Ah. So it's actually one-half of what I was talking about that's in, and one half that's out. I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Still sucks that the random encounters are out. And it definitely would've been better to just keep the overhead map. Oh. I thought you had an...

I ignored the other one because I don't trust betamonkey. Ausir has been a big part of the Fallout community for years, helped a LOT with the Fallout wiki, and has an NDA-ed insider at Bethsoft telling him what the game really is like. What's betamonkey got? Less, I'd assume. So, yes, I did...

Knew it. Feared it. Just one more notch, know what I mean....

Well, since Bethesda's ret-conned the ghouls to be able to run.... I suppose Harold actually ran to DC. Which still doesn't make much sense, considering that FO3 is supposed to take place about 30 years after FO2. I doubt any ghoul would be able to make it across the continent that...

Re: yeah Personally, I think it would've worked just fine if they'd implemented a system much more like the overhead map of Fallout 1/2: A tiny (plus-shaped) representation of your character walking across the Wastes, with time passing. I don't like fast travel on principle in a game...

I already wasn't going to, now I'm even moving away from the idea of renting the game. Good job Bethsoft, you turned away someone who was REALLY looking forward to Fallout 3 based on the (now rather old) promo video, all based on what you did to the Fallout world.

Hoooollllyyyyyyy shit. How is it possible to be let down any more about this game?!? How? HOW? Bethsoft did it. Somehow, they managed to make me want the game less- as if they just dropped a metaphorical singularity right into the spot in my brain that says "Hey, give it a chance, what harm...

Thank you Texas Renegade. I often disagree with you, but I know that you have an actual point of view, and will back up your opinions with evidence. *Looks at Billionfold* :shock: Mmmm???????

That's an incredibly weak excuse. Remember that thing I typed up in the other thread? The one where you said "Oh gee, ALL those things are MAJOR problems for you?" all intelligent-like? I didn't copy-paste that. I did it from memory, which is why it only covers part of what I don't like...

*sigh* Nice try on the redirect. As Pope Viper said, put up or shut up.

Oh my, where to begin: -Copy/pasted damage on buildings (this was covered months ago). -VATS slo-mo probably can't be turned off (not confirmed, yet, but it seems that way) -Ghouls look like zombies, and can move fast now. No longer are they greenish flaky-skinned slow movers. -Super...

Let's lay off the noob, 'kay everyone? Not like the hivemind that is NMA (*giggle*) needs any more bad rep. And this isn't constructive. I mean, we've got a good number of posters here who began as *ardent* Fallout 3 defenders, and are now, if not fully convinced that the game's going to be...

The Euro reviews that have come in, so far, are from reviewer's copies that were sent across the Atlantic. Apparently they're not the gold version- BN says that's industry standard, I personally don't know- but they are *legit* copies. Not boots, not stolen from... wherever those YouTube...

Friends and friends of friends, Hollywood connections (Bruckheimer, et al), piles of cash put into the game, and just an excuse to throw a big bash, really. Such gatherings aren't that unusual in that sector of the local population- it's just that this one happens to revolve around the launch...

Mmm.... Based on the spoilers- from the pirated videos- it doesn't. I've said this in another thread, but it all sounds like a badly written Silver Age Sci-Fi story, only with lots of violence and pointless cursing added in because it's "cool" and makes it "adult." So, now that we have 1)...

Gah. Good point. Retracted about the leak thing, standing by everything else.

Nope. ZeniMax plunked becoux bucks into this li'l release... they're going to party hard as hell, if only for the "Whistling past the grave" angle... Y'know: post-leaked videos, lots of people being massively underwhelmed by the game so far, it doesn't look like as massive a hit as it could...

Ah, there's also something else I wanted to mention. It's been mentioned before, so I think that's why I sort of edited myself before posting: "Crippled Head" and "Crippled Torso" messages. They don't make any sense. What else can I say? I groaned when I saw that come up on the screen.

I watched the first two videos.... Oh man, where to begin? -The textures are still ugly as hell.... Anyone else groan a bit looking at the Capital Building? -Gibbing and rag-doll physics. Just... shouldn't have been there in the first place; looks terrible. -The walking animations of...

Well, everyone here who's been around for even a few months is getting a bit tired of new folks coming by and saying "Wow I can't wait to play this game", usually accompanied by "You people (NMA) are living in the past, Bethsoft's doing a great job, get with the times, ISO's dead," and a...
