The VA and character models are a total step up from Oblivion. No more characters having two different voices, for one!

You know, you could be a little more subtle about pirating the game, man. Just sayin'.

Oh fuck, this game.

In the past hour I've dismembered the body of a woman whose house I broke into, laying her body parts out on the bed so her arms are where her legs were and her legs are where her arms were, massacred more than half of a town in cold blood and now I'm about to go nuke who's ever left in the town which I'm sure is pretty much just the unarmed and a few children.

This game.

Man this game is just going to make me so happy anyway.

But if I could go into a half destroyed Black Cat I would be so happy. SO HAPPY!

Given that Fallout takes place on a timeline that diverges somewhere around the late 40's, and given the logistics of replicating any part of the city exactly, I doubt we'll be seeing any venues. Maybe an arena.

So since the first Fallout is free on GameTap I downloaded their player and got the message "You need a modern memory card with 32 megs of memory to run GameTap".

...

...

That's like telling me I need an SVGA card to play an Infocom game you fuckers.

Guess I'll just have to buy it from GOG.  I'd rather not have to use GT's "player" anyway.

So, did it give you an option to just play anyway? Because that kind of thing happened to me all the time with gametap until recently and the games worked fine anyway.

it worked fine on my computer running Vista.

in Fallout, all the pixels that should have been white ended up being neon green until i changed it to 16 bit color; then it looked fine.

Gametrailers have a mess of gameplay trailers, likely in response to (deleted?) youtube leak vids. Looks like it's mostly combat.

Looks like Fallout 3 includes one of my major FPS pet peeves, which is lack of hit response. Doom had it, shit, Morrowind had it, all FPS and FPS variants should have it. It really sucks to see that the only time a character will act as though they've been hit in combat is when he or she dies.

Biggest issue I have with the people I've seen so far is that everyone seems relatively calm for living in a post-apocalyptic nightmare hellscape. I want to see the guy with the thousand-yard stare that just sits on a pole muttering "ghouls... ghouls... don't eat my baby..." while cradling a laser rifle and occasionally shooting at rabbits and shit.

To be fair, people didn't really act that much differently in Oblivion when Big Things were ostensibly happening. They didn't even seem mildly concerned. They seemed slightly bemused, like instead of their emperor getting murdered and the forces of Hell charging through another dimension and demolishing cities, their daughter got her ears pierced.

The one reaction in Oblivion I loved is when you would meet up with that guard captain (I can't remember his name) at the Kvatch barricade for the first time and ask him about Kvatch. that "My home! My GOD DAMNED HOME!" speech just has some good emotion in it. He sounds enraged and frustrated.

Well technically "Fucking" in this syntax would be an adjective, being used to describe the noun "Dicks"...

but regardless of lit-fu... they're still a pack of galloping cockjockeys.

I haven't read the thread up till now because I'd never played any fallout game and Fallout 3 didn't really mean anything to me. But I decided to check out the hype and got Fallout. Number one. And it's fun. Ohmygod is so much fucking fun. It's the best I've played this year (maybe except BGII. Which was made and published by the same studios that made and published Fallout). And since Bethesda is made out of own and Fallout is made out of win, I'm starting to get eager to play this game. But for now, I'll go bash in skulls with my super sledge.

I've been replaying the original too.

However, I am not convinced that Fallout 3 will actually be more fun than 1 or 2.  There's pretty much no part of 1 or 2 that isn't "fun", and Morrowind/Oblivion were packed with endless stretches of "I just know there's something fun to do around here SOMEWHERE".

Actually, I like the IDEA behind that, but I thought the actual execution was horrid.

If you're going to do a sandbox game, be like GTA4 and have there always be something interesting you can notice or do while just randomly wandering around.

I also spend lots of time doing whatever the fuck I please in open-world games.  It's not just you.  The execution, from where I see it, was just fine, otherwise I wouldn't have played it so goddamn much.  I can see where other people would disagree, but their quibbles are just non-issues for me.

I mean, I acknowledge that it has lots of faults, but somehow they don't seem important to me.  It's not like liking Korn, though....I would say more like Muse or Daft Punk, a band that is pretty divisive.  Radiohead, maybe?

I think it's because when I play, I don't care about how you can break the system because I'm roleplaying.  It's hard to explain.  I just get into this state where I feel I'm playing the game the designers wanted me to play and I enjoy the fuck out of it.  Happened with Too Human, and several others.

I could get no enjoyment out of vanilla Oblivion at all. Everything from the boring as hell copy pasted dungeons to the shitty models to the terrible dialogue and voice acting was just shit to me. That made immersion pretty much impossible for me

Then, to top it off, the level scaling pretty much ruined the gameplay aspect of it for me. It was seriously the OoO mod that saved the game for me and even with it that it had some glaring issues.

I dunno, maybe I just got stoned once and it all clicked in place.  Like, the first time I played, I regretted the repetitious dungeons.  But now, I look forward to them, not because of their architecture, but what I might find in them.  Also, some of them are pretty cool even if there's a lot of copy-pasting (although I really wouldn't call it that, they just use a similar style of interior decor a lot, the actual layouts are different).  I jumped to the top of an Ayleid ruin once and found a single gold coin, which I thought was the neatest thing.  Well, whatever.  I just picked up Fallout 3 and need to make a character and then go to bed.

Gerstmann gives it 4/5, despite not making the game sound particularly good ("VATS...turned combat into more of a chore than any sort of exciting gameplay element", "The game does a good job of making you feel like your dialogue choices are meaningful, even if they're just different tones of voice that ultimately lead to the same conclusion.")

I like Gerstmann, generally, but with games like this, and Oblivion, and every Lionhead game ever made, I think a good 2 weeks should be put into the game before a verdict is rendered, and from the sound of it 2 weeks would drop the 4 to a 3 or even a 2.

Video game reviewers don't have the luxury of playing a game for an ample amount of time to get the right feel. Unlike movies or music, it can take a game 30 or 40 hours to really come into its own. This symptom is particularly obvious with weekly reviews like Zero Punctuation, where it's absolutely necessary to understand the core aspects of the game within a handful of hours of play-time. Since review popularity is based almost exclusively on the speed at which it's printed, reviewers are certainly more prone than the average gamer to speedrun a game and get a poorly-worded review out the door.

Oh, and is this Gerstmann's new site? I haven't seen anything from him since that little fiasco.

Fuck youuu console gamers, I got the best one!

PPS: I FUCKIN' HATE STEAM. Just found out that Fallout 3 will unlock at 10AM PST. When I'm at work. I will arrive home at 6PM, and click the download button. At 4 in the morning of the 29th, I will play this game.

I did the starting area, got out of the vault, and had to go to bed because I had work in 6.5 hours.  It is a pretty strong start, a lot less annoying than the dungeon in Oblivion (see, I really do think Oblivion has problems!), even if it's a little long.  It's only a little long because I refused to skip through any dialogue or movies, you can rush through it in about 30 minutes if you want.  The 'K-Mart framed' dialogue is still K-Mart framed (look, another problem!), but the facial animation and voices of the characters are noticeably better.  Not Mass Effect, mind you, but they're not as bad as Oblivion's.  When you finally do leave the vault and get out into the open air, it's pretty amazing.
