Daggerfall is the most expensive PC game I've played at $105 retail when it came out.
First thing it did when I ran it? Crashed. No doubt buggy as hell.
Once it was patched and stable it was incredible. One of the games I've played the longest. |

I enjoyed Freedom Force back in the day. There was a shitload of skins that the community made as well with all of your favourite superheroes, until the copyright lawyers shut that down  |

All companies are motivated by money Einstein, that's the entire premise behind a business, to make money. Stop acting like making money is a crime.
Sorry, that's not what I meant to say.
Of course they're in it for the money, so am I, but at any price? I guess what I'm saying is there is a lack of ethics. I'm sure corporations love indentured servitude and sweatshops. If they had their way they'd still pay us in chits redeemable only at their own company store. |

I have a friend who used to work at EA for a long time, and from what I can see there are definitely no changes for the better there. The hate for EA is well founded imo.
I (sadly) work for a multinational corporation and in my experience to date they're all the same; they are motivated by greed, they will use you until there's nothing left and then they will throw you away. No one is indisposable. They proclaim how great their services are and cover up all the fuck-ups and complaints in an attempt to hide them from the clients/customers. Masters of snake oil. Oh, and you better have a team of lawyers if you decide you want to leave. |

I checked out the gameplay and character creation trailers yesterday. I like the fact that you can basically create your own race. The fights look very cool.
I just can't help but remember SW Galaxies though

I bought this game when it first came out and maybe played 2 hours before I was going "ugh....."
I might have to reinstall it and check it out again. Looks very impressive indeed. |

Why is this guy even getting air time?
Show me some hard numbers by someone who doesn't have so much to gain by fudging them.

No other game to date has held my attention as long as Tribes did. BF1942 came close (if I include the pre-release wake island demo ;))
I had Voodoo card when T2 came out and was disappointed. U/G to nvidia (think it was geforce or geforce 2 at the time) and schwing!
I still fire it up once in awhile but there aren't too many base servers, which has always been my fave.
Good luck to the devs, I'd love to see it succeed. |

I had no problem pickin' em off as a sniper.
Hint to new scouts out there: if you change direction while airborne it's a lot harder for a sniper to tell where you're going to be, and therefore lead you 
Being on the receiving end a number of times, I felt the shotgun seemed more powerful. |

Can someone tell me what Games For Windows is supposed to do? I buy a TON of games, and I play a TON of games, and I'm still not sure what Games For Windows is. Is it a distribution system like Steam? Is it a multiplayer thing like Battle.net? Because as far as I can tell, it's just a logo on a box.
As far as I can tell from FO3 and GTA4 it tracks your achievements in the game, and in the case of GTA4, helps you track buddies; if they're online, which server they're on, etc. It also delivers patches/updates. Supposedly it will also be the vehicle by which downloadable content can be obtained, but I'm not aware of any being released yet. FO3 is supposed to have some available shortly. There's a "marketplace" similar to steam's store(?). Didn't really check it out, but didn't seem to be much there. There is a forum. I think that covers it  |

I like the game and really haven't had any issues with it until the latest patch which is causing some CTDs seemingly when I maximize the video memory use with the gfx options. Controls seem to be about the same as San Andreas PC, but I can't be entirely sure as it's been a while since I played SA. I don't have any complaints about the gfx, the gameplay is essentially the same, although it seems to be more story driven(?), not sure, only 30% through it. Multiplayer is a hoot.
Could it be better? Yes, but overall I'm having fun and glad I made the purchase

So far enjoying it a lot; it's better than I thought it would be. Really kept a lot of the flava from the first 2 games. I've done the main quest to Rivet City, now checking out other areas, level 11. Seems darker with less humour. Not a bad thing. Very good immersion (for me anyway, ymmv). Seems to have tonnes of modding potential.
I'm wondering if I can do things like get married and pimp my wife, or sell my partner to slavers. I kind of doubt it.
I'm a little disappointed the number of skills were pared down. Definitely a lot easier than F1&2; I died a lot in those games. The only time I've died so far is misusing the mininukes. They should have made fast travel like the first 2, with a chance of a random encounter.
A key ring; hey, can I get one for Oblivion?
Inventory/merchant menus should be drop down, or icons across the top, so I don't have to "clickety-click-click-click" through the menus.
I've had only a couple crashes, on exit and fast travelling, none since the patch.....which was itself an interesting experience. Levitating objects, including a priest at a wedding in Rivet City (thought he was hanging at first lol). The physics are interesting...sometimes comical, sometimes disturbingly realistic, although I believe inadvertently in this respect.
We'll see how it plays out |

I have Nero installed and no lock ups either. About 10 hours of game play so far.
The only crash I get is if I exit the game without exiting to the main menu first. Just like Oblivion.
I'm using a SB Audigy, quite old and of course Creative hasn't issued new drivers in eons. Oh, WinXP.
So far enjoying the hell out of it. |

I didn't find it biased at all; the guy answered the questions that were asked. Every comment he made about animations, AI, etc. was exactly my experience with Oblivion. Every NPC in Oblivion walks around like they have titanium rods stuck up their collective butts. That is not bias, that is fact, same with the brain dead AI.
How sad that such an amazing opportunity is being squandered.
I think this also illustrates the failings of North American corporate culture. It's not what you know or how competent you are, it's who you know and how well you suck up to the management above you. That's why we sit here scratching our heads wondering who the hell made these decisions.

Whether a game is good or not is of course highly subjective in nature, and popular is not necessarily superior. What corporations are interested in is what sells.
I've played Arena, Daggerfall, MW + expansions, and Oblivion. They've all had "cookie-cutter" elements, but given the sizes of the gameworlds and I would assume a budget that has to be adhered to, one can understand why this is so. Did I enjoy them? Sure I did, but like many others, I too have both F1 & 2, and from my perspective at least, Bethesda's RPGs pale in comparison. They are ok to good, but what is so apparent are the missed opportunities that would have made them great.
I will buy F3, but I hope I don't end up hating myself for it. I'm cheering on Bethesda to do the right thing and make an epic title. Based on my prior experience with their games however, I remain skeptical that there is going to be any dramatic shift in their game design philosophy, and that's a real shame if this is so with F3. One can always hope.

I bought the game last Thursday.
I love the fact that I don't need the disc in to play.
I had a couple of CTDs but my gfx drivers were rather old. Updated to the 175.80s and have had zero issues in many hours of play.
Great game!

Still impressed Bethesda would attempt Fallout, given the unparalleled hostility in most Fallout fans.
Because let's face it... all the fans really want is Fallout 1 in a new box.
I don't think the fans are looking for Fallout 1 in a new box. They do want a sequel that will stay true to 1 & 2's style of play, humour, RPG system, and ability to really play through in a number of different ways.
The hostility is there because that doesn't appear to be happening.
I've played every Elder Scrolls game since Arena. While most are good (and some mediocre), they don't come close to the first 2 Fallout games (in my "unpaid" opinion of course ).
I hope they make FO3 an epic game, but I remain skeptical. Prove me wrong Bethesda!
