Fair enough. I admit, I got into this before the first 2 Fallouts, so I see it a bit differently from a long time fan, but still. People calling the game terrible because it isn't like the previous games in the series annoys me.GDW said:
Now that I think about it, however, I'm doing the same thing with the Splinter Cell series. In the past, I have actually said that, although Conviction looks fun, it looks horrible as a Splinter Cell game, so I suppose I understand your viewpoint.
You know what? This discussion has inspired me. I'm going to do my best to judge Conviction on its own merit when it comes out, rather than ripping it for abandonment of concept.
yeah because RPG's are'nt borign or anything they pull you in especially when they are turn based I just love that and Fallout 3 is the most unoriginal game I mean about every game is in post apoycolyptic D.C. and Vats, that is in like every game these days, and it never pulls you in what with your bland character and lack of many dramatic choices, and was way more boring and fun killing compared to the other two games (tactics and BoS didnt count) It was so unintresting and poorley written and did NOT skull fuck the other fallout games (sarcasim)GDW said:
He said Wasteland of the Onseis because he is a picky little ***** and was complaining about how in fallout 3 when you put on an outfit it is always a complete outfit shirt, pants, shoes etc. you can't mix it up, even though he should appreciate the very large amount of outfits to choose from compared to most games where the choice does not even exist.
Ok you know how Fallout 3 was about perfect, well just keep that system except with a diffrent place, plot, people, and new weapons, armor and partners along with new decisions as difficult or more so than FO3 and maybe new cretures, make the landscape a little more than just the remains of vegas and desert, have intresting and unique places (my only real complaint about FO3 was the lack of variety.
These two would be great. I initially thought of the nadshot as a joke suggestion, but the more I think about it, the more fun it'd add to the game. And god yes, PLEASE give us the options for clothes/armour...miracleofsound said:
I liked the modified Oblivion engine (can't... Remember... Real... Name...), though. I say we keep that.

I'm not a purist, I actually think the first person view is a good change for the Fallout series. The only real reason the original was isometric were graphical limitations at the time, and frankly the combat was never very good in the original Fallout games. Same wth the visuals, terrible even at the time. Instead the original games compensated by creating a rich world through text and dialogue.miracleofsound said:
The new game however is a complete 360 from the originals. Where the old Fallout games focused on dialogue to cover mediocre gameplay and graphics, the new one focused on visuals and gameplay to cover up the mediocre at best dialogue and a bland world.
That's what I'm trying to get at here. And me? I'll take the originals approach over the new ones anyday. But Obsidian are being given a chance to create a new Fallout with the improvements of Bethesda's game but, you know, with decent writers. Bethesda really needs to hire a couple of those themselves.
That would have made more sense if you actually quoted the bit where I suggested she was trolling.pantsoffdanceoff said:
Everyone's a comedian tonight...
Somewhere amidst that vast, gloriously mis-spelt, unitelligable wall of something resembling a bastardised version of the English language I noticed you called me a 'picky little *****'.humanizer said:
Just wanted to say thanks for the compliment.
Yahtzee? What's that? Is that like a Onesie?hannarr said:
Seriously though... we've gone on long enough now. I am retiring from our (admittedly fun) mud throwing match for fear of ruining the thread.
True but I think this thread is starting to go off track. we moved from Fallout 3 to my poor atempts at grammer on the internet. How about In New Vegas they let you make traps and improvemnt on peoples movement, as fun as Fallout 3 is I can never shake this feeling that everything is very slow, and rough, if they could make character movement fluid and natural it would help a great deal.G1eet said:
On that note, I hope next year it's Crysis 2... Hope it's out by then...miracleofsound said:
Fallout rocks, though. Gotta keep it related...
Well, huh, I think you were trying to make a point that had nothing to do with what I was saying, aside from the obvious "SKULL FUCK" remark and to that I say that you completely mistook what I was saying. I defend "Fallout 3" as a good game, I enjoy it, do I find it anywhere near as fun or immersive? No. Because, even without turn-based combat and nearly completely text-based dialouge it still failed to make me feel like anything I did mattered. Okay. I blew up Megaton. Whoopity shit.humanizer said:
The focus of the "Fallout" series was that everything was effected by your choices and your stats, neither seem to have much bearing on how this entry was played. Beleive it or not, that's what I FUCKING WANTED! If I wanted to play "Oblivion" again, that's what I would have done.
I never once retorted that "Fallout 3" was a rip-off of anything, but, if we're going to get technical, a million and one games are set in "post-apocalyptic" comewhere or another and, believe it or not, the VATS system has been in every "Fallout", all it did was turn your happy action-heavy gameplay into nothing more than the same turn-based combat you're bitching about. It's all numbers and, OMG, guess what an RPG is?
"Fallout 3" is sloppy. It isn't a great action game because it sacrifices too many action qualities for RPG perks and vice-versa. On top of that, they sacrificed qualities that the "Fallout" series is known for, effectualy making it less of a "Fallout" game altogether. Some of us have fun exploring, meeting characters who are actually interesting, facing some actual difficulty and playing through a story that is actually affected by our deciscions. That may not be you, Micheal Bay, but some of us enjoy that. So some of us found it a sore disappointment. Some of us like a good game and don't need action to keep us playing.
Your character WAS boring. The story WAS boring (and unoriginal). The characters WERE poorly written.
Eat your sarcasm, honkey.
