  1. But that's only one of the very many reasons why I no longer pay attention to the supposedly "canon" developments because they read like fanfic to me anyway, no matter how many stamps of approval Lucas puts on them.

     

    Some of the Expanded Universe is great, though, particularly the two KOTOR games! :aiee:

  2. Instead of looking at it so negatively... can't we just say it's a great mix between fallout and oblivion and enjoy it for what it is?

     

    They could, yes.

     

    Ha, you must be new. CrashGirl is a dude.

     

    It's the misleading name. People think I'm a woman all the time as well.

     

    Wait... are you being serious or sarcastic?!?! Because I have 'known' you for perhaps a year now (including time spent on BioWare boards) and it has never once even occured to me that you might be a man. That is not to meant to be insulting, it's just a statement of my assumptions...

  3. Oh great, I find this thread NOW, 10 minutes after I ordered Mass Effect :grin:

     

    IT WAS CHEAP

     

    Well you'll probably enjoy the 15 or so hours of the main story line.

    Just don't blink, or you might miss it.

     

    I have not played Mass Effect because of the draconian DRM (DDRM). Nevertheless, I am surprised that the main story line only takes about 15 hours. BioWare games were usually longer than that in the past.

  4. It uses the same engine, albeit upgraded. I heard the engine is very well optimized and scales really well, which is always a good thing. :lol: That also means that if you can run Oblivion you may well be able to run Fallout 3.

     

    It'd probably be wiser for me to wait then, I barely got Oblivion to work on my comp ;)

     

    Yes, in that case it is probably better to wait. Of course, upgraded also probably means 'more optimized', but still...

  5. Hmm, I hope my new computer arrives soon, since you are all fueling my excitement with your discussions!

     

    I have a horrible computer for games (integrated graphics card) and it runs great.

     

    Hmmm... if a computer can handle Oblivion, could it also handle this game?

  6. Hmm, I hope my new computer arrives soon, since you are all fueling my excitement with your discussions!

    That may well be, but my current computer does not meet the minimum requirements in very important ways. It is simply too old. My graphics card not only does not have the minimum 256MB of Video RAM required, but it is also not compatible with DirectX 9c, which is used in Fallout 3. I have had experience with running games below the minimum requirements and sometimes they work OK, but it is not the case this time. On top of that, the computer is suffering from power-supply problems and is on the verge of self-destruction altogether. It switches off randomly and often refuses to start up again - I have tried numerous things to fix it, but it is too late for it - I need a new one - this is now impacting not only games, but more importantly, my ability to do work on the laptop.

     

    Before you ask... as much as I am looking forward to it, I did NOT get a new computer nor decide on the timing of the purchase for the sake of playing Fallout 3!

  7. I enjoy his often negative approach, even if it is something of a shtick. Its a refreshing change of pace from the usual ball washing reviews these days. I'd like to see more reviewers take a more brutal, no-holds-barred approach to game reviews.

     

     

    And I have to say that a lot of his reviews of games I've played often make good points. Even when he insults games that I enjoy, I'm often in agreement with his points.

     

    Well, I have a very different taste than he does, but I love the entertainment value regardless of what game he is bashing! ;)

  8. I will wait for the DVD version to make it to the stores, since the downloadable version is likely to need online activation to work.

     

    same, and from DVD you can install it whenever you want, and you do not need to pay extra to be able to download it later than 30 days from purchase ;)

     

    Yep - and it won't expire on you after the downloading service with the activation servers goes out of business. :lol:

  9. I just found out STALKER is coming to Gametap next month. I'm pretty excited about that, I always meant to pick it up, and now I don't have to.

     

    Clear Sky or SoC?

     

    Strix, how did you manage to turn the picture into your sig? I would like to do the same if possible... and with the same picture! :lol:

     

    This should work:

    *Remove these.

     

    Thanks! :lol:
