we got off track here to clear things up: I am an RPG fan way more than an FPS fan, however I do play games other than F3. if you go an play COD5 and compare it against F3 you'll notice 2 things
1) controls are FAR superior in COD5 2) graphics are much better in COD5
Now stop being a snob and realize that if Bethesda used a different engine they would have had the perfect game, rather than something which is close, but agonizingly not there.
When I play a game like COD5 (or Halo 1 for that matter) the ability to control the character is VERY important towards the level of immersion that I feel.
Its the simple things like analog movement, eg. in F3 you're either running or your walking, in most FPS the amount you press on the stick controls how much movement you do. You also move at the same speed whether your strafing or walking backwards/forwards.
There are lots of little things about controls of FPSs that are simply better than F3. If you would stop thinking that you were so superior to us "unwashed gamers" you might understand that there is simply no reason for the clunkiness that exists in F3.
Like I said, there are three things missing from F3 that would make it a perfect game. Magic, superior graphics, superior controls.
Now as far as games being for PC gamers like yourself; some of us dont run windows on any computers, so Console games are the only big budget games we get to play.
Whats wrong is that, as an FPS it sucks compared to the previous game I played (COD5).
Im sure that if the game I played previous to Fallout3 was say, Original Doom, or some oldskool FPS it would be perfectly acceptable, but im used to really good FPSs now, and fallout3 just doesn't compare (as an FPS).
P.S. I used VATS too, but I wanted to <b>try</b> and play it like an FPS.
The problem with fallout 3 is that it was so close to being a FPS, but wasn't. I want to play it like a FPS but its just too inferior. I keep thinking to myself how awesome the game would have been if it was built on an FPS engine like the one used in Call of Duty 5
But, I sure as hell would not beat them to pulp and burn their house down
I suppose you think your better then me huh? Just cause I beat people to a pulp and burn their homes down (with their family in it i might add), when people lie to me.
IMHO this is really poor science, and even worse philosophy. After reading the paper, I see some major research faults here.
1) He didn't inform the participants that they were involved in the experiment : major ethical violation 2) Instead of using an experimental group with a rigid guideline of experimental procedures (eg hiring someone to play CoH as Twixt, giving them a specific list of actions they should do), Myers used himself in the experiment and basically made up the rules as he went along. Myers states "While in the beginning, Twixt played by these rules in silence, as time went by, Twixt became increasingly verbal in an attempt to explain his goals and motivations." In my view this change in Twixt's attitude could influence the test results. 2b) It is clear from his blog site that he was emotionally invested in the game, and thus Myer's research ability was negatively impacted by the desires he imparted on his character. As we all know from Mr Spock, emotion makes bad science.
After reading the paper I think it's rather clear that Myers is attempting to justify his crudeness in the game, and didn't have any real scientific interests in mind when he started the experiment. Either that, or he is a poor experimenter. Basically Myers found a loophole in the game which would make him near invincible and is attempting to justify his characters superiority (and thus boost Myer's self esteem) by writing a paper claiming he did everything in the name of scientific research.
Open your every day pulp fiction novel. Go to the back of the book. You'll see ads there for other books from the same publisher. Sometimes they are ads for books from the same author you just read, sometimes they are ads for similar genre books.

If you look at recent history (2005+) Mac has released 3 OSs (one of them to be sold for $30 if you upgrade) while Windows has released 2 (each around $270 to upgrade to the best version).
Sure, most people didn't upgrade to either ME or Vista, but that doesn't mean Redmond didn't try.

You can still make the calls to the Leviticus module, but dont expect them to be supported anymore.
I dont run windows on my home PCs. I bought a console so I could play games, so Im stuck on console gaming now.
this STALKER game is only PC right?

I guess the only really unethical thing is that she didn't swallow.
yeah like all those people in the world who should have died of small pox. I fucking hate science for helping so many people.
