Really... Arguing about the plausibility of the nanosuit? That misses the point of the game entirely (sandbox action). It's not a simulation (although the guns 'feel' more authentic than most any other game I've played). The game has a few problems bigger than that in any case. You could...

If somebody ruined the story for you I could see that, but if you haven't played through it yet it is without a doubt worth it. You'd be wrong to assume you've experienced everything the game has to offer just by playing the demo :o .

Wait, wait... That screenshot was from another Fallout game? You do realize Harold is featured pretty prominently in Fallout 3, right?

Just out of curiosity, what games do you like? :shock: Re: MGS4 'best graphics and engine ever' - have you ever seen Crysis / Crysis: Warhead in person?

The arguments come in when people make completely ridiculous claims - including but not limited to FO3 being so weak as to be distracting in the graphics department (Source/Oblivion are better?), or the entire game is ruined because the same general model is used for many ghouls (this is...

Call of Duty had so many memorable moments that, as a whole, I thought the game was great. "All Ghillied Up" was worth the price of admission for me. The infinitely spawning baddies was just... Well, why implement that when you don't have to? It artificially made the game more of a pain in the...

I guess I'll be the first... That's AWESOME :shock:

I understand your point, but you're still being stubborn. This isn't a game changing bug or anything of the sort; it's something that is completely avoidable should you prefer that it be avoided. The point being, it's shoved into the game but not into your face. If you can't get past that point...

It's frankly not even an issue of patching the game. I played through it twice and never once used the respawn system, because I didn't want to. I wasn't so stubborn that I forced myself to use a feature that I didn't like - I chose not to use it. You may try that sometime, maybe you'll enjoy...

I tried to after the fact, but you apparently replied to that reply the second I posted it as I couldn't delete it o.O. Nor do they have to be taken as the same thing. You loved every part of the package, it was $50 for the whole thing, and it's overrated? o.O. It's okay for you to admit...

Even with that opinion taken into account, they look no worse than Oblivion's, and the environmental effects / etc. blow away their previous offerings. Compare long range vistas between the two games.

Probably that, I can understand the annoyance :p. Portal was the strongest part of the package IMO - very simple and yet very rewarding/fun. I love story-driven games and even prefer them, so Portal was a big surprise for me.

If only the article itself wasn't ridiculous. Orange Box, overrated? I've literally never heard that, nor would I ever believe it - it's one of the best gaming packages of all time and included three of the best games of the past year, as well as one of the best games of all time...

I said it was one of the highest, rather than the highest, which would be utterly false. Just wanted to clarify. You mentioned it yourself, but that's a mod and not part of the original game. Literally the only thing we can really compare there is the backgrounds, as they are unaltered...

Those screenshots do certainly highlight some irregularities. Several points, though - -None of the Source-based games have day-night cycles; they don't even need that kind of positional lighting. In the case of indoor environments, yes, that is a bit jarring, but not too hard to understand...

To me, personally, the atmosphere is damned good (although it'd be cool if the lighting was a bit more 'dark' at night), and that alone lifts the game from being awful. As an RPG it certainly lacks the depth of some other games, but the story so far has been fairly engaging, and the side...

I generally go by Gamerankings, as I don't like to spend the time browsing random reviews, but either way, a 7/10 doesn't exactly support Fallout 3 being a bad game. For sure, I have no problem with reviewers acknowledging that as a Fallout game it falls short of expectations - every...

Couple of points - I never said it was the highest rated game of the year, I said it's up there. Please don't misquote me. There's no way for me to prove that you're wrong in stating that most reviewers have been 'bought,' as I can't prove a negative, but I feel the onus is on you to...

I understand completely that it's natural to be biased against the game as a fallout sequel. As I've already said, I have no right to judge the game in that context. But an 'objective' review of Fallout 3 as a game requires, in my opinion, starting from a clean slate. It boils down to this...

1)Frankly, that runs parallel to the voice-acting argument - why do it if it's going to be half-baked? Open-world games the likes of Fallout 3 are really just gaining momentum now that the technology is there - I'm sorry, but the original Source engine (for example) would not have done much of...
