A Bukowski option would be interesting.

Built in webbrowser is just evil. It means I will never stop playing Civ 5. Ever.

The problem with voiced protagonists in RPGs is mainly one of resources. Voice work costs money, and if you decided to voice the PC, the tendency will be automatically to limit the different dialogue options and to shorten each response. Imagine if Fallout had a fully voiced prtagonist, for example.

More St Vincent this time in the form of an incredible Beatles cover.

This is unexpected.

Ubisoft: "Don't buy our game. Please!"

I have a 9800GT (meaning a 8800GT), which cost me 100

There's only one Portuguese guy at the Winter Olympics. He participated in this event.

Is this torture too? I've given baths to cats by hand, and they usually react like those cats inside the box.

I wouldn't say obsolete, but 4 did introduce certain benefits I can't live without, nowadays. Even if I spent more time with Civ 1 than with any other Civ. Still, there are a lot more game design differences between each Civ game than between Painkiller and Doom. Mainly because Painkiller and Doom's systems are much, much simpler.

I have played both. I finished Doom, even. They are not completely different experiences. Completely different experiences would be, say, Myst and Civilization. Other than for nostalgia's sake, I'll probably never play Doom again.

How is it different?

What makes you disagree, exactly?

I'm not saying games replace one another. I'm saying that, for certain games you have options. In fact not only do you have options but you have better options. For other games, there are no options. If you want to play a game like Thief, today, Thief is still, literally, your only option.

It's not exactly the same, it's better. It's Doom with better controls, better graphics, better sound, better enemies and better weapons

The core gameplay of Painkiller or even Half Life is still the same as Doom's. MotB hasn't replaced Torment, because it's a fairly different game, with different gameplay focus and design, and a different plot. It's not better, it's different.

It's still possible to play Doom and enjoy it nowadays, of course, but that doesn't change the fact that it has literally been improved upon in all areas by newer first person shooters. Fallout or Torment or Deus Ex or System Shock or Thief, on the other hand, are still as good as it gets in certain well defined respects.

I'd imagine the difference is that there are modern equivalents of Command and Conquer to play nowadays, while the same is not true for Fallout.

Moved to the correct forum.

It's a result of you appearing meek, open, non threatening, and genuinely interested. This may sound like a thinly veiled insult, but isn't. I'm essentially the same way. Most people are self involved, deaf bottom feeders, who literally have no interests whatsoever, beyond themselves. Hence, there's a lot of people with interesting things to say, who have no one to tell them to.

Wasn't Tiberium Sun the worst of Westwood's RTSes?

I wish my facial hair was that awesome.

HAHAHAHA.
