Shit, anything from 99-2000 beats it out of the water. Don't let the Pixel Shader 3 fool you; the graphics are terrible. And the gibbing, well, let's just say Quake 2 called and told Beth they suck.

It was a good looking game, and it wasn't selling on graphics alone. A worthless fps/rpg hybrid aiming for the mongoloid crowd needs to look like a gem, not like a worthless mod.

Your point being, what? That FO3 has atmospheric music, sounds and a heart warming storyline to boot, that'll make up for it looking like shit, playing like a brick and taking a massive crap over everything and everyone? Oh lordy lord, let's go to the computar store and buy teh gaems.

Yes, but it wasn't brown like a turd, or gritty like some hobo's face. It had a color scheme that involved grey and brown in all other colors, washing them out, making them look rugged; it's beyond comparison with the "gritty, realistic" brown of the next-genz and especially beyond comparison with the ex-genz FO3.
