My current gaming-experience

Hey Fred, Did you already finish Grim Fandango?? You were just talking about playing it a couple posts back =P

I guess it wasn't that long of a game now that i think of it.

Three times now. But I am unable to do much more with my computer until I fix it. Something's gotten to it and I dunno what. See the thread about What's wrong? for more information.

Also, please help!

I've been playing Fable 2 for the last couple hours... it's not bad. Much better so far than the first one.

Lately I've been playing Jedi Knight, in expectation for Force Unleashed.

I've gotta say, where was I in the last years with all these amazing titles for the SW franchise? KoTOR 1 and 2, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy... wow!

I'm halfway through Crimson Skies on my Frankenputer. Excellent game, really makes you feel like a flying ace!

Also, burned through Force Unleashed lately. Quite a good lil' game. Am looking forward to Alan Wake now.

Ok Vault 101 is no Vault13.

FallOut3 is a decent game, and it uses the IP well. It's just a sci-fi version of Oblivion done better than Oblivion. It's no Mass Effect though.

I think the big problem is that the depth to NPCs, etc. is no better than FO2 or FO1 which were made in the days where RPGs had characters with the depth of a child's wading pool. This easily falls in the same category, making my imagination have to add more to what is there (what many of us did with the first two games).

The IDEA is still brilliant, the world is still fun and now much more REAL looking.

I've got to start figuring this all out to get a review ready.

I am really looking forward to Fallout 3.... and Killzone 2!

-Cub. =o)

Oblivion with guns. No surprise there.

Here's a question however. And this is a question of the moral dilemmas I'm wondering if they had the balls to put in the game: Are there children and in the game, and can you kill them?

I feel like such a sociopath just for asking that...

It's illegal to put in a game in various countries (including yours). So no worries about invisible kids you can't see like in FO2.

Just like the world of Oblivion they are all adults.

However I haven't finished the game or been everywhere yet.

Fallout 2 had kids. In Norway as well. And you could blow them to kingdom come. Also, of course, you had to suffer for your actions accordingly.

No-balls, sell-out, pussy bastards. I hate Bethesda.

Actually many countries, including the United Kingdom had "invisible," kids, the kids weren't there. Interplay didn't change the quests that counted kids either. So the game was extremely flawed in those versions.

I was pretty sure we had the kids too. I distinctively remember punching the annoying begging kids, and blowing up the weird ones in that strange infected village. Of course, that was when I played a grave digging, child killing slaver whore that slept with both sexes and made dubious alliances with the mob.

Man that game was fun.

Funny thing about shooting kids. I own a copy of the first Postal in cartoon 2d 1/2. Despite the pointless massacres, the burning parade band members yelling "I don't wanna live" and the rest of the killings, the only level with kids, a school yard, you lose control of the player who attempts to go on a shooting rampage but no one dies and the game pretty much ends there. It seems even Running With Scissors didn't have the Black Isles balls!

I wonder where Jack Thompson was when Fallout came out. Arguably though, the whole game was never once done in bad taste. Everything made sense in that wonderfully sad story.

The NA version (USA and Canada) had the kids.

UK and many European countries did not. It was a silly thing. Since the "review," copy I have is for all countries, it may be possible the release will have kids. I'll ask in an email.

Let's hope the Fallout MMO has balls.

I'm talking big hairy manly cojones, the kind only Black Isle Studios have shown (shoven?) in the past

I want my moral choices dammit!! I want a game that makes me pay morally for my choices, good or bad!!
