Okay. So, I know there's some, uh... Conflicting emotions regarding Beth's upcoming release. A friend just recommended I check out some of the recent footage. Now, I am, and always will be a fan of the originals. The new one looks completely different. I have to admit, however, that I'm totally stoked for it. It looks unfathomably incredible.

I'm curious to see if opinions have settled since a couple months ago.. Anyone?

Well, I'm an Elder Scrolls fan who's never played the original Fallout games, so I'm really looking forward to it.

I love Fallout and Fallout 2 (hell, I even love Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel), but this just won't be a great Fallout game. It will, however, be a great game. I'll be buying it.

When i first heard of it I thought it might suffer from hit percentages like morrowind did, but it looks like it plays similarily to mass effect where your stats affect your general accuracy rather than having hit percentages. Anyway I've never played the earlier fallout games so I'm excited.

I too am excited for Fallout 3. I came to the Fallout party fairly late, not being much of a PC gamer back when the original games were released, but managed to grab them on a compilation I discovered while browsing the titles at my local GAME store.

Funnily enough, I've going to echo the first post I ever made at the Escapist and say that, while I enjoyed Oblivion, I hope Bethesda have ironed out some of its more glaring flaws. From what I've read though, it seems that they have.

You just know the game will get a 90+ metascore, sell millions within a few months. Yet fallout fans will be bitching on the forms for years about how the game is horrible and dumbed down much the way they complain about oblivion

I did like Oblivion what could be wrong with adding guns and explosions?
P.S I'm worried about the pause attacks and lack of NPCS so I'm only renting.

Grrrr.... That's the only thing I'm really worried about with Fallout 3. All of these "non-fallout" gamers that want to play Oblivion with guns will try out the original Fallout games, to see if they like them as much as they liked the third. This type of player probably won't, and will say that the original games were awful.

I mean, I kind of liked Oblivion as well, but I *really* don't want an Oblivion with guns. I want Fallout.

I'm actually just now playing the original Fallout, what with all the attention Fallout 3 is getting.

I'm not sure what to think about it yet. It's one of those games that probably would have blown my mind if I'd played it a few years ago.

This game is straying pretty far from the original fallout, I reccomend everyone playing fallout 2 before fallout 3, as if you don't it will be like playing morrowind after you played oblivion.

I will slowly torture all members of Bethesda if my baby isn't PERFECT. And by perfect I mean fun.

I want Fallout 3 so bad. I don't usually get games when they first come out, I wait for the price to come down. In this case I may just make an exception.

I am by and large a huge fan of the original Fallouts, and contrary to the nerdcore idiots who rampage around some of my previously favored gaming discussion spots, I do believe that we can trust Bethesda on this one. They realize their mistakes with Oblivion, which they are trying very hard to fix, they all love the originals, which ensures the game its sense of humor, and, lastly, the biggest complaint from early previewers is that it TRIES TOO HARD to be like the originals and doesn't capitalize on the "Oblivion with Guns" aspect. Personally, I don't see where Bethesda is going wrong with this.

I'm sitting on the sidelines with this one. I love Fallout and I want to love this, but knowing Bethesda's past games, they don't seem up to it. With that siad I'm still going to buy it and critisise and rant about everyone you can't kill. Seriously. Wayda kill the funs guys!
