"It's too much like an FPS there is no RPGness to it."

That its not the next entry in the storied elder scrolls franchise which would be elder scrolls v.

Im sure there are gonna be people whining about " its to much of an fps game :cryvaultboy: "

LOL I just said that. I don't see why people are so butthurt about it though. Sawyer confirmed that you can calculate damage and such while in real time combat lol.

"My stimpacks, they do NOTHING!! PS: IM on hardcoe mode"

Why is this game on steam?

Oh wait, people are already saying that....

I didn't see your post, and I don't get it either, people can still play in VATS and besides when your VATS meter runs out you have to play it like an fps so why does it bother people that the fps part of the game is better?
besides I love playing Fallout like an fps :gun:

How do you calculate damage in real time combat?

you use your noggin

Weapon Damage, Type of ammunition, the type of Armor the enemy is wearing. Quite simple really lol

But the game doesn't calculate it for you and show you actual numbers while your hitting in combat.

Like Paragon said use your noggin. The game won't babysit you by telling you these things. You have to figure out what each weapon's damage output. Is it effective against certain type of enemies? Does their armor have low or high Damage Resistance or Damage threshold? Is the type of ammunition I'm using effective against these enemies?

Asking yourself these questions while playing is calculating damage. The game doesn't need to explicitly tell you you're doing an amount of damage to be able to calculate damage

"Why is there so much talking ithought thids was action gaem liek just cuz 2 or Red faction"
"you stole reputation system idea frum alpha protocol you palgurists!"
Y cant i use helios 1 all teh tiem i taught it was a good wepon?"
"Why dont anyof teh guns have pictany rails for deir attachments? Why no GL attachment? Cod and battlefielf have em too and they r fpses."
That's it for now it hurts my head to think this stupidly for even a short amount of time.

Wow, any grammar-nazi's see that and their heads are gonna blow up in fury. :laugh:

Yea but in turn based rpgs like dragon quest, final fantasy, etc it shows you a number above the enemy after you attack showing the damage...

you played FO3 right?
you know the little tick marks below the name of whoever your targeting?
you have to judge (using your noggin) how many ticks your shot just took off and where to go from there

But this isn't a turn based RPG

I want turnbased iso!!!

(No really... I actually would like that. Bring back XCom!!)

What I'll complain about:

1 Damage Threshold doesn't work how I thought it would. And feel quirky.
2 Not enough dialogue options(only good, grey, evil ,dumb dialogue), I hope theres plenty.
3 Vegas isn't as big as I thought it was going to be.
4 Not enough items to craft for the crafting system.
5 Mad that I can't use mods on console(pretty much any game)
6 No bows or crossbows(I really would like them)

yeah thats what will get me.

"Why can't i import my charactr from Fallout3?!"
"Super mutants are supposed to be idiots! This is a disgrace to canon!"
"Raul shood sound funni sence he dosnt hav a nose."
"Why cant i become a super mutant too?>"
"Why can't i change teh channel on the tv bots?"
"I want to be able to mod my guns whenever i want using an ingame menu from the pipboy to but them"
"Why arent there 50 different handgrips for the assault carbine?"
"Why cant i have maxed special? fix bugg plz kthnx"
"Dinky the dinosuar isnt structually sound this game is unrealistic."
"Where arethe desrructable enviroments? All teh gud gaims have them nowadays."
"Why do i have to pick a fighting style? Why can't i be profficient with every weapon in the gaem and B unstoppable too all tjhe noobs i come across!"(the strawman idiot here thinks the NPCs are other players)

"NO ENERGY WEAPONS, HUNTING RIFLES ONLY.





FINAL DESTINATION!"

Erm, what?
Mind explaining that sir?

"Wow I do nots get to pick moar than 15 perks, this is stoopid."

Even after 3 months of release:

"WHY CAN'T I IMPORT MY SAVES FROM FALLOUT 3?!?!?!?!?"

A shame the new XCOM game is a first person affair, eh?

Wow...To think a crack I made in a thread would evolve thusly...
