    Should I change my major? (English to Game Design)

    I've read over and over (whilst looking at gaming industry jobs, skills required type stuff) that good writing skills are one of the most important things to a successful career in gaming. I specifically remember seeing it about QA, but I'm sure it goes higher than that.

    10 best games.

    I didn't even notice that Doom was missing; I was scanning the list for Deus Ex.

    Fallout's Future per Critical Gamer

    What would he know about designing games? Has he even gotten a cup of coffee for anyone in his entire life?

    As far as I'm concerned,Fallout 3 never happened. *spoilers*

    They won't have to try very hard, at least.

    Funny and Stark Example of Beth's Laziness...

    Deus Ex did the things you describe, and it is most certainly an FPS first.

    So, uh, did anyone like it?

    For the most part I liked it. I have great reservations, however, that there are many unfinished, unpolished, or poorly executed aspects to the game and that FO3's many near-perfect reviews will foster what I feel in the game is mediocre (Stat/skill system, character animations, plot, dialogue...

    Impressions thread for negative impressions

    There's an implication in your post that Aus doesn't want to play a game for 40 hours. He stated that he didn't want to suffer through 40 hours of gameplay to start enjoying a game at 41 hours in. The way I read your post was, "Unlike you, I want a game with greater than 40 hours of content."...

    Megaton terminal-social interactivity?

    I'm on my second play-through and I decided to spend a little bit more time in Megaton before I blow it up. I have run into a few difficulties (or at the very least, annoyances). Upon hacking into Moriarty's terminal (not going to post spoilers), I have found so much of the type of...

    The Socioeconomic Fabric of Bethesda's PA-DC: Dumb

    There isn't even a proper food chain. Instead of pretending that there's a good reason for poor design if I just turn enough of my brain off, I think I will hold my game developers to a higher standard.

    Impressions thread for negative impressions

    This isn't devil's advocacy, it's willful ignorance. Just take the strawman down, Lincoln.

    Thoughts on FO3 (Spoilers)(32hours played so far)(LONG POST)

    The marines are trained to shoot heads! Otherwise, I agree.

    Liberty Prime

    I need you to take 2 Eastwoods at least twice a day, and give me a call if you start feeling better.

    Small Guns? Big Guns? Lasers? Plasma... spare me

    I only got to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for like a week. I wish I had more time with it.

    Set death anims vs Ragdolling

    I think I remember doing it ONCE in FO2 yesterday or the day before. It probably has a lot to do with luck, because mine was at 10 (I was using the double-barreled shotgun).

    Set death anims vs Ragdolling

    Sledge maybe, but a shotgun would have to exert the same force on the guy firing it to send them several feet through the air.

    Small Guns? Big Guns? Lasers? Plasma... spare me

    I take exception to poor writing and game design invading my favorite IPs. Some people (and I'm willing to bet a majority of the Fallout 3 consumers) are content with a near-perfect score for game because they can shoot people's heads off with railroad spikes. I'm pretty disappointed in the...

    The Socioeconomic Fabric of Bethesda's PA-DC: Dumb

    What the hell is powering them anyway? The generators in the Vaults are questionable as to whether they still function.

    Small Guns? Big Guns? Lasers? Plasma... spare me

    i agree great things shoudl come out of the modding community, but i see that too often as a defense for the game the way it is... pretty sure i've said it before, making a devkit available does not a good game make
