It's an attempt at humor on Todd's part I guess....but, no. Just no.

The funniest part of the article: Seriously though. The overuse of vulgarity and the crappy attempts at humor are supposed to do what? Convince me that he's a cool guy? There's no harm in trying to be professional. How cynical. Liam fucking neeson = art. He's retarded. Does...

I believe Bethesda is incompetent. And I think their success as a game company, is an accident. They aren't nearly as good as their sales figures indicate. And I think that went to their heads. It's why any explanation for why they've done what they've done essentially comes down to "this...

Then wouldn't those gameplay elements (according to Pete) be stale by now? I mean. Bethesda has been doing "open world" since Daggerfall. Although it wasn't really the same people....the point still stands. Bethesda is doing nothing to be "innovative". They're taking Fallout, and...

Wait....what? Didn't Fallout 1 and 2 establish gameplay principles by themselves? The gameplay of fallout strove to emulate pen and paper RPGs, yes? Then wouldn't a game that strove to be a sequel....emulate Fallout, thus emulating pen and paper RPGs? Despite not being called "GURPS"...

The argument doesn't fail. It's just that one side refuses to have that argument....because they dislike the conclusions that you can draw from that premise. So they go the "yeah, but that doesn't matter" avenue...to change the subject completely.

Pete Hines, relativist. Really though, how do you expect him to answer that question? You can't trash people who dislike your game.

When Pete Hines talks about "stale" is he talking about the "re-invention" from Oblivion -> Fallout 3, or from Fallout 2 -> Fallout 3? Because......what he offers is a false choice.

That's something that has caught me a bit off guard as well. The gaming media in general, usually puts a lot of emphasis on visuals. And for the most part, nobody has really even noted that Fallout 3 is somewhat lacking in that department. Most of the previews go on about "Never has the...

No you can't. Theoretically it is possible, but the odds of doing so are so small, that you can declare it impossible. We're talking about getting the advanced power armor, and bozar very early in the game, right? That's impossible without some kind of prior knowledge. Your point seems...

Just to add. "But it's optional".....isn't exactly a response to the argument of "The idea of a house with a robot butler doesn't fit Fallout's setting" It's a distraction. And it fits in with the theme of trying to trivialize every single complaint about Fallout 3. Every time I see...

Great minds think alike. Even included a "the least they can do is nothing" remark. Well, fun for me involves depth.

It's silly, and has no real gameplay repercussions. It is a doll house. Kind of violates the whole outsider/wanderer/survival atmosphere of the game, no? If you own a nice house, with a butler, in a town....... You realize this argument has been repeated a lot, but is completely ridiculous...

Yeah. By itself it seems like a neat idea, but the fact that the vault has existed for 200 years, makes it silly.

19. My bad. wtf does a beard have to do with anything? Yeah. I get it. And, yeah. It's 19. Old enough to grow a beard (even though I'm 21, and my beard growing skills suck. Not sure why beards are in this convo)

Also. That's not even funny. If you're gonna put something in a game like that......at least have it be funny. And the "nerd rage" is a reference to the Fallout "community"?? It's not a reference to Brian Posehn? Child at heart? No. Child in reality. Your characters 17. That's still a...

What did they do in Oblivion, to make fun of the fans?

I never actually took "bloody mess" in the originals. I've always felt that it was odd that Bethesda has made such a big deal about it.

No. It's still kind of a big deal. Especially when Bethesda LOVES to brag about "immersion" and "feeling like you're really in this world" and "we have fulfilled the promise of virtual reality" Try this. Go to a restaurant through the front door.....see how you're treated. And then try...

It's actually kind of funny that he sucks at FP combat.
