<strong>[ Game -> Update ]</strong> - More info on <a href="#Fallout 3">Game: Fallout 3</a>
<p>With the release of the <em>Fallout 3</em> DLC, PC and Xbox players will be able to continue playing and exploring after the completion of the main quest. PS3 players? Not a chance. From <a href="http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/01/ ... 3-fallout/" target="_self">MTV Multiplayer:</a></p><blockquote><p><em>We got in touch with “Fallout 3″ executive producer Todd Howard for an
answer. So, is post-ending adventuring something Bethesda is
considering for PS3 players?
</em></p><p><em>
“Not at this time, no,” said Howard.
</em></p></blockquote><p>Seems like they cheated the entire Playstation community out of their money for an unfinished product that they are unwilling to fix. It's like if you go buy a car, but the dealer doesn't include a battery or doors. When you ask for them, he says "Go screw yourself."

I'm promising you this right now - and I mean every word. Bethesda has ruined the Fallout franchise for me. I will never again purchase a game made by Bethesda. Ever. You can put that in the caption database - I'm a man of my word.
I dont' say this rashly - I've thought about this since even before I started posting news about Fallout 3. I'm finished with the Fallout franchise. From time to time, I may dust off my copies of 1, 2, and Tactics - but I'm finished with Bethesda.
I will not buy the DLC - even though I have a 360 and it will be accessible to me. Less than a week ago my friend (who enjoys F3 and other mindless FPS games) offered to give it back. I told him to keep it. He can't wait for the DLC to come out - and he will buy it.
I like my bobblehead, and I like my lunchbox. The poster was shit. I could've printed it on my own scanner and made it from images I've found online. The music CD? What a joke. The Inon Zur compositions were bland AT BEST, and a steaming pile of uninspired shit at worst. The only good tracks were made by artists long dead, and I got anything I wanted from iTunes - for a buck a song.
This is my 'official' review of Fallout 3 - Oblivion with guns, with an equally predictable storyline, less geographical detail, similar bland enemies with low quality AI, a game worth playing ONE TIME MAXIMUM - if only to experience a 'sandbox game'. The replay value is nonexistent without FAN-MADE MODIFICATIONS! - and since I do not own the PC version, this counts me out. Even with fan-made modifications, I'm not sure this game can be salvaged.
So revel, Bethesda - in your nominee for GotY - which I'm sure F3 will get, if not win the prize as game of the year for a number of biased, outdated, "gaming" publications. I for one am finished.
I for one am finished with most of gaming in general, for the record. A rough personal estimate puts 95% of games on the market today as uninspired, repetitive pieces of crap.
One of the few games I've played recently that I liked was Castle Crashers - here's the problem - to unlock all the characters, you need to beat the game somewhere around 12 times. Take it from me - after #4 the game is BORING.
Another game I enjoyed recently - The Force Unleashed. Fairly uninspired pulled-out-of-a-hat storyline (oh it's LucasArts that's why) but the game was pretty fun. Drawback? Beaten in around 5 or 6 hours, unless, thanks to xbox achievements which supposedly "draw out the life of the game" - you decide you want to find all the energon cubes or w/e the hell they're called, throw 500 enemies with force push, kill 500 enemies with force lightning, etc etc - all exercises in futility.
It really does remind me of Pokemon games in general. Yes, I'm making a pokemon reference, but it's fitting, so set aside your "OMFG NOOB" hats and *listen* you pack of rabid fucking heathens.
The first game comes out and there's around 150 pokemon. Then a second game comes out which adds another 50 or 100, whatevs. THEN Nintendo gets the bright idea to release a new handheld system which isn't compatible with the old games, at least not *really*. Fast forward to Nintendo DS where you can transfer 6 at a time to the 'new' games. On top of hundreds of hours of your life trying to "Catch 'em All" - which is Pokemon's slogan - certain pokemon can only be caught by attending a Nintendo Event - which is about as easy to get into as Michelle William's pants - you either have to be dead or a psychotic mass murderer known as the Joker, or both.
So let me tie it together, here - between Microsoft, Bethesda, and video gaming in general. I'm pretty much out. Call me a casual gamer, from now on.
