Yes. We're all hoping that it's going to kick ass.

[Lysandor]

Who isn't hoping that?

[Wickfield]

Who isn't hoping that?

Infidels and demon-spawn.

[ZeaL-]

hopefully its really good otherwise im gonna be a sad panda.

[Bissen]

The part about the story author is really intriguing. It builds the story up around the players choices and actions.

Fuck I hope it's playable in co-op.

[Spinewire]

They gave oblivion a glowing reveiw aswell, i don't put much stock in what people say about games anymore. I very much doubt i will think it's worth 94%.

Especialy with all the negative comments the reviewer has to say at the end....


Respawning bad guys, constant kill missions, in game ads and no real back story does not add up to 94% imo

[doma]

This I actually think I might enjoy.
I love my sanbox games thats for sure.

I'm probably going to pick up FC2 for the multiplayer and maybe some mods to remove the ingame ads. Crysis single player was a bit depressing and also claimed to follow in the footsteps of Deus Ex, what a big fat lie, Crysis failed so much, you can't even shoot your own men...

Lets hope Farcry 2 lives up to its Deus Ex like stoyline, so far, no game has topped Deus Ex, IMHO, and Fallout 3 might come close. Stalker had a pretty good storyline and atmosphere but it was pretty hard to follow and after a while, the old artifacts didn't seem so rare, though its also like Deus Ex. Sadly, a good weapon didn't feel as valuable as it should be.

In game... Ads?.... *stares suspiciously*

[Scully]

It's a shame there's no weapon customization.

Yeah. Sign and commercials will depict real world items. Who cares? Just blow the crap outta that billboard and it's gone.

What he said. Why the fuck would you care?

[Scottc1988]

What makes this procedural storytelling cool isn't that you get to play the game lots of times, and see new things happen, or do things in new ways, Its not even that it gives you stories to share, situations to compare with your friends. Its that the game just works and responds to your successes, failures and fuckups.
Awesome.

Fallout 3 wont come close to Deus Ex until they make a mod with little kids you can kill, which was in both Fallout 1 and 2, and Deus Ex 1 and 2





and who gives a fuck if the billboards are real items? what bearing does that have on ANYTHING?

[Goty]

That looked great.

I watched a trailer for this from Amazon and it looked cool as hell, though I'm not sure them using a Massive Attack song was the most fitting choice. :X

The biggest turnoff for FC2 for me is the weapons decay. It's bullshit. As an owner of several of the gun types that are in the game, and a marksmanship instructor, I can tell you that weapons decaying that fast is bunk. And I'm not really interested in playing the game until a mod that removes or GREATLY decreases decay is introduced.

edit: I understand that it's a game so realism is out, but it's a game mechanic that I hated in stalker. When you take good care of your guns, they will take good care of you.

I know right! I returned The Witcher immediately after I saw how he sharpened his swords. Totally inaccurate!

Yeah, I returned Leisure Suit Larry asap when I saw how he fucked those women. I'm an expert in that area and it was so fake! They were not even bleeding to death at the end!

Was there at least struggle and strangulation involved? You couldn't even call it sex otherwise.

[Bissen]

OK so co-op won't be in. That frickin blows. Why is is that devs don't get the fuckin idea. It's twice the fun playing with friends. Also against AI!

DAMNJOOBISOFT!!!!!!!
