Duck and Cover

Totally agree man. I was out of console gaming for a looong time. Anyway, recently bought my kids a Wii, which granted, is a few years old at this point. The Wii would be fantastic system for little children or very casual gamers if it weren't for the ungodly amounts of shovelware that have deluged...

When we started on the game six years ago, I looked at the consoles and said ‘These are as good as the PC’, and our development strategy was to develop live on all the platforms. And now we’re looking at PCs that have ten times the horsepower of the consoles. I’m making a large change in my...

If you browse through IGN's reviews you see that they ALWAYS give (something like 95 cases out of 100) better scores for PC games from big makers than what users do and often bash down on games that are unique and from smaller developers. IGN still owns PC gamer does it not? I remember back when th...

What's this I'm hearing about not being able to level skills? I actually heard one of the developers saying everything depends now on "leveling your character" and that they've almost "eliminated all the grindiness out of it". What kind of game developer necrophilia is this? Why ...

My heart sings at the groan and whinge of every CoD swell guy who comments as to whether this game will be made cross-platform.








Not on your life mate, not on your life.

Everything went south with the advent of cross-platform development. I knew something was seriously wrong when Morrowind came out, it reeked of that capitalist lowest common denominator dredging strategy that has reduced PC gaming to what it is now. I'm sorry, but if you were introduced to gaming in...

Most people are starting to see a pattern with CoD, if they don't well you wouldn't want to associate with them anyway.

High resolution D:

CoD is the Nascar of FPS games, period.


For my money it's ArmA series (and the original OFP) or go home.

Pro: Rebellion Con: 360 I'm still undecided. It has an equal potential to turn up crappy as it does to turn up good. It's also coming out for the PC apparently, and case in point Oblivion was multiplatform and there were small, subtle adjustments to the windows game that were not present in the 360...

Do you want to know why this game will be awesome? Rebellion made the FIRST AvP first person shooter, and that game kicked all sorts of ass. It conveyed 100x more cinematic ambience in the vein of the alien and predator series movies than the second one ever did. Rebellion made a hit the first time ...

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by ArmA II.

BIstudio hasn't let us down yet.

Just about everything related to the game is a great leap forward.

Visuals, AI, etc.

So it does have the dynamic building destruction system? Where you can take a building apart with various explosives? As was promised at E3 like three years ago? I know the persistent war is gone. Which absolutely slays me. And to stainless. OFP was all about breaking the tactical shooting mold. 1. ...

I wish.

Operation Flashpoint was the single greatest military shooter of all time.

Game 2 was supposed to raise the bar dramatically. What with dynamic destruction of buildings, and the dynamic, evolving persistent war.

Now, it's nothing more than an Armed Assault sequel.

Disappointing.

Co-op for AVP was hella fun.

AVP was vastly superior to AVP 2 in my opinion.

More games need co-op functionality.

Laughable plot, ham acting, adolescent dialogue. Surprisingly fun co-op gameplay. Honestly. One thing I long for is the days when most games that came out had co-op built right into them. So many games these days don't let you play through the main story with your friends regardless of how incongruo...

I hope this great little utility hasn't disappeared into the binary morass of the internets.

Would any of you by chance know where I could get it?

I've been out of the community for a while now and I can't find any of my old fallout downloads.

As always, any help would be appreciated.

SMOD: Tactical, made Half-life 2 what it should have been in my opinion.

It added a lot more dimension, and difficulty to the game.

All joking aside. The key problem with Haris' game design is he takes potentially good ideas. And then executes them in the most horrible fashion that it's not fun. Cooking would be a cool feature in a game like fallout, but as long as it's simple and not an integral part of the game. Cook shit to g...

Now I thought this thread was post "apoc" not specifically "post nuke". Post nuke would certainly suck a lot of ass, and I'd be hard pressed not to consider just putting a bullet in me. If the radiation or lack of food, or whatever else didn't kill me first. Also. You're posting ...

So this is what happens when you ban firearms... Am I surprised? Not in the least. Stupid people have it in their minds that getting rid of implements of harm is the solution. They haven't the slightest clue that it's the proclivities of society as a whole that determine the commonality of violence ...
