WorstUsernameEver Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 GameSurf (Italian) 8.5/10 Curiously enough one of their positive is that Obsidian added things to the gameplay.
Lexx Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Imagine it would have been a negative point. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Slowtrain Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I don't know why people are even bothering with the reviews. It's obviously going to be a worthwhile game if you enjoy the core FO3 gameplay mechanics. If you don't, then probably don't bother. This is not an original IP or even a new iteration of an existing IP where we don't know what to expect. On the contrary we know exactly what to expect. For good and for bad. 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.
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I've already preloaded it. I'm simply interested in how the mainstream perceives it since it'll likely have an impact on Obsidian in the future.
PoetAndMadman Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 And right now it seems that the future for Obsidian is bright.
Bendu Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I'm simply interested in how the mainstream perceives it since it'll likely have an impact on Obsidian in the future. This. The better the scores, the better the sales, the higher the chances for another collaboration between Bethesda and Obsidion over a Fallout game. At least I hope.
Labadal Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Or maybe Obsidian can make an original IP again! I'd love that.
HoonDing Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 That invisible typewriter shown in the RPS article is deliciously funny. I hope that's not really a bug but insted a case of a smartass NPC. The bethssoft version of this engine has flaws and problems that have been around now for a long long time. Obiously they are either not-fixable or too difficult to bother fixing. Don't review the engine. It sucks. We know. Review the game. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Tale Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I imagine it's a case of the typewriter falling through the desk. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Sannom Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 O. Boulon from Canard PC is chatting with the people on the 'his' forum about the game, answering numerous questions about graphics, gameplay, hardcore mode, strategy, etc. There is too much thing to sum up here, but he just said that what some reviews present as bugged quests (no reward of any sort) are not bugged at all, but simply ways for a player to assert his 'roleplay'. And apparently they have visible repercussions later on. Also, he said that Boone is not really the talkative type, so if you like them chatty, don't take him as your companion. He still said that he is really well written, everything from his past and previous experiences, to how the world responds to him (beggars in some areas insult him because he is part of the NCR, NCR civilians are impressed, NCR soldiers are envious that you got to be his partner).
Thorton_AP Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I haven't seen it here yet. How do I enable hardcore mode?
Tale Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Hardcore is enabled as a popup option after a certain point. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Slowtrain Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I'm simply interested in how the mainstream perceives it since it'll likely have an impact on Obsidian in the future. k. Fair enough. I can see that. 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.

Morgoth Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Or maybe Obsidian can make an original IP again! I'd love that. Or maybe Obsidian is gonna make Elder Scrolls VI, after the inevitable ESV. Nah, just kidding. What about that Wheel of Time game? Is that still in the pipeline? Rain makes everything better.
Tale Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 One hopes. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
HoonDing Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Dune RPG, dammit. After Dungeon Siege IV. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Tale Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I wanna be a Fremen. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Morgoth Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Alien RPG. Kthxbye. Rain makes everything better.
Hassat Hunter Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 My point is that it means nothing. The vast majority of players found Mass Effect 2 to be a fairly polished experience, especially on the lead platform (which is the Xbox360) while a common complaint of reviewers is that the lead platform version of New Vegas is buggy. Predictable? Surely. But it doesn't make me happy in the slightest and I'm sure it doesn't make Josh and the crew happy either. Except that they are the one that worked on the game so they should know more than me about why the game has these issues. So... you base your point that games aren't buggy these days on REVIEWS? The same who found none of said pesky things in Oblivion, or Fallout? Not to mention loads of other titles. Consider me unimpressed by your proof. ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

Calax Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Heya Calax, The following was sent to me by Chris and with his permision, here is his reply! Hey, Fionavar, Bethesda gave permission, please tell him "he" is outside a town called Nipton in the SW region of the map, and he's going to be difficult to miss along the critical path of the game. Please ask him to keep it hush-hush until the day of release, however. Chris with respect, F Just thought I'd toss that out there. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
