5/10 Now you need a decent mustache.

Just finish reading before calling BS. That's why I distinguished immersion in the world the game is trying to represent from immersion in the gameplay experience the game is trying to create ; I just believe the second is a different kind of immersion, and should be called something else...

That's what I love about it, compared to the other (top quality) conventional stuff. I see it as a very good with a childish twist illustration to the question of the title Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, he seems to be doing exactly that, perfectly fitting. :wink:

I'll have them extra-vinegary please. :smug: Technically NWN2 and DAO are relatively to their time on par, the big difference is that as soon as the prologue of DAO was over, you knew the end of the story and how it would unfold, you just had the useless choice of the order in which you'd be...

Add in the frustration, let down and despise for super-productions and annoyance at over-hype factors.

Yea, it's all light from a screen, I know, thank you Magritte. :clap: (I never assumed the contrary, having myself written "the reality the game is trying to represent") But the purposes are different. Two definitions is a good start for an argument, it only needs some conclusion, which I...

I found it to fit quite well your dumb wish : you want "an intriguing character" from the Maryland swamps to come back in New Vegas at the other side of the continent, and you'd "like to see him re-appear but with a much more in depth storyline". :clap: Not only can "an intriguing character...

Reading Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy is not really immersive, it's pretty abstract. But, Thus Spoke Zarathoustra is immersive, less abstract, and it sinks you in the symbolic world of Nietzsche's thought. And it's a far more accomplished work. Yet they're both interesting books with black words...

And I love snacky-cakes - that' why there's so nutritious. :roll:

That's easily fixed by mods. FO3 mods fix it, you can have a VATS with no damage immunity, no immobile enemies, no super-slow-mo and no following of bullets. But you still get a cool called shots system. Just like the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system, it can be modded back to fit the original FO. But an...

Yeeeeeeeee, and let's also bring back Harold. Again. :clap:

Yea, turn based combat is full of immersion....

Makes Obsidian look like the little back alley dope pusher the big boys use to sell their leftovers while they work on the next big hit : the big boys get their money's worth and keep their names out there as the little dope pusher tries to sell as much of the cheap crap he's asked to work with...

The very best movie. Funny to note that the Stalker's wife, right before this sequence, is reeding St John's Apocalypse, you can still hear her laugh a little. The movie, if it's not strictly post-apocalyptic, clearly has post-apoc themes and references, but it's also interesting to envision the...

I guess the reason is that the games back then didn't have any "elaborate" AI trying to mimic human, just difficult obstacles to get by, but any CIV game on the hardest difficulty is pretty frustrating and hard even today. The training part of Chambers of Shaolin was the hardest, especially...

I don't like weapon tiering and diablo loot, a gun's a gun and it kills at level 1 or 33. So get rid of this. BUT, I'd like a familiarity system, where a good old reliable gun gets (a little) better in loving hands : habits create a better understanding of its balance (+accuracy) and systems...

AK and FN FAL respectively entered production in 1949 and 1950, that's fine by me, but the M16ish rifles are much more 60's modern weapons, and I hate those in FO. Even if it's from the 80's, the Desert Eagle, only by its name, is fitting, but a rifle iconic of the Viet Nam era is really out of...

And that's exactly why the game was so god damned successful : it never challenges but gratifies the player in every possible way - the world is waiting for you, you get perks every level, you can max out your character, there is diablo-esque loot (coulda been worst though) that you don't even...

In my head it's always been 2mm Electro-magnetically Charged, but thinking of it, wouldn't it then make it 2mm EMC ? Yea, it's German made.

Beating Rick Dangerous and Final Fight, no cheats. Getting anywhere far in Transarctica was also a major accomplishment. Such an awesome game, and that opening music... :roll:
