Bringing this back on topic. Dutch Air Safety Board's report on the MH-17 disaster to be published tomorrow on the 13th. Though since the investigation solely pertains to establishing the cause of the crash, anyone expecting anything other than a hopelessly noncommittal answer as to the...

Not entirely new enemies per se a la instead of Geckos you were facing Deathclaws. More like the same enemy type just with more hitpoints and damage (i.e. Roboscorpion Mk V or something or other).

Have virtually zero interest in purchasing Fallout 4 at launch, but the fact that people are _that_ hung up on how the graphics look kind of made me put my head in my hands: http://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-4-bethesda-will-dial-back-graphics-in-favour-of-complex-systems/ I've said back in 2011...

As far as the LAV clashing with the '50s feel, might be worth remembering New Vegas had fairly modern AR-15 style rifles in the form of the Model 733 as the Assault Carbine and the Model 933 with very late 20th/early 21st century mod rails in the form of the Marksman Carbine in contrast with the...

At least that motion isn't going to pass without a fight: http://ria.ru/defense_safety/20150616/1071857278.html Translation of headline: "Lawyers in Russian Supreme Ct challenging Putin decree making peacetime Defense Ministry casualties a state secret."

No love for the .45-70 Govt. guns? The Medicine Stick (and previously, the Brush Gun, and before that, the Trail Carbine) combined with the Cowboy Perk tides me over until I can get the strength to use the Anti-Materiel Rifle (start the game with 3, get the Strength Implant, Weapons Handling...

I do not doubt for a second that this technology is not only the future for gaming, but for all digital entertainment. It's just that that future is 20 or 30 years from now, if that.

I absolutely adored The Void and Cargo (the smiley-face ubermensch gag still has me in stitches to this day). I do wish they could have made a spiritual sequel to The Void expanding on the character "Godsend." SPOILERS: For those that don't know, it is implied in The Void that this "Godsend"...

I have to wonder that if Bethesda Maryland under Todd Howard are banking on a gambit in which the bugginess of the Bethesda line of games cancels out the bugginess of the STALKER games, like when you multiply a negative number by a negative number. In which case, I think Todd Howard is going to...

This. Even the "great" point-and-click games mechanistically speaking are awful. For me, the example that stood out was The Longest Journey that my uncle had bought for my birthday one year (though he did introduce me to Betrayal at Krondor, TIE Fighter, and Jane's Longbow 2, so he gets a pass)...

I should hope that your Shepard is a reference to Enki Bilal's comic book series. If so: \m/

Considering that I really can't remember any moments that were laugh out loud funny for me in the first 2 Mass Effect games (save for maybe bringing Legion along with me on Tali's loyalty quest), that ME3 made me crack up twice is quite the feat. I wasn't a huge fan of the self-referential...

Flight sims typically don't have a manual coming with them anymore, save for the pdf on the disc or download. Of course, some do have a physical manual in a binder sold as a seperate product.

On the "Story Mode Combat," while I can see the logic behind it being suited for people like girlfriends who aren't that big on shooters or non-gamers who want to see what the fuss is all about, it still strikes me as extremely condescending. But give Bioware a bit of credit, at least they...

I don't have a very high opinion of Skyrim either, but when people I know personally talk about the game and ask for my thoughts, I usually politely reply that it didn't quite hold my attention for as long as it did for them, and say I've been spending more time with Shogun 2 and DCS: A-10C...

The difference being that my expectations of a sequel are usually informed by the game that preceded them in their *respective* franchises. For ME2, sure I expected the shooting to be a bit more refined, the abilities expanded, as well as making the planetary exploration better...

Besides the completely outrageous DLC situation and maybe the little overdone marketing and hype machine behind this game, this looks to be a massive improvement over Mass Effect 2. And I don't mean it as in a "But considering Mass Effect 2 was a seriously dumbed down shooter with wonky dialogue...

I think developers should be in no hurry to move on to the next generation. I think we've entered an age where games cost way too much to make than they need to, and I think if all the AAA games looked as good as Battlefield 3 does now for the next couple of years, the gaming public at large...

Wished that Bioware took a cue from Eidos Montreal when they did their dialogue wheel equivalent in DX: HR. I also wished that Bioware wasn't that in love with its Paragon/Renegade dichotomy. The nice thing about DA: O and Fallout: NV was that it took away the focus from the traditional...

I'm saying that gaming has outgrown the PnC genre. In the age where RTSes began to introduce mechanics that rewarded players for thinking laterally (Relic have been exemplary in this regard) and FPSes started encouraging team-play and planning beyond "shoot monster in the face," adventure game...
