@syn010110 "Being turn-based is a technological limitation" well, lets just agree on that we disagree then.

[syn010110]

@joriandrake VATS is not all that different from how it's handled in FO1 and FO2. The only difference is there are less discrete areas to target (i.e. you can't target the eyes).

Being turn-based is a technological limitation from the days when the original games were made. Our computers are faster now. We don't NEED to make games turn-based and thank fuck for that. I wanted to shoot myself every time I had to wait 2-3 minutes for the enemies to finish (slowly) moving...

@syn010110 it isn't even the same in various ways, as example it isn't turn-based, and the targeting system is a mockery of the ones of F1-2

Makes me want to dig it out of my game stash and install it :D

@syn010110 "It must be sad to hate everything. How do you even enjoy gaming anymore, if you're just so determined to hate every game that comes out?" Dude, I want that quote framed. That is exactly how I feel whenever somebody points out that "games aren't good anymore". Just grizzled old gamers who hate new games for the sake of hating them.

@Psydecar Lacking what? What, exactly, is missing? What do the Black Isle Fallout games have that FO3 and NV don't have, that can't be added with mods? What makes it an "action RPG?" Just because it's first-person?

It must be sad to hate everything. How do you even enjoy gaming anymore, if you're just so determined to hate every game that comes out?
