Mac, welcome to the forums. I'd encourage you to play the original Fallout before you play Fallout 3, if for no other reason than to better understand why many of us greeted Bethesda's involvement in Fallout 3 with great wariness. Aside from that, it's one of the best RPGs ever created. Any RPG...

Maybe she described it as an "online text-based RPG" because the majority of the fucktards that comprise Bethesda's fanbase don't know what a MUD is.

But programmer.craig didn't compare games of yesteryear to any of the games you mentioned, he basically just went on a long, drawn-out, "get off my damn lawn" old man rant. The only specific examples of recent games that he mentioned were a handful of Bioware games and Fallout 1/2. I think his...

Sorry, that's the part I was referring to, the subscription bit. Though Gametap has been planning an announcement for Europe for like a year now.

The most retarded argument ever is the "games have to evolve" line. Really? Do they? How about not trying to fix what isn't broken? You don't see Blizzard making drastic changes to the Starcraft or Diablo series, do you? The GTA series hasn't had a significant change since 2001, and even then...

Far be it from me to question this woman's credentials, lest I be reprimanded by Briosafreak....but she went from online gamemaster to QA to associate producer? We should all be so lucky to experience that kind of advancement in our respective professions. There definitely seems to be a...

Bodybag said much of what I was going to say, but programmer.craig, you're including a whole lot of grinding when you total up your playtime of 100 hours plus. I grew up on the very types of games you're talking about, and when I go back and play them today, know what? All that grinding for...

C'mon dude, FO3 isn't going to be THAT bad. Doesn't seem like it.

Fixed. Btw, Von Drunky, no one here is saying that you can't enjoy the bobblehead. Knock yourself out. I think it looks like a cheap piece of shit, even by bobblehead standards. The rest is cool, though.

I like that too. Everything has a single button press associated with it so even the simplest of simpletons can enjoy Fallout 3. Maybe there's a WIN button as well. Your English is fine - "crippled head" sounds completely retarded to a native English speaker, believe me. I think you're right...

I dig the artwork on the lunchbox, I just have no use for a lunchbox sitting around and collecting dust. The bobblehead sucks and looks like a cheap giveaway. Even if the content of the "making of" DVD is annoying, everything just looks really cool.

Yeah, but people are lazy and complaining is easier than trying to actually fix the problem themselves. If you think that's bad, the Wii has 512mb of onboard flash memory and no hard drive support, only SD card support, which is capped at 4gb.

Aside from the lunchbox and bobblehead, I wouldn't mind owning the other stuff. A lot of giveaways and bonuses are downright crappy, but these look pretty swell.

Can't possibly see how it's bad. If people who've never had a chance to play Fallout do so because of Gametap, that's a good thing. It may indirectly help promote FO3, which you might consider a bad thing, but that juggernaut of hype has been rolling for quite a while now anyway. People who...

On the flip side, some people are angry over the fact that more and more PS3 games are requiring 4-5gb installs. I imagine those folks bought the 20gb model and are quickly running out of hard drive space. At least the PS3 is easily upgradeable, though.

People who hate Oblivion? But yeah, I don't want to play a total conversion of Oblivion, I want to play a real Fallout game, and in a lot of ways Fallout 3 doesn't look like it's going to deliver.

I somehow missed this whole level-scaling thing, and have been under the assumption that it wouldn't be included in FO3. I gave Bethesda praise in another thread for letting the player walk into a high-level area and get his ass handed to him early in the game, if he chooses to do so. At the...

In Fallout 3, cars must be the equivalent of those red barrels from Doom/Quake/every other FPS. Put a whole bunch of them together, shoot one, watch the chain reaction kablooey. Seems like this would be a balance issue, but the combat can't really get much worse, so.... Yeah, screw it, you can...

Hey, I'm just sayin'. It helps to know people. This gal could be supremely talented or she could really suck. I wouldn't know since I've never seen any of her artwork. However, she seems to be a fan of the original Fallout, so she's OK in my book. Seriously though, if you're looking for posts to...

It's true, I've been a console-lover all my life, starting with the NES I received as a present around 1988 or so. My plans of renting FO3 before buying took a bit of a hit last night, though - I got the dreaded Red Ring of Death on the ol' 360.
