Tale Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) The fun wears thin when you've heard it for the 100th time. It's like over using a joke.

alanschu Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Hammertime is an inside joke that only a handful of people on this forum understand. Someone recently posted this picture and said they thought of me. I laughed and figured I'd post it as an avatar. I don't put much stock into avatars and signatures. You've never seen me say "Hammertime" in a regular post. Otherwise, I could say the same for anyone that has an avatar for an extended period of time.

Cantousent Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I enjoyed Oblivion, but I would be much more interested in the game if it were in the same style of the other two Fallouts. Like Sand, I think the tech demo is much more in line with my view of Fallout. On the other hand, railing against Fallout development projects is sooooo late '90s. You know, there must be a new fad somewhere. I would probably be rabid and foaming at the mouth except that I'm too lazy and I'm looking for the next big trend, not the last one.

steelfiredragon Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 not quite a good move, if its made for the xbox 360 then it will end up being as bad as fobos was, it will fail and the franchise of fallout will pass on into the trash bin.

And by huge failure I mean Todd Howard probably sleeps on a great big pile of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Well, we have had SPECIAL in real time in three different games and each game Real Time SPECIAL sucked each and every time.

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Since Oblivion was released for the 360 and FO3 will use the same engine, why WOULDNT it be released on the 360 aswell? This doesnt even qualify as news. Also, FO3 will be an RPG/FPS "oblivion with guns", and what worries me is to my knowledge, Bethesda has never done an FPS before. We Swedes are very particular about our FPSs and if they muck it up...

Arkan Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 The atmosphere and setting (and subsequently how it is used) is more important to me than SPECIAL when it comes to Fallout. There isn't really anything inherently special about SPECIAL, to be honest. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 It is all three that makes Fallout for me. Atmosphere, Setting, and Rules System are all equally important in a CRPG.

Hurlshort Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 The only thing about SPECIAL for me is the perks, like bloody mess. Any cool perk system is enjoyable for me. Arcanum was another game where I really enjoyed a cool perk system. I'd imagine it would be possible to do it in Fallout 3, but we'll have to wait on more details.

Sand Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 SPECIAL was more than that. It was the Rules System. It governed how skills worked, determined the combat mechanic, character progression, and so forth and so on. Everything the character did within the game referred back to the game mechanics of the SPECIAL Rules System.

Sand Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) What does 3.5e have to do with SPECIAL? Moving from 3e to 3.5e was not shattering at all. Moving from 2e to 3e... Now that taken some getting use to but that is off topic, Miss Moderator. I stand what I said about SPECIAL. SPECIAL does not work in real time. That has been proven in Lionheart, FOPOS, and Fallout Tactics. Without SPECIAL then its not Fallout.
