Duck and Cover

The hook is in the full freedom of actions, you can do everything you want to do, you can pick up everything you want to pick up, you can kill everybody you want to kill (excluding only few story NPCs), you can go everywhere you want to go, also a strong and interesting storyline will be in the gam...

Whats the hook?
Are you looking for a compelling linear story, a game of more subtle choices like fallout, or a deep combat oriented rpg?
Or something else?

" think that this is the shooter 3DRealms has been trying to make for the past 6+ years. And by the time that comes out, everyone will remember that Devastation did it first. Just think, a guy picks up a crate (or any other world objects) from the floor, smashes on the head of a bad guy, killin...

arcade driving combat?

I wish I had a bank of voice actors then I'd rescript those sequences and get them recorded.

A tactical squad game in the root of Syndicate and X-Com, if want to sell a game to underdeveloped children you've picked the wrong genre.

I just finished St. Louis and things suddenly seem more adult. Will that continue or is it just a flicker?

this stuff is unbelievable. I nominally ignore most of it when playing through so reading the actuall text files is a shock.

Who wrote this crap? The writer is obsessed with piss and shit.

Where is the text stored for generic npcs? I am interested in editing the unprovoked white text that pops up in mission/bunker as so much of it is so incredibly infantile.

at least my cinematics are in working shape, suppose I'll install tactics on my primary machine when the motherboard arrives.

The ram gives me about two three more hours before a crash to desktop.

suppose if it gets worse I will go back and install 98

I would assume tactics is problematic under winxp?

Oh vehicle animations aren't the smoothest, is that an engine/game limitation or a cpu factor?

oh, I added a 256 pc133 module (found it under the desk lamp) which brings it to 512.

PII450
512 pc133
Win2k with whatever the current service pack is (3?)
Geforce3ti200 (ripped from my primary setup (which, sadly, has fused again))

more ram and the bleeding thing won't crash midmission.

I may just finish this stodgy corpse.

well, leave it on downloading for the night.

im on a 56k as well

have you run windows update recently?

w/o sp3 (for win2k) I couldn't get a number of games to install.

thank you for the greeting

it lets me alt-tab

including it in the same post would fail to impact my true frustration with tactics

Mine stutters a bit on a 450 with 512ram

yes at least there was that, I was only a whore house away from completing the mission.

and so then it crashes, once felix, the mayor, the ghouls, the daughter, the power plant, are finished.

arg :mad:
