even in 97. some games for pc did sell well and some didn't; Fallout 1 & 2 was not a commercial success.
Afterall the fate of its makers reflected it at the end
It was the best mainstream game offered in 2008 just judging from the general response of the media so being a clear GOTY is just a logical conclusion of it all
As such the game already has a far broader impact as its prequels hence the future of the franchise is guaranteed
hardly since the law of gravity isn't a property. Fallout Universe is and Beth. can define it and bend its fantasy setting as much thy like and it counts as canon.
Hence Fallout 3 story (meager as it is) is a direct continuation of the original story, as a sequel
Now ofc there are the few...
when i play Fallout 3 i get the feeling of playing a fallout game, thats the only thing that matters to me as a gamer; the whole iso / turn base argument is irrelevant to me as for most of the people playing the game out there. Its not only the gameplay that makes a Fallout game
And...
not in my opinion, since i own and did play Oblivion quiet through; other that certain similarities many which are engine based i never had the impression im playing an Elder Scrolls game
just because it doesn't fit in some boxed dogmatic ideas of how should a Fallout game look like that...
Gamespot hardly is or will be the only mainstream site to award GotY to Fallout 3; The game is far from being perfect or even a classic like FO1 but it is without any doubt a good game and a spiritual successor to the series.
Due to a general positive response be it media or the broad...
games on such a large scale tend to be by a degree repititive, even more if you invest more that 100+ gameplay hours needed to do it all. I aint bothered if thy use or recycle same objects like buildings, set items...to fill up the world . Fallout 2 did the same even if the world was much...
not suprising that this thread got hijacked by people who like on a crusade try to convince the group of players that actually like the game that their enjoyment is misplaced. The main argumentation is as always comparison with the prequels and rejecting the idea of a different gaming concept...
and that just there is the core problem why some on this site might lack the ability to form an objective view of FO3
No, the game isn't Fallout 1, i doubt Beth, ever wanted to make it as such nor do you need to know the originals to enjoy it or ciriticaly accept it. Its a spiritual successor...
yeah thy managed to bribe / bully the entire game media community to do their bidding. As such every positive review with a good score is biased and ridiculous :P
would be easyer to just make this as an announcement , since it looks like that 90+ is gonna prolly be the general score in most...
heh imagine the outcry if the Fallout mmo was real time; in any case i assumed the deal was that Interplay needs to come with a product in due time or thy lose the license
Kinda have my doubts that Inter. is capable of making a mmo, since projects like those leach a ton od money and can be a...
