CRank: 5Score: 20510

HOLY CRAP, you mentioned Boiling Point. Haha, wow. To be honest, the FPS elements in that game were decent, but nothing great. Still, it was basically a nice mix of Far Cry and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky. Voice acting blew, though.

Anyway, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as a series is right up there with HL and BioShock for me. Though, hold on, you didn't even list BioShock or Half-Life. How'd you miss those? 0_o

If true, this would certainly explain why I could take a beating in school when I never really did anything else to increase my tolerance for pain.

Whoa, just think about this for a minute: If you played nothing but violent video games in a long marathon (with food, drink, and enough sleep to survive) for, say, five years while doing almost nothing else... They could throw your ass in the military, give me a chaingun, tell you to talk like a Russian... and you could be tankin...

Yeah, well, who thought Treyarch was actually being consulted on this? I know I certainly didn't.

There wouldn't be a wrestling match. Gabe would just sit on him and win.

Then he'd go back to staring at a wall or whatever he does back at Valve that doesn't include finishing HL3.

Frankly, I don't think most people are flat-out "good guys." Most of us have walked that morality line a few too many times than we should've. Still, it is better to take the effort to be a good guy than to give up and become some scum that'd be better fertilizing the soil than living amongst others.

By the way, I'm not looking down on you or anything as I'm just the same. If I do something wrong, however, I look for ways to make it up, even if I...

Christ, can't this woman (or her husband, for that matter) shut the hell up? This isn't 1984, kids don't socialize in the US the way they used to. Most interaction is done at school for little children while, for teenagers, it's also done over a damn phone or at some place where alcohol and weed is housed.

The problem isn't with the TVs or the games, as she seems to think it is from what her quote in the article says. Rather, it's parents who've gr...

Dark Shadows? Uh... as opposed to light shadows?

@Summons
No, it really isn't. Please, make a sequel to one of the highest-rated RPGs of all time (KOTOR) in 13 months. It is impossible to make a brand new story, introduce new pieces of gameplay, model and texture new objects and worlds, tie up all loose-ends in a story, AND make the game polished in 13 months. Even for an FPS, 13 months can't do that.

Fallout New Vegas is the same deal. It's one thing to check inventory in an hour, like you said. However...

*sigh* APPARENTLY, people would rather talk a bunch of crap then take 5 minutes to use Google.

KOTOR 2 had a 13 month development cycle. Alpha Protocol's development was actually relatively short; most of the time spent was with development on hold. Also, SEGA forbade them from releasing patches (for whatever stupid reason). Fallout: New Vegas was to be a game as big as Fallout 3, but with better improvements to gameplay. Hell, it managed to get higher-profile voice actor...

Believe it or not, Obsidian is my favorite developer (so many legendary people with so much talent). Unfortunately, they always get screwed over. LucasArts screwed 'em over, Atari screwed 'em over, SEGA screwed 'em over, Bethesda screwed 'em over. It's so stupid that a developer with some of the most talented people in the industry (Chris Avellone's writing is some of the best, if not THE best in the industry. See Planescape: Torment) can't get a proper development...

Quite the unfortunate choice for an engine, then. :/

Ha, that's exactly what I said.

Here's a good idea: How about they just scrap the damn Uncharted movie and leave video games alone?

A new Black Isle? Eh, I don't know, Interplay itself has been crap since it got bought by Moron-Who-Also-Created-Superma n64. As Brian Fargo said, a company is only as good as the talent it employs. Even if these people DID make a Dark Alliance 3, the chances of it being good are... not pretty.

I'm sorry, WHAT? THEY SCRAPPED SINGLE-PLAYER? My rage right now is unmatched. "Oh, but they're actually putting it back in!" I don't actually hear you say. Yeah, likely for cash. Besides, these missions are, knowing EA, going to be as long as some of their cheap-ass DLC rather than having proper campaigns.

Pay attention to the title. It doesn't say, "5 new screenshots," it says, "GTA 5: New screenshots."

*facepalm* "Go back to CoD"? Really? I'd like to point out that, between ME1 and ME2, ME2 is the one that's closer to CoD. That's not saying much, but it is saying at least SOMETHING.

Also, I suspect foul play. I'm betting it's the same reason ACTUAL CoD games get these 9s every year. I mean, seriously, MW3 was a terrible game. There's no LEGITIMATE way it could've gotten the scores it got. Foul play was involved and, when it comes to big...

If you're a gamer, I have to ask: Why do you even care about Windows 8? Most of the gaming industry knows that Windows 8 is, as Gabe Newell put it, a catastrophe. Just don't go near it and pray for it to fail so that Microsoft can learn that they aren't Apple.

Just stick to Windows 7.
