Everything that is old is new again. Seriously, people have been playing games that consist of taking turns for many thousands of years. It's not about to be killed off the cpu.

It depends how much dumbification the remake is (would be) subjected to. Yes, I really want to play the same game for the 4232th time. No thanks, new story or bust. lol. wut? This is video gaming, THE INDUSTRY. Everything is redone, remade or just kicked out for the umpteenth time.

Hmm. Would you rather have Obama or Palin as President? Understand I am no particular fan of Obama's, but the idea of Palin as President seems appalling to me.

It depends how much dumbification the remake is (would be) subjected to. How about like I said before: Van Buren style: fully 3D (think Troika's , 360

Thanks, DR. that was a great mini-review (or not so mini). It seemed as if you feel it is a decent enough console-shooter that sort of plays on the remnants of the first game but doesn't really do much beyond being a shooter. Which may be enough, if that is what one is looking for. edit: the RPS review Pop linked offers a remarkably similiar judgement to yours.

Smoking is totally gross and makes me sick when I have to smell it, but big buses and trucks with bad exhaust are much much worse. Its not even close.

I'd settle for not being able to carry around hundreds of stimpacks, reedcuign game play to nothing more than a war of attrition: whomever has the most stimpacks wins. As a rule I dislike health regen in games, but it would help FO3 a lot if it had regen instead of stimpacks, with regen rate dependent on your endurance and possibly meds.

Well that's something at least. Now they just need to get rid of the retarded carry-around-5-miniguns-for-repairs mechanic.

I'd play it. It's pretty sad that what was pretty much standard gameplay stuff a few years ago is now considered "hardcore" mode. But that's what happens when the kind of people who would have only a few years ago played with barbies and footballs are noe playing computer games, especially crpgs.

Finishing the game. lol. OK, you win that one.

What did you think of the combat in the first game?

This should be renamed non-stupid retard n00b mode. That would be sweet.

You could actually die in FO3? How, precisely? Running off a cliff, I suppose.

Don't group your squaddies. Heh, I did have one of those on a terror mission, where on turn one an alien threw an explosive at the door of my ship and killed about 7 guys at once. The mission where my party got wiped was rough because I was doing quite well. I'd taken out 5 aliens on a downed small ship and lost two at the start as I exited the ship. I was moving into position to breach the ship. I went in and ended up facing three aliens, I took out one but the interrupt killed my soldier. I decided to regroup at that point, but as I was positioning one alien came out of the ship. He was a baddass and could not miss, and I couldn't get an interrupt. He took out 3 more soldiers. I had two on a roof top, so I started moving them in, but one panicked. The calm and cool one got shot by some alien off in a field somewhere, and my cowardly guy got shot running back to the ship. lol. As is the way of XCOM games; once things start going bad they always seem to snowball into total catastrophe. I love that about them.

Awesome news. Can't wait to get this game. Everything I've heard about it has been good.

My take exactly. XCOM 1: Overall the most fun. XCOM 2: Far and away the most difficult Apocalypse: best tactical combat stuff

They weren't interesting critters the first time around; unlikely they will be interesting the second.

Why developers keep feeling the need to recycle old ****? SUpermutants? Geckos? Please. Its about as interesting as a pair of old socks.

Reading the article Hell Kitty makes me a lot less interested in the game. ANother linear FPS. WIth monsters. Oh well.

The face looks like it was made in the Oblivion character creation program. It's completely broken.

Don't group your squaddies.

The bald dude is more attractive than the doll. >:

Yes. Based on a novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. According to Wikipedia, anyway.
