Forum Highlights and a basic review as I read through this train wreck
----------------------------
For everyone elses sake, I've decided to look through the WHOLE thread (or atleast the one I found, it was locked and stickied and entitled FO3)and comment on some of my favorite quotes as well as general opinions I get from the forum. These were written as I read em so the first statements probably apply early on in the forum and the other ones later on. This will be long because I have alot of spare time for this obviousily.
And aw fuck you guys, I just found ANOTHER thread with another 20 pages worth of shit. I'll finish this later.....but without further ado the highlights to
THREADY LINK
"Frequented" by utter morons seems to be an understatement. It seems like they've taken permanent residence there.
a first person 3d fallout with a full, Morrowind style world would be so awesome I would probably crap my pants if I thought about it for too long.
If thinking like this is common I fully expect FO3 to suck. Ofcourse, even some of the people who apperantly seem like the "Hardcore fallout guys loller" don't seem too bright. One guy felt that "that Python-ish humour" was a major part of the games. He then goes on to say that he doesn't think violent and mature games will do well, this with the fact that Grand Theft Auto is still the #1 best selling game (Could be wrong, but thats my guess)
Aw for gods sake, I'm only on page 3 and I'm starting to hate everyone there. Never mind, going further in there appear to be people who make more sense. Honestly, the forum seems to be made for sucking Todd Howards's dick more then anything else.
I think I just found my favorite quote
But why would you do that? just to be a jerk (thease forums are monitored for language) people like you are just mean I hope you get they all get banned 500 times.
Gee Whillickers, looks like we're all jerk poo heads.
let me remind you that most people playing a firstperson fallout would be wielding guns. so the combat would not suck. i am a huge fallout fan and have been since i was like 13. and theres nothing i've ever wanted more then a firstperson game set in the fallout universe. and for someone to say i'm not a fan or i'm stupid for wanting this...thats just lame.
I just wanted to put this here so I can call this guy stupid and not a fan. No other reason really.
Why is it that Metriod seems to be brought up so often when talking about changed a game from one type of game to another (2-d Platformer to 1st person). I mean even if Metriod was a "great game" (I've never played it nor have any intentions) its only ONE example of something succesful. Look at how many games tried to make the cross over and failed. Lord knows I finally got a good Contra game after about 6 years and the only thing it took was trying to NOT REINVENT THE FORMULA.
2nd, I think Fallout 3 will proboly to First Person. Trionka proboly would of done it. The oringal devs proboly would too. Wasn't there a interview a long time ago with one of the Fallout 2 devs about that?
I always feel better when people don't know what the fuck they're talking about, it always makes me feel like the most intelligent person on the interweb.
Why doesn't every fallout fan say something nice about morrowind
Because for the most part, we felt that Morrowind was a mediocre experience that was big, empty, and boring like a certain game company's bank account.
Teatime just gained more uber respect from me for all the bullshit he's had to put up thus far in this forum.
Ismotetric view is just a camera angle and Fallout is a very old game with limited graphics. You cant possible want something similar to Fallout compared to what a modern engine can do.
Actually I do. I'd much rather have the Fallout 2 engine with a new story and some new features and crap. Hell, I'd even prefer hand drawn 2-d graphics personally.
My definition of good may or may not include SPECIAL, but it definitely includes hookers and flamethrowers.
Because I forgot those two elements made Fallout whereas the Special system was just some optional thing that wasn't important to the ruleset at all. Jesus Christ, these people were fed draino as children, I swear it.
Also it is a very bad idea to say we don't know about RPGs, since Morrowind is an RPG...
Thats like saying the guys who made the "Pool of Radiance" know about RPG's just because they made one. Just because you put out a product that isn't really an RPG as much as "The ultimate waste of time" doesn't mean you know about rpgs.
I'm also a console gamer as well as a PC gamer, and I have to say that the Xbox audience is far, far different from the PS2 and GC audiences. KotOR and Morrowind are the two most popular RPGs on the system, and they are both undoubtedly PC RPGs in every way.
I've always wanted a damn excuse to hook up a "Wrong" game buzzer to my computer. Seems like as good of a reason as any. Considering I own a PS2 and a PC and most of friends only own an X-Box, I can say theres a significant differance between what I want in a game and what they want.
I dont think that being real-time combat nazi will get you more close on getting turn-base combat.
If only I could form my own fascist government, then I wouldn't have to listen to crap like this.
One of the few things I keep hearing from the developers (Who've been strangely silent the last 10 or 12 pages) is that they love fallout so much. If they love Fallout so much why in the hell don't they have any idea what the fuck they're gonna do? I realize its hard to type when you're sitting on your thumbs, but honestly, it's been acouple of months now, I expect to atleast know at this point if the thing is gonna be first person or third person. This kinda reminds me of early FOBOS days when they kept holding back facts and such from us.
Blah, morons. Not much else to say besides the normal arguments between everyone and people being more stubborn then mules.
Harriers for the cup.
