IMO FO3 combat system is clearly broken beyond repair. If they wanted FPS (which is not a problem per se), they should have just made FPS. And allow skill points to be distributed between hacking/lock picking/first aid/speech and other non-combat skills. Throwing "small guns" and so on out of...

Like FO3 is a good FPS... It's not. FO3 is a crappy FPS and a crappy RPG at the same time. It shines at being crappy at both accounts - and this is the only place where it shines. If I want a story-driven FPS - there are some games like Quake 4, Half Life 2 or whatever. Where the...

I think if they'd do it in a style of the Final Fantasy animated movie - it would be better. Realistic rendering and all. I kinda liked FF movie actually.

I've just thought of it - super mutants are sterile, and packs in the nature are always revolve around some sexual relationships. Any chances of sterile beings forming packs? I don't remember hermaphrodite species doing this... there are even much less chances of sterile beings of forming packs...

What I've learned from Unno - there is no limit for a signature size...

Nope, I think FO3 is a good example of how business from satisfying market needs turns to shaping market needs through consolidation. This is the next level of marketing, it has been done before (with music industry, for example, were "stars" are being "made" by labels out of virtually nothing)...

109. Ranting about the game can be more fun than the game itself.

42. Sniper rifles are good as reconnaissance tools only. Shooting at the enemy you see usually doesn't make sense, since their firing range is about 150 meters. 43. Vault security can't withstand an invasion of cockroaches. Which is not surprise, actually, since the 1st level character can...

Gamespot is just full of shit. They gave 8.5 to Far Cry 2 - although the game sucks so much that there is even a site devoted to how much Far Cry 2 sucks. I've played FC2 for about an hour and stopped due to incredible boredom - I couldn't believe a game could suck that much. I've started...

I've written just about the same in another topic - it's like the whole point of the game is to teach you on morals. Don't steal. Don't kill a child (although killing a young woman or an old man is still fine). Sacrifice yourself in the name of the country. That "OMG, your mom was such a...

So, (after checking your "good" list), flashy graphics and Chinese spies make a good game "by all standards"? Something is wrong with standards then. By my standards, the game is boring - one should make some serious efforts in suspending disbelief constantly. And for what? Just to look at...

So do you think the real plot for FO4 will be any better than that? Speaking of FO2 vs FO3, I've recently discovered what FO3 has that FO2 doesn't. I'm talking about those cuties in sexy underwear. So it's not like just a mix of RPG/action/exploration... Bethesda provided players with a good...

They are not being made of lead IRL. There are lighter materials

My impressions. First, I always was kind of hardcore FPS gamer. FO2 (and only then, FO1) were both my first CRPGs 10 years ago. I've played ET: Quake Wars before I've decided to try FO3 despite of everything both bad and good I've heard about it - I've tried to look at it as a completely new...

Errr... this was Mayakovsky, that somewhat crazy poet of the 1917 revolution. "Your word, Comrade Mauser", blah-blah.. So it's not 30-40s, but rather the period after the WW 1st. I don't remember anyone in Soviet Army using it during WW2, it has been replaced in 1934 by TT-33 - more compact and...

My favorite "WTF?" moment so far is an old coot, shooting junk cars at the Minefield and those car... explode! Are they still full of gasoline? Or all cars are being made of explosives, according to Bethesda?

I don't think this is about realism, a game - just like a book - doesn't have to be realistic to be believable. Did you read Homer poems? No one really believes in existence of Cyclops, for example (the same about wife not having sex while her husband is absent for 20 years), but the poems are...

Excuse me? Who wrote this then?: You've made this point. I've answered. You may check the thread just few posts back. Oh..sorry... THAT macroeconomics! Which consists of some attempts to find empirical dependencies between artificial values like "GNP", market indices and unemployment...

LOL. "TAZ" is a joking name for VAZ, which is situated in Tolyati. TAZ="basin" in Russian, just to reflect their cars quality. Sorry if I mistook your words for doomsday predictions: Now.. "Russian economy", again, is not a monolithic thing. And saying "it has risen" is like talking...

It's the same with the US, right? We, at least, still have something to export except our currency :) Just kidding. Actually, I do see. OTOH, current ruble rate hurts exporters, doesn't it? And they are the ones who produce, not those who sale imported goods. My point is that situation is...
