411Mania goes down on Fallout Enforcer, swallows twice
<strong>[ -> Review]</strong>
In probably the funniest review on the 'net so far, <A href="http://www.411mania.com/">411Mania</a> has posted this <a href="http://www.411mania.com/games/reviews/a ... 2645">ball of swill review</a> for <b>Fallout Enforcer</b>, giving it heaps of love and a <b>7.5/10</b> rating. It's so funny, in fact, it starts off like this:
<br>
<br><blockquote>The game contains a lot of trademark Fallout features, from mature and funny dialogue, to send up's of 50?s sci-fi movies. It looks and feels like a Fallout game, but yet it's also obviously a Baldur's Gate game. And I think that's where the little bit of resentment to this game has come from. Fallout fans pissed because it plays different from the original Fallout, which is bloody stupid considering Fallout Tactics played differently from Fallout. And people who are Baldur's Gate: DA fans having a cow because their precious engine following 3rd edition D&D was stripped down for a Fallout game. Which again I feel is stupid. But hey, what else is the Internet for except a place for people with marginal spelling ability and ever worse grammar to post diatribes on games that aren't exactly like they were in their own personal masturbatory fantasies? </blockquote>
<br>
<br>I'm guessing he wants the attention his mother never game him, because he included his <A href="mailto:alexanderlucard@usa.net?subject=Review:%20Fallout:%20Brotherhood%20Of%20Steel%20(XB)">email address</a> at the top of the page.
<br>
<br>There's a bit of irony that he's ragging on anyone's spelling and grammar ability in this paragraph. Just how many sentences in one paragraph can start with a conjunction? Also, it's <i>ups</i>, not <i>up's</i>, because it's a <i>plural</i> rather than a contraction or a noun in the possessive. I could go on and on, but the point is that if you want to spank around other people for their artful use of the English language, it's probably a good idea to make sure you just simply haven't <b>fucked yours up</b> in the same body of work.

Yeah, that whole damned review reads like it was written by an English as a Second Language student. Hell, I only had two semisters of English courses after high school due to the science focused major, and even I can write better than that. It's pretty pathetic he accuses Fallout fans of not being able to write well in English, when he can't seem to muster up enough knowledge of the language to even write that sentence about our grammer and spelling without two fairly big errors. After all, this is a review, something more formal than a typical forum post with all the time in the world to proof read it.Killzig wrote:and ever worse.... wow... i don't think i can stomach reading the full review.

Fallout is a cult game. BG:DA is a cult game. You’d think combining the two would almost make it mainstream popular. But in fact a lot of people seem to be bitching about this game. Why I covered and dismissed above. But when the game has alienated a portion of its fan base of the bat, it’s not a good sign. Still, SNK fans bitch every time a new KoF game comes out and they still buy it and praise it after it is in their grubby little hands. So I’m sure the same will happen here.
Yea . Lets start praising . Oh wait .

You know, Sean, the funniest thing in the whole review, the part I laughed the most at, would have to be, <i>BG: DA is a cult game</i>. It doesn't get much more mass market than BG: DA.SeanDMan wrote:411 is my home page and I generally like Alex, and some of his reveiws have been spot on in the past...
But he blew it this time.

I didn't go to the IPLY forums and ask anything, and I'm pretty sure most of us didn't...regardless, I want to know how Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel compares to other action titles released on this generation of systems...I'm not even going to say RECENT, merely any fairly well known title to come out on PC or X-BOX, that happens to be an action game.abnathapryde wrote:Did that make you feel good, I bet you feel like a big man now, good job, good job....
....Soooo if you guys came over to Interplay forums and ask me to come back here what the hell do you want anyway...
