That along with Project Justice would be the best gaming news I've heard in a long time.

How ya doing, buddy?

Bethesda's and Obsidian's sites don't have any news relating to this up yet, so for now, I guess it falls under rumor. I loved Fallout 3, so if this ends up being true, I'm definitely going to pick this up. While the announcement of a new game is pretty sweet, when the hell is the Broken Steel DLC supposed to be released?

Actually, I'd say that this caters more to the Fallout 1 and 2 fans.

So, are you guys gonna make an attempt at playing this game seriously or are you all going to just play it for about a week or two and never touch it again? (Street Fighter 4 anyone?)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

My apologies for being snobbish in that post. Just, I can't help but wonder why people buy these games sometimes when they only play it for X amount of time, never care enough to get better, then just throw it off to the side. It has me thinking "Why are they so excited about it in the first place then?".

At least that's how it always used to be in the arcades round here. You'd get a load of spotty nerds hanging around the SF3 and KoF cabinets discussing counter ranges and pokes and what ever the fuck it is you weirdos talk about and the MvC and similar games would just have people having a laugh and playing the game on them.

It's a sillier game but there's still room to have serious fights which is why I like it. Hopefully this release will have decent online connectivity and I won't be too handicapped using the shitty 360 d-pad (Because you can fuck right off if you think I'm spending £100 on an arcade stick to play a game that costs a tenner and I already have several iterations of on a console I do have a decent arcade stick for). I suppose I could get a PS3 and the PSN version and use my old Namco arcade stick to play it.

Anyway, I'll probably be buying this and studiously avoiding anyone who talks about frame cancelling and tiering of characters.

That's the thing. I never said "You guys should be spending at least 5 hour a day on this game to get better otherwise, you should not be playing this game!". I AM however questioning why people would want to purchase this game unless they fit one of these 2 things:

-They got a group of buddies that they wanna stick with and don't care about getting much better at the game overall and won't bother playing with randoms.

-They want to seriously learn the game.

I would like to just remind everyone that if you fall under the first one, don't start complaining about the game when you start to run into this (which will be a lot more often than other games since this game is insanely popular in America):

Also, the people that fall under the second one will far outnumber the people who fall under the first after a few weeks. THIS is the reason why fighting games are such a niche market. It's also (IMO) the biggest problem with fighting games. Some people like tackle football, and other people like tag football.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Okay, I apologize for getting you guys all riled up. Thank you Shin for at least answering the question.

Just read about this:

Tekken 6 for the PSP? Finally something entertaining to play while on the shitter!

I was speaking idiomatically.

I do. Just finished all the games that I currently own.
