Fallout 3

Quote from Minotauro

never finished it before

!!!!!!!

not only is that article brilliant, the whole site is! first time i've actually seen comments that are WORTH READING in the sense that you can actually learn to see things from another perspective. it might just be me with my interest in psychology and how it works in games, but i think that developers owe themselves to look inside a game from a psychological perspective; in this case how players immerse themselves in the world of fallout.

It's pretty amazing that your normal average gamer can turn into one of the 11 angry guys on a webpage within weeks. I guess this just proves that most people who think Fo3 kicks ass didn't get past the "figure out your controls and stuff" in Fo1\2

Installed and started my first game of Fallout myself. So far so good.

Wow. That's damn encouraging.

a bit off topic, what do you hardcore fallout guys think about fallout tactics?

having played the game myself, i'd consider it the third fallout as it were, even with its missing rpg elements.

Bethesda has once again delivered a game of life-affirming brilliance that will be heralded as a classic, and talked about for years to come.10/10

Pretty sick reviews, how on earth will I get through Far Cry 2 and Fable 2 before Thursday? D:

I'm doomed!

Cant wait! I know it wont be as good as the previous titles but its a totally different game set in the same universe.

I wont be able to play it until january though, that's when I'll ship my pc to my new home

I guess It's another proof that graphics don't make a game, gameplay does!

But I totally agree that the gfx aint exactly crysis.

Most people do not like it, atleast not the guys at NMA. Why? RPG elements.. The SPECIAL is useless in Tactics really, all you need to focus on is big guns, energy weapons etc., and make 1 dude a medic. Also, story doesn't make any sense and is "wrong" compared to 1 and 2.

Personally, I like it, since I like post apoc stuff and I like squad tactics games, even though I play it without the turn based feature, since that one is pretty bad. Also, there is no stuff to do after you have free'd towns or whatever...

As for the reviews, I agree with peris. A game cannot get 10/10 with crappy graphics, that simply should be impossible.

Who doesn't like a mini tactical nuke? ME.

But I'll try the game, make 1 ultra smart, good looking dude and 1 ultra dumb ass ugly mofo dude, if there aren't any severe changes in the dialogue, this is a throw-away as a Fallout 3.

If you hate Oblivion, I guess F3 is not for you Peris.

Anyways, here's the metacritic, it currently stands at 93.

Minor niggles aside, Fallout 3 is almost entirely spectacular. Everything from the graphics, to the sound, to the plot is first-rate.

Heh. I bet he was paid. The graphics? Come on.

different blokes different strokes. just because you don't like it doesn't mean anybody else can't.
