Explosions of screenshots straight to your eyes!

Is it just me or does the textures look flat? Were is the bump mapping? It look more like Resident Evil 4 on the ps2, than a mythical next gen game.

Having to visit the Doc for crippled limbs is just a part of Fallout's whole choice 'n consequence. Fun shouldn't factor into it.

Goddamn Primacy of Fun.

It's a principle no game company is really going to follow these days. I mean, when the Civilization guys talked about 'Dropping unfun legacy (pollution, rioting, maintenance, corruption/waste)' between 3 and 4, I knew things weren't looking good. Though I've yet to play civ4 so I don't know how much they lived up to that...

I remember when I got a crippled limb (I don't remember how) in fallout 2 and discovered I needed to actually find a doctor. I don't remember where it was but I ran through two bleedin' towns where I couldn't find any help. It was frustrating in a way but...that small little bit of realism was an added experience I won't forget. The 'choice and consequence' were a part of the very unique, entertaining, intelligently-crafted FUN.

It makes me wonder...how did the idea that these things are bad for gaming develop? Did people really complain about having to do this kind of stuff, or deal with it? In civ3, did fans bitch about corruption/waste to force them down that path? Did all the masochists simply migrate to the MMORPGs?

Okay, the last is facetiousness. Maybe.
 
ive seen a disturbing decline in challenge in games over the years. hell... most people dont even remember how fucking incredibly difficult those 8-bit-bastards were (take a look in the gaming forum for that, "rock-hard gaming experience" or sth like that). since most things in life are way easier than everybody says, i do like a challenge when it comes to games. i loved condemned. i play stalker on hell. i play opflash on veteran. in short, my e-peen is as big as pope vipers rl-schlong.

i wont be as bold as to demand that everybody should play games that way, but at LEAST i demand that i might customize games i love to be as hard as possible. which means, i HAVE to play fo3 without vats at all.

anyway, im gonna stroke my e-peen a bit on warsow now, since this is one of the weekends where theres noone around to stroke my real... but i digress.
