They don't have a case to make for themselves, unless you count their irrational hatred towards all things male and heterosexual. What's your solution to that? Ban women from appearing in porn? That would be a violation of their rights, and if you go down that path you might as well ban them...

I bought Far Cry 2 (PC) last night, and it sucks enormous amounts of cock. Perhaps even more than Fallout 3, which could be the worst game I've ever played. My main gripe is that it takes absurd amounts of bullets to kill enemy soldiers, whereas they can kill the player very quickly. There...

That's kind of what this thread is for. I uninstalled FO3 today.

The de-obfuscated version of your post:

The difference is perfectly clear to me. I never said they aren't a subgenre of video games. I said they aren't a subgenre of roleplaying. Apples & oranges. It is utterly impossible for a video game to replicate or approximate a physical activity like real life combat or real life...

We have quite obviously been talking about CRPGs, as have other people. CRPGs do not really constitute a subgenre, they're simply computer representations of roleplaying. Like I said, due to technical limitations CRPGs can only offer multiple choices, but it's still roleplaying (unless you...

What does that have to do with roleplaying? Nothing, because HL2 is not a roleplaying game. Combat decisions don't make HL2 a roleplaying game any more than combat decisions make Fallout a roleplaying game. Tell me: when you play HL2, do you actually determine every action you take by asking...

You do assume his role. You choose what he does and what he says, and what kind of a person he is. You think "what would my character do?"

I don't see how. In Fallout I specifically choose to do, and am allowed to do, something because that's what my character would do. I don't have such a choice in Half-Life 2. Gordon, despite lacking a clear personality, does things in a certain pre-determined way. Pretending that HL2 is a CRPG...

You're not really assuming Gordon's role, but merely controlling him. You don't determine his actions based on his characterization ("what would Gordon do?"), and even if you tried to you couldn't because the game mechanics don't support it. You cannot improvise, nor can you affect the outcome...

He is simply saying that most video games aren't roleplaying games, which is true (but I don't know why he bothers to point out such an obvious fact). But he writes elsewhere: Writing was indeed better in the past. Its quality has steadily deteriorated ever since games started being...

In some ways the graphics are better than FO3's. The interface is better too.

Did he mention race anywhere, and do Polish people even constitute a race of their own? Aren't you the one who's being racist?

Today's average gamers are borderline illiterate morons whose attention spans can be measured in seconds. Go to places like Gametrailers and Steampowered and see for yourself. The original Fallouts would be a completely overwhelming challenge for them. Even something as simple as Counter-Strike...

These reviewers are either complete morons or on Bethesda's payroll. Fallout 3 has so many issues that only money or stupidity can make someone ignore them. I started loathing the game after only a few hours into it, and it's possible that I will uninstall it without going further. It's just...

A roleplaying game has already been defined quite clearly: A computer roleplaying game is a computer representation of the above, or at least tries to be.

I have played the previous games quite a lot, and I was prepared to accept that even if F3 isn't a good Fallout, it might still be a good game on its own. I've been playing for several hours now, and I can't believe how painfully mediocre, incompetent, bland and uninspired Fallout 3 is. Good...
