Duck and Cover

It has definetly got off topic, but I will note i am not really defending Fallout 3, just listing the reasons why I enjoyed it. You guys seem to be a pretty intelligent crowd and I completely agree this interview was pretty good, and I really hope he will do good stuff with the mmo he will be workin...

What REALLY made me physically and mentally angry at Fallout 3 was for instance how they included 'slavers' in the game. When I found out there were slavers there, I thought it'd be cool like in Fallout 2, the Den. You'd be a badass slaver. But no, of course not. They fucked that one up too. Instea...

Yeah I loved it, a shame troika didn't do better with that title. Really much difference between how different classes can solve quests as well. It was the sole reason I upgraded my ram at the time, unfortunately it was really buggy, but some custom patches fixed most of the issues

The original syndicate was awesome and should be recognized as such. Syndicate wars felt very different and was in many ways a different take on the same idea. I think they improved on it and I ended up spending more time in wars. Not to mention the multiplayer support in syndicate wars. Used to pla...

Yup that might be the right approach, but I would like to see more developers try it out. I think valve had that in mind with the hl2 episodes, only they are taking what more than 2 years per episode, have no idea why that is though. But yeah so far it seems that sam and max is the only game success...

If you are referring to chronicles of riddick dark athena, then it came out 2009 . I think the only big games I played 2008 were gta IV and fallout 3 and I guess world of goo and rollercoaster tycoon 2 as well. The problem with shortness + more expensive is a difficult problem, and movies suffer fro...

I can completely understand that angle, the gaming press should continue to keep their standards up, and recently the scores given seems to be really relative to things that have been released in the last couple of years or so. The console scores I think also reflect that even more because more ofte...

A good list, I can understand it and I should have browsed the forum instead of being lazy and post it. Perhaps I have played so many games over the years that I have become to accept lesser things as ok or good, although I never forget the truly great ones and truly appreciate originality when it s...

hahaha, sorry Caleb but you are just too angry at the world. Sure i've played dwarf fortress, and been playing video games since the last 20 years, multiplayer on a modem, and still old games on occation because there is just no replacement for them. You sound like an old bitter angry old man, and I...

I completely agree the story in FO3 is not very strong, and it is not the reason I like it and NPC killing protection is far overused. However if you make a story which depends on characters (mostly your father though) , which they did, it would be problematic to make them die. Otherwise I agree wit...

There are a few interesting points in these posts. The most thing people seem to agree on is the voice acting. I must admit I haven't noticed this being subpar to other recent games. The random encounters and lack of interaction with it I can agree on, were really fun in fallout 2 and added a lot of...

I came here from shacknews, must admit haven't been to any fallout forums recently, except to get some f3 mods. To answer your question I would like a list of grievances you or others have about it, or at least a quick summary. F3 perhaps doesn't have the strongest main story, but I don't think fall...

I liked his quote about "Of course, I would have done things differently if I had made it." Yeah, I really liked that part as well. It felt like he was winking his eye to the Fallout community: 'blahblahblah fallout 3 was nice -- of course, I would have done things differently if I had ma...
