It's kind of sad it becomes the only solution for making Beth's games appealing, don't you think?

But of course. I will not tolerate TV sets with pristine image quality in my recreational gamin'. No sir!

My point was, that if the developer considered such a system worthy of releasing, then it's what counts. Repairing it later doesn't change the fact that a worse version was considered fit for giving out to the players.

Kind of like a car company releasing a car with a shitty brake system and then refitting them all with a working version.

So... gross negligence leading to deaths is in some way comparable to releasing an imperfect game?

The fact that you would even make such a comparison shows you need to reread the definition of "games".

Instead of attacking my choice for comparison, would you, for once, try to reply to my poiny?
 
Why would I? I don't care one way or the other about Bethseda or how they work.
 
OMG I can't murder children in fallout 3 but I could in the other fallout games!!!! baaaawwwwwwwwww

That's the least of our concern.
 
Spam is posting for the sake of posting. Which is exactly what he did.
 
God damnit, if you can't stone a five year old to death in turned based combat from an isometric view, then it isn't ****ing Fallout. PERIOD.
 
Because spam has a numeral definition...

I was challenging an atrocious metaphor, you don't need to care about the specific argument to do that. You just need to care about discussion in general.

I'm illustrating the underlying principle, isolated from implications chosen examples carry.

Jumping to conclusions youngster, it's gonna get your ass shot off someday.
 
Where's the S.P.E.C.I.A.L.?
I want to see the S.P.E.C.I.A.L.!
It was 60% of fun in Fallout.
 
It's almost certainly what they're going for, it's Fallout tradition.

My default state remains 'cautiously optimistic'.
 
I tried to play Fallout a few months back... couldn't do it. Same thing that happens to me with Planescape: Torment... these supposedly great games and I get little ways into them then my "this is stupid"-ometer explodes, crashing and uninstalling the game swiftly.

I've liked all I've seen of FO3, though. :p
 
I played Fallout 1 and 2 and Planescape Torment in the last year and thoroughly enjoyed them.

I agree, if you going to play fallout 1 or 2 you better put on some nostalgia goggles.
 
You lie, it's still awesome. Only thing stopping me from playing it more is this ****ING RAT CAVERN FULL OF RATS I MUST KILL.

****ing slay rats missions.

Hate 'em.

I think it's still a great game to play today because of the super chunky sound effects and awesomely meaty people explosions. Although I want, like, Fallout Tactics on a handheld. That would be neat.
 
If anything, I think it makes me a better gamer.

OOHHHHH

RADIATION BURNSSSSSS

If /. has taught us anything it's that you cannot have an argument without at least one car analogy. One bad car analogy.
 
Level of Detail

I guess it's a persistent problem since Morrowind.
 
teaser need moar poorly written, poorly recorded, and poorly acted v.o. work, imo.
 
The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth.

Spain built an empire on its lust for gold and territory.

Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower...
 
The end of the world occurred pretty much as we had predicted.

Too many humans, not enough space or humans to go around, the reasons as always purely human ones.

The earth was nearly wiped clean of life, a great cleansing, an atomic spark struck by human hands quickly raged out of control.
 
looks great, didnt notice the lack of shadows and what's the big deal about having a functioning tv when there's a tv station broadcasting old tv programs. it's just setting the mood
 
Maybe the Brotherhood laid down a few fibre optic cables.

Yeah, no shit.
Stop looking into this so damn much.

Save your final judgments until you actually see some gameplay.
 
I thought that was awesome...

So first we get the Vault Dweller, then we get his descendant. And now we get a guy who's out to find his missing father in the wasteland.

The story seems totally irrelevant to the Vault Dweller's legacy.

I'm hoping this will be great, but I'm having mixed feelings with the storyline. It mostly seems like an excuse to play an apocalyptic world again. I don't really see it advancing the storyline from Fallout 1 and 2.
 
New IGN hands-on up now.

IGN said:
Before I go on, though, please understand -- calling Fallout 3 one of the most impressive videogames of the year in a season that has already brought us Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Theft Auto IV isn't meant to be hyperbole. Even in its unoptimized stage (all the content is there, development is just about polish from now until October), Fallout 3 is still one of the most engaging and playable titles this side of Liberty City... and I've only tested it for about an hour.

Bold proclamations for such a small amount of hands-on time, yes, but words I'll stick behind as a fan on the Elder Scrolls. In fact, Fallout 3 is very much Oblivion in a post-apocalyptic world. So if you didn't like that game, or the series for that matter, then ignore everything I've said thus far and go read something else. If, however, you spent 200+ hours in Cyrodiil like I did, or just love western-style RPGs, then you should keep going -- because your next big adventure is just over the next hill.

Bye, Mikael.
 
Finally someone had the guts to say it's Oblivion with Guns rather than droning on and on how awesomely Fallout it is.
