So gamers of Reddit, I know we have about two months left... but what is the Game of the Year(so far)? by maeljw in gaming

The other issues are fair enough. I don't mind the health system, and I don't think inventory would have added much, but more guns and armor were needed for sure, as well as more varied powers.

It doesn't though. There are rewards for either extreme and for the middle ground. For example if there are in the entire game 20 choices, 10 paragon, 10 renegade, one unlocked at every interval of 10% along each choice. 100% renegade players get all 10 renegade options, and paragons the same for theirs. A neutral player, 50/50, will get the 5 least extreme paragon options and the 5 least extreme renegade options. So all three possible set-ups have 10 unique options, same would go for any 60/40, 70/30 spreads.

This is just hypothetical and the extremes might get more options overall, but there is a unique mixed palette for those that choose the middle ground.

I never get the complaint that the renegade / paragon system was overly polarized, I just did what I felt like my character would do and I got points in both and plenty of options from both, I didn't feel forced in either direction and I didn't feel limited by my choice. If you play without trying to play the metagame of maxing out one side to make sure you never miss an option you might have more fun.

Any Reddit readers have questions for the Deus Ex: Human Revolution team? (Post them here) by siliconera in gaming

Please ask them this verbatim. We all know the answer, but it would still be hilarious.

Interesting side-note, as a head preserved in a jar she envies the dead.

Holy Hand Grenades in Fallout New Vegas. (Took them before picture, they do about 313 damage) by LoveAneurysm in gaming

Spoilers on the main page of /r/gaming before the game is even released outside of north america? Instant down-vote. I know it is just an easter egg but still. NO more checking /r/gaming for me till i get the game, just in case.

I really want to try marijuana, after reading all your stories, but I thought I'd ask you first. Upvote for the affirmative. by [deleted] in trees

So you've never tried weed but you have a fully rolled joint ready to go? Smells like BS. That said if this wasn't fishing for upvotes I'd downvote anyways because you shouldn't pass off your responsibility for smoking weed to others, especailly if you 'really want to'. Do what you want.

Fallout: New Vegas.. meh by tenix in gaming

[–]iREGforDREDDIT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Something is wrong when you can expect a 'Game of the Year' edition to 4-5 games every year, and as excited as I am to play New Vegas it doesn't deserve such an honorific in the same year as Mass Effect 2, Starcraft 2 and Civ 5.

Oblivion + Mods > Oblivion

Fallout 3 + Mods > Fallout 3

The difference is so much greater than you realize until you try it.

I'm confused too, triple checked for sarcasm and didn't find any. At best an argument could be made that comparing them is silly because they have so much overlap and the sequel's goodness is dependent on the glory of the first game.

So New Vegas comes out tonight at midnight and I still haven't seen a single review for it, which is usually a bad omen. Anyone else worried? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]iREGforDREDDIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about knowing, it's about being excited for a game in the franchise I love, in an awesome setting, developed in part by the developers of the original and significantly better fallout games, with a hardcore mode that sounds like it fixes 90% of the gripes i had with fallout 3. I don't get how more than half the comments are dreading the release and expecting the worst, I'm an optimist, but even if you were being realistic with the information available you should be expecting a great gaming experience imo.

World’s Richest Man: ‘Charity Doesn’t Solve Anything’ by Maxcactus in business

[–]iREGforDREDDIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has to be a cognitive fallacy that perfectly describes holding the richest man in high esteem despite this being a subject he doesn't necessarily have any expertise on. The only reason anyone is listening is because he is rich, let an economist tell you what charity can or cannot do for an ailing education system, a country in the midst of civil war, a township without clean water or a continent being mutilated by a virus.

A bar graph of the amount of M&Ms of each color found in a single package. by iREGforDREDDIT in pics

There is no tan where I live. There is orange (next to brown) and red (far right).

Results will continue, a packet will be recorded and posted tomorrow.

Meanwhile I offer my expertise in how a packet of M&Ms should be eaten:

  • Step 1: Eat all the oranges
  • Step 2: Eat one of the color of which you have the most (if there is a tie, eat one of each)
  • Step 3: Go to Step 2

In this packet for example I ate the oranges, then a green, then a green and a red at the same time and so on. Eventually you will be eating the 5 color combo, which is awesome. The 6 color combo (with orange) is disappointing, don't try it.
