even in 97. some games for pc did sell well and some didn't; Fallout 1 & 2 was not a commercial success. Afterall the fate of its makers reflected it at the end

It was the best mainstream game offered in 2008 just judging from the general response of the media so being a clear GOTY is just a logical conclusion of it all As such the game already has a far broader impact as its prequels hence the future of the franchise is guaranteed

hardly since the law of gravity isn't a property. Fallout Universe is and Beth. can define it and bend its fantasy setting as much thy like and it counts as canon. Hence Fallout 3 story (meager as it is) is a direct continuation of the original story, as a sequel Now ofc there are the few...

when i play Fallout 3 i get the feeling of playing a fallout game, thats the only thing that matters to me as a gamer; the whole iso / turn base argument is irrelevant to me as for most of the people playing the game out there. Its not only the gameplay that makes a Fallout game And...

not in my opinion, since i own and did play Oblivion quiet through; other that certain similarities many which are engine based i never had the impression im playing an Elder Scrolls game just because it doesn't fit in some boxed dogmatic ideas of how should a Fallout game look like that...

Gamespot hardly is or will be the only mainstream site to award GotY to Fallout 3; The game is far from being perfect or even a classic like FO1 but it is without any doubt a good game and a spiritual successor to the series. Due to a general positive response be it media or the broad...

games on such a large scale tend to be by a degree repititive, even more if you invest more that 100+ gameplay hours needed to do it all. I aint bothered if thy use or recycle same objects like buildings, set items...to fill up the world . Fallout 2 did the same even if the world was much...

not suprising that this thread got hijacked by people who like on a crusade try to convince the group of players that actually like the game that their enjoyment is misplaced. The main argumentation is as always comparison with the prequels and rejecting the idea of a different gaming concept...

and that just there is the core problem why some on this site might lack the ability to form an objective view of FO3 No, the game isn't Fallout 1, i doubt Beth, ever wanted to make it as such nor do you need to know the originals to enjoy it or ciriticaly accept it. Its a spiritual successor...

yeah thy managed to bribe / bully the entire game media community to do their bidding. As such every positive review with a good score is biased and ridiculous :P would be easyer to just make this as an announcement , since it looks like that 90+ is gonna prolly be the general score in most...

another game with average sales ?

right...Fallout 2 was one of the most buged games of its time. Pre - patch it was quiet frustrating

Yes since Beth. has the whole gaming media in their grasp :roll:

heh imagine the outcry if the Fallout mmo was real time; in any case i assumed the deal was that Interplay needs to come with a product in due time or thy lose the license Kinda have my doubts that Inter. is capable of making a mmo, since projects like those leach a ton od money and can be a...

well i asume there gonna be a fload of reviews out soon including NMAs own to get an objective idea of the game

Yes when it concerns the game concept itself, people like it or not. But with the information we have so far and not trying the game first hand its hardly possible to judge gameplay elements and do an review of the game. How does it play for one.

amazing how many people played the game already as thy are able to do an objective aserment of the game quality. Did i miss an early realise somewhere or do you judge the game based on the few hours of gameplay, previews and screenshots ? Some alredy decided to hate this game from the moment...

yes thy are but would you describe them as a successful game developer ? How many people ever heard of Exile here? the 1000-2000 box games thy sell and half of it is shareware ? not do their titles appear on the media. because thy have marketing departments and thy assert the risk factors...

And how many people know of their products ? more like shareware, compared to beth or bioware their impact in gaming industry is none. I never said niche games dont exist but thy aren't mainstream nor do thy create direct profits. because you are assuming turn based games do sell, yet just...

Can you give me an example of a successful developer using that model ? you call it over--commercialisation i call it less popular; thy produce a concept that appeals to a broader audience. There is a reason that turn based games haven't been produced and lack of innovation ain't it. Less...
