Fallout: Enemy Territory. <s>Orcs</s> Super Mutants vs. Humans.

Fixed. Also, it helps to "know people" in any profession, not just politics and the game industry. It's especially useful if you're boning someone who works at the place you're interning.

I'll rent it first, then decide.

As Black said, this is Bethesda's vision. They're making THEIR game, THEIR way, FOR them. Not for us old-school fans.

That's what I assumed he meant as well. And he's absolutely correct in saying that the visuals play a big part in the Fallout experience.

At least FOT had enjoyable combat, which is probably more than I'll be able to say about FO3.

I get the plug and play point. Now that I own all of the "current generation" consoles, I too find myself simply buying or renting console versions of games rather than the PC versions, for the sole reason of not having to worry about whether or not my PC can handle the game. Even if I have to...

FO3 might hit closer to the mark than FOT with regards to the "Fallout feel", but I have no doubt that FOT is going to be the better of the two games. Ok, the vaults may look good, but Bethesda has screwed up so many other things. Including, apparently, the music, which doesn't fit the Fallout...

"Snip" denotes where someone has deleted text, either from a quote, or their own post, etc. On topic, I don't quite get the whole "we're older now, we have kids and no time so we play consoles" line of thinking. There are casual, quick fix, pick-up-and-play games on both PC and console, just...

I still don't care for the main theme. On its own, it's ok, but in the context of a Fallout game, I don't think it works. Sounds much more like an "epic" score from a feature film than anything having to do with the Fallout series. The Megaton theme is nice and appropriately subdued, and is...

I have to admit that despite not really being a GTA fan (my wife was the one who wanted the game), GTA4 does have some truly great fictional in-game content, as Bodybag mentioned. Some of the TV shows you can sit around and watch are better than the actual game itself. And I've always enjoyed...

I've played GTA4, and you're spot-on. It's more of the same ol', same ol'. I'd give it a 9 tops (maybe an 8.5 for all the freezing/crashing issues on both the PS3 and 360). It's a good game, if you're into the GTA series, but it's definitely not God's gift to gamers, which many reviews would...

Yup, "GOTY" surely has to be GTA4. That damn game (PS3 version) still has a rating of 100 over on Metacritic. I didn't know that doing more of the same 'ol, same 'ol only with shinier graphics was "groundbreaking", but that's what most reviewers seem to think. Also, GTA4 apparently cures...

I agree. Fallout 3 isn't going to flop. It'll sell like hotcakes, just like Bioshock, Gears of War, Oblivion, GTA4 and every other endlessly-hyped game nowadays. It's just like mainstream movies - if you tell people enough times that something is good, they'll buy it and believe it's good. Why...

Yeah, I realize that when Beth says that FO3 is "Oblivion with guns in all the best ways", they don't mean that FO3 is a post-apocalyptic mod for Oblivion. I understand that they mean that FO3 contains all of Oblivion's best elements...whatever those may be. All I'm saying is that "Oblivion with...

After thinking it over, I can't decide if I like or dislike the new weapons. Initially, I thought "Cripes, Duke Nukem 3D" as some others did. Then I thought "Well, maybe they sorta fit". Now I'm just not sure. I do know that I hate the names. I think I can tolerate the freeze ray, but the...

Thing is, to Bethesda's audience, and to many members of the mainstream media - i.e. people who enjoyed Oblivion and think it's the greatest RPG ever created - "Oblivion with guns" is a good thing. Tell the average myopic, console-playin' dipshit (disclaimer: I own several consoles and enjoy all...

Fallout's music was one of the most memorable things about the game for me. Leave it to Beth to fuck that up too, eh? I think we've all suspected this was coming, though, ever since they showed that trailer with the BoS accompanied by a blaring, pompous fanfare. Chivalrous Knights of the...

That Star Wars analogy was seriously bad. Assuming Lucas dies? WTF? Anyway, Pete came off as much less of a marketroid douchebag in this interview than he has in other stuff I've read. But yeah, lying is a way of life for PR folks. No surprise there. Oh yeah, and I'm another person who...

-1 for not really understanding what "turn-based" means, but +1 for being one of the few media outlets to openly wonder why a true turn-based game wouldn't have worked. Ya know, just like the previous two Fallout games.
