People complained about the lack of nut shots not because it was the lack of nut shots but because it was just a part of the whole pussifying for teenage morons.

head shots = juvenile, included because of xbox kiddies

groin shots = mature, removed because of pussifying

I used it when not fighting. Running around in 1st person all the times makes me dizzy.

Did they say they had groin shots? Seems that the article only mentions targeted hits to the groin with the spiked knuckles, as in it being a "special" move with that particular weapon.

Well, there's that "Fore!" attack with the golf club that is a groinshot. I don't think they would just give groinshot capabilities to some weapons, and not for all.

I think some weapons just have special attacks that go for the groin.

Nowhere does it say the "Fore" attack is a groin shot. It just says it knocks the opponent and gives you a chance for free attacks.

Is the author of this article 15 years old? Because that's how old I was when I thought that nut-punching, decapitation, and explosions were kewl and awe-sum, and worthy of an article.

Now, can an adult write some paragraphs about actual, important gameplay features?
Dude, if you want Brits sitting around in Oxford chairs smoking their pipes and talking about the stock market, you're in the wrong place, brother. Go away. Fallout fans like this. This is what Fallout is.

No, this is fallout. It might even be 4 pixels high.

i just watched an interview with MCA wherein the word "actually" was used at least 30 times and i got the distinct impression that when he says "here comes the way of sex" he's not talking about vaginas.

in all seriousness, that's the only "news" i gained from the interview. also: i'm straight but not against vagina-haters. i love 'em (vaginas), but realize it's like Thai food....too spicy for some.

So the guy never realized you could tune the third person camera in fo3, achieving the same effect he describes: the bottom of the screen is at the level of your hips, you don't see your legs when looking straight ahead, when you zoom in to shoot you get the same angle as in ClockworkKnight's pics of RE5, Splinter Cell etc

^Fuck, you're right. I even see that in youtube mod videos all the time :facepalm:

But since it's not like that by default, I never noticed it when playing (neither did IGN, apparently), the default 3rd was good enough so I don't get nauseous. I hope you can revert it to Fo3's default, then.
