Fallout 3
polycounter lvl 18
I love fallout, don't you?
Here's to bethesda for buying the franchise and doing what they can to make a good game out of it (remains to be seen, but i'm hopeful) , even with the limitations of ESRB as compared with back when fallout and fallout 2 were made.
Sure, if whoring my character out for money, and stray bullets nailing a child in the face, and some other such things get taken out well then...
I'll be saddened, but i'll continue on, so long as the game is good, amirite?
Apparently, hardly anyone on the actual Fallout 3 forums seems to think that bethesda is capapble of making a fallout game.
Or any good game.
Seriously, read some of this;

I'm not worried about the ESRB ruining anything. As long as the game doesn't have any fully clothed interactive petting mini-games, it'll get a Mature rating and be sellable in stores.
i agree with him wholeheartedly. fallout 3 is probably going to be a lot of fun, with the same kind of lumpiness we know to expect with Bethesda. but if the mod community embraces it to anywhere near the degree they did Oblivion, then we'll see some very dedicated fan-made patches to get the game into a shape maybe more similar to the first two games (with the obligatory cosmetic tweaks, of course
I really like how oblivion was, and would be perfectly content if it was just a sci fi oblivion with guns. Realistically speaking, it better be more than that, but we have yet to have something quite like that. I think the closest would be STALKER from what I heard of it
thing
And i couldn't get into the first one for some reason, and the second one took a while but was great fun, although it died for me near the end, as I became very very bored with the combat, and eventually just gave up
Ok enough crying... I hope Bethesda makes a great game, I hope they keep some core stuff from the 2 previous games like the dark comedy, setting/atmospheric feel. Fun
Ok but wtf is up with eh guy in the armour? Brothers of Steel has one armour design that they are using already, such important details they cant change right so I hope they got a good explanation for that one

huh?
As far as Fallout 3 goes, i think art will be nothing to complain about, i'm fairly certain that bethesda's art team is better than what interplay had going on back in 1996, but i do believe that while the first 2 games were more reflections of their creators' personalities at the time, the third one will be a product for sale. And thats not bad, its just different, i'm sure the guys at Bethesda like fallout and they are thinking hey we really like this, lets make it really cool and appealing to others, and i'm sure they'll succeed at least to some extent, but it is impossible to capture the atmosphere of the first 2 games, no matter who does it.
Why such resistance to change? You guys are talking about a sequel being made for a game that's nearly 10 years old and complaining that stuff's different? Come on now.
This is a new era with a new dev taking on the project. Let them do their thing. When I see first person body part selective combat in a post apocalyptic wasteland chalk full of post WWII advertising style cartoon guys selling nuclear weapons I don't say 'well golly, that there is a casual game.'
Did you like Bioshock? Remember how that one simultaneously pleased the hardcore fans with it's awesome setting and gameplay and also expanded the palette for what Joe Walmart is willing to try? You know that's a good thing right?
More revenue generated from games is a good thing for everyone across the board. It's good for gaming. I don't care how many crotchety old duffs are bitching over at NMA- there's not enough of them to make a AAA title go multi platinum, so making a niche little pc game to please them only works if your budget is tiny.
Personally, I'm loving that Fallout is coming out full force to the rest of the world. Most folks playing it will be playing a Fallout for the first time and that is awesome.
It's a shame, because I really liked Fallout's universe. Not saying that the original games were all that great, but I'm just a sucker for retrofuturism.
Ok so the helmet looks similar but why change it at all, and Im just saying i dont like the armour designs, the helmet is good but not the rest of the body its bad in my opinion. Honestly i dont care much about that, I just hope the game is great and nothing is telling me that its not
I hope they don't make stupid mistakes like giving every robber and thug uber powerarmor after you get to a certain level...
