Neither am I, but I'm also not a wilting flower when it comes to the use of the English Language, or it's full expression (life is not a 50s TV show..people swear..get over it). You anything constructive to say about fallout 3, or you want to moan about the 'declining standards of game Journalism' further?

I just get bitter when kids use swear words to describe things. Anyway no matter.

Back to the awesome combat of Fallout 3.

Oh yes incredibly exciting stuff shooting the non moving target and hitting the occasional guy running up to your face. Great, amazing stuff.

I've not seen much on the game, except a gameplay video from E3 with that minature nuclear device you can fire. It looks great, but if you introduce that kind of power and control into the game, surely there isn't any skillful combat or strategy involved? I'm completely new to the Fallout series so I'm not sure if this is the point or not...

No the point is this is a nuclear device. You are DEAD, DEAD! The heat wave would obliterate you and your enemies within a split second. Further out even looking in the general direction of such a blast (even such a small one) your eyes would melt.

Yeah for ****s sake, people need to watch their friggin mouths or the youth of today will be bloody ruined for life!
 
BAWW swear words BAWWWWW

I think im going to install oblivion again.

/me goes to look up mods
 
Seems an awesome game! I will surely fall in love with VATS. Let's hope it runs on my mid-range rig.
 
I really enjoyed watching the hacking bit in the 1up interview. To me, hacking in movies and games is largely unrealistic - even though I liked movies like Transformers and Die Hard 4, the "hacking" was just outlandishly stupid.
In this, however, it looks like they're leaning towards the "source code soup" side where you don't have these auto-hacking tools. I think it's going still be somewhat unrealistic, but real enough for it to make you feel cool when you do it.

I also noticed that the huge exploding guts kill that the developer made with the junk shooter was kind of lame - I mean, it was a freaking teddy bear. Do you think it's gone too far?

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this and I think I'm going to pre-order the collector's edition.
 
I'm kind of missing the story elements in those videos... I mean: We've seen thousands of shooter games and Fallout 3 will have guns, too. So why show off another 10 minutes of generic fire fights when you could show some interaction / ambience / story parts?
 
For Fallout 3 fans, amazon.com has this amazing "Survivor Edition".

Lunch box - Stupid
Bobble head - Stupid
Clock - Stupid.

The rest is fine. Honestly who the hell wants that stuff? A proper box, making of dvd and art book would have been perfect.
 
Eh I'd rather just get the Collectors edition that comes with the lunchbox and bobble head. Only 70 on amazon. Don't need the damn clock.
 
There was supposed to be a special edition in Poland, with the contents based on fans' wishes. There was supposed to be a Vault water flask in it (a handy thing), but since the thing got scrapped, no reason left for me to pay for Fallout 3.
 
In Poland, in certain cases, fans can vote for what they want in.

Usually we don't have to, since the publishers are AWESOME. For instance, STALKER: Clear Sky CE is massive. Includes a full size medpack bag too.
 
****, a Vault Water Flask would have been ****ing awesome.

As such I expect you won't have a final opinion on the game as you'll never played it. Makes me smile.

My guess that market sucks so hard they have to run such programs to get any sales at all.
 
What he's saying is, he's going to pirate it.

Maybe.
 
If they don't release a demo then they're basically telling you to pirate it to try it for yourself and if he likes it enough, he'll buy it and support the devs/publishers.

I will. This is my exception to my "No warez" rule.

As usual, you speak about things you know nothing of.
 
Awww.. I might actually ebay the Clear Sky CE just for that medpack. No CE in America... :(

I dont get it ..you are by far the most vocal person here as to how Fallout 3 should be developed even though you have no intention of buying the game? how can you possibly feel entitled to bitching about the game when you plan on stealing it when it's released? really any valid points you may have made just went up in a puff of smoke

I would buy it if it was a good Fallout game.

As it stands, I'll download it, check if it's good and then decide whether or not Bethesda deserves my money. It's that simple. I'm not going to pay for crap.

Well lets face it, Poland = Ex-Communist, Ex-Soviet, Eastern European, all those things scream "Piracy-heaven"; just look at Russia.

Ugh. Gargs.

1. We weren't Soviet.
2. Communism was shed nearly 20 years ago.
3. We're part of the EU.
4. We're not Russia.
5. We have a different society than Russians.
6. We have democracy, unlike Russians.
7. Games publishing is quite the profitable business in Poland nowadays.
8. Next time you wrote something as intelligent as the things above, I'm buying a ticket to Sweden just to jam a rust rake up your ass. And handle's not going in first.

I really dont care what you do ..but I will ignore your comments on Fallout3 because you're a bit of a hypocrite. worst of all is that you spent so much time and energy on something you dont plan on purchasing ..I mean the ONLY reason you're pirating F3 is because you want validation for your opinion ..you want to say "HEY LOOK I WAS RIGHT, IT SUCKS I WAS RIGHT FOR NOT BUYING IT" ..if it's a great game then well all your efforts is for naught and we cant have people thinking you wasted your time ranting about something that turned out to be good

you're not a fan, you're a fan out of convenience

Since when does "fan" mean "buying every thing they slap your beloved label on"? Never.

Where am I a hypocrite, pray tell?

1. You were a satellite nation of the Soviet Union in all but name.
2. Hence why I wrote ex.
3. Point?
4. Did I ever claim you were?
5. Yes you do, but you're still Eastern European
6. They have an authoritarian presidential democracy.
7. Link?
8. I just wet myself.

Biggest publisher in Poland. Not the only one, of course.

Actually,you are supposed to prove your point, not me.
 
Gamespot did a review recently and it focused on dialogue.
http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/fallout3/news.html?sid=6195314
This except made me happy:
After searching around, we came across the boy's father, who was unfortunately lying dead on the floor of his house after being attacked by the ants that his son had been so recently been expressing his disapproval of. Sad as it was, the world of Fallout is harshly low on resources, so we had to scavenge what we could from the body and the rest of the house. Although it was obviously of little help to him, he'd stashed plenty of ammunition and a Chinese assault rifle, which was a much better weapon for taking out the remaining fire ants than our standard sidearm. Stocked up, we returned to meet the boy and give him the bad news. We had three responses to choose from: "Bryan, I'm sorry, but your father is dead," "Your father's dead," or "Sorry kid. Your old man is ant food." We decided to switch from good cop to bad cop and go for the last option, which was met with a response of, "You're an a**hole."

...

How is that an example of well written dialogue? I understand that KOTOR 2 has spoiled me in terms of quality of writing but... jeez. How about showing some real dialogue, not one line remarks?
 
Am I the only one who thinks this'll be good?

I'm still ambivilent. Everything outside of the actual videos makes me think "It'll be great!" but when I watch a video, I keep getting Oblivion flashbacks.
 
Yes, but that's because you're crazy. As we have already established.
 
I mean, it got boring after I did everything fun, but it wasn't a bad game.
The leveling was a bit lacking.

Really? Something became boring after all of its entertainment value was sapped? What are the odds?

The hype/delivery ratio was all out of whack.

You're right in saying it wasn't a bad game, but I expected quite a lot more from it.
 
To clarify, this isn't a "good game/bad game" problem. It's a good Fallout game/bad Fallout game problem.
