@Jacob

I wondered if it would be capped since Oblivion was. That's fantastic to know that my armor is essentially for show now. Guess I'll be working on my light armor thief now. Or perhaps just a set of doubly enchanted Jester's gear would do...

Good deal. I (like Orion) also appreciate you getting down to the more broken aspects of the game, such as smith scaling and 0% magicka cost spells through enchanting. I was telling my friend the other day that smithing is entirely broken. If they were to employ a more WoW-style system where certain items no longer add to your overall skill progress after a certain point, it would help to balance it out a bit. Iron is very easily found in the world and leather strips are cheap and easy to craft, so spamming iron daggers is the way to go ATM.

I also have a problem with the overall difficulty being too easy. Going to have to bump it up a notch. At level 40 I have 730 armor and over 260 combined weapon damage. I could have literally sieged a city by myself.

Those complaints aside, I've sunk about 75 hours into the game with no end in sight and I'm loving it. A few balancing issues out of the way with a few patches and l think we'll hit the sweet spot.

Well at least it's not as bad as Spores. I like the idea of the "revokes" you get when you uninstall. Too bad you'll probably need to have an internet connection when you do so, so crashes or HD wipes due to failure won't cover it.

Yes both can use it but the arcade version does not include Live materials such as a headset or ethernet cable.

Actually you know what? I'd be willing to bet what others have said. A prequel. Not Halo 4, but a prequel that chronicles the ODST's and other Marines before the Spartans were around. Maybe even the Spartans before the armor came around? (Fall of Reach style).

Yep, I'd be willing to be H3 for PC, but it's early. H1 for PC was '03 I think, and H2 for PC was '07.

PLEASE for the love of PC gaming get rid of SecuROM. Has to be the most retarded form of "security" in the history of game disc security. That, combined with the rest of the unpleasant DRM, forces PC gamers into a pigeon hole where every person in the household must have a copy of the game to play. I don't know about you guys, but I enjoy playing SP and LAN games with my family and I have installed games like CoH (1.71) without an issue, and it's great fun. Now if I wanted to play Spore with all my familly members that's over $200 in games. Who can afford that in today's economic status?

I would have hoped FiringSquad would give up on contests since they can't live up to them within any sort of reasonably time limit.

Well FSgeeK, that's not GSC's fault. Not all games can simply be compatible with Vista, so blame it on Vista and it's poor support for everything.

Did you do the STALKER Vista fix that allows 3+Gb of RAM to be addressed within the game engine? If not you will experience crashes.

Simply patch up to the fifth game patch and search FS for Sqitso's post about Vista's STALKER fix. It involves running a small batch program to change the addressing limit in the games .exe file. Very simple command line stuff.

Well Lyle, if you can't pick a winner in a timely manner then why bother? By the way, IMO, the picture from the winner of the CM contest was terrible.

I emailed Lyle back in May and got a response along the lines of "Cooler Master isn't talking" but that was in May, this is July. I've emailed him again due to this contest and also the surprising decrease in site ad quality and also for Brett Todd's horrendous article titles and opinionated reviews.

How do you know it is considered "crap" to everyone? I want to know how you came to be hired by FS Brett. By the way, your Haze review had some pretty obvious grammar problems.

*shakes head disappointingly*

Agreed with the above comments. FS has become very poor at organizing contests. I refuse to enter unless something is resolved with the CM contest.

By the way, I emailed Lyle once, got a response, and that was in May. I emailed him again.

Edit - seems to be the same one. WTF?

Very nice, now if only it wasn't back to WWII. I've yet to see a kick ass 'Nam game, it would be nice if they could do that instead, but I digress. Co-op should be worth it.

Again, your opinion is your own Mr. Todd. As far as I know, this is the last MGS to feature Solid Snake as a character, so of course they will let him go out with a bang. And yes, it does sound like something I'd like to sit through.

How would you know what mental state he's in? Quit trying to start flame wars.

It IS up to parents to keep violent video games out of their children's hands, end of story.

I still say the 8800GT. You can't find a G92 GTS for $170 and the GTS is only a small percentage faster.

Don't apologize to EA, EA blows.

And why would you want a modern River Raid? That would be like making a modern Space Invaders.

Did you patch it? The patches fixed a lot of the problems of the first game and the final product runs pretty well.

Nice! Can't wait for the next installment. DX10 ftw!

Yes people love to hate Doom 3, probably because of repetition. You do the same things over and over until the end of the game without too much of a storyline. I think the developers relied on scare tactics and excellent visuals rather than story to carry the game. I still play it here and here though!

This was announced quite a few months ago. Obviously I love STALKER and the August release date SUCKS but I'll deal with it.
