There are classics that stand the test of time & then there is popcorn games/movies/books. Both have there place, but going back to a popcorn game 10 years after it came out and you'll find very little to enjoy about it. The fact that you did enjoy Fallout after all this time could be just...

Why is it that when 'we' are coming up with an explaination "we're reading too much in it" but when someone else comes up with one to explain why Fallout 3 is/might be good then it's fine. :roll: Bethsoft shouldn't be making these mistakes in the first place and requiring either side to...

Name doesn't ring a bell. Adventure genre, I assume? Ever played "Captive" ? It was a sci-fi version of "Dungeon Master". I spent months trying to finish it. Never did due to how it's coded.. Rogue-like, but like most of that genre addictive as hell.

Have you ever coded on the Atari 520 ST? Or was that way before your time?

It's not that they have fallen so far. More what they are assuming about the game & what you are assuming. The background I come from is P&P and as result the interface for Fallout was a no-brainer. If all you are used to is FPS then you'll over-look all the clues that Fallout gives and as...

Why not just call them Adventure games with RPG bits. They alot closer to the Adventure games that came out in the 80s & 90s than any western RPG. Sad part is the stories in JRPGs at that time, as over the top as they were, are still better than what we are getting in western RPGs now.

Perhaps not. One of the reasons hitman use .22s is that they bounce around inside the skull. So rocket has alot of explosive power, but if it cann't get inside in the armour then it's just going to give you deep bruises and toss you several feet. A bullet has a chance of entering a small gap...

The problem is that those games are becoming the only ones made. Different Genres should be just that different. I have no problem with people liking Oblivion. I do have a problem with people saying I have to like Oblivion or that it's the way all games should be made. If a game is suppose...

*sigh* Nudity & becoming a pornstar shouldn't be censored in adult games. The problem is we don't really have adult games and every time someone tries to make one they get screamed at & the game is banned in alot of places. I'm really really really tired of the arguement "Think of the...

And you were coming across as 100 other fanboys who were saying I had to buy the game to comment on it at all. As for the gameplay & atmosphere. Well, we have seen some of that in the official trailers, previews, reviews & the pirate livestreams. As for whether it's enough to decide if it's...

Hello. I'm a movie patron. I watch the trailers & listen to critics. Then I make up my mind if the movie is worth going to see. At what point did Games suddenly get this right to be above Movies, TV & books in how you judge them? It's my choice in what I do with my money... why should I...

We have given the game a chance. Go back and read the posts from when the news of Fallout 3 by Bethsoft was released. As for playing the game. Okay, short of giving Bethsoft $60 of my money, how do I do that on the PC? I'm not buying a game just so I have the 'right' to bitch about...

Ummm. Guess I wasn't clear. Here's a link explaining the meltdown: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983 To sum it up. The companies slashed prices on the consoles, like they are doing now, in the hope they would have all of the market share. The games were supporting...

Censorship in any form is bad. Take a little here, take a little there and before you know it you're left with nothing but most bland 'entertainment'. At what point will anyone start making games for adults? And when will people stop trying to ban games?

You would probably be paying $700 or more. Last I heard all consoles are losing money on the actual machine. It's the games that are what is pulling in the money. We might see another meltdown of the console market like back in the early 80s ala Atari. Nvidia vs ATI hasn't been great for...

If you only want to make money. If you want to be part of the hype machine for gaming companies. Then it makes sense to write the reviews/previews we have been seeing, but a journalist is suppose to have some ethics. A completely negative review should score a 1 or 2.... they don't. A...

I doubt they ever will. It's blockbuster or nothing & blame all failures on piracy. Nevermind the flaws in the game & the features that 'had' to be there(increasing the costs).

Might be an interesting balance to VATS if you did take damage while it's paused. Assuming of course that they could come up with a good explanation for it. Of course it would be another point in favour of it being RT instead of turn-based, but it would be C&C.

Which still gives you time to decide which way to run away from enemies while your AP recharges. As a result breaking the real-time gameplay. VATS looks to be trying to please both turn-based & real-time players and as result probably pissing the hardcore sections of both groups off.

I simply wanted to know why your two posts had opposite positions on the issue. It's not paramount for a review to compare it to the originals over Oblivion, but it should at the very least mention the differences between the originals and newest game. Do you see that in most of the...
