Gorth Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 You know what would be AWESOME? If the Fallout franchise was passed around like a french hooker. Blizzard -> World of Fallout Square Enix -> Final Fallout Fantasy If Herve gets his way, the World of Fallout may still become a reality (the FOOL project). Maybe EA should pick it up, then we could get Fallout Games 2009 etc. ...or maybe even "Rad Alert", the RTS games. Pit your armies of BOS legionaires against the Super Mutie hordes in glorious realtime! >_ I think I'll wait until the game has been in the stores for some weeks and then check the feedback on NMA and DAC to see if it is any good. My short stint with Oblivion left me very unimpressed. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Slowtrain Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Sim Fallout? 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.

jaguars4ever Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) Ah, character creation...the best part of any RPG. After scouring the manual, I've carefully planned out my character. It's not a power build or anything like that (since that's kinda lame), but more of a charming-but physically-weak-good-natured-gunsliger-with-a-penchant-for-latin theme: Name: Doc Holiday ST 1 PE 6 EN 1 CH 8 IN 8 AG 10 LU 6 Tag: Small Guns, Speech, Repair Perks: Level 2: Lady Killer Level 3: Intensive Training: Luck Level 4: Educated (In vino veritas) Level 5: Child at Heart Level 6: Gunslinger Level 7: Bloody Mess Level 8: Commando Level 9: Intensive Training: Luck Level 10: Finesse Level 11: Mysterious Stranger (please be Wyatt Earp) Level 12: Sniper Level 13: Law Bringer (can you say OK Coral?) Level 14: Nerd Rage Level 15: Adamantium Skeleton Level 16: Action Boy Level 17: Better Criticals Level 18: Concentrated Fire Level 19: Cyborg Level 20: Grim Reaper's Sprint I'm your Huckleberry.

Aram Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 To ease the wait for Fallout 3: "Practically nobody bought the Fallout games. Lifetime sales in the UK, for instance, barely topped 50,000 units for the pair of them. Commercially, they were utterly disastrous." Source: Eurogamer's Restrospective Fallout Article I really had no idea. I don't think I know anyone who plays computer games who hasn't played Fallout and/or Fallout 2.. Isn't it also something like the most torrented game as well?

jaguars4ever Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) @crashgirl: There's some pretty heavy bastardization of SPECIAL in FO3. Most of the modifiers don't function in the way they did back in FO1/2. Will weapons require a minimum Strength? Or only a minimum in its governing attribute? (Perception = Energy, Endurance = Big, Agility = Small). Weapons do not check for minimum stat values, you can use any weapon you want, the skill/stat just makes you better or worse with the weapon http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/games...yourotherfallou Edit: Yeah, it's one of my favorite movies right up there with Terminator 2 and Aliens.

Llyranor Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Can't be worse than Bioshock or Halo3 or GTA4, right? Right, guys? Right? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Can't be worse than Bioshock or Halo3 or GTA4, right? And are you assuming those are were actually good games? "Geez.

Llyranor Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Holy crap this is the GOTY! This dude was like help me my mom is getting attacked by roaches and i said "Fork off" to him and he was like "Fork you monkey" and then i brought out a pistol and shot him in the leg and he came at me with a switch blade and i used VATS which is AWESOME AS FREAK to shoot it out of his hand and then he started crying and i BLEW HIS BLOODY head off OMG and then i walked by the room and his mom was like "Help me son!" and i was like "Too bad i already killed him" and then i SHOT HER HEAD OFF TOO! This is like 20 minutes into the game holy crap GOTY! I take back everything bad I said about the game pre-release. Everything. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Calax Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Halo3 was GOOD!? I call it a 7 at best. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Pop Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Gerstmann gives it 4/5, though he has an awful lot of complaints. This is one of those games, like Oblivion or anything out of Lionhead, that requires a good few weeks of digestion before a proper verdict is to be rendered. The combination of polish and apparent ambition is enough to bowl over any reviewer who gets less than that amount of time with the game. As evidenced by the ridiculous scores.

Maria Caliban Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Isn't it also something like the most torrented game as well?
