Two gameplay videos: http://e3.g4tv.com/e32008/videos/26926/E3_...eplay_Demo.html http://e3.g4tv.com/e32008/videos/26939/Han..._Fallout_3.html This game looks horrible, even without comparing it to the first two Fallouts.

It's... amazing. A fact sheet that doesn't contain the word "epic".

Agreed. Don't go the way Bethesda and BioWare chose to walk.

You can never be sure of such thing. After all major bugs are fixed, you release a public beta to hunt down the minor stuff.

By the look of things, the majority of bugs has been reported. Large beta team is simply not needed anymore.

3 months until release, and we still haven't seen any gameplay? But hey, it's going to be awesome, I read that in a preview.

Nope. Beta testers are the only ones who act like children and still can't get over the leak. The team doesn't participate in the drama and simply keeps working.

Warning: homoeroticism in this thread is reaching dangerous levels.

Rifles have the highest critical hit chance among all ranged weapons. Get Master Sniper Shot and Precise Shot V, and people will be dying really quickly.

Great, ****ty games should be outlawed!

Why? It's not like only deeply corrupt people who have no sense of decency whatsoever downloaded it. In other news, they are down to 9 bugs. Never underestimate the power of a well-placed shock pic.

I never said that, I said a potential problem of converting it into an open beta would be people reporting fake bugs, simply for the sake of being malicious. Damn, I can't believe that those open-source projects somehow get finished with all the pranksters around. No offence, but people have better things to do with their time than wasting it on sabotaging some mod. That is, people who actually have enough brain cells to figure out how to submit a bug.

See? I told you they had another project! Thanks for the link.

Around 35 years after the events of Fallout 2.

Yeah. The Enclave in FO2 was already more than capable of doing this, and in fact, it was supposed to happen if you fooled around with the computer in the nuclear reactor. The vertibird appearing proper was cut out, though. I may be nitpicking here, but the Enclave HQ were kinda blown up at the end of Fallout 2.

Thief 4 was hinted at several months ago. /off-topic

I'm a monster, Rawr!

Damn you, intarwebz, you win again!

I'll bite. There is one major difference between Diablo and games like Jade Empire, Mass Effect and Oblivion: Diablo doesn't pretend to be anything more than it really is. Last I checked, nobody claimed that Diablo is the pinnacle of the RPG genre.

Finally finished level 12. Avoiding being cornered and gang-raped by hordes of vortex lords was quite tricky.

The Summoner.

Replaying the original Diablo with a Rogue. The cathedral is probably the most atmospheric dungeon ever created.

It works well with Zeal. Paladin basically becomes a walking whirlwind of destruction, attacking everything around him at insane speeds. Sacrifice has a nice synergy with Zeal. +10% to damage when using Zeal for each point put in Sacrifice, AFAIK. Even on its own it can be a very useful skill, especially against bosses, but yeah, some caution is required.

Just put everything in Sacrifice, Zeal and Fanaticism.
