[QUOTE=Zadrave;52038768]People who outright say DLC/Expansions are a bad thing and refuse to get anything related to it even if it does do the game good. In reality it can be good, there's just a lot of bad examples of it.

The marketing/PR guys like Pete Hines [I]do not make the games[/I]. It's literally their job to whiteknight everything the dev team comes up with, how well they're doing their job is irrelevant in light of people literally getting their job wrong altogether. This holds [I]especially[/I] true with Pete Hines who's been blamed of personally altering the franchise to fit his needs.

In fact many times I don't. I just sell the product by making cool shit to advertise it. So this is wholly a PR thing, assuming Bethesda works the same way. :vs:

"Hey let's all copy what Activision and Infinity Ward are doing." -pillocks who tried to jump on the Modern Warfare bandwagon and made a slew of crap shooters from 2007 onward. It got to the point where classic/oldschool shooters became few and far between after 2007. And now, they've finally had a resurgence in recent years, so now I can actually see my health bar again. More stuff like DooM, less stuff like Medal of Honor: Warfighter. (pffhahahahaaa)

[QUOTE=megafat;52110045]I'd be happy if i could get a FPS where i could set the land speed record.[/QUOTE] A fair number of iD Tech 1 titles had that kind of Olympic runner sprint speed. The original Doom and Strife had that feature, and looking back I reckon it was pretty helpful for instances of backtracking. And speaking of "land-speed records", I reckon that a shooter where you could go at utterly insane speeds, "rolling around at the speed of sound" as the kids call it, would probably benefit from having large open areas like in the Serious Sam games.

When someone spoils something from an old game while you're playing it and tries to justify it by saying 'oh, it's ten years old'. What the fuck does that mean? So at what point do you think that everyone's played the game and should have already known what happens in it? Do you think I'm a fucking magician?

[QUOTE=Zombinie;52110653]As someone who kind of missed the whole GamerGate fiasco, could someone give me a three sentence summary?[/QUOTE] Zoe Quinn was in relations with multiple people reporting on her game. The gaming press and several developers called gamers misogynists for pointing out how this was ethically unsound. When gamers investigated, it turned out that multiple people in the press, several game developers, and a few others were in cahoots with each other (for various things) and decided to call gamers misogynists and declare them dead to avoid people finding out shady shit they did.

But this makes DC feel like an actual city that got hit by nuclear armageddon. Using the subway system to move around gives a sense of curiosity. If you arrive at a metro station, do you keep following the tracks, or do you go to the surface and see what do you find? Compare it to Vegas, with the Strip being reduced to about four casinos linked by out-of-place gates. And the outskirts of the city are simply...there. There is no feeling of Vegas actually being a city.

There's more to New Vegas than just The Strip, it's not the sole focus and environment of the game. I can turn your argument around and say there is plenty of curiosity as to whats in this big desert wasteland around The Strip and I can explore it without travelling through tedious tunnels every 5 minutes. Fallout 3 is referred to a themepark as a reason. The fact you're exploring post apoc D.C. is the only thing that the game rides on other than it being what it was when it came out in 2008. Nowadays it doesn't hold up whatsoever.

Another time some guy said to me in class "what you have an nvidia card, dude intel is so much better!"[/QUOTE] I find that, at least to me, Fallout 3 was to New Vegas what Star Trek: Voyager was to Deep Space Nine. Not everyone got into Deep Space Nine, granted, but despite its flaws it DID have some damn good writing for the most part. So you can probably understand how I draw parallels between New Vegas and DS9.

[QUOTE]"The game's control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can be used to look up and down. Too often, you'll turn to face a foe and find that your weapon is aimed at the floor or ceiling while the alien gleefully hacks away at your midsection."[/QUOTE] [URL="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/alien-resurrection-review/1900-2637344/"]This is Steven Garrett on Alien Resurrection's controls, one of the first FPS games where the right stick is used for camera controls.