Microsoft is on to something with their xbox live and Downloadable Content - sell an unfinished game to get the quick money (much like EA with Rockband, which I will never support as long as I live, and do anything in my power to never buy an EA game again) and then release patches later without so much as a "Sorry - you gave us your money and we screwed you in the rear then made you wait for what you should've gotten in the first place." Then, we're going to nickel-and-dime you for that tiny extra bit of content that very easily could've been in the game in the first place (I'm especially looking at YOU Bethesda - with your 200-400 points a pop for your shitty "hideouts" released with Oblivion)
Nintendo is a completely different matter - I've read an article yesterday (and I'll get the percentages slightly wrong - so sue me - go find them yourself and correct me if it bothers you that much.) that says that 5 of their titles made up about 60 percent of their game sales last year. That means that their other 400+ titles made up the remaining 40 percent. Those five titles happened to be - you guessed it - a Mario game, a Zelda game, Wii Fit, and a couple other that I really dont' care about anyway as the Wii has no option to turn off that ridiculous motion sensitive control that works about as good as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.
I'm done with the vast majority of video gaming. After Blizzard bans my account because I reported it being hacked, retrieved my account minus any gear, then reported I needed my gear PLEASE - then banned it again as "there was evidence my account had been hacked" (oh jesus christ.) and wanted me to refurnish all my personal information again.
After dropping no less than (yes, I tallied it up) one thousand dollars on video games this year - I am officially done. I'm only buying used titles, and even then, after EXTENSIVE praise - not from popular magazines and internet sites that have been basically paid off (see St Toxic at duckandcover.cx/forums for a great description of this) to give favorable reviews so they can get sneak peeks in the future - and not from the hype at MySpace, Yahoo, or wherever the hell else marketers decide to spend their company's money.
My time has come. Call me a grouchy old man. Call me a stupid uber noob who 'just doesn't get it' or has bad taste or slow reflexes or omfg pwn u suxxor lawl - I don't care. I leave the vast majority if you immature 13 year old pre-pubescent boys behind to your Halo 3, your Gears of War 2, your Fallout 3, and your (and I apologize, but if you've spent any time on any shooter on xbox live, you know exactly what I'm talking about) "you stupid swell guy oh fuck you fucking cheating swell guy OH SHIT I HEAR THE ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!!!111!1111oneone - you swell guy swell guy OH SHIT I HEAR THE ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!!!111!1111oneone cheater swell guy - fuck you oh my god I have naked pictures of your mom oh my god - FUCK - you swell guy stupid swell guy OH SHIT I HEAR THE ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!!!111!1111oneone goddammit you swell guy OH SHIT I HEAR THE ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!!!111!1111oneone" little boys who never realized NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR A FUCKING THING YOU SAY YOU RETARDED IMBECILIC IMMATURE CHILD WHOSE VOICE HASN'T EVEN DROPPED YET YOU SOUND LIKE A LITTLE GIRL STILL SO WHEN YOU TRY TO "TALK SHIT" AS THE ADULTS SAY YOU SOUND RIDICULOUS, NOBODY TAKES YOU SERIOUSLY, AND YOU MAKE MY HEADSET MIC HAVE FEEDBACK BECAUSE YOUR HIGH PITCHED WHINY LITTLE GIRL SCREAMS IRRITATE EVEN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE THAT SHOULD HAVE NO FEELINGS BUT EVEN MYYYYY MICROPHOOOOONE HAAAAATES YOOOOOOOUUUU - nobody wants to hear you. Nobody. There isn't a font big enough to do justice to how much I want to grab your little young unshaven-because-you-can't-not-because-you're-lazy faces and scream into them until my lungs bleed and vomit out of my mouth that nobody cares about you, nobody cares if you died because someone cheated or because you just suck, and nobody cares if you slit your wrists in real life even, because one less mildy retarded cretin wouldn't exist in the world.
Bethesda - I hate you.
Microsoft - I hate you too, you rich bastards.
Nintendo - seriously though guys, wtf is up with that cartoon death porn? You are seriously fucked up. Please fix your country. kthnxbai.

It sort of annoys me, because I know alot of potental f1-2 fans will get a pretty shit introduction to the wastes (fuck your capital wasteland) by playing f3 on ps3, or xbox for that matter.
When the designers, lead-artists and president of pr has no balls and think a mouth-gag is to risque there is something seriously wrong with the "lawless" wasteland.
