    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #51

    Seriously? Really c'mon. Even the biggest Beth fanboy can point out at least one flaw. i mean there's bloody glitches all over the place! That's not even a subjective criticism. He also thinks that 3rd person perspective is playable which is funny stuff.

    Why is no one talking about the Watchmen trailer?

    You know I'm not so concerned with whether or not this movie will be good, but whether or not it should even be made. It's a curious thing with people, they tend to want more of something they like. Whether it be a sequel or a film adaptation, they just can't seem to be satisfied with just one...

    Boy, 8, fatally shoots self with Uzi at gun show

    I live like 5 miles from this town. Didn't think anyone outside of West. Ma had hear about it. After all, few people outside of West. Ma have heard of West. Ma.

    Anyone else find computer hacking depressing?

    I find the computer hacking incredibly annoying which is why, despite the overabundance of computers in 3, I still haven't hacked more than I did in Fallout 2 which really didn't have all that many. As for the lockpicking minigame parts of it piss me off. Sometimes I'll try a place and my...

    Oasis

    I can't remember which armor gives you a gun bonus, but that could be explained in any number of ways from extra recoil compensation (or perhaps just less perceived recoil), a steady arm with less sway, or in the cse of power armor perhaps targeting assistance via in helmet HUD or similar...

    Impressions thread for positive impressions

    These threads always seem a bit pointless to me. If you want to argue a point, especially something you think has been overlooked, fine. But when you not only basely attack generalizations of arguements against aspects of the game and the userbase of this forum in general you accomplish nothing...

    Storage

    Does anyone know how dependable storage is? Is it like in the games of old when you could just shove stuff in a locker and leave it there for an eternity? I want to drop off some valuable weapons that I don't use much (Missile launcher, minigun) and my power armor that I can't use yet at my...

    Pop culture reference [SPOILER]

    I noticed as I was going through the metro to the Penn Ave that Ghouls seem to be unusual susceptible to headshots. For instance one burst from an assault rifle in VATS finishes them right off. Could be a Romero/zombie reference.

    When did they find the time? (fallout 3)

    If you're going to take a some-what realistic approach to this then you have to factor in that nothing would be left of DC. Nothing. Imagine the glow times 10000. Even if some or even all bombers were shot down the thing would be blown to hell and back. Besides New York, there is nothing besides...

    Fallout 3. Is it really so bad?

    We haven't seen any NPD data yet so it's all really speculation, but in a month filled with highly antecipated releases it's seeming like Fallout 3 has been someone overshadowed. FPS fans get Gears 2 Friday (yeah, yeah ThPS, same difference) and RPG fans got Fable 2 last week. I think in the end...

    Enemy AI

    Does anyone know if the AI protocol for the NPC was jsut c and p'd for Fallout 3? If so it makes a lot of sense. I was playing today and I realized all the AI does is charge at you, almost without exception. This makes a lot of sense in a medieval world where bullets don't exist and arrows are...

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #16

    Agreed, not only was it spot on, it shows a good use of language that I rarely see in game reviews.

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #7

    Well now I'm convinced. This game has to be 'teh shit' because they say it is. It would seem standards have gone down a lot, but I guess if you felt Oblivion was 'teh shit' then this one will be the same in your book. Also on an semi-related note Kotaku posted a thing about early reviews on...

    Joystiq, Kotaku. GameSpy Fallout 3 previews

    My favorite comments were people defending the game by saying you can't judge it yet. Not only is this a fallacy, but incredibly hipocritical. This was not being said to people who were saying "TH1S GAEM IS TEH WIN!111!!!"

    IGN Fallout 3: Six Hours of Exploration

    Seems to me that a mix of radiation, rubble, and maybe high level raiders or other enemies would be a good way to block off the outside world. Maybe they're super-high levels because they have to be extra tough to exist outside of the city or maybe they've absorbed extra radiation. Wouldn't be...

    Fallout 3: Skills and Perks

    I agree with you to some degree, but just like there's nothing wrong with seeing a stupid summer movie even though it's not The Godfather, there's nothing wrong with play a simple FPS. And they're even some really good FPSes depite their lack of innovation. COD4's campaign was nothing new, but...

    Fallout 3. Is it really so bad?

    I rented Mercs 2 yesterday and so far I have to say certain things remind me of Fallout 3. The nuke being one of them. But then again, I'm playing Mercenaries games, not an RPG, so who knows if I'll find F3 even half as enjoyable. At this point I'm just going to call Fallout 3, F3 and pretend...

    Play.tm/Weekly Blend interview Pete Hines

    ... The 90s were almost a decade ago now. I think it would be more accurate to say that most of the gamers who played back then don't play much if at all now. And I'm guessing they're still PCers. When you think of the key demo graphic for gamers is like late twenties and thirties, those...
