    Why do so many people here think First Person excludes RPG?

    Eh Herr Mike this whole "just don't do/use that" self limiting is really a non solution to me. It's like excusing the devs for WHATEVER. 'Oh this aspect sucks? well don't exploit the situation by doing this that or the other thing' Come on. At what point do you stop pointing at yourself for the...

    Why do so many people here think First Person excludes RPG?

    I think it was more about strategy and tactics more than anything but I only have experience with F1 demo so I can't comment further. The combat in F3 is most definitely NOT challenging with any of the stock settings for me. Only after I have it on very hard PLUS I had to add a VATS mod which...

    The real issues with Fallout 3, in my opinion.

    City States, agriculture, water, radiation, stupid survivors I will make this some what brief since I haven't had breakfast yet. Just some ideas I wanted to express. I'm no expert on Fallout lore or timelines but 200 years after a nuclear war if everybody is still in the state that they are...

    Fallout Developers Profile - Brian Freyermuth

    Very cool interview/guy. Some of his quotes I'd like to comment on: Well so far from what I've played I can't really agree fully. Sure it is desolate but the locations are extremely repetitive + the soaring 'wonderous journey' ORCHESTRAL music DOES NOT make me happy. Apocalypses need dire grim...

    [Release] Inebriation - Drunk and Hallucinogenic Effects

    I would just like a mild visual "buzz" effect that lasts the duration of the time you are receiving stat effects from the alcohol. Just something to depict my buzzed/drunk state & increase immersion but not so extreme where I'm seeing double & triple as if I just drank a jug of wiskey and am on...

    Why do so many people here think First Person excludes RPG?

    That's why any co trying to fuse the 2 needs to think long and hard about how to do it right. F3 is just a mess IMO. RPG doesn't have to die with a FPP game BUT certain abilities/skills will have to be scrapped in order to not make the game idiotic. Other skills/abilities will need to be re...

    Anchorage screens and Q&A

    Every old guy I've seen so far looks like Ed McMahons descendant. They sound very similar too. Oh well you know who cares about unique believable NPCs really anyway...I mean shit now beth have to hire all these new voice actors n stuff? Plus force the artists to kick out more unique...

    I think Fallout 3 is better than Fallout 2

    Or apparently making a visually different character to stare at in 3rd person and gawk at. Those 2 superficial reasons alone add infinite replayability most definitely. F3 is the super deep RPG game you just can't get enough of.

    Character-less PCs

    That's one of my primary aspects about F3 which I cannot stand. I will freely admit I am NOT well versed in RPG games. Most games I have are either FPP shooters of various types or horror adventure types (Silent Hill, Nocturne etc). My experience with RPGs mainly comes from FF7 (I know not the...

    Character-less PCs

    Hey I got no problem with that editorial. Any editorial which focuses on things like dialog, story & quests when talking about what is supposed to be an RPG game I'm not going to tear apart even if I don't think exactly the same way as the reviewer. The guy isn't talking about VATS & MTFBOOM...

    Fallout 3 hate backlash

    Disagreeing is fine....I just can't stand ignorance. If somebody who I don't think knows wtf they are talking about starts telling me why this that or something else is awesome I'll say "and you are?". I'm sure a toddler might think candy canes are 100% awesome food group but that doesn't mean...

    Fallout 3 hate backlash

    lol, that's what really makes me stagger at the ignorance of some. I mean to somebody who is used to console games probably F3 pipboy seems perfect if you play on a console since console games menus are designed different from PC due to controller differences. I just laugh at these kids. They...

    Fallout 3 hate backlash

    OMG somebody talk to this guy!! I think he's having a breakdown! SO....if the pip boy is the most thought out aspect of the game (supreme unintentional hilarity) do you realize how you are unknowingly acknowledging the critics complaints in saying that?(double reverse self-voiding biscuit burn)...

    Why do so many people here think First Person excludes RPG?

    I'm not good at explaining certain things. I know that there is no perfect game that satisfies everybody but my point is that I'm tired of par for the course game making. I don't want par, I want a hole in one.

    Why do so many people here think First Person excludes RPG?

    Re: Why do so many people here think First Person excludes R My crazy idea is to combine a tactical FPS shooter with most your physical "skills" entirely dependent on your ability. Then lay a deep, branching INTERESTING, consequential (path decided by your choices) storyline where "side" quests...

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #93

    Eh,...these "reviews" are "slightly" irritating. Some of the things mentioned are accurate and not off base but other things are just mind bogglingly insulting to gamers such as me. Some people might have got into a lost shipment of Jim Jones kool aid. Whatever..

    1UP interview with Emil

    Ah, ok. Yeah I know exactly what you are saying. But hey with all the space they saved using shitty low res console textures that should make more room for better voice dialogs. Or like you said just stick with text and knock the file size down to a non issue. But I know about audio codecs...

    1UP interview with Emil

    Yeah there is an 80 character restriction in the text. For what reasons I can only guess, such as the larger size of the font used the less space there is so maybe they didn't want undue scrolling (they could've possibly used a different/thinner font to mitigate that I think). Also the voice...
