October 10, 200817 yr No proper modding support for FO3 for now, is the official word. So, uh. Really?! I thought they said there was going to be a toolset shipping with the game...
October 10, 200817 yr No proper modding support for FO3 for now, is the official word. So, uh. Really?! I thought they said there was going to be a toolset shipping with the game... Nope. The release of a tool set is still undetermined. Possiblty sometime in the future. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
October 10, 200817 yr More like a quarter past never. Any how this game being pirated when it hasn't been released yet, nothing but bull****. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
October 10, 200817 yr Any how this game being pirated when it hasn't been released yet... Pre-release copy, some say a reviewer's copy, got uploaded to the internets and it quickly got snatched up and spread. Not really that much to it.
October 10, 200817 yr Funny, that's what DRM tries to stop. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
October 10, 200817 yr Funny, that's what DRM tries to stop. And fails at, just look at Spore - all the DRM in the world and yet it was also released the day it went gold.
October 10, 200817 yr Funny, that's what DRM tries to stop. And fails at, just look at Spore - all the DRM in the world and yet it was also released the day it went gold. Actually Spore was up before the Euro and NA release dates, but street date was supposedly broken in AUS.
October 10, 200817 yr It can't be pirated considering it hasn't been released yet. If so where is this alleged download/game at? Btw, please do not post any information or links that might (a) help someone find the leaked FO3, or (b) pirate games in general. There's no problem with discussing this, but we can do so without posting specific information that others can just google. *Cough* >_ “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

October 10, 200817 yr I don't want to Google. Takes too long. Much easier to ask and get a direct answer. Doesn't matter to me though. Rumors on teh internets is full of **** any way. Pirated after going gold. Double LOLZ! Edited October 10, 200817 yr by Dark_Raven Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
October 10, 200817 yr I don't want FO3, not even for free “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
October 10, 200817 yr And fails at, just look at Spore - all the DRM in the world and yet it was also released the day it went gold. No, it lasted until release! (well, not quite, but only because a disk was leaked in AUS a few days early). (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
October 10, 200817 yr well, not quite, but only because a disk was leaked in AUS a few days early. A few days?! It was leaked five-to-seven days before the street date, about a week. However, you are correct that it was most likely gold before it was cracked. Edited October 10, 200817 yr by Strix

However, you are correct that it was most likely gold before it was cracked. Five to Seven days before the NA release maybe. AUS release date was September 4th according to Wikipedia. Only a day after the torrents popped up.
October 10, 200817 yr Regardless of when Spore was pirated and when Fallout 3 was pirated, I doubt either date had much to do with the type of DRM used. Internal security with respect to leaks and simple lack (or lack thereof) probably had much more to do with it.
October 10, 200817 yr There's been a few streams of people playing the game here and there, and I have to say that my interest in the game has yet another all-time low. I'm sorry, but I think this game looks terrible. Not only a terrible Fallout game, but if compared to Oblivion it just doesn't feel like it has improved that much. Voiceacting and writing is still terrible, and in some ways worse. Since they've tried to make it more ambitious, the failure is just even harder (just like what happened in Shivering Isles). The voiceacting is truly bad with a few exceptions. your interest in Fallout 3 hit 'another all-time low'? because it sounds to me like you actually went out of your way to find online footage of other people playing FO3 and sat through enough of it in order to post your little mini-review there. sounds to me that despite your interest in Fallout 3 being at 'another all-time low', your interest is, in fact, still pretty damned high...

October 10, 200817 yr Then let me rephrase it. My interest in Fallout 3 in how it relates to the franchise in general, in how the various different "factions" of fans will view the game and its general acceptance in the gaming world is quite high. My interest in Fallout 3 in the sense of how much I want to try it out and actually play it myself is at an all-time low. Finding online footage was not very hard since the link was readily available at the top thread in another forum I frequent, it was how I found out the game leaked.

October 10, 200817 yr My interest in Fallout 3 in how it relates to the franchise in general, in how the various different "factions" of fans will view the game and its general acceptance in the gaming world is quite high. hmm, i'm a big fan of Fallouts 1 & 2 but i could care less about 'how the various different factions of fans will view the game' or 'its general acceptance in the gaming world'. and frankly, i'm more than a little suspicious of reviews from folks who are, especially anyone who'd describe themselves as a member of a 'faction' of Fallout fans. dumber than a bag of hammers
October 10, 200817 yr Author Huh, why? I'm not very interested in buying the game myself, because I don't have enough spending income to buy things i suspect I may not enjoy... but I'm a big fan of FO1&2 and I'm very interested in how people see it. I mean, if you're not, fair play, but it confounds me how that would make you "suspicious".

October 10, 200817 yr it confounds me how that would make you "suspicious". because folk like that more than likely have an axe to grind? if you've been following FO3 even a little, it can hardly have escaped your attention that some folk are determined to hate it no matter what. odds are that someone who is more interested in the reception of the game than the game itself isn't coming at the game free of preconceptions or biases. dumber than a bag of hammers

Congratulations? It's great that you don't care about those things, but what does that have to do with my post? I happen to care about it. Not sure what your point is? I think it looks like a poor game, if you think that's suspicious then so be it. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
October 10, 200817 yr Author if you've been following FO3 even a little, it can hardly have escaped your attention that some folk are determined to hate it no matter what There's always a reason. Sometimes, it's not a very good/logical reason, or the reaction (i.e. hate) is overblown, but there is a reason behind why some people, by now (after years of incidents and arguments), now seem negative by predisposition. You don't have to 'understand them' or anything, but heh.

You don't have to 'understand them' or anything, but heh. great but so what? if you agree that there's a bunch of Fallout fans who are - for whatever reason - now reflexively anti-Bethesda, then how can you be 'confounded' when i say i'm suspicious of reviews of Fallout 3 from people who profess not to be interested in the game itself? Edited October 10, 200817 yr by newc0253 dumber than a bag of hammers
October 10, 200817 yr I wonder if there's any other game series out there that produces as much emotional reactions as Fallout does. Rain makes everything better.
October 10, 200817 yr I don't think I've ever watched a video of a game I wasn't interested in. That must be tough.
