  1. Fallout 3

    For the WHOLE town to immediately come running with guns out to try and kill me because I opened a door that wasn't even locked? I didn't kick it in (knowingly, at least). I certainly didn't pick the lock. As far as I'm concerned, I simply turned the door handle! As a gameplay issue it's pretty shoddy if you ask me, especially since it was an accident -- a gamer's honest mistake. There's not a "kick door in" option, it's just "open door". Except this door: "Whoops! you've opened a door that you weren't allow to open and the whole town knows about it! They're all coming to kill you right now." It's all a bit weird, but thankfully, since I resolved it, it's not gonna spoil my enjoyment or anything. I'm just going to be extremely careful in the future! But I am surprised no-one else has encountered/been annoyed by this. (It feels like a bit of an Oblivion-ism, if you will.)
  2. Fallout 3

    Yes, but I just went to the door and pressed 'E' before I noticed it was red. I think the consequences of my actions were a little OTT
  3. Grand Thumb Auto 2: Return of The Thumb

    It was 360. Wednesday would be better for me!
  4. Good taste... wins?!

    Publisher that specialises in movie-tie games.... collapses? http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0607524/ No news on the fate of Saw: The Video game
  5. Fallout 3

    What do you mean? What makes Megaton unique? Edit: Ah, I think I get you... Megaton's citizen's would be the only ones who reacted that way? I wouldn't mind, but it was totally by accident. There should be a "are you SURE you want to break the law?" pop-up window or something.
  6. Fallout 3

    Turns out leaving the city and coming back again fixes everything. Hmmm.
  7. Good taste... wins?!

    You'd better delete mine while you're at it...
  8. GET THE FUCK ON GTA NOW

    Bah! Next time!
  9. Fallout 3

    WHAT. THE. FUCK. I'm four hours in. I've just spent the last two talking to everyone in Megaton and exploring everything. Then I accidentally opened the door to the Armory when it was RED and now the whole town wants to fuck my ass to oblivion. The game auto-saved as I immediately back-peddled and now I just keep re-loading in front of a massive angry mob. All that talking, all that exploring and now my game is fucked?!? What the hell??
  10. Rez HD

    You can easily sign up for a US account and get access to all these things. The only problem is that you need to buy US MS points from eBay...
  11. How...?! (Guitar Hero viral ad)

    I guess that may well be the case, or poor Zaarin has some real life issues at the moment. Come back, Zaarin! There's no reason to go. Indeed! How could such an important document be lost? It's a shame really because I felt that Zaarin had become "one of the gang".
  12. My battle with Which.co.uk

    I'm not sure why I'm posting this here*, but I'm very interested in this at the moment. Basically Which have just published a complete "High Definition/Blu-Ray" round up and, as usual, their panel of completely-independent experts have come to their conclusions... Except I was a little shocked to read what they were: Nine of the 10 "Best Buys" were 32" or smaller. "So?", I hear you cry. Well, let me explain: * - If you're not interested, please ignore
  13. Good taste... wins?!

    Bah, you're making me guilty... Of course it's not nice that these people lost their jobs, but it IS very good to know that a movie tie-in doesn't automatically equal cash anymore... so you can't just churn anything out because it's got a film related to it, there needs to be more than that (It's a nice message to send to the money men.) Of course it might just be that they got bad licenses
  14. Aye This is precisely why I like the other podcast I keep linking to, and sounds like I should try this one, too
  15. Fallout 3

    Sod it. I just picked up a copy from Game.co.uk for £20
  16. How...?! (Guitar Hero viral ad)

    This is getting very silly and comments like this aren't going to help. The only person getting upset was Zaarin, which is a shame. Instead of saying "fair enough, I'll give it a go" he just made it worse... Yufster took Z's initial pretty damned obnoxious comment and tried to steer his thoughts towards something less inflammatory. Jake's tone can be a bit harsh, but it wasn't anything that bad. I made a friendly Thumbs jibe. Marek tried to calm things down a bit. Hardly fire and pitchforks. Anyways, come back, Zaarin!
  17. Fallout 3

    So, er, I borrowed my friend's copy. Haven't got anywhere it in yet, although liking the tutorial so far. Just one question: I really want to link up my XBox gamertag with a Windows LIVE one, but you need the CD Key from the box. Is this thing actually unique? That is to say: If I use it, will it bugger it up for him and prevent him from using it? I assume it's just something you use to enable Windows LIVE and not actually stored anywhere or anything(?).
  18. New gaming podcast: Hatchet Job Show

    I'll give it shot. Also: The Hollywood Saloon! (For movies.)
  19. Seriously they are the same people

    Jeez, if only someone would distribute a game involving those two guys...
  20. How...?! (Guitar Hero viral ad)

    Is this another one of those "joke" things?
  21. Tomb Raider: Underworld

    Crikey. I remember by in my Sony Playstation tester days that a Class A meant "you can't release this game" (unless you were EA )
  22. Grand Theft Auto IV

    It was just a lot of inconvenience for nothing Next time we better do daily reminders for *some* people Not sure if I can make Thurs - pah! I did play online for the first time ever last night, though. It was interesting, if a little annoying. Some twats are just TOO good... and armour does nothing to protect you from headshots that kill you in nano-seconds... but motorcycle helmets do? Weird.
  23. Gears of War 2

    Erm... I've never said anything about lack of polish and the only complaints I've heard about Mirror's Edge are how generic it is. (Go read the Mirror's Edge thread.)
  24. How...?! (Guitar Hero viral ad)

    Correction: Rhythm based gamery that you've never even tried.
  25. NXE impressions?

    I still see texture pops from time to time. I still have to turn around and wait for the hotdog salesmen to load sometimes, too... but, dammit, it's a whole loading screen faster! *grumble* *grumble* At least it's quieter
