LOL, no way. VG addiction is such a holy virtue compared to violence... Addiction to games is great, as long as you like it AND have time to do some other things, like earn for the living.

[FURIOUS OFF-TOPIC MODE = ON] Again, we live in different countries. Have you ever been to Kazakhstan? Have you ever even heard this name? We have a VERY different situation with trade and stuff. What's freaking day-by-day routine for you, for us it's like some extraordinary thing. So, think before you post. [FURIOUS OFF-TOPIC MODE = OFF]

Never done FO2 in 40 hours.... I think it's too munchy to finish it that fast. I could spend A LOT of time in FO2 - that's why I love it so much. It's so endless... Especially the first time - so much to explore..... The more game hours the better, as long as it's interesting.

No matter what some say, I'm freaking happy that SOMEONE is at last MAKING Fallout 3! Yeah, I don't like Bethesda's previous games at all. Morr sucked... Daggerfall... well just not for my taste.... what else? Nothing. But Oblivion seems REALLY good, Not just the gfx (they are so phat that none of the current video cards can work well with them), plus the gameplay might be good at last. My point is that everything changes. Every company has ****ty games, even BIS has. But they can always change. That's my hope. And I'm quite sure that F3 won't be "Morrowind with guns". They just CAN'T mess up that much. I mean, it's ridiculous even to think about it. I say, give 'em a try. Don't set yourselves on hate right away. And combat? You know, I don't really give a damn. Yeah, of course I really enjoy TB and would be freaking happy if Beths pull it off. But at the same time I won't mind pseudo-TB (with pause), or even action-based. What matters to me is whether they succeed in retaining the Fallout atmosphere, dialogs and style. And make a good nonlinear story, of course. If they do, then I'll LOVE it, no matter what kind of combat system it will use.

Only with REALLY good AI. And that's FREAKING hard. With TB it's easier. Despite the fact that in some actions bots are pretty good (like in Q3 or Unreal), but still it's RPG, not a pure FPS, so it's much more complicated. Especially with light-sabers, where the computer, in the heart of battle, might accidentally hit you with lightsaber, while making some uber-combo. ^_^ But hey, that's even fun! ^_^ Always remember how in FO2 Marcus used to love riddling me with bullets, if I were in between him and his opponent. So, anyway, AI is crap everywhere, not only in action-based. There ain't no AI, anyway. It's actually the "Artificial Idiot".

Yeah, the first company - NIhilistic, prolly, - was kinda quick with Ghost and thought it was ready, but Blizzard (they sure know better) said that it ain't done yet, so they dismissed Nihilistic and found another developer: Swinging Ape, just at the time where they were between projects, and now they develop Ghost, under Blizzard's watchful eye. Plus, Swinging Ape's office is about ten minutes from Blizzard's, so it's convinient. Nonsense! Those patches are not for the bugs, really, but for getting rid of imbalance. SC didn't have any major bugs since 1.03. And you can't balance the game enough during beta-tests, imbalance will show up eventually after release. So, patches are a MUST. Blizzard has some of the most RELIABLE and BALANCED games EVER.

I heard that there is going to be the best melee-weapon (lightsabers here) duel in history... I wonder if they can pull it off. Well, I can't wait to see Anee and Obi demonstrate their skills... Anyways, I'm not waiting for something extraordinary or completely new tho.... It will surely look and feel like Ep2. And it's good. Having watched the trailer, I have to say that there is going to be more action than ever before.

Masterpiece... Although you misspeled the subj name: I thought you're refering to the whole setting, not only ot the game. I really liked some NPCs and the great story, and some REALLY FRIGGIN GENIUSLY MADE dialogs!

Of course Fallout series!! Better play both F1 and F2, but if you want to choose only one, then I say Fallout 2..... I dunno, but I found it more interesting. I just didn't like that time-limit and kinda of shrinked world in F1 In F2 I actually LIVED, walking it through countless times......

Sorry, no offense intended. Just got a lil angry with that crap.

Yeah, I agree completely, Mole. Blizzard sure knows how to do their games. And they really respect their fans. I haven't seen another company (no offense), who did SO MANY patches, even long after the release. So I have complete confidense in them.

Damn you're narrowminded...... I REPEAT: in RPG I value story/dialogs/atmosphere ABOVE ALL ELSE, so I have *NO* bias towards either TB or Action-based combat.... But in case of SW I just wanted to experience more action-based. Just my friggin' whim, alright? What's wrong with that?

Yeah, my Duron is pretty good for overclocking, I guess. But I'll have to improve my cooling system for that..... who said that my comp is new? I last upgraded it....say... 4-5 years ago...

Well, Volo started this ridiculous arguement, anyway. Alright, let's stop this crap and return to the subject of this here thread, shall we? Well, I still think that Troika is doing fine. Their new title is alone a proof that they are still in business. Perhaps some management problems, but I guess they'll overcome them quickly.

Hmm, but it's not RPG, is it? I'm not into arcades much, you know?

They prolly have a prejudice against post-soviet devs....

I'll suggest what I want to. I'm not for revolutions and stuff, I'm just saying what I would have done in their place. Just my taste.

hmm.... 1 Gz is minimum..... and I got 800 mhz....... damn... I hope it won't be THAT critical.

Oh, crap.... I checked the obsidian site only.... ALright, sorry.

Then, let's break this arguement. IF someone else has a different view on Star Wars RPG combat system, you're welcome. ANyways, I would like to see a SW RPG with combat system as a hybrid of JK:A and future Oblvion and Gothic3 concepts.

You can't come.... I'm too far away ^)

Hmm.... I fail to see any reqs for PC..... probably they haven't updated yet., since it's not actually released on pcs yet........ only day after

I'm not saying it can be avoided all the time. It's just that it's not that IMPORTANT as story, for instance. Say, could you stand an RPG with TOTALLY MESSED UP story, but just geniously made combat. Would you go for it? Anyway, I'm just saying that I would like to see something as Oblivion will offer in StarWars RPGs.... that's just me, tastes differ.

Volourn, you remind me of those anti-Napster activists... YOU DL MP3??? WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!!!!!

Yep, I think games help to get all your aggression out on them, not in the real world. That's why I don't like all those censorships... like cutting out gore and stuff.... Again, if the person is NORMAL, nothing will happen - it will even help him get off stress and stuff.
