Dr. Boll doesn't care what you or anyone else thinks, and will continue to make awesomely craptacular VG to film ports, with the German taxpayers' money.

Who let you out anyway?

It is, actually. Moral absolutes are an illusion, and they are being redefined constantly. Who does that? Those with power. "Power" is not just a word. Go check your History if you need any proof.

This game is SO not going to run on my system.

Cool Volo, thanks for your input. You can go back to sleep now.

It does, actually. Just watch the news. Whatever lies you tell to yourself to help you sleep at ease change nothing.

Which text box? EDIT: oh right *the* textbox. Nevermind.

PROTIP: watch the trailer up to the point where the caption "FALLOUT 3" appears on screen, to find out the answer to that question.

Todd's decision to showcase Bloody Mess in the only(?) gameplay demo of the game so far is nothing short of retarded. And yeah, VATS seems to work on a split-second like mechanic. I hope they don't force the player to use it to defeat bosses or whatever. As for the AI, I'm thinking that maybe it's been toned down for the exhibit. I mean, they wanted to highlight how great it is to shoot stuff and have it die in generically gruesome ways. Other than that, the game looks very pretty and atmospheric. It remains to be seen how good the fiction turns out.

I don't know what were they trying to achieve with VATS, but to me it seems to break the flow and pace of combat. Which is a bad thing and may limit its usefulness. But since it's optional, it's as simple as not using it. The criticism about the AI is fair enough, but since the demo was played with cheats on, I'm not drawing conclusions yet. A dumb AI could be a big thumbs down for a game whose combat has been highlighted so much, that's true. Of course, the complete opposite (Clear Sky's insane AI) doesn't sound too fun either. I guess that no matter what, somebody isn't going to be pleased.

Never played CoD, but the trailer played EXACTLY the same as the few Clear Sky trailers I've seen. "Visceral"? Nondescript. It stands to reason that what they have shown are what they feel are the strong points of the game. Which probably means that the roleplaying and stealth options aren't anything to write home about. Funny though, that everyone is panning VATS, when it looks remarkably similar to a feature Obsidz has talked about, for AP, and which was unsurprisingly well received. Please, please. Teach me to doublethink like you.

Yeah. And that's why it's so sad.

By all means! Show us how you are NOT interested in this game, at all! <3 h8

The fatman thing is silly, but not too far-fetched. There are thermobaric munitions that pack a considerably stronger punch than what is shown in the trailer. And yes, they are shoulder mounted. The teddy bear thing is silly as well, but not much sillier than killing super mutants in one hit bare-handed, kung-fu style. And of course, what a retarded idea it is to give the player a hut! I mean, just look at Bloodlines for instance! OMG FAIL! You wouldn't be more predictable if you did it on purpose. Quaint. I take it you get your kicks from being bitter, then? Find another hobby man, you'll live longer.

Awesome, I hope it isn't changed That has the potential to become incredibly tedious and annoying, though. Healing potions were invented for a good reason...

Sand will buy it regardless. It's written in the stars since the game was announced.

Looks fun. The graphics are nice, and the gameplay seems pretty fast-paced and engaging. And if the Vault-Tec promo is anything to go by, the atmosphere will be pretty spot on. The third person camera is HORRIBLE, though. What's the point of having ~1/3 of the screen blocked by the PC's ASS? I hope it's adjustable. And I'm also beginning to fear that this game will have no dialogue whatsoever, and that's why none has been shown so far... Uh huh. Now try watching the trailers.

You'd be hard pressed to convince anyone that there's legal liability for anyone here - identity theft is relevant when there's a fraud, which isn't the case here. Reprehensible, probably. Illegal, not quite. But it's a fun little word to throw around, isn't it? And by helping keep the drama alive, you are most definitely not helping. So come off it, will ya?

That would make sense, if the bottleneck in the process was the beta testers finding bugs - which it isn't, as it's plain from the TSLRP Mantis. You DO like drama.

You are making the assumption that the game is console-only because of inherent differences in target groups, between console and PC crowds. That may or may not be the case, as other considerations such as development time and costs, market saturation and more that I'm sure that somebody better informed than myself could point out, also play a role. In short, you are still arguing from the stance that PC and console crowds are fundamentally different somehow, which introduces a bias in your reasoning.

Pretty, but insubstantial. That's why it's a "teaser", I guess... Supposedly, the merit is that it's done entirely with in-game assets. [quote name='H

You secure that talk man, we don't want this thread to be illegal in Australia. *eats sandwich*

Co-op. "Make it so!"

This isn't "zombie roleplay", at all! More like, regular person roleplay palooza. Go make me a sandwich, regular person #1.
