>>80602When does she do any Bible bashing? Or is it that, by being Christian/Catholic, she's instantly a Bible basher?Now if you were to say that Kaidan is better than embarrassingly racist Ashley, then yeah. Alenko is better, if only because he's never said aliens should drown in their own lake in front of the Elcor ambassador.
>>80602Go away, Senor.>>80610She may be a bit racist, but at least she has personality (and he's not that much better on the racism front, frankly). Talking with Kaidan feels exactly like talking with Carth Onasi all over again: he's an alright guy, I don't even have anything against him as a character, but every word that comes out of his mouth feels like biting down on paper.

>>80987>Wake up.
>>80987Really makes yo think about how terrible and unimaginative the enemies in fallout 3 are
>>81066>I have never played the old Fallout games, look at what a newfag I am!
>>81071Wow what an irrelevant and pointless post. Congratulations on making yourself look like a gargantuan tit.Anyway, games like L4D show enemies that really display creative use of the environment crawling over rooftops and lumbering through walls. It really shows what you can do with the FPS format. Fallout stuck with the same idea of enemies that every other mediocre FPS has been trawling out, guys running forwards at you angrily. Little to no environmental experimentation.Fallout 1 and 2, being isometric RPGs over a decade old, didn't have that kind of freedom. No it wasn't the most astoundingly creative use of enemies, but that was more to do with the restrictions of the format and era.in b4 lolololol i trol u
>>81073Uh...enemies in L4D just run at you as well, it just doesn't look like it because they have stuff to jump over sometimes. The real genius is whoever programmed the algorithms to make them change their direction as soon as you do to head you off every single god damn time. I'm still fascinated by it to this day.
>>81074I was talking more the affomentioned Smoker and Jockey. That kind of creative character use. What was there to stop Super Mutants busting throgh walls with their gigantic sledgehammers? What was to stop ghouls leaping from balconies onto your head? It's just lazy stagnation that the industry thrives on apparently. Only have to look at the success of the Call of Duty games to see that.
>>81075>What was there to stop Super Mutants busting throgh walls with their gigantic sledgehammers? The engine.>What was to stop ghouls leaping from balconies onto your head? The fact that they'd be broken into pieces if they tried.
>>81075In their defense, it's haaaaaaaarrrrrrrdddddddd waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa to develop destructable environments and fully-interactive environments. Video unrelated.
>>80817Actualy this would make sense given that [spoiler] Jack is BB's name as well as the name of John's only son and his heir [spoiler]
>>81075Because that's not the style of gameplay that it was going for?L4D was designed to include the Special Infected to combat the dependency on teamwork. Each SI is designed to break up the squad. The Hunter immobilizes, the Smoker drags away, the Jockey steals control of the Survivor, the Spitter can create a barrier between group members, etc.Fallout 3 wasn't built for teamwork. A Hunter-styled Ghoul couldn't use its entire purpose: To pin down a player and force their teammates to rescue them.So Fallout 3 doesn't have a lot in the way of unique fighting styles. So what? Neither does Super Mario Galaxy. Neither does Red Dead Redemption. Are they bad, stagnant games too?

>>81079I just think they could have done a lot more with the game. The shooting aspect of the game felt clunky and outdated, enemies were stupid and limited. Are you telling me you wouldn't have enjoyed the game more if your enemies made use of the world more? If they had creative tactics to them? Again, I never said it's a bad game.Also logical fallacies are stupid.

>>81132The thought of that made my day.
>>81137This is the second 4E D&D campaign I've played with this group, but it seems like making it pirate-themed somehow opened up a gate to Awesometown. Stuff like this just keeps happening, but I'd say that nothing so far has topped this event from last week's encounter:>they're fighting lizardfolk on the deck of a beached pirate ship>the artificer casts thundering armor (her favorite spell) on the paladin, pushing a lizardfolk off of the side>between the attack and the fall, it's prone and banged up pretty bad but still has a couple of HP left>the paladin wants to finish it off, but she can't get down fast enough and doesn't have any ranged attacks>she asks if she can use debris as an improvised weapon, and I say that a chunk of wood from the railing will suffice>she yanks off a handful and throws it down>critical hit>"The lizardfolk looks up from the ground just in time to see a piece of wood shoot down and lodge into its neck."I love narrating shit like this.
>A Boy and His Blob>Wow, this is so easy, but still fun.>Even the bosses aren't that hard>2nd BossEven before the boss fight this guy was giving me chills sitting in the distant background, watching me. Then the boss fight starts and before I know it I'm dead. Still, I started it and in one day already beat 2/3rds... with larger breaks in between. I'm really loving the sprites and the gameplay, but I know I'm gonna want so much more.
