That is an interesting read- to get the perspective of a casual gamer experiencing Fallout for the first time. It's a bit like Dangerous Minds but they play computer games instead. I think that the majority of seasoned gamers forget how daunting they can be to a non-gamer. Playing even a...

I thought the Deathclaws in FO3 were excellently done. They were big, very fast, and very powerful. Brother None, I'm not sure how you had such ease with them, even at level 10. I encountered a single one randomly at about level 10 and got torn to shreds. Any I encountered after that I had...

Whether or not it works in that context is your opinion, and one which I disagree with. I think it works fine- it was certainly a surprise to me when I finally managed to figure out how to reach the centre of those mountains and found a forest. Along with Tranquility Lane and the vaults...

I disagree completely, I thought they totally nailed it. Reminded me of the robot from 'Lost in Space' (sixties, I know, but close enough in terms of style). There's what- a Chinese assault rifle and a Chinese officer's sword? Hardly "tons of Chinese weapons". At least, that's all I've...

Yes, God forbid that they try something different. I personally had no problem with Harold turning up in the way that he did, or the 'Oasis' setting. It was nicely juxtaposed with the wastes.

My favourite part of the new previews: "talking" Dogmeat who's very knowledgeable about the area. Dogmeat: Woof! VD: What's that, boy? A stimpak down the well? Dogmeat: Woof woof! VD: But it's protected by three super-fast, leaping feral ghouls? Oh noes!!!11 Dogmeat: Woof...

What about the remnants of the Master's army that fled east?

I think we've got our wires crossed here. You tried to refute my claim that mag-dev relationships are dictated by the devs, then you say that you agree. I'm not entirely sure what point you were trying to make, in that case.

Promising, if true. It would show that they are looking at the originals on a level deeper than the rape of Vault-Boy and Stimpaks. But, as Genoq points out, nothing is for certain with Bethsoft until the finished product hits the shelves.

Not so. Games magazines are so eager to get hold of exclusive material and sneek peeks that they'll gladly sacrifice any modicum of integrity in order to get it. The devs dictate when the magazines get to see their material. How is that naive? It would be naive to believe that this sort of...

Bethsoft's blatant lying about Oblivion during the development stage pretty much negates this claim until somebody has played the full game and obtained each individual ending.

The problem with the magazine-developer relationship is that it's dictated by the devs, not the magazines. Developers should have to prove to a sceptical group of journalists that their product is worth buying. Journalists should not be jumping through hoops for exclusives, they should be...

Nice job, Briosafreak. It's a good thing that people are going to an impartial site like yours as well as the "professional" gaming sites with their wonderfully unbiased previews.

Silly video games journalists. They think the fact that they are paid for their opinions and sycophantic "interviews" somehow makes their opinions more valid than everybody else's.

Or Bethsoft have decided that console players are far too stupid to handle a supermutant that, omg, might not actually be an enemy! They're big and green and ugly, they must be enemies, right?

They don't seem all that bad. In fact, the screenshots are infinitely preferable to the article itself and the new revelations. The ghouls healed by radiation- eh, that's not that big a stretch given that some of the ghouls in Gecko lived in the reactor because it made them feel good...

Ah, ok, fair enough.

The idea that sex should not be included in video games is something that holds back the legitimacy of the industry, frankly. No wonder it's viewed as a medium which releases products only for excitable pubescent boys who want to kill virtual people. Would you claim so contemptuously that those...

Game journalists differ from other media journalists in that they have no apparent ability to criticise products, especially hyped products, before they're released. They can correct this, occasionally, upon review. Assassin's Creed was released to less than stellar reviews from some of the...

I noticed that. Professional video game journalists... eh. They give us all a bad name (video game fans).
