That sums up my experience with Red Dead Redemption perfectly. Good game overall with an interesting storyline & very good voice acting - but I can only play for 90 minutes max before I get 'bored' of the repitition. And I might find myself flip-flopping the further I go, too. Maybe my...

Looking at the reviews, I find the text belies the numbers. Ignoring the reviewers who chose to focus exclusively on the bugs, a heavy majority are citing improvements to almost every area of the game. Voice acting, story, items, size, quest quality, maturity, etc. Then, out comes the 85~...

Put me in this camp. The only time I felt that I was 'back in DC' was when I entered the schoolhouse in Goodsprings - but it seems that Obsidian was careful to make that area very small to not feel too samey too early in the game. Otherwise, just talking with Easy Pete was a blessing. A...

I never found the exploding cars that big of a deal in FO3. I somehow managed to resist the urge to shoot exploding cars on sight. The only time it was an issue was in Minefield where that old coot was deliberately setting them off. Otherwise, I never really paid much attention to them. As...

That I can't tell you. I don't know enough about the origins of the Legion. I could go read on the Vault but I would prefer ot be taught gradually in the game about their history than have advanced knowledge. I'm sure if I was paid to think on it I could come up with a passable reason as to...

Whoops. I didn't even read the name. :oops: Edited my post.

If it's only sprinkled into their language, it isn't that weird. No more strange than modern English users mixing French (a propos, deja vu, brunette, en route, sommelier, etc) or Spanish (rodeo, pronto, cafeteria, fiesta, negro, pinata, barrio, etc.) into the language at whim. If they are...

Sorry to hear that. I get me copy tonight. :whistle: I was going to wait until Friday night and jump into it head first throughout the weekend but my impulsiveness has gotten the better of me. Too many positive things written exactly the way I was hoping to hear them. I liked the IGN UK...

I know exactly how he feels. I've deliberately stretched out games to keep the experience alive. However, the feeling I'm getting is that won't be necessary as I will be anxious to see what 'Scenario B/C/D' offer. So many fantastic things to read in that review. Thank you for the post &...

How could you not? I'm not a blind hater of Fallout 3. There were aspects of it I loved. However to say anything else about the writing/story except it being - at best - mediocre, is either a lie or a revealing character flaw of the reviewer. I choose the latter. Completely voids the review...

I like the sound of this from the NowGamer review. I'm not sure what was meant by saying it is not as 'philosophically accomplished (as FO3)' but the rest of that review resonates exactly how I was hoping this game would turn out.

This made my dick hard.

I like it. Even if you had a reputation hit (like 'Child-Killer') that followed you around if you mowed down an entire town or continually shot 'innocent people' on sight. This rep would follow you throughout the game and have different consequences. - Bounty Hunters - similar to Fallout...

Fixed! :o

I never played STALKER, but I am hoping (was hoping?) that FO: NV wasn't going to make food everywhere. At least not for free. If my character has strong bartering skills, I would likely purchase/trade for my food in town. Even killing Molerats (or equivalent) to get food is fine. At least...

Of course you are correct. Just defies the whole reason for even offering a Hardcore mode. Why code it only to nerf it out of the box? What was the purpose of even offering a 'soft' core mode. :roll:

I'm hoping that 'free' food is scarce enough to at least create a money sink of some sort. Hopefully make hoarding caps/dollars/chips a little bit more difficult if I'm spending a minimum of $15 to $20 per day to live.

Fallout 3 on Very Hard was pretty much that. You are right: It wasn't very interesting.

Exactly. Who can trust a review? A good majority are bought or coerced in some fashion. Reviews are mildly helpful at informing me about what I can expect in a general sense. Perhaps highlight glaring flaws or interesting design elements. In that sense they are useful for someone who hasn't...

Mr. House has a 'Wizard of Oz' feel to it. Feeble old man behind the screen on an ego trip. The strip is the Emerald City.
