Personally, I'm not really looking forward to it, but I am willing to give it a fair shake on a rental or something. It still feels like a bit of an insult that they're calling it FO3, but we can partially blame good ol' Herve for that. Well, there's extremism and then there's "it's been...

Oh goodie, the old 'all you want is Fallout 1/2 again' with 'why do you think Fallout 1/2 are perfect- they're not and you'll never get a game that's like them again and that's why it's okay for Beth to make such a different game' all rolled into one. I've TOTALLY never heard these arguments...

'It was fun to some of us' is irrelevant. As BN brought up in another thread (I think about two or three times in about as many posts, to several different posters) is that what matters is verisimilitude. The question we should be asking is, 'Does it fit the setting?' You can flip out all...

Added to sig. Oblivion with Hats, Sims with Mutants. Can't go wrong, eh? Checkpoints... ick. I'm hoping it's just the poor quality of the article, but I unfortunately wouldn't be surprised if it really is that way. @TheGM: The car in FO2 was silly, let's be honest here. It was fun, but...

Oh, they disproved that Bigfoot, but my brother's roommate's sister's husband saw one just down the road from the hoax Bigfoot. Honest.

That sounds reasonable. Though the trick is, to make sure it has no connection to the California in the Fallout universe, they'd have to make up their own factions. Bethsoft doesn't seem to be capable of this, though.

:crazy: Yowza. Now I believe I've heard everything. Personally, though, I wouldn't care if this particular game were set years after FO2, between FO1 and 2, or some other time... but for the ridiculous ret-conning of the factions being in DC in the first place. And the single-person...

Or, in fact, the one-man shelters in the first place.

Since Todd Howard's playing it, and it's well-known that he's really awful at FP combat, it probably is a nerfed version for the demo.

I'm not a fan of personal attacks either. However- I do fully support poking fun at Todd and Pete's public speaking abilities because they're well-paid PR guys. As such, they're supposed to be the public faces and voices of their company. So when you've got an interview where they're...

Incorrect. Fallout 3 is Fallout with an OLD format: the format which FO1/2 were SPECIFICALLY created as a counterpoint. In those years (oh ye ancient times of legend!) the market was glutted with first-person shooters. Doom clones were thick on the ground and cRPGs were seen as almost dead...

There is a difference, though: those who missed FO1/2 the first time around (or for the past ten years) won't be introduced to Iplay/Black Isle's Fallout universe. Bethseda's Fallout will be very different, and not just because of the perspective. Big parts of the lore, as well as the...

Agreed- though more specifically, his post-"Prayers on Fire" Birthday Party stuff is better- I just don't like his mellow stuff very much. I bought Nocturna, but don't listen to it too much. Totally skipped "And No More Shall We Part," for the obvious reasons. Glad to see he's back into...

If handled correctly, the Bane/Azrael/New Batman storyline would be AMAZING. Though Christian Bale's a bit young for that story, so if the next movie's set even a few years after The Dark Knight, it'd stretch credibility, to put it mildly. Which is sort of ironic, considering that Christian...

*Blush* Thanks. Would I be even more favored if I told you most of what I listen to is Nick Cave- pre "No More Shall We Part" and the new album (which rocks e'ffin' HARD)? Oh, which reminds me- right now I'm listening to the first Butthole Surfers album- don't remember the name. It's the...

Right now? Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray." via the whole "White Light/White Heat" album. 'Bout done. I also was listening to Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica". Again. Damn I love that album.

Well, yea.... Things seem to be leaning towards Bethsoft not releasing an editor, and this news just re-confirms that there probably won't be an editor.

Argument? Sure. It's just not a good idea. Between time constraints, moving from one medium to another (like, books to movies, say) and having to cut down on internal dialogue and introspection, you HAVE to make changes. Some more extreme than others. There are some things, not comic...

Personally, I hope the only 'villain' Batman has to face in the next movie- if there is one- is Gordon. If the movie continues the same plot line, Batman will be a hunted vigilante with a hell of a lot of equipment... Honestly, it doesn't scream 'different costumed criminal' to me. If...
