first thing Bethesda fanbots tend to mention in their praise for it.

gregor_y sure he earned it. Just like war profiteers earn their money too, it's all legal. Doesn't make it morally correct though does it? If you compare yourself to Bill Gates then it seems I can understand why you admire him so. I complain about his cynical behaviour, you love him. Such is...

You love Bill Gates, that's your problem. Don't tell me to show him respect. Anyone that make billions from exploiting slave labour then turning around and donating a few tax deductible millions for the poor to look like the second coming of Christ doesn't merit any respect from me. Oh and...

gregor_y, LIVE for Windows is a pile of shit that Micro$hit forced onto people. Forcing people to get Vista just to get DirectX 10 functionality is also a cynical and shit move. Fuck Bill Gates the hypocritical bastard: Packaging his software in third world sweatshops, then playing such a...

gregor_y, I don't blame the US for everything. Without Uncle Sam we wouldn't have Fallout! ;) As for new movies being made, well I'm in the business of looking after my 2 year old boy, which barely leaves any room for a game every now and then, never mind a movie!:) I just know that...

Good question AthasPrime, and a great example with Gothic. I don't think that Piranhna Bytes failed with Gothic 1 and 2. They had a lot of problems with the groups they were associated like Phenomedia and at the end Jowood. Without all these distractions they could have made a neat profit in the...

gregor_y was being sarcastic...don't worry.
