WHooa, this really sucks. In so far as it shows that Beth made the "right choice" not to include graphical child-killing. I think on a deeper level the problem in the game-biz of watering-down and dumbing-down is because games now cost a lot more to produce. Greater financial risk means less...

I couldn´t agree more! My point was exactly that what the game-industry need is people of the Kurosawa and Herzog caliber, and of course working within the specific framework of VG´s you describe so very well. Though I do tend to get very similar feelings of immersion/getting sucked in whether...

You pretty much sum up all my gripes, especially with the dungeons. It clearly shows the generic way of thinking. Instead of making the storyline unique and the dungeons an integral part of it, it´s a dumbed down kind of sandbox-mechanic to make the game last longer. At least that´s the feeling...

I actually like the idea of customized weapons, but only if they aren´t silly like a grav-gun or D&D like the flaming sword. Realistic upgrades for realistic weapons, like in F1/F2. Scoped guns, explosive ammo, add-on grenade launcher for rifles, poison on blades and shurikens, spiked clubs and...

Ok, but for what reasons? My point was just that maybe it´s best to avoid Beths take on weaponry alltogether, seeing that they put in the AK-47 and bloody BFG-9000´s :x Also, it would be a nice nod to the original creators with the F2 weapons. And btw, this list is just from the top of my...

Great list! Though I think that because of the shear amount of stuff that Beth has fucked up it would be extremely difficult to pull off. And even if Beth decides to release the editor, you certainly wouldn´t be able to mod a lot of hard-wired stuff like the perspective, combat-system or A.I...

There´s that bible again :wink:

Yeah, pretty lame, if that´s it. As to what else, I sure don´t remember any bibles from either F1 or F2.

I think they might be gettting at the "water of life" quote as a reference to the water-chip in F1.

The horror!

somewhat old kid on the block So i´ve been reading the NMA newswire for about a year and find myself following the discussions more and more. Now to the point of not leaving my apartment. I´ve always wanted to join a cult anyway, so thanks for letting me in :twisted: Also, I really wish for...

Yeah, my money too is on total waste of time for any F3 guide. Nice example :)

Sometimes a game-guide will actually give you helpful advice on different gamestyles. Other times it´s a total waste of time. And for games like F1 and F2, where you could actually solve situations akin to roleplaying, I guess it makes sense with a guide. I did not get that feeling playing...
