I totally agree, I thought this was just downright awful. I actually somewhat enjoyed the first live action video (E3 trailer), but this just had no point. This seemed like a total waste of time, money, and energy that could have been spent making the game better which, by many accounts, it may...

Yeah, they're very serious journalists... :roll:

I'll agree with the sentiment that I personally have been pretty negative towards Bethesda and their treatment of Fallout, but I'm still going to play the game regardless. If it's good I'll happily admit that I enjoyed it, but I'm extremely cautious when it comes to Bethesda and their ability to...

The new screenshots show a bit more promise to this game, even though I think the dialog is pretty threadbare, I still hope they get a few of the remaining key elements right. I'm still not hopeful in the least and I certainly wouldn't be so daft as to say that I don't think this is just a...

Yeah get it right, people. They re-textured OBLIVION, changed a few lines of dialogue, and are releasing a new game.

They made Oblivion... :P

The premise is pretty clear to me. He's simply saying that Bethesda is straying too far from the established Fallout lore and level of realism (or unrealism if you will) to even be worth justifying the changes. It matters not that Fallout 1 was unrealistic in any form or fashion. What...

Umm...I seriously doubt that. Of course, adding mud shouldn't be very difficult. It was done in the Metal Gear games and it's a fairly simple texturing method, but I doubt anyone would nitpick them on that. I think the idea of a radio blaring out in the middle of a wasteland is pretty stupid...

10 different shades of bright sunlight maybe? I sort of hope they have overcast or high-wind dust storms. The weather in Morrowind was really well done in that regard, so maybe they'll get that right. Of course not having rain is pretty stupid. I know they want to convey a sense of not having...

Whoa, did they actually add in weather effects? Did they actually fix a design mistake? Consider me impressed :clap:

A snippet from the Five Reasons to Love Fallout 3 piece: That's the biggest "WTF!?" I've read in a while. And another: Ugh... Yes, because I don't like my first-person shooters to pause repeatedly every 2 seconds only to be given another 5 second video of my bullet slowly blowing...

Ahh, yes. Thanks for the thorough explanation there. How could I have missed THAT?

Umm...nope :? You said you'll just overlook the inconsistencies in Fallout 3 and basically deny their existence to further your enjoyment of the game, or did I miss some kind of brilliant point?

That's a great philosophy. Next time I play Oblivion I'm just going to repeat to myself "This is a fun and memorable experience and all that stupid AI, clunky interfacing, generic architecture, and poor implementation of RPG elements does not exist." Denial is the new immersion. This is...

I think he was talking about not seeing that architecture style in FO3. Also, I don't have anything against having greasers in the game, but it's all in the execution and how well it translates in the Fallout universe, which I don't see Bethesda doing very well.

That's what I'm hoping for as well. Even if I can't stand what they've done to the combat system all can be redeemed if there is a great story to be experienced. Am I confident that Bethesda can deliver? No, but I do still have some glimmer of hope left that they'll surprise me and surpass my...

I try not to get my hopes up anymore.

I cringe just thinking about it :? :?

Hence the total overhaul! But on a serious note, I don't think Atari would even bother using the license unless it's to make another Dark Alliance-type game.

What Bethesda is doing with regards to the main story is about the only thing I can commend them on with their previews. Unless the main story is so absolutely thin that there is nothing more to be said about it, I'm glad that they're keeping that aspect under wraps. Even if I hate the combat...
