Now I feel inclined to make a first-person jRPG about a spike-haired strong woman who is chosen to wield the sacred sword of whatever and defeat the ancient evil god. It will be linear as shit and riddled with those yes/yes choices. Do these people really design games for a living yet can't...

Myself, I won't buy Failout even if people magically managed to turn it into a tb/iso game with good writing, quests and more than a couple of choices that actually have consequences instead of the Bioware-y crap we got. I refuse to reward Bethesda for their half-assed attempt at a RPG and even...

Sure, why wouldn't he? Like I said, Snyder does capture visuals well, so Gibbons' work is mostly being done justice (can't for the life of me figure out some of the changes in costumes, though). The part by Moore, however, doesn't look like it so much. I'm kinda opposed to adaptations as a...

I think the comparison to Bethesda and Fallout 3 is a more than apt one. First off, because there is no need whatsoever to turn it into a movie, just like there wasn't to making Fallout 3 FP and RT - it is as much a product of a creatively bankrupt industry as our beloved sequel. Exactly like...

I actually think just listing these things as if they were on the same level of idiocy is letting Beth off the hook pretty easy. Considering how much stupid shit is a part of the main quest in Fallout 3, with whole locations dedicated to vampire wannabes and superheroes, as opposed to retarded...

Okay, so I guess a more thorough comparison is in order. I'll attempt to list everything from both Fallout 2 and 3 that deviates from the original's setting/feel, easter eggs excluded (and by that I mean unobtrusive, non-canon stuff, not things you can wish away by LARPing). Some spoilers there...

Consensus Town any better? Honestly, this is exactly the same reception Oblivion had, down to the last sycophantic, gushing review. It was still a piece of shit game.

Equally as flawed? Not by a longshot. Fallout 2 screwed up the setting on quite a bit of instances, but then again it not only maintained the core gameplay of the original but built a whole lot upon it. More branching quests, some spanning several locations, vastly improved interface and...

First off this argument of yours has nothing to do with money or sales, it is just a rehash of ye olde "technological constraints", so I don't see why bring up target audience here. Or do you believe it is both the most popular and the sole direction the evolution of gaming can turn to? Also...

Oh ye of little faith. The CAD rule always comes through.

Tim Buckley is such a talentless hack, always copy-pasting art and unfunny jokes in the exact same old layout, and still manages to get bucketloads of money out of his terrible product. He's like the Bethesda of webcomics.

There's a whole lot of sarcasm detectors broken in this thread. You guys realize Per was messing around there? Still, it's always a bitch to realize how little the gaming industry has progressed with regard to censorship. This reminds me of Bionic Commando turning nazis into Badds, only we...

I might agree there, if we were talking about Super Mario or just a roguelike. Seeing as Fallout 3 is supposed to be a RPG where interaction with NPCs through dialogue and shaping the story through your choices comprises a huge part of the gameplay (or even its entirety, depending on how one...

The problem with this so-called "review" from the Codex is that it's nothing more than thinly-veiled trolling, as confirmed by the author himself. Why on Earth would this go on the front page this far after the April 1st is beyond me. Haha, awesome. Can't wait for the whole thing.

Yeah, this thing was truly pathetic, it baffles me that they would actually put it in their front page. There's still that review from Vince coming up sometime soon though, I expect it to be worlds better than this atrocity. I mean, come on; Except it wasn't called Wasteland 2. Maybe there's...

I understand Vince trying to judge the game by itself - from a developer's perspective it's the only thing that makes sense, seeing what works or doesn't in a closed system of sorts - but what bothers me about the "don't compare it to previous games" tripe is that Bethesda themselves decided to...

If you read the original thread, you'll find that he in fact dwells a bit too much on how it should not be judged as a Fallout game - which I personally think is an act of unbelievable kindness towards a game that calls itself, was marketed all the way and poses as a sequel to the originals - so...

True, except that in the originals there was a pretty detailed account of what happened to each location as a result of your actions, fully voiced. Failout here, on the other hand, seems to have only one extra sequence showing a couple of slides with no voice-overs that sum up what you did...

Yes and no. People have been reporting that a couple of extra slides (in addition to the 5 from the main quest, two of which never change btw) might show up due to side-quests (I think the fate of Megaton is one of these), but as far as I know these are just some still frames without any...

I'd say you picked the best out of that portuguese preview, it's not much in-depth overall. I'll retranslate it and a bit more. *Can't understand what he means here, I think it's a joke. Not a funny one, though, so no loss. The Cons bit is awesome, though: "Purists may find it lacking in...
