Your point was that it makes *more* sense to compare f3 to oblivion. Fallout 3 needs to be compared to the series it is a part of first, not oblivion or anything else no matter how similar it might be. You have to pick one or the other, especially since it was your own statement in the first...

You are saying then in general your point stands, or that in general it does not? Should most magazines compare it to oblivion or fallout1/2? Pick one, and assume that if you are generally incorrect that your point would be argued. That is because, as you apparently agree, bethesda is not...

I remember bethesda overselling the "minimum requirements" for oblivion by saying it could run on the nvidia fx5k series of video cards, which wasn't true out of the box but I think oldblivion mod made it possible. I think F3 will have a little bit higher requirements but not that much more, I...

You are correct that f3 is more like oblivion, I dont think anyone is arguing that or putting words in your mouth. I think you are confusing putting words in your mouth, with explaining why it would be wrong for a review to make comparisons between f3 and oblivion in favor of f1/2. The reason it...

Whether or not there is any bribing taking place, I don't think it is even necessary because it is in *most* magazine/websites interest to give high ratings to highly anticipated games as long as they aren't seriously terrible, and even then it is up to their discretion. If later on it is widely...

Nevermind that Dane Cook is an overrated unfunny hack, he is a blatant joke thief, though not as blatant as say Carlos Mencia.

That's what I mean, having one is mandatory sure, but this type of event is a bit strange for a video game to have. Doesn't really seem applicable since video games and celebrities dont have much to do with each other. It would be like the opposite happening at a record release party, where some...

A lot of games have critical or sneak type attacks that have a chance to ignore armor, always bypass armor, or ignore a percentage of armor. Not sure how that harms gameplay, if anything it makes combat less safe and predictable.

Pretty bizarre for a video game to have a launch party. Whats the going rate per "celebrity" for them to show up at these sort of things, $1,000 and some junk schwag? Apparently they had some money to waste.

Yes. The perspective move away from topdown but that's about it. Major gameplay elements were further developed (missions were more story driven, additional side quests, higher interactivity with the environment, more strategic and engaging driving/combat) rather than removed like fallout 3. If...

It's too bad then that Fallout 3 is based on combat like its spiritual predecessor Oblivion. How far are you willing to go with this? "Okay guys, no seriously, the game gets really deep once you beat it, that's when the really good writing and black humor will show up. Sure, it' all about the...

This might be a surprise to you, but it is possible for different genres of video games to coexist even when one genre might be more prevalent than the others. This again? You must be the same person who said this before. The setting is not the core of any game, the gameplay is. Feel free to...

You must be confusing bethesda with something else, right?

Oh yeah, well you haven't played it yet have you? You couldn't possibly understand the Infinite Potential of Fallout 3. How dare you make such speculations about the game before forking over your $60 and playing it to see first hand exactly what you expected.

Oh ok :roll: Dont show me why you disagree and why I am so objectively off base by showing how much the two games have in common or anything...

You've gotten beyond trolling and are somehow insulted now? This discussion isn't going anywhere but I want you to give some similarities between Fallout 3 and Fallout.

Does anyone else see a troll? I think you've made your point that you are best left alone with your delusions since you are unable to have any sort of intelligent discussion about them other than "No you are wrong and I wont say why because I am always right."

No, you just disagree with my opinion that Fallout 3 has nothing common with the original outside of a name and a general theme. I think you have a desire to ignore and discredit anyone with an opinion different than your own, its a bit pathetic.

You may think it is ridiculous because you like what you are seeing. Myself and others don't. I am not exaggerating, you just don't agree with me. Nothing else to say about that.

Bethesda's excuse for changing fallout 3 into a first person action game are because they wanted to evolve and innovate, yet there is nothing new to see in Fallout 3. Its obvious that it is just easier for them to make a slightly improved oblivion set in an adolescent's re-imagining of fallout's...
