Duck and Cover

Never played CoD1, but this game seems like it sure as hell likes holding the player's hand. You've got indicators for direction of fire, grenades thrown near you, and even a fucking radar (?). Not to mention that you basically have infinite health, so long as you don't stay in the line of fire for ...

No.

Yes.

What pisses me off is that Bioware is apparently unable to take even slight risks with the game's plot when making X-BOX titles. You're "The chosen one" and you go out and save humanity from Sith/Undead Emporer guys/ or any other form of "ancient evil" because it's your destiny. ...

Ya, in FO1 I went with Energy weapons speech, and science. I suppose I'll exchange Energy for unarmed and get Energy weapons with the Tag! perk.

I dunno. As far as the general quality of the game, I'm confident but I'll make my pre-judgement after I've played Oblivion. As far as getting the Fallout liscense right, that's the hard part. While Bethesda seems dedicated to making a worthy successor to the other games, that's easier said then don...

the List is obviouly Liberally-biased, though I'd forgive it if he'd give Michael Moore a well-deserved spot on there. And bumped Coulter into like the top 10.

Hey, do you guys have any good tips for the early parts of Fallout 2? I've been having trouble because I tagged small guns for my weapon skill without realizing how scarce ammo would be. I suppose I should start over with either melee or unarmed. Which of the two do you guys recommend? And do you kn...

No it doesn't? He was cloned in 1990 along with liquid and solidus. But they messed solidus up and he aged more than the other two, it was mentioned in mgs2. Also, in the new game otacon only looks to be in his mid-40s while snake late 50s mabye. But before they looked about the same age. :SNAAAAAA...

Ladies, calm down... Bruce Lee... remember?

Has any real info been released yet? All I've seen so far is the announcement, some vague quotes from Kojima, and a bunch of speculation.

Steam gets way too much of a bad rap. I've rarely had problems with it. I don't see why people are so eager to piss all over something that with time and patience, could become the best thing damn since sliced bread. With a delivery service such as Steam, the product heads right from the developer t...

There are some good RPGs released thses days, though you might have to upgrade that Commadore64 to be able to run them. God forbid.

As for me, one of my greatest wishes for FO3 is a decent storyline, instead of some stupid "you're the chosen one, you're so special - so we're gonna send you out to get some amazing deus ex machina-type gizmo that'll help save us all!" One of the truly great things about FO1 were that yo...

Again bringing us back on-topic: I think setting the game somewhere else (other than the West Coast) would be a good idea. The Mid-West could be interesting, but that requires Bethesda to make some tough decisions regarding FO:T. Personally, despite the game's breaks with cannon, I still liked the i...

More 'background history feat' things. "I was in Nam' and that gives me +30% critical when shooting gooks." Best. Idea. Ever. Going back on (or rather, further off) topic, I had another FO3 idea... How would you guys feel if (God forbid) Bethesda actually took a risk and made Fallout 3's ...

I'll admit that without a world map there is the possibility that Bethesda COULD fuck it up like in Morrowind. (With constant load times between areas, and hell, everytime you walked into a goddamn house.) In the long run, I suppose it depends a lot on the new game engine. Hopefully Beth has learned...

Since FO 3 will be using Oblivion's game engine, I think it's reasonable to assume that Radiant AI will somehow be included too, which would certainly be an awesome addition. Although I'd be fine with some changes to some aspects of the character developement and such, keeping the SPECIAL system in ...
