LOL are you guys ever jaded! ... OK well so am I, I guess. :} OK, so there's nothing particularly original here, but it could be fun depending. Time to put on my "wait and see" t-shirt I guess. Also, a lot of an online game is the community...depending on how what kinds of people the game...

As a Fallout fan, I have little sympathy for either company, as Interplay has done little with the IP and Beth has done... questionable things. And it looks like that describes the current lawsuit beautifully. *rolleyes*

Oh goody, another "cinematic" experience. :/ Edit: Or is there a "game" under there somewhere? Trailer totally pointless?

It's not important what "everyone" likes. These days, all that's important is this: if 80% of potential buyers like Skyrim better than NV, then Skyrim is better, and therefore Fallout 4 should be like Skyrim. Marketing doesn't care about quality, aesthetics, replayability, fun, art...

I think Metacritic is a nice way to browse through the reviews, but you definitely have to take their aggregate score with a WCC-sized grain of salt. Or just ignore it. Actually, the Mean by itself is relatively useless if we also don't have the standard deviation, and expected distribution...

Hey, 10 dollars is 10 dollars. One person's boycott doesn't mean much, but that doesn't mean it's not important. Interplay lost quite a lot more than 10 bucks over the years from my old personal boycott after the unfinishably buggy Fallout 2 release. But that's not important either. $10 in...

Heh. When you're too old for Sam and Max, you're too old.

You can have a really buggy game and a whole bunch of DLCs, or a decently working game and one less DLC. :D

Strange, I thought it was pretty obvious that I wouldn't be finding "Big Guns" and "Energy Weapons" as a spear-waving tribal at the beginning of F2, but maybe I was not your typical "stoned 13 year old" that is the target market these days. Well, I was well past 13 at the time. :} (And anyway I...

Re: Homosexuality and other unimportant Fallout-related stuf Hmm, or vice versa. Hey, I just had this great idea for a new look for my band. I think it's interesting how several posters here have, perhaps unthinkingly, assumed the viewpoint that in a 1950s post nuclear setting, LGBT...

Um, who's bitching and whining again? :)

Steam users should already have the update. I know I do. Vaguest release notes I've ever seen. Why do they even bother? :) Hooray!

An excellent review. Ah, the low difficulty. This is the easiest game I've ever played. And I'm generally a person who gets fed up with games that are difficult without being particularly good... this game is quite the opposite. Of course, the game mechanics being what they are, the...

Mouse support. (Yes, F's acceleration is broken such that high res mouses are twitchy as all getout without ini file hacks, but at least first person mode works right, and it could theoretically work properly if the programmers chose to implement it. UE3 obviously converts mouse motion into...

You know, for all that it's kind of an aging, weird, limited engine, I'll say this: on the PC, I'll take a Gamebryo game over an Unreal 3 engine game any day.

Hooray! I set my detail levels to "High", loaded the game, and the horrible performance issue with NPCs is fixed! Granted, there are still plenty of subtle bugs, but the basic game is now playable! ... well, I can't really say it was unplayable before, considering that I've logged close to...

I immediately think of Nintendo DS. [edit] And then I think some more and realize that a fallout game would never fit on a cartridge. Might fit on an iphone, although I couldn't care less as I'm an android user.

I'm glad that the masses were exposed to some actual good game design. Anything that raises the bar is fine with me. F3 was... it was an interesting demonstration of one approach to how you could project Fallout into an FPS perspective, a fun sandbox to poke around in for a while, but as a...

Let's just call them all Fallout X, so that people can dub it whatever their little number-loving hearts desire. No, because then you have to make "Fallout XI", "Fallout XII", and "Fallout X 2". :D

Well, I guess that explains why the PC port gets so little love. I'm going to stop complaining about the poor quality of PC ports and be glad I'm getting them at all. I envision a multiplayer fallout game that is mostly set in the abandoned underground rail tunnels, called Fallout: London...
