I still stand by the fact that saying you are using monkeys and typewriters to write dialogue is a very blunt way to say, "We don't give a shit about the writing."

Correction, 2 GECKs. You get 2 fully functioning GECKs in Fallout 2. Which I suppose increases the mystery

Not to piss anyone off, but I thought this thread's about the writing? The Fallout 3 review that's posted up on NMA has the best quote about the problem with the writing, “Dialogue wasn't a battle we wanted to pick. There were other things that were more important for us to spend time and...

In Tactic's defense, it's a good tactical game. Not a good Fallout game, but fun none the less. I suppose because I don't have arthritis yet I can only hope that the kids of the future will not remember Fallout 3, nor think that's the medium of gaming. One can dream, one can dream...

We could always legalize abortion, and say "This is what I should have done with you. I have no son if you like this game"

But how long can that kind of legacy stand for? And I assure you, I remember Ultima IX. Oh God, do I remember it. The horror... the horror... And in all honesty, my buddies who bought the game (They're still good people...deep inside...) didn't pick it up because "a bunch of nutjob fans hated...

Eh, to actually make a point, we'd need a gaming magazine to say, "Fallout 3 is actually not that Goddamned good." But whoever writes that article is going to get their ass fired faster than throwing one's self into a furnace. As 1up.com said, Fallout 3 is a "hugely ambitious game that doesn't...

Once the bombs drop, everything will be forgotten. But seriously, this kind of game will be forgotten in a couple of years, easy. Look at it this way. Battle Toads. I know, don't kill me, I have a point. People still remember freaking Battle Toads although it's been maybe 20 years or so. Look at...

The thing about that screen shot is not technically how you see it in game, because it moves too quickly. If you screen cap a proper bloody mess, the very first frame of it before it goes into chunks is that, well, bloody mess of a frame. As soon as a energy weapon ends in a "awesome" kill, the...

Agreed with CStalin. Hell, even if you pick stuff up from the past, you can still find stuff that entertains you even now. Fallout 2, I did not know you could get that mafia chick preggers and have a son. That surprised me when I played it a couple of months ago. Fallout 1, I finally figured out...

[Fallout 2] I took a cocktail of drugs involving Psycho, Buffout, and Mentats before going into the military base, and I died. I also forgot to save for at least an hour of gameplay.

I really miss the little pictures that Fallout 1, 2, even Baldur's Gate had of the items in your inventory. I don't want to equip the stupid thing to see what it looks like. I just scroll through my stuff once in a while, trying to find one of my guns, thinking, "Where the hell is my plasma...

It is similar, kill everything on the outside, but however the long term effects are devastating. The water sources will continue to be polluted with this virus, so you can't reverse the contamination. So say the Enclave run out of their water, they are gonna have to drink the wasteland water...

And you have another thread similar to this, but I want to get into such great, extensive detail that it will probably be too long to read. Spoilers are included. WARNING, IS INCREDIBLY LONG! (Reasons listed are not rated which is worse) Reasons why it sucked: 1) The large, expansive...
