And It has been a while since I played fallout 1/2... but with a targeted shot to the head + bloody mess... people would explode and body parts fly off? That I don't remember.

 

A little over 1 minute into the video he uses a gause rifle -> http://youtube.com/watch?v=EYd59yMIDz8

 

He makes a targeted shot at the eyes but the enemy loses a limb and a big chunk out their torso.

heh I guess I never noticed that. Amusing.

And if you had the violence setting turned up, you didn't even need bloody mess.

 

Or if you were very good landing crits. Or if you loved mini-guns.

Watched the vid, t hanks Jaesun.

 

Sadly, I'm already bored of VATS after that. I mean, the originals' combat weren't that great, but basically this is your standard shooter game, except sometimes, you can make people go boom with lots of splats!

Here you go! http://e3.g4tv.com/e32008/videos/26939/Han..._Fallout_3.html

 

See, I was not joking.

 

Buh? Enemies exploding into gibs... because of teddy bears? Even with Bloody Mess that seems excessive...

Really, all of these complaints aren't anything that couldn't be levelled against the original games. You could blow a chunk out of a guy's torso with a BB gun if you really tried. And bloody mess w/ unarmed has already mentioned (which likely will not show up in Fallout 3, so it all evens out). As for the grenade not really working out, well, if you think about it, it worked the same way in the original games. You aimed a grenade based on where the target is when you throw it, not where he will be when the grenade lands.

 

Besides, as I said earlier, this is an obvious prefab demonstration. The game itself may work differently.

The combat in this game is definitely over the top and silly. Though, I think I might be able to enjoy it if three things are achieved.

 

1. That I'm able to forget how non-sensible some of the weapons are and just enjoy the silliness of it all

2. They fix the poor AI seen in the demonstrations

3. They have an option to disable the slow motion bullet cam

 

Taking this game with any sort of serious intent will probably just lead to me disliking it

Actually it didn

I almost laughed at the teddy bear cannon.

 

It's awesome, as long as you're not serious about it.

Not a fan of the FPS-esque part of the combat. It might be interesting to try, but I hope I never fail missions because my twitch-ability lets me down.

For those interested in continued Fallout 3 discussions

 

I'll settle for listening in on the discussion. Not too excited about it
