Squee:

You mean there are people who actually like the idea of weightless ammo? I thought that sounded terrible. A big attraction in the original Fallouts (And to a lesser extent, Stalker) for me was deciding what weapon I wanted to use based on ammo rarity and weight. Sure, a minigun does massive damage in a cone, but if you’re lugging around enough ammo to use it in a few firefights you’ll be limited on what else you can carry.

I’m sure they will weigh the minigun type heavy weapons appropriately so that it will be the gun weight itself instead of the ammo that makes your decisions for you. The gun weight or your total weight may also affect the number of AP you get to use in VATS.

Kunikos:

Are you reading-retarded or something? I just posted, AND YOU QUOTED, the fact that ammo has no weight.

I think Aeon simply mis-spoke or got confused. His earlier comments make clear that he is a fan of weightless ammo.

Not sure that needed a name calling response.

This thread contains great anger, and will consume all who come near it.

And really; weightless ammo? Are we REALLY getting het up over weightless ammo?

The question for 3 is, how many in comparison? When they stress that the number is minute compared to Oblivion, and that they tried to cover deaths where they could, you don’t really know how bad it will be.

Definitely. I’m not writing the whole game off because of it, but like I was saying, it’s just another little thing that kinda gets to me.

I may be reading retarded, but at least I was smart enough not to click the link either time =D

Maybe you are, but I’m standing up for the real travesty: Eyebrows. The eyebrows have ruined the game!

Stop posting ‘Suck my dick’. Google keep throwing only remotely SFW (ATOAW - awkward to explain at work) gay personal ads at the top.
I guess this thread is now officially gay.

I guess you’re no friend of Firefox and Adblock.

Try searching QT3 for Adblock and you’ll have your answer.

The banned in Australia rumor was true

Yeah thanks.
Makes surfing QT3 at work even more interesting -> alt+tab faster than someone passing your back.

Great, now they’re leaving off the period, too. It’s a complete sentence, people!

Roy_Ziegler · 2008-07-09T09:40:21.000Z

Hey, hey, hey. I just posted it once. You guys are the ones who keep quoting it for the new page.

And bummer about Australia, I guess.

Every ad you block on QT3 makes baby Chet cry.

WTF does “refused classification” mean? Can Australians still buy the game online (through the mail or via digital distribution) ?

Killzig · 2008-07-09T10:25:51.000Z

I think, as Dhruin said in the other thread, they’ll cut some of the more offensive stuff out and re-submit for classification. I think importation is illegal but not strictly enforced afaik. Is Oblivion available on any of those digital distribution services?

Bob_Violence · 2008-07-09T10:27:27.000Z

“Refused Classification” means it falls outside the OFLC’s guidelines and doesn’t merit either a rating or an exemption. It’s a de facto ban, since anything without a rating or an exemption (educational materials and some documentaries) can’t be sold in Australia and is liable to be seized by customs (and customs does seize this stuff, even if some of it inevitably gets through).

Killzig · 2008-07-09T10:31:11.000Z

Classification is mandatory, and films that are refused classification by the OFLC are banned for sale, hire, public exhibition or importation into Australia, carrying a maximum fine of $275,000 and/or 10 years jail. It is also illegal to possess content that has been Refused Classification due to illegal content (e.g. child pornography).

from wikipedia.

… can you download the stuff legally via Steam or Direct2Drive then? Or is that out as well?
