EnderAndrew Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Not only are we going to get The Fall, but we're getting a more polished version with more features to boot! http://www.silver-style.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5988

EnderAndrew Posted July 10, 2005 Author Posted July 10, 2005 Yes, but now we're getting a version of the game with nearly a year of post-release testing and fixes being applied to it. The main gameplay looked good. The only real complaint I heard was due to the bugs.
Kaftan Barlast Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Well, after my previous experiences with jerry RPGs Id say it would take nothing less than a complete rewrite of the story, all dialouge, most of the quests and basicly everything except perhaps the engine itself to fix it up to the standard :D DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 The people who played the German version werent exactly thrilled, no? A B-list pseudo RPG with a thousand bugs? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been told German gamers have a tendency to exagerate the value of German games due to the lack of overall good games; anything they get they cling on to. So it might have been just hype and a desire to like the game as opposed to the game's own merits. The Fall was apparently as bad as other Silver Style games, even buggier on release, but fans kept dismissing that. All these patches are supposed to make the game much more playable... But from what I've heard of the game I'm not sure I'd want to play it in any case. That whole Fall/Fallout 3 whoring left a bitter aftertaste to boot.
213374U Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I tried the euro version. It sucked, regardless of the bugs. You can dig up the thread, I'm not going to bother repeating myself. :thumbsdown: Why the hell isn't there a :thumbsdown: emote? Perhaps OE thought it would be too risky to have their boards feature one since it could be spammed in topics regarding their games? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 That is good news. With a lack of sci fi CRPGs I plan on getting it. Harvey
Morgoth Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 That is good news. With a lack of sci fi CRPGs I plan on getting it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wouldn't call it a Sci Fi CRPG. More like a wannabe-cowboy CRPG, but whatever.... oh and there are no futuristic weapons at all! Rain makes everything better.
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Close enough for governemnt work. Harvey
Lancer Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I'll pass. Looks like I'll just wait for FO3. Lancer
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Oh, you mean the game that will be Morrowind with Guns and have zero to do with the previous Fallout CRPGs except in name only? I'll pass on that. Fallout is dead. Harvey
Volourn Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 "The people who played the German version werent exactly thrilled, no?" It got mixed reviews. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Fallout is dead. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd keep my hopes up. Too early too say, but I'd be willing to bet that FO3 will be better than The Fall. Todd Howard did say it was going to employ SPECIAL. And at least FO3 will have futuristic weapons " Lancer
GhostofAnakin Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 I'll probably end up getting it. I know there were disappointed gamers for the Euro release, but meh I'm lacking new RPG titles to play so whatever comes along (hence why I'm actually looking forward to Oblivion).

Volourn Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 Betehsda sucks, and I haven't played a SS game yet so SS is likely to make a better game 'cause Bethesda games are just plain awful. And, considering that Bethesda's prime series the ESC are amongst the buggiest games ever; their 'production values' aren't anything to praise either.

You can dig up the thread, I'm not going to bother repeating myself. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What was the story like? Without getting in to details, and disregarding the bugs or combat or anything else.

213374U Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 What was the story like? Without getting in to details, and disregarding the bugs or combat or anything else. In the future, after an unspecified climatic catastrophe, the world is a wasteland. Lots of raiders and bandits are free to rob, maim and murder. That is what they do with the PC's family and that is what causes his lust for revenge. The PC proceeds to walk through the wastes to some place called the "new government" that is nothing but a waste dump from where the self appointed president (which is a part-time farmer) is trying to unite the wasteland. Obviously, he's happy to have a new mercenary willing to get shot for him. And thus, you embark on your crusade to avenge your family and stuff. I didn't really get much into the story, as I installed and uninstalled the game in the same day. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Nah, he's talking about the game that will redefine the way Fallout is played, and make us look back on the classics as if they were 3rd-rate trash, as the story, combat, and AI will revolutionize the entire gaming industry ^_^

Nor have I ever hit a major bug in Arena or Daggerfall. You may dislike the style of play, but the games aren't buggy.
