    Playstation 4 Announced, Diablo 3 and more coming

    TheWesDude; Isn't there a weird semi-parallel process design that uses 2 layer ram use? In this case using 2sys+2vid to play the game and layer an additional 3(ish) gig expand the processed assets with additional layers (bumpmaps, AA, soft shadows, sound depth and so on)

    Aliens Colonial Marines - saddest shit ever?

    :( :'( Buhu! Now you made me sad. Why did you have to remind me incubation and the mehness that is new X-Com? Isn't it bad enough that I've been waiting more than 10 years for someone to put JA combat into Fallout or Fallout grade mini storyline(s) into X-Com (and overhaul the strategic...

    Aliens Colonial Marines - saddest shit ever?

    Use Xenomorphs for adrenaline and horror while using Corp to build the story and "adventure" aspects of the game. And seriously, W-Y directives were the main reason Science Officer Ash (the android) back stabbed the crew in Aliens (and probably caused the deaths of Parker and Lambert) and...

    Playstation 4 Announced, Diablo 3 and more coming

    Another yes and no question. Compared to PCs, PS3 has minuscule amounts of total ram but manages to support games like Uncharted via it's Cell (cpu&gpu) architecture. 8 gigs of DDR5 (if) used in a steamlined/dedicated manner may provide a very good output. But then again, PS3 is going to be...

    Aliens Colonial Marines - saddest shit ever?

    Crni Vuk; I kinda agree and disagree at the same time, let me try to explain. For me, in Alien and Aliens, Xenomorph(s) were the immediate problem in the vein of a forest fire or flood, it wasn't evil, it/they were the antagonists for the action bits. The real bad guy was always the Corp...

    Meteor strike in Russia

    There were a few reports that I came across, trying to find them again, claiming that a Russian missile defense installation tracked, locked and fired on the meteor in question and they had a probable intercept on it. Will surface again if I can find a reliable source.

    Playstation 4 Announced, Diablo 3 and more coming

    Meh... Sure it is better than a regular mid level 2013 pc atm, but those specs will fall to an equal level in just 8-12 months and fall below pc levels under 2 years. Besides, based on the config, it seems that ps4 games will be going for less but better defined/textured objects route...

    Aliens Colonial Marines - saddest shit ever?

    Yea, the combat gameplay has always been Obsidian's weak point but based on their combat work on AP, I think they could have produced an acceptable battle portion. Add some other human (huggable) factions alongside your gang of misfits to poach characters from (Corp Security (+Corp...

    Aliens Colonial Marines - saddest shit ever?

    It would have depended how the story was structured. Sure the aliens themselves would have been the immediate threat but with a little finesse and subtlety, Obsidian could have easily hidden a golden ending which required you to go off the beaten path, collect evidence and gear and then burn...

    I found this game much more enjoyable WITHOUT companions

    Multidirectional: Weird, I played most of Bloodlines as a close combat warrior. Then again I did nearly all of my killings with stealth kills and shotguns :P

    Killing Legendary Deathclaw (without relying on bugs)

    As Chiz noted, Bean bag is insanely effective if you have any. Bean it down then slug it. Drug yourself with +AP, +Damage, +AP Regen and +Crit then stealth snipe it to the head and have a minefield ready for worst case is another option. AM Rifle, Minigun, LMG, with AP ammo; Hunting...

    Are shotguns utterly worthless?

    Rev. Layle: I am not sure but they might be as I have seen damage bracket jumping around wildly in some cases. Erny: Except the riot shotgun, all of the shotguns are more suited to targeted shots (ironsights or Vats) then hectic real time run&gun parts.

    Are shotguns utterly worthless?

    Compared to the other anti-tank weapons (.44 magnum, mythical .45-70 Gov't, .308) shotguns offer a decent and cheap capability. A humble Single shotgun slug or two to the body is enough to send a tankscoripon to the great claw in the sky. After you gather a decent stash of 12 gauge...

    Fallout: New Vegas recommended mods

    "Realistic Headshots" may break your game if you play shoot&scoot type of character. It ups the scoped weapons' lethality to really high levels, making it possible to steamroll the most of game with 5.56 (Varmint or Ratslayer and That Gun). Also certain characters (Boone and Raul in...

    Do you think it's perfectly okay to dismiss Fallout 3...

    One of the main problems for me in FO3 was the writing. The open world, silent stories, exploration were all ok but whenever the game opened it's mouth, it was face-palm ville. The game shamelessly coasted on the "destroyed iconic places" and lots of unrelated large dungeons to keep you...

    "The First Flowers" Design Document

    This is a collection of rip-offs from a couple of games and discussions that I'm hoping to package into a little mod of my own. I guess a concept document of some sorts. This concept is more or less designed to suit my tastes so I would really like to see your suggestions and criticisms about...

    Level Cap - To easy?

    Some of the problem comes from the exploration "grinding". I didn't really notice it at the time but geckos are present in a lot of wasteland locations and they yield a lot of Xp compared to their ease to kill. (A gecko is equal to a Cazador at 50 xp per kill.) This (and other similar Xp farm...

    Is Charisma needed?

    Rev. Layle: "Nerve" gives %5 bonus damage and armor per each Cha point you have. Because of this, Boone, Raul, Cass and Arcade (from most efficient to least) can become very good tanks with a good armor (despite their AI limitations). *Lily doesn't have any DT so she might seem stunted...
