So you're saying that you could make a 50-second montage of Tarkovsky's Stalker show pretty much the same movie like a 50-second preview of Max Payne, right? Maybe you're the person who needs to experience the whole work, read a few reviews and then get an opinion from their friends to...

Please, try to convince me you never laughed at liberals/democrats/republicans/communists/anarchists/conservatists. Go on ahead, try to tell me with a straight face you never made a hurtful remark, never nodded when someone else did one. Christ, if there's one thing that I hate the west...

No, but to make a true X-com sequel you'd have to have AT LEAST the same tactical/strategic complexity as the game we all love from more than a decade ago. But since technology has advanced we want the game to reflect that. Things that were impossible to do in the original X-com would be...

Of course they are! I mean, they're almost as funny as that guy that got killed while having sex with a horse. Unless of course you pick up a chick at a bar and while home you accidentally see that the name on the card is Helmut. Then it's quite terrifying. And seriously, we have a...

Square Enix? Deus Ex? :clap: That'll be awesome! Imagine a 16-year old emo JC denton with spiky black hair running around with a sharpened support beam longer than himself, handling it like it was paper. All while being capable of vertical running, unassisted flight and all that with his...

Open source development does not work for games. Allow me to repeat. Open source developemt DOES NOT WORK FOR GAMES. ESPECIALLY content-based games. Transport tycoon? Sure. Multiplayer games? Sure. Content-based games? No. Your motivation WILL eventually run out. You NEED money...

Don't. Board games are limited by real-world constraints. For example when calculating if a shot hits or misses you wouldn't be able to factor in many variables, unless you'd have a rulebook the size of an encyclopedia and a bunch of accountants counting that. Don't confuse turn-based with...

Nontheless, X-com had a more dilluted brand name than Fallout, I think you'll agree on that.

1. X-com was 1994, Fallout was 1997. 2. Fallout had a clear numeration that separated sequels from "primary" titles 3. The Fallout brand name wasn't as dilluted as X-Com. Tactics wasn't actually bad, and BOS was the only real problem.. X-com had only two good games (apocalypse and the...

In all honesty, that was one aspect where Fallout disappointed me. X-Com as a franchise? I wouldn't put my money on it. Using the X-Com brand name made sense in the beginning - sure, people remembered X-Com was a great game. But today's new generation of gamers doesn't play or remember...

What scale measures the success of a revival? Money, of course. In terms of profit Fallout 3 was a success. Why change it, if it works? The revival, from my perspective was a failure because for all intents and purposes, it could never wear the Fallout tag. Bethesda did their vision of a...

Some of us hated and some loved new reno. Frankly the basic idea here isn't bad. This was a stylized version of raider gangs. Groups of criminals fighting each other. Only New Reno took the idea and went overboard with the stylization. It painted the whole thing like a 50-s cosplay convention...

Ugly fat chicks. *ducks*

6.5 for pasting an error message into paint. Lovely.

Pretty nice work on the contrast. Almost like a HDR. Also not a derivative work, never seen that pic before. 8/10

Arden: FPSs aren't immersive by default. FPSes just provide more opportunities for the creation of immersion. A top-down isometric view puts distance between you and your character, while FPSes make you the avatar. However without the proper techniques, it's only a change of camera position.

I personally define immersion as a set of game features that allow a player to make decisions and experience their consequence in a believable and consistent way. When I fire a gun, I want to feel recoil and see shells flying. When I use a medkit I want my character to play a little...

I call bullshit on the merger of two worlds idea. Visceral as in cartoony exploding heads and people made of wet paper? Yeah. Visceral as in genuinely disturbingly violent, God of War style? The kind of (I hate that word) immersion that makes you feel you're right there holding the gun...

You're right here. While the graphics don't lose anything when scaled down and in hi-res, reading the text is kind of like watching TV through your neighbour's window from across the street. Also, crash to desktop upon handing the Broken Hills note to the mutant in the bar. I think that set...

1) Combat animation speed doesn't work most of the time. Setting it initially lasts for the duration of the current fight and then reverts to default. Edit: The slider stays at the position the user has set it in. However the actual effect of speeding the animations up does not happen, playing...
