    PSM3 Fallout 3 review, not impressed with PS3 version

    I'm still hoping the PS3 goes down in flames over the next few years, so I love hearing these kinds of things. We'll have to see how accurate they are though...

    GamingExcellence previews Fallout 3

    im ok with some upgrading, there is going to be a pecking order for everything...but too much can be a bad thing, and beating up super mutants at low levels would be a bad thing... One more thing to mod...

    Fallout 3: PC or Xbox 360?

    PC for sure... 1. Mods 2. My monitor has a better resolution than any TV on the market now or in a few decades from now. 3. Mods

    Bethesda tires of spending money to support pirates

    My first bit of advice would be to check out the Steam service from Valve. I've played a lot of the games on their service and most of them are quality games. I think Valve goes the extra mile to make sure the products they release on their service are actually decent games.

    PC Action Germany reviews Fallout 3

    Of all the things the preview mentions, bleak and dreary just bugs me... It's a post apocalyptic wasteland... Bleak - CHECK Dreary - CHECK Ok...so, how are we not on target for a proper look and feel? Just adding color so we can avoid the terms "bleak" and "dreary" is stupid. If the...

    GamingExcellence previews Fallout 3

    You laugh at audio cues, but subconsciously sounds link us to experiences. While the new Star Wars movies might have sucked, when you hear that opening theme song you get the shivers right(I'm hoping you are a Star Wars fan)? Or Indiana Jones, Superman...hell, even the Jaws "about to die"...

    Bethesda tires of spending money to support pirates

    I'm also not sure why piracy is so connected to PC's, but disconnected from consoles. There has been a lot of talk recently about the XBox leak, a year after release it will be PC piracy that takes all the blame. There is a website passed around my workplace where you can buy any XBox 360...

    GamingExcellence previews Fallout 3

    If we took your four examples, we could be playing Planescape:Torment too... Fallout had those four things, but it also had it's own very unique setting, which I would argue was just as important if not more important for the game. The Brotherhood, the dismemberment, the audio cues were a...

    Backroom I.T. reviews Fallout 3

    Some people(me) prefer Oblivion over Morrowind because Oblivion is actually more like Arena and Daggerfall. Morrowind is it's own separate game in the series. Lets not get all high and mighty because you, myself, and many others liked FO1/FO2, while saying that newer gamers wouldn't...

    Bethesda tires of spending money to support pirates

    I don't think Piracy would be as big of a problem if more demo's were released...demo's that actually let you see the meat of the game. They don't have to be long, but they should give the consumer a good idea of what they are purchasing. I can demo a car, I can check out a house before I buy...

    Tron 2

    I'd be jazzed to see a Tron sequel, but not a remake. If they are going to add something to the story, I'm OK with that, and I wouldn't even mind it seeing take place after the game. I enjoyed the game a lot as well, so that would be my hope. But if they just kind of ignore the game too, I...

    Fallout 3 Hands-On #14

    It's not the camera angle in an of itself that I find as a fundamental principle, it's the way you view the world. That third person ISO view was just part of the FO/FO2 experience, and I would definitely consider that to me, fundamental for Fallout. I would have no problem playing FO games...

    OXM outtakes hit blog

    And that is an opinion, just like me saying that I thought sneaking in FO/FO2 wasn't very good. Doesn't make you are wrong or I am wrong, it's just a difference of opinion. I agree on the genre blending aspect, but I think RPG's can be more than just 3rd person ISO. Arena, Daggerfall and...

    OXM outtakes hit blog

    1. Whats wrong with discussing the things we didn't like about Fallout, while on a Fallout messageboard, in the hopes of seeing those things improved in the newest iteration of the game. If we didn't like the game, we wouldn't be here to see things hopefully improved...just like everyone else...
