    The Vault previews Fallout: New Vegas, #2

    Was the game any more fluid than Fallout 3? Or did it still have that characteristic of cumbersomeness that F3 and Oblivion had? Because that was an aspect that I would always have trouble adapting to after playing a game with a more smooth engine.

    New Vegas DLC, ending and interview

    Who cares if Bethesda decided that Aliens had a hand in it? I think that is an interesting idea. Say, there were already very high tensions going on on Earth, and the Aliens send a broadcast or hacked to launch a nuke. Then the countries proceeded as they were previously planning. I don't see...

    New Vegas DLC, ending and interview

    I think Area 51 would be cool. Aliens conspiracies and the like are big aspects of 50s science, so long as it is new and interesting, I think it is a great idea.

    Fallout: New Vegas Con previews, #5

    The former two were DLC, so are not really good examples of the game, and the latter is simply a consequence of a interesting idea (colony of kids after nuclear holocaust), gone a little wrong to some people. Who cares if they are immortal, you wouldn't want to kill them, would you? Kids are...

    Eurogamer interviews Todd Howard

    Yes, that would be great if they came up with a story that starts out in Europe and you go to the US, or vice versa. Like, REAL exploration, as opposed to a couple square miles of identical terrain. I can deal with the current engine, they can make upgrades to it, but I hope they get a new...

    Why there are no ladders in Bethesda/Gamebryo games

    Maybe because the reviewers thought that it was a good game. Maybe because they didn't care about no ladders or a "half assed effort", as it is put. Maybe they could overlook the flaws of the game, and see it as a good game. Every game has flaws, and if ladders in the game are really gonna be...

    Why there are no ladders in Bethesda/Gamebryo games

    I don't get it, how is using ladders as an area transition any different from a two-dimensional game, or on with no voice acting? They are all consequences of the older style of development, but that doesn't mean that they are bad, right? Or... does it? ....

    Why there are no ladders in Bethesda/Gamebryo games

    It appears to me that almost everyone here is deriding them for it. And also, there are ladders in Fallout 3. Ever been to Rivet City? Does the game need to have ladders that can actually be climbed? No, I don't really think so. What is the matter with stairs, or ladders that lead to new cells...

    New Vegas outgunning 3 in preorders; Fallout 3 sales

    I don't really get it. Bethesda getting the Fallout franchise was a great move. Whole new universe for them to work with, revived a near dead series, and really provided a lot more opportunities for Bethesda to make a fun game. Reception to Fallout 3 was near universal in acclaim, amongst people...

    New Vegas outgunning 3 in preorders; Fallout 3 sales

    That is pretty cool, goes to show that most of the people who got Fallout 3 are getting New Vegas. Obsidian is lucky that Bethesda reeled in such a large fanbase with that title. And hype doesn't mean a game is no good. Fable had lots of hype, a LOT of hype, but it was still a great game, I...

    Feargus Urquhart interview on Gamasutra

    Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I don't really consider RTS or Turn Based ones, like Civ, to be isometric. Technically, they are, but I am thinking of like Neverwinter Nights or Fallout. And Diablo 3 will likely be acclaimed, but may not be what a lot of players nowadays are looking for. The ever...

    Feargus Urquhart interview on Gamasutra

    Regardless of your interpretation of the market's supposed misinterpretation, games like Call of Duty and movies like Avatar are high selling amongst youth (biggest consumer of games) because they are "cool", with lots of action. Sure, there are plenty of peeps who like game engines like Fallout...

    Will Fallout 3 be remembered?

    Definitely. This game will definitely be remembered more than F1 and F2. There are SOOOO many more people who played F3 and don't know much about F1 and F2 than people who played F1 and F2 but not F3. F3 set a new standard for modern open world RPGs, which was really already set by Oblivion...

    Feargus Urquhart interview on Gamasutra

    He claims to like the first two games, but he also likes Fallout 3? Clearly, he isn't a true Fallout fan, amirite? Nice interview though.

    Pick up some post-apocalyptic shooters for cheap

    Yeah I played Fallout 3 like 2 times for a total of like 100 hours, but I don't think STALKER is any good. I've read reviews and played it a few minutes at a time, but I don't own the game and don't play it a lot. I still think it sucks though, because Fallout 3 is so much better and I can't...

    PC Gamer welcomes our new Roman overlords... back?

    Why so cynical, maybe this reviewer does know about Van Buren? Why does he have to be a poser and ignorant to the original series? The people at this site aren't the only ones who have any knowledge of the previous Fallouts. Nothing special or rare about it. Game sounds good though.

    Tim Cain interview on Matt Chat, part 2

    Pull your heads out of the sand, ffs. The way that I am saying F3 is better than F2 anf F1 is the same as me saying that cooked steak is better than raw steak. Sure, some people love raw steak, and they can exercise that opinion. But most people prefer their steak cooked. Oh, but cooked steak...

    Tim Cain interview on Matt Chat, part 2

    That is your own perception. There are probably several hundred other perceptions of F3 that match yours. Now, there are dozens of thousands of perceptions of F3 that think that it is a good game. Your point that, even though it was enjoyable, it isn't good, is completely irrational. A good game...

    Tim Cain interview on Matt Chat, part 2

    I don't much care for Bertrand Russell. He could also have said the same for a "good" thing. For the most part, when it comes to entertainment the public knows what they want. Buying a video game is a lot different from buying tickets to a movie, people put more thought into it. When a bunch of...
