I just started a Fallout 1 game, with a totally brain-dead character. In the first 5 minutes, 5 MINUTES of playing I had laughed more and enjoyed the responses of the bemused residents of Shady Sands than throughout the entire game of Fallout 3! When one resident complained that his sleep was...

Hmm back in 1997, 1998 I don't recall too many CD burners. Shit, the first burner I had cost $500 AU in 2000 so if there were any around earlier their cost would have been prohibitive for piracy! Doubt that lack of DRM hurt sales beck then. Interplay has always sucked at marketing. God knows how...

I actually thought of The Witcher and the Druid Grove in the Swamps, the same 'oasis of calm in an inhospitable place' as this. To then have a great character from F2 turn up here and be tortured by Bethesda just so they could claim 'continuity' and 'being true to the series' was too fucking far.

ceacar99 gets it correct. The fact that no decision you make save for the final one has any real impact on the world is probably for me the biggest flaw of all. Ok, so it sucks as a Fallout game, I hate how they tried to curry favour with old fans by illogically having Harold show up in DC...

You are a foolish child quant, the 'ghoul' in Fallout 3 is just a burns victim, not some human that was so irradiated that is basically a skeleton with some skin hanging off it!

ceacar99 wrote "and yes, diablo is an rpg. just because there wasnt much option for "roleplay" with other characters doesnt mean you didnt play the role of a champion bad ass that killed every nasty thing in sight." So that means that Doom(insert FPS here) is an RPG as well as you play a...

Ausdoerrt, I haven't played TOEE all the way yet, will have to now just to see.

Quant, I don't see your point. Diablo is a click fest , an 'arcade shooter' if you like. I could give you figures that show Space Invaders sold more copies than Diablo but that doesn't mean that it's a better RPG than Fallout!

Fuck, Will Ferrell humour? I know the 'humour' of Fallout 3 is bad, but that bad?

Well there are enough negative reviews of the fucking travesty that is Fallout 3 right here, and unlike the moronic fanbots everywhere else, people here tend to critique the games' shortcomings as a game on its own merits regardless of whether it is a Fallout game or not.

Beat me to it Grimhound! I'd say they bribed more reviewers as well. I can remember many crap reviews from idiot cunts back in the day for Fallout 1 and 2. Here we get nary a critical remark, just like with Oblivion. Shit, ok they never played the first ones(maybe) but even as a RPG in it's own...

I'd like them to change the name to something else. Better to treat it as something else than be reminded how Fallout was destroyed. Thank fuck that Planescape Torment ended there and then as no doubt Bethesda would have made it a shooter with one line dialogues.

'A genuine, worthy sequel'! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! The funniest thing I've heard in years!

Wrong popej, Fallout 3 will be forgotten in a year when Fallout 4 will come out and the modders all turn to it. That's how it will be and a good thing too, as Fallout 3 deserves to be buried and forgotten.

Of all the crimes, the fact that what you do in the wastes has ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING on the endings makes it pretty pointless to debate. This was for me the BIGGEST thing about Fallout games, that only the Witcher to a much smaller degree followed: namely that your actions throughout the game...

Fallout 1/2 had better writing because of the depth of the characterisations and humour at times. The arrogant, classist, racist bitch in charge of Vault City really sounds like an arrogant,classist , racist bitch, no matter how hard you try to convince her to be 'nice'. YOu really feel like...

Thanks for your post, funny yet also extremely sadly true! I tried liking Fallout 3 just as a post-apocalyptic RPG if not a Fallout game, but the more I think about how it is, the more it sucks the balls of a dead maggot! Great that you had the patience to write this and know that there are...

as a fanatical fan of the first two Fallouts, and having been exposed to the travesty (as a Fallout game) of Bethesda's mutant child, I just have to get somethings off my chest as therapy at least if nothing else! 1. Where the hell is the self parody, the humour? THIS MADE THOSE GAMES...
