Whoa whoa whoa. That's not quitting gaming forever. Flipflop time!!! I, too, am not quitting gaming forever anymore, all thanks to this FO3 thread! Thanks Bethesda!

Because it's **A*SF*AS&F(*AS hilarious. I'm being on-topic re: FO3!!!!1!1

Though I hate Bethesda and wish it as a company caught a horrible disease and died (lol), it wouldn't take many steps for them to make FO3 relatively enjoyable. 1) Choice and consequence. In this aspect, at least from very limited previews, it seems to be an improvement from Oblivion. Or, at least you get to blow up a town. That's better than nothing. The ways it sounds, though, they'll probably end up going into good/evil/neutral paths. But hey, Bioware can get away with it too. 2) Hire writers. 3) Don't freaking dumb down combat. The combat in Oblivion was a major step up from Morrowind, yes, but that doesn't mean it wasn't bloody atrocious. Melee in Dark Messiah (demo) is fun, melee in Oblivion isn't. With a (potential) emphasis on ranged weapons, they could get away with a decent FPS combat mechanic, but they could still screw it up. Shooting in Bloodlines wasn't particularly compelling. But that's what happens when you try to mix twitch and stats. An awkward compromise. This could be hit or miss. 4) Groin shots. 5) Fire Todd Howard. 6) Take pictures of all the $$$ they'll make and send it to Hades and Gabs. 7) Help finance Interplay's FO MMO. Make subtle references for FOPOS fans. 9) Catch a horrible disease and die ROFLTUNASANDWICH 10) Kill Role-Player. The list goes on, but hey, it's a start.

Impressions, you dastards.

Haha, I remember playing a thief in NWN online. Outside of combat, it WAS the most freaking boring class ever. On the upside, it felt very cerebral because it wasn't twitch gaming! I felt it provided very deep gameplay. The Thief series is pretty fun.

Hai Guys! I found a new site where we can bash FO3 some more!!! It's called RPG Codex! You can get there by cliking on thsi link!!!!!! http://www.rpgcodex.com See you there, guys!!!!

Can't play minigames without playing games!

Is that 50 million official? It sounds like a bit much. Couldn't that amount of money be enough to secure the actual game as an exclusive? Or if Take2 was really asking for that much or more, they could have spent it on getting other big-name exclusive (MGS4, FFXIII, etc). In any case, unless coop is announced, this game isn't really on my radar. This Fall will be interesting, though, given how much GTA3 and friends actually sold last-gen.

Dude, don't diss on FO3. It's going to be great. Experienced storytellers from the esteemed team that made Oblivion are going to reinvent the tale of a young nameless vault dweller, leaving the comforts of the vault in order to find out what conspiracy has led to his or her father's (voiced by non-other than the one and only Qui-Gon Jinn) disappeared. Amidst betrayal, suspence, AND drama lies an epic journey of portable nuclear launchers and nuclear-powered cars that will leave your enemies in a mushroom cloud of regret. Regret that they have crossed you. Yes, for the first time ever, you get to be Qui-Gon Jinn's son and/or daughter. The legend begins! That, and one of the stats they keep track of is the number of corpses you've eaten. For all the necrophiles out there, this is a boon to gaming. It was, after all, the greatest feature in (FO-wannabe) The Fall as well, where upon character creation you had the option whether to allow the government to use your corpse as food when you died or the feds killed you - rewarding you with a small sum of money if so. Now, to be fair, the VATS system in and of itself doesn't sound outright bad per say. As a FPS combat system with a pausable 'special ability' menu using action points that regen over time, it could work. My only small concern is that Bethesda hasn't the slightest clue how to implement choice & consequence in RPG fashion, has writers unable to write themselves out of a toilet bowl, and whose past few games have had the worst real-time combat systems of all time. Trivial issues at best. The gaming media doesn't mind, after all. /Hades

Psychonauts was pretty ace, though that last freaking bloody stupid final level was torture, especially with the repetitive constant taunting by the 'boss'.

Your face is a medical condition.

Erm, this is coming out for PSP *and* DS. So far, only 3 screenshots from the PSP are available. I'm guessing the differences will be the usual. Nicer graphics and widescreen, vs dual screens and the stylus (which will probably be fairly convenient for a TB game). Who the bloody crap is the developer?

Jack Bauer in space is 70s, 80s Sci-Fi style?

Pfft. Yar yar hump hump incident > this.

ROFLASKHGAKSJGHSGSAKGTYUWATEAWYUTYATWJVGAWKBGHWA What?

Yeah. FO3 will flop horribly because all the Dark Ravens in the world will collaborate and boycott it. Todd Howard to apply for McDonald's. You heard it here first.

You'd have nothing to do with it anyway. That's kind of what quitting gaming forever implicates.

Bethesda could do so much more. Wimps.

I would also buy the Fallout franchise so as to drive it into the ground even more.

We already know about your tendencies.

As Obsidian CEO, I cannot confirm or deny this. This really isn't pathetic at all!

There are only two categories of games - good games and bad games. Any further classification is superficial crap.
