    Inside the Vault - Brian Bloomfield

    Man, those are some pretty bad games which makes me question his skills at Quality Control.

    Fallout 3 screenshots galore

    But this takes place in DC which is far from being a desert climate. Moisture alone would cause the exposed wood to rot after a while.

    Fallout 3 Censorship Report

    Seymour: Exactly, I'm not surprised Australia had issue with drugs in the game if you could smoke crack, get nice bonuses and then if you got addicted, pay probably a small fee and be cured. I doubt you'd even see the affects of addiction before you found a doctor to cure. Which is problematic...

    Fallout 3 Censorship Report

    I'm not but then again I had a poor opinion of BS after Oblivion. However, if the drugs have no side effects (and addiction is not one if it can be cured easily) then I am surprised by how much BS missed the point.

    Fallout 3 & Penny Arcade Comics

    I liked how comic 2 transitioned to comic 3. Overall though I sort of agree; there is too little content for me to bother following this.

    Fallout 3 bits and pieces

    But for me, constantly reloading for each failure gets boring so I only did that occasionally. I think the benefits outweigh the problems. Especially for people who can't put in an uninterrupted couple of hours. Save anywhere makes the game more attractive to play since I can easily start the...

    Fallout 3 bits and pieces

    I don't think I have played a game I found too easy. Too hard maybe but never too easy. Then again, these days I do not have a lot of time to play games so when I do I like to play a game I can enjoy. To me, constantly dying and reloading is not fun. Then again, what you guys find too easy...

    Fallout 3 bits and pieces

    Frankly I would probably quit a game if I died frequently too (and I am not a young gamer). However, what you need is a balanced approach of making the game hard but not that difficult. BS seems unable to perfect this but games like Fallout of PS:T weren't that difficult but still managed to...

    Interplay Financials

    As much as I dislike BS, it makes perfect sense to stop the production of this game (see mine and Brother None's post although he explains it better). Also, Glutton Creeper Games is the one suing BS.

    Interplay Financials

    It doesn't, but US law encourages fierce protection of one's IP and if they let it slide now, they loose out to stop it later (to a certain extent).

    Fallout 3 bits and pieces

    I almost hope this is the way it's implemented because the only other way I can think of is that your shot do no more damage to a crippled "limb" or you simply cannot target it anymore.

    AtomicGamer and IncGamers interview Pete Hines

    This is an odd design decision. While I do not like a 1:1 cycle, a 40 cycle seems ridiculously fast. I couldn't say what would be ideal since for me it would be based on distances, how long quests take, average total time to beat the game, etc but at least 3-4 hours seems right. Add in pass...

    CrispyGamer, VideoGamer and TVG interview Pete Hines

    Too true, my real worry is that dialog will be just like Oblivion, meaningless choices, nonsensical options and a complete disconnect with anything else. If the game had a decent quest system and managed to not be boring then I would pick it up in a heartbeat once it was in the bargain bin...

    Crispy Gamer and VideoGamer play Fallout 3

    What i want to know is who is listening to these radio stations besides you. I mean to me this is kind of nitpicking since there are larger problems but this is also a symptom of the problems BS is having both in creating a cohesive world and one true to Fallout. If there is no one else...

    X360A hands-on

    That's because thanks to level and loot scaling they didn't exist in the game world until you reach an arbitrary level.

    Familiar console is familiar

    No, the goal is to be professional. This includes accurate quotes, neutral point of view (as much as possible), due diligence researching the topic. If the journalist is changing a quote then not is that person violating the basic tenants of being a journalist but also lying to his or her readers.

    Fallout 3 Hands-On #13

    I'm not sure if you are responding to me, but if you are, the blog started about a year ago and I'm talking about an incident that occurred a little after launch (6 months tops). And like I said,

    Fallout 3 Hands-On #13

    Your welcome. As for the ratings = no SDK. When the whole blow up happened with Oblivion, the BS made it pretty clear that they didn't really like modders. They described them using some fairly derisive terms and there was a pretty big blow up on the official boards about how little BS...

    Fallout 3 Hands-On #13

    Yup, BS got re-rated to "M" due to the nudity patch. Although the issue seemed to be that it was because the content was simply unlocked and not added that caused the re-rating. It also spawned the debacle where BS referred to modders as hacker (in a very contemptible way). To your second...

    Fallout 3 Hands-On #13

    @Jesuit: Actually pushing up DLC sales is only one reason why they might not release SDK. Another is fear that people will make children killable. This could lead to tons of bad press, re-rating the game (AO in the US) and possible banning in countries that do that. Another reason is that...
