Killian Kalthorne Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 A friend gave me a copy of Fallout 3 on the PC. I am pretty surprised by the performance on my crappy computer.

Setzer Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Our 50" is starting to feel too small. And now to pretend to stay on topic, two old pics of the 'certificate' for winning MM7 and MM8 back when I was trying to win the first with all lvl 1's (using only skill points from shrines in the game etc) and the latter for time-speed (game days). The speed one isn't a very great score but was ok for a first try. I don't think I'd even remember how to do it now. Oh man, I loved the Might & Magic series. Back when the 3DO forums were still around I posted there all the time. When they were developing Might & Magic VII, one of the devs posted there and picked several names people submitted to use as NPC's and mine(Brahein Kadarr) was one of them. Still have the game and my original save game files on CD....so here's a screenie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I love DICE. Did I mention that? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

Musopticon? Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Overlord Top ranks of minions, still zany and relatively mad. I love this area, great atmosphere. The Oberon fight ending with the emergence from Evernight to these Golden Hills was frankly the best moments so far. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

mkreku Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I finally gave the Drakensang demo a try. I kind of liked it. It's really complex and the battles are not very exciting (turn-based or something) but it has a nice atmosphere going for it. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Monte Carlo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) ^ Looks like a modded game of JA2.

Slowtrain Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 ^ Looks like a modded game of JA2. I say modded because of the purple / mauve ammo in the machine gun... don't remember that from the original. It is the 1.13 mod. Purple is the AET (Advanced Energy Transfer) ammo, which is available for some of the pistols and submachine guns. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

As long as it kept all the features of Jag 2 rather than streamlining the **** out of it. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

Monte Carlo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 With the greatest respect to CrashGirl, with whom I invariably find myself in agreement: How would JA3 made using the FO3 engine actually work? The whole point of JA3 is that it's a squad-based tactical game (note that I'm not dying in a ditch on turn-based, although I'd be tempted to). It's a bizarro suggestion IMO. JA3 would, on the other hand, absolutely rock using the Fallout: Tactics engine. FO:T borrows so many elements from JA that it's halfway there already. And it's a dead game... can you mod it I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's a dead game... can you mod it I wonder? It would be a pretty drastic departure from JA2, sure, but I can see it working on a few levels. First off, VATS works well, much better than I imagined. The basic idea of JA combat is you have a merc with certain skills firing at enemies, and VATS isn't a big leap from that. Implementing squads would be the major difficulty. But I imagine that the possibility exists that you could jump from one character to another in VATS. The explosives, traps, and lockpicking stuff all fit into the JA world very well. Implementing a strategic layer, such as taking over sectors, training militia, and allowing mercs to heal and repair could be possible. Imagine if every town you help became a base for your mercs, allowing them to do those things. Bigtown is actually a decent example, you helped strengthened that town, protected it from mutants, and got them to defend it themselves. Anyways, this is just a little fanboy fantasy, there isn't any real chance of it happening. I don't see why anyone would use the Fallout Tactics engine for a new JA game. JA2 ver. 1.13 is already better than FO:T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Carlo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I don't see why anyone would use the Fallout Tactics engine for a new JA game. JA2 ver. 1.13 is already better than FO:T. Hmmm, not visually. For a 2D isometric game FO:T is pretty good-looking, especially the environments and vehicles. JA2, and I love it JA2, is extremely ugly by comparison. I wasn't thinking in this day and age that any big commercial outfit would pick up an engine as dated as FO:T. Just wondered if it would be feasible for skilled modders to MacGuyver it.
