I have a feeling melee was designed around VATS, because in realtime it's too chaotic. You just run towards your opponent at full speed (so he doesn't shoot you to pieces before you even reach him) and then you click like a maniac on the attack button, all the while spinning around trying to see where your enemy has gone. Because of the first person perspective you end up so close to everything that you lose bearing and can't even see who you're fighting. It usually ends abruptly with you still violently clicking away on your mouse and a slo-mo scene showing a shower of mutilated body parts spraying the landscape.

I dreamt I got fired from my job the other night. When I woke that morning I didn't know if I should go to work or stay at home because I had been fired. It was very unpleasant. I had not been fired.

I got the refund. IN YOUR FACES, DOOMSDAY PROPHETS

With a jaguar slowly hovering by in the background.. Boiling Point had the advantage of being so unpolished it was constantly hilarious though!

I love to be proven wrong! See how easy that was? Your turn, Purkake.

Ban this sick filth!

OK, it is now December and the 6970 is nowhere to be seen. I AM DISAPPOINT

Where's Ronald 'Ray-gun' Reagan when you need him?

Well, feel free to explain why voiceovers make you not even read the dialogue in a RPG. If you would have written that you listened to two words, I would have understood, because then you probably just read faster than the voiceovers can speak (like most of us do). But you specifically wrote that you only READ two words, the voiceovers aren't even audible, before you click away the dialogue. Why?

Use a carrot, not a whip.

exactly. I read the first 2 words of the dialogue and click, takes a second, more often I just click through 'til the answer options show up. usually characters don't even get a chance to say a single word. voiceovers are the biggest waste of developers' time and money So you read the first two words and then click away the dialogue.. and you think the voiceovers is the problem? The problem is that you're playing the wrong game. If you play a RPG and don't even bother to read the text, you probably should find a genre better suited for you, voiceovers or not.

The thing that bothered me the most about the voice acting was how they had these one-liners that were dependent on where you were in the main quest line. All of a sudden all the NCR soldiers started saying the exact same thing, for example, "I heard we took back Nelson, maybe we can win this war after all". But what was weird, to me, was that every soldier said the exact same thing, despite having different voice actors. I could click on a female solider and she'd say her main story one-liner, then I'd click on a male soldier and he'd say the exact same thing, word for word, as the female soldier, but with a different voice. When they went through the trouble of having the different voice actors record all those one liners, couldn't they have put a note on the one-liner manuscript saying "improvise around this"? Just let different people word it slightly differently, like we do in real life. Hearing everyone say the exact same sentence, over and over, was very creepy.

I wrote them as soon as I realized my mistake.

But I don't even like Star Wars..

I'm also in the hunt for a new (relatively speaking) car. Been eyeing this: http://www.blocket.se/stockholm/Audi_A3_Sp...m?ca=10&w=2 It's small, expensive and German. JAWOHL!!

Anyone want to take bets? North Korea starting a war with South Korea or "pre-emptive strikes" from all the lighthouses of democracy in the world starting a war. Which side would you bet on?

Jesus ****ing Christ. It's like you can gloss over that mass murder because the whistle blower whistled the democratic way (according to you). No mention that your precious government, who is supposed to be acting oh so democratic, hid the disaster for 18 months and that it took a WHISTLE BLOWER to expose it. And even then, only one guy was convicted.. for 300-500 dead people. He must have been very busy. Back then, the soldiers who did not want to participate in those US sanctioned murders of women and children were derided and called unpatriotic, cowards blah blah. In hindsight and thirty years after the fact, they are being given medals. In 20 years Assange will be getting medals, you will deride him now, turn your coat and call him a hero then.

Hey, feel ready to share a picture of your gigantic games library now? No? So on "gaf", if you're a pirate and is honest about it, you get banned, but if you're a pirate and a liar, like you, you're home free? That gaf place sounds lovely.

Oh. My. God. I was very tired last night and saw Knights of the Old Republic for

IGN is just guessing. I would assume at least a late 2011 release judging from the lack of hype so far.

Already done it! I love mazes. Also, these mazes were really good, as they all had something leading you through ( ). But yeah, the end was somewhat abrupt and anticlimactic.

Really? Feel free to back it up with links/facts or stop spreading this BS. 1. If this was true, then Wikileaks wouldn't exist, merely because there would be no need for it. 2. If nothing is new, why would anyone care about it? 3. It damages nothing of the sort. Perhaps it will teach government figures to address each other more respectfully?

The Rhino hide is a quest reward. Right now I'm using Skirmish armour, but I can't remember if I can use bows with them on. I know they give me worse accuracy, but I don't think they actually stop me from shooting.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. I found another dungeon (filled with large scorpions, poisonous as all hell) where I climbed ever upward in winding tunnels, until I ran into a large circular room. The bottom of the room was filled with water, and I had entered it from a ledge above, perhaps 30 meters up. On the other side of this room I saw another ledge, and in the water below I noticed pieces of a bridge that had fallen down, and I saw the remnants of the bridge on my side. naturally, I became obsessed with finding a way of crossing the abyss and reaching the other side. After falling down ten times, I cleared an old cart that was standing near the edge of the abyss from barrels (you can throw barrels around using the physics), sprinted on top of the cart and managed to fling myself over, only to be greeted by.. nothing. One scorpion put up a half-hearted fight, there was a tunnel that was a dead end and nothing else. It was very confusing.
