Years and years of letdowns and horrible announcements result in a certain hardiness (connotations intentional). An outsider could never fully understand.

A pity. It was a good memory and placing it in the correct compartment would further enhance it, especially considering that it perhaps could be reenacted.

Which tells us nothing of the migration rates. Information requires supplemental work. Or else

I find it appalling that insolence (which includes reluctance to respond to priority inquiries) of or even approaching this calibre is even mildly tolerated. :indictment: lol

EA's really looking to fuck some jobs over big time. They won't even sell one copy, therefore the developers are riduculed and never hired again. Then EA realizes they screwed over this liscense and sells it off for big bucks before other publishers start seeing the light.

Reminds me of the very worst optimists of the Fallout 3 "complainant choir", to borrow a term from nightmares.

Personally, I find it indicative of some benevolent, perfectionist, higher presence that hilarity has been so efficiently distilled into a container in the image of that most impious of vegetables. Almost.

In spite of this potential disappointment, perhaps Mother rather than Destroyer, the intent persists.

needless to say, the phrase "system shock 3" sounds almost as exciting as "Fallout 3", but what will becopme of these games only sewer midget know, which is a said, said truism.

Pretty much. Bioshock and the two new Warhammer games are the only things I've got even a borderline interest in.

I heard a rumour they're adding "But sometimes war does change." to the end of the Fallout 3 intro movie. I'll give it a 1 of 5 chance rating.

Capital offence warning is where it's at. May I suggest we forward it to them.

It's probably bullshit, even Bethesda wouldn't be that stupid (I bet they are actually going to disprove me now).

I'll just pretend it doesn't exist like Deus Ex: Invisible War or Thief 3.

oh come on don't put these three on a par. Thief 3 is decent-to-good, Deus Ex is poor, and FoBoS is utter crap; in fact, don't mention this abomination again

Ahem... third person mode.

It became like any other sneaking game when they included that.

Thief 3 provided me with another inside-joke to secretly gag at -- "AIMA' THIEF!" -- so technically I don't give a rats ass. It's sort of like Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, which is one of the shittiest movies I've ever seen, yet provided me with so many situtations to laugh at, that it's safe to consider it a prominent comedy, or, rather, a prominent farce. I'm pretty sure the same applies to a good number of worthless games, and, while I haven't played it in person, FOBOS might well be one of them.
