    Fallout 3 ending videos

    It really seems like three actual endings, some parts of which (the "waters of life" thing, for instance) seem like they happen no matter what.

    Liked the magic 8-ball shot. Though it should have said "Signs point to yes."

    Bethesda on their SecuROM usage

    Of course Vista isn't malware proof, it's Microsoft!

    Bethesda on their SecuROM usage

    It's better news, that's for certain. Just the fact that DRM is involved, regardless of how invasive it is, still isn't a good thing.

    Fallout 3 guide creation #7: the end

    It definitely doesn't look like the original power armor. Add another voice that agrees that it really looks like plate mail. Steam-punk plate mail.

    Fallout 3 ending videos

    I actually had a similar experience. Though the illusion ended quite a few months ago. After those E3 videos, I realized two things: One, this was not Fallout. Not just "my" Fallout, which is meaningless, but *any* Fallout. It is a generic PA FPS shooter with RPG elements, with some "brand name"...

    Bethesda on their SecuROM usage

    It's not "oddly enough." In the other thread about this SecuROM business, several posters pointed out how easy it is to run the game legally without discs and without SecuROM CD checks. Go look in that thread if you're curious.

    Nor ammo. Remember? Ammo's weightless now. Lulz to be had. Neat little metaphor. :clap: Let me get your opinion: Does it feel like grandma baked Bethesda's "Fallout pie?" Just askin'.

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #8

    Sander is. He's been commenting on it from time to time in various spots in the forums. Especially in the FO3 forum.

    Playing on Very Hard: It Means One Thing Only...

    I'd also like to point out that aiming for the eyes in FO1/2 was different than shooting at the eyes in FO3. In the former, your character was trying to hit the eyes or face of their target, and may have missed, or the target may have dodged, or the weapon may have jammed, etc.... Graphically it...

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #9

    Oh yes, that's Burke. When the videos were put out during E3, I commented on how stupid it was that Burke would just be sitting there, in the bar, saying (apparently to anyone who talked to him) that the wastes would be better if Megaton was wiped off the map. In the bar. Surrounded by Megaton's...

    Fallout 3 ending videos

    It's very sad that the some of the most blatant canon rewrites are also some of the best writing in the game. Emil probably had something to do with that. I hear good things about Emil.

    Fallout 3 out in Europe

    Weak, weak excuse. This has happened every step of the way: "You can't criticize the game, there aren't enough screen shots" "Nobody's seen the game yet" "Did YOU see the game?" "Nobody's played it yet." "Those Penny Arcade demos were only a few minutes long!" "Bethesda hasn't...

    Fallout 3 ending videos

    Aaahhh! So they're pulling another "Morrowind books in Oblivion libraries" thing, huh? That's an especially cheap trick since they didn't even write the Maxson journals. I'm sure that's probably the best writing in Fallout 3. Actually, based on what I've read, and screenshots I've seen, I'm...

    Tidbits on Fallout 3 reviews

    That's a good point. Was the version that IGN reviewed a console or PC version? If it's the former, it seems like it would be far less likely that that's the case. Though now there's that "downloadable" stuff from consoles... I don't know how much of a difference it makes; I'm very, very out...

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #6

    Because of the number? *edit* DAMN YOU NMA AUTO-PROOFER!! Why not pretend that the Star Wars prequels weren't in the Star Wars universe? Same issue. And seriously, someone should come up with a "Godwin's Law" for Star Wars and canon fuckups. Seriously, it's like that with SW and canon...

    Tidbits on Fallout 3 reviews

    I know this is pretty pessimistic, but considering that there have been bug videos out since yesterday, at least, I'm more inclined to believe it's the latter.

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #6

    That's not entirely true. It's more correct to say that *some* people would be upset by a spin-off and only want to have the original dev team working on FO3... It's clearly impossible, and has been impossible since Troika was formed. Which makes those sorts of concerns of about the same...

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #6

    It isn't. But a lot of the reviews also have been talking about negatives. Which is strange, since this is such a heavily-hyped game, and this is only the first round of reviews. Ignore the scores, just look at the text of the reviews.
