The negative impressions for the F3 DLC on GAF make me :whistle2:(.[quote name='GAFdude1']Thats what the DLC feels like. (At least the start of it anyway)
Super linear FPS version of Fallout 3 without all the micro managing of ammo, health, items ect that makes the game so good. Its taken away completely. You revive ammo and health via stations that are almost like checkpoints I guess.

Its also complete with guards that duck and pop up from behind crates/boxes with really bad A.I. Just like in silo from Goldeneye 007 on N64. Three times guards actually ran up to me and keep running past to find crates behind me they could hide behind. they then comenced the ducking up and down routine. other times I flanked them and they just sat there doing nothing.[/QUOTE][quote name='GAFdude2']Just finished the DLC and I can't say I'm impressed at all. Basically, everything you know and love about Fallout 3 is gone in O:A. They took out exploration and even being able to search boxes, lockers and bodies, instead focusing on an action-orientated linear mission that plagues every random shooter in existence.

I finished it in 2.5 hours or something, but I didn't have any fun to be honest. I never was close to dying once, I just ran out into the field like an idiot blasting away and that got me though the mission.

No this won't do at all, but I'm afraid the next two will be similar to this. I'd rather take a real expansion to this nonsense any day.[/QUOTE]

Slightly spoilerish impressions:

[quote name='GAFdude3']Here are my impressions from the two hours I've played. I've gotten two of the achievements so far:

-When you get to the area of the DLC sidequest, you first have to help a group of brotherhood outcasts fight off some super mutants. Then you follow them into their base.

-Once you're in the simulator, you have to infiltrate a Chinese base solo. You lose all your stuff, like Tranquility Lane. You're given a silenced 10mm pistol, a knife, a stealth boy, and apparel. The guy with you says you have the option of going stealth or guns blazing. I went stealth until I met up with him again, even after I picked up a Chinese assault rifle.

-After that, you destroy some Chinese weaponry. When you're done, it brings you to the US base for a debriefing. That's where I stopped.

-It's all combat. You fight tons of Chinese soldiers. You also fight some invisible ninjas who remind me of Raiden from MGS4.

-When enemies die, they evaporate, preventing you from searching their corpses.

-You can't pick up as many items laying around as you can in the main game. I'm not sure you can pick up anything non-weaponry actually. For example, I saw a pile of metal scrap, but couldn't pick it up.

-There are red glowing health and ammo re-generators as you go along. They refill both completely and you can use them infinitely. They also seem to always have weapons, grenades and mines next to them.

-It's super linear so far, reminds me of a FPS more then the rest of the game. There are a few side areas to explore, but not a lot.[/QUOTE]

And now I'm interested in a PC game.
 
I'm pretty sure it says "Ric Flair" on the pic.

Man I need to take some time off, but work backs up when I do...I fucking hate my job.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']:whee:

(I guess I should finish the game before I purchase it though)[/quote]

Why do that? That's just silly.
 
I had another guy looking at porn in here. This one i screwed around with.

I blocked the PC he was using, he moved down one PC. I blocked that one, he moved down again. I kept going til he ran out of systems. :lol:
 
I fell asleep early last night, and didn't get to study for my test.

I pretty much came home, ate dinner, finished watching my DVR'd Jimmy Neutron, and fell asleep on the couch.

I didn't even take my laptop out of my backpack. At least I got over eight hours of sleep.

Also, wow, what did you major in? I know you've mentioned it before, but I cannot recall what it was.

Illegal paraphernalia and contraband.
 
I've stopped telling anyone my major is "Computer Information Systems." I just say computer science and they nod their heads.
 
Interesting.

I switched my major to advertising, but would love to do what you're doing (with the filming stuff, not the college student watcher person thing). I might have to minor in some sort of communications-related thing.

My intent was to major in film and new media (which is, of course, film), but when I realized how low the hire rate for that degree was, I had to switch.

Granted, I think advertising will give me plenty of opportunity to work with that sort of stuff anyway.

I think things would be a lot better for media jobs if the economy hadn't tanked. Media/PR/Advertising/etc are the first things that get axed from a budget when the economy is weak or cuts need to be made. Companies (well, most) don't need to advertise or produce media, but they do need to produce their product first and foremost.

I know a lot of unemployed or severely limited film/tv people who either can't get/find a job, or are freelancing but having a tough time finding work. I've only gotten 1 freelance offer in the last 3 months, and it was yesterday but had too quick a turnaround. If I was unemployed, I would have done the work in a heartbeat, but I don't have time to do freelance crap at night when I have a 2 hour commute home and a kid to take care of.

No, you dont want to do what Lord and I do. I suggest a real job. But if you really want to, you dont really have to major or minor in it. Its a career that really could give a crap about degree. You need a good internship to get your foot in the door.
 
[quote name='JolietJake']So what you're saying, is that a trained monkey could do your job?[/quote]he is a trained monkey, dog.

I think he's black or something!
 
I would have to say majoring in film/TV was probably the biggest mistake I've made. I knew what I was getting myself into, and even as one of the top ranked students in my major, I wasn't able to break into the field successfully.

I have a ton of skills (editing, directing, producing, writing) and I spent all of my internships working in outlying fields in the film industry (doing PR/Marketing/Event planning for film festivals, etc) so that I'd have those types of job open to me. And additionally, I spent 4 years working in student affairs/development while in college to try and open those jobs to me as well.

Instead, I've found the media jobs are gone, the event planning/marketing jobs are telling me I'm not experienced enough (since the layoffs mean many more experienced people are taking $20-$30k paycuts to work in entry-level positions), and student affairs is telling me I need a Master's.

I'd tell anyone who asks to avoid going into film/tv/production. I know a TON of people in the field, and most can barely afford their rent.

As far as what JJ said, I disagree, I spent 3 years learning AVID and Final Cut and I don't even think I'm great at it, but I can do it. The problem is that there's a billion people who have the same skills, many whom are more experienced or who have better connections. It'd be like if there were only 20 jobs for chemical engineers across the country, everyone else with training in the field would be fucked.

Yeah, that's sort of what I expected. I don't graduate for a while, though, so hopefully things will be on the upswing by the time I get out of here. Regardless, there are some good advertising firms here, and while Nebraska isn't doing great, our economy is a bit more stable than the rest of the country's economy.

If I didn't have a job, I would take advantage of so many more opportunities. Unfortunately, I need an income, and having no set schedule (I can go to work and leave whenever) is something I can't give up, as long as I'm in school.

[quote name='JolietJake']I cringe when someone tells me they're a marketing major. Why anyone would want to be in marketing is beyond me.[/quote]

Advertising, mang. Marketing people sort of suck.

I suppose I want to do it for the experience. What I really want to do is write and direct films, but that's such a non-guaranteed thing.

I hate you guys.

But no, I am saying it values experience way above a piece a paper that says you can do it. So yeah, a degree is nice and all but no one will flock to you just because you have one. They will take a look if you have a good internship under your belt.
 
You ever crack open Ninja Gaiden II #83? Damn good game, but I had to play it in :baby: mode. I think I made it to chapter 5 on normal. :lol:
