With as many great posts as you've been making (with emphasis on your Fallout 3 reflections), it's a crime this hasn't received an answer.. Wish I could help but know you've made the last hour of my reading through this forum far more enjoyable.

Fallout 2 was my introduction to the series (not long after it released). I eventually went back and played Fallout 1 but wasn't really all that impressed. The hidden time limit rubbed me the wrong way, as did the limited item sets after being exposed to Fallout 2. I was a Douglas Adams fan so...

I'm a Firefly fan and I like the general graphic design.. 7/10. Wish I had more to say. Jayne wasn't one of my personal favorites.

They've been at this long enough to be fully aware of what blowback might result from this. They're neither inexperienced, naive or dumb. Have you seen Julian Assange (their spokesman/director/whatever) speak in the media? He's far from a naive hippie who lives in a fantasy land of his own...

Bad Karma, very well written post. Not to shift the emphasis to another title entirely, especially with this being both a Fallout forum and Fallout centric thread, but does anybody know if Deus Ex 3 will be a return to our roots in this respect? I had originally written the title off but...

I think an element in this equation is the move from text based to fully voiced dialog. In essence, the more moving parts you have the more areas for failure present themselves. In the "good old days" the strength of the writing stood with the writing itself. Nowadays, even good writing might...

Umm.. Broken Steel, Shivering Isles, GTA IV's two huge expansions.. There are probably more.

I doubt it. You're just reasoning from the heart and he's reasoning from a position of profit motivation (market penetration, etc). Keep the big picture in mind: Alpha Protocol was a flop and they probably saw that coming a mile away. They're an independent studio in a market dominated by...

There will be one and I I've not heard console gamers feel appreciably more screwed than PC users. Bugs abound on all platforms. Actually, I've seen nothing but high praise from console users. New Vegas has been well received by everybody that actually touched it, it seems (outlier...

Yes, without a doubt. This game cancels any need for the last iterations existence.

Yeah, but I don't believe the American "reformation" occurred after a holocaust that scattered humanity to the winds or within a social context of a destabilized central authority. I can point to the Greek, Egyptian, Sumerian or Chinese cultures and remark how, after several hundreds of...

1. You need to go replay Fallout 2 --> that game drips country western / cowboy (hell, you can become the sheriff of Redding). Granted, it moves on into the gangster stuff and eventually into the S.F. stuff. .. but it's there. 2. The legion are the most "original Fallout series" stuff in the...

No everybody wants to partake in these new locations at the end of their experience. Presumably, either in loot or the uniqueness of the mobs, it could offer a rewarding experience at various levels of New Vegas progression. The speed at which human cultures do anything is HIGHLY accelerated...

Dude, it's making money hand over fist. You've seen the NDP estimates on the main page, right? Bugs are to be expected and, so long as the patch rolls out sooner than later, may even be forgotten. They added so much on top of what Bethesda gave them (hardcore mode, crafting, 40% more dialog...

Evil Perks are the core reason for keeping Karma (they existed in Bethesda's game but I'm unsure whether they were kept in New Vegas). The specifics are irrelevant to me -- I didn't have any particular attachment to what Bethesda added in this regard -- but the core idea of having special...

He was talking about this one: http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Fallout-Vegas-PC-Patch-1-11-Released-28103.html

I don't like JRPGs myself but found this one intriguing (in concept): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu-hw8VK7g0 [Resonance of Fate]. Mind you, the story still doesn't look to be there but the gameplay is supposed to be pretty fresh. The review I linked you to certainly isn't singing it's...

I guess, even more than an acknowledgement of being able to complete those portions, are they any fun to complete that way? For example, in Fallout 1 the conversation at the end which convinces the Master to commit suicide was fun and an interesting logical puzzle (though, truth be told, I'm...

I've been floating around this forum since Fallout New Vegas launched. I've been reading reviews and impressions, discussing finer details and exploring its depth. I even purchased the game for a few weeks before returning, unopened, for reasons exogenous to the game (though the "a few weeks"...

I think we should address the implicit preconceptions you bring to the word "post-apocalyptic." To me this just means after a/the apocalypse. It doesn't imply any particular look but rather a commentary on decentralized authority and regressive human tenancies (the latter generally...
