Yeah, maybe they can eek out six more unit sales in the mountainous region between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

My jewel case Fallout 1&2 package didn't come with a manual. Constrast that with GTAIV, which came with not only a manual, but also a big-assed fold-out map. Did someone tell Rockstar that I had a beard or something? Jesus fuck that's some classic elitism. Also, knowing the Webster...

Yeah, that one screenshot should be all the proof anyone needs. Preorder: cancelled. Incidentally, I think it's cute! It also looks like the style of kiddy book that was written in the 50's and 60's, so I'm not seeing a huge break from Fallout style here.

I don't get it :?

I think it makes perfect sense to have a built-in flashlight on the arm-mounted Pipboy, from both a retro-futurism style angle and in terms of practicality. Let's hear why you think it's shouldn't have one.

Well, YMMV, but the only wandering around I ever did was in search of a fence for my black market silverware racket. What's odd is how satisfying all that turned out. Especially when it led to some Indiana Jones-inspired native mob chases, only instead of trying to recover some idol they...

You know, even though I'm not sure you're not just being snarky here, I'm going to go ahead and agree with you anyway. If Oblivion was about anything, it was about shoplifting.

I don't mean that spreading the drug around is consistant with their mission statement or anything, but who knows, maybe one of the original party (or heck, maybe even a recruit they pick up along the way [hard times]) has a secret agenda, or is an addict, ect. It's not the way I would take the...

I'm glad we at least agree it's not a big deal :wink: Next up: getting you to understand that your whole list of things that aren't canon makes a pretty flimsy counterargument to my hypothetical example, and I somehow get the feeling that Bethesda's* official explaination would be even more...

It's actually minor as fuck, but I won't begrudge you your relief :D

I am so reporting you. F2 took place on the West Coast, right? Or did you mean East? :? Let's just go ahead and assume that it wasn't just some anal ventriloquism on PCZon'es part and that Jet IS on the East Coast. In 30 years the population would increase, which would logically...

Yeah, it's too bad they didn't create their own drug for the game, so we could then liken it to some overt fantasy analogue. Like a curse. Now we're stuck with something that already explicitly existed in the universe (BUMMER).

And let's just assume it's the worst-case derivative game scenario that seems to be all anyone can imagine - Enemy Territory: Terminator Wars. How fucking awesome does that sound?

You guys are way off - it's totally going to be a new Terminator game.

That makes more sense! We'll consider it an honorary strike anyways. Still, I think you underestimate what Steam is doing for PC gaming. That's also selling it a little short. Steam was the innovator and is the industry standard in digital content delivery. They took a pretty big risk...

Wow, a Steam hater. Those, while steadily decreasing in number, are still alarmingly common these days. Please don't... Wait just a goddamned minute here - before I finish my witty retort, can you verify that you've had any firsthand experience with Steam, and if so, was it within the last...

So Most Innovative GOTY = heaps of gameplay innovation awards? We can do this dance all day BN. OR you can consider that JUST MAYBE the quality of the writing in a 5 hour puzzle game was of a high enough caliber to color people's opinions enough to favor it over a wide range of...

Nice strawman by strained extrapolation, MISTER. The gameplay was unique to be sure, but what practially everyone LOVED was the writing (not the same as the story, of which there's very little, INCIDENTALLY). Did we even play the same game here? Oh, nevermind :( Maybe someday I'll learn to...

Portal's gameplay was a good enough hook but let's be honest here - it was the writing that won all those awards. --- As for indie MMOs, I'd have to say that Mortal Online beats this Russian project like they caught it stealing (from Fallout).
