Preview Fallout 3 preview at HookedGamers

[Texas Red]

FOblivion it is. Also, Uwe Boll would have a bright future in the next gen biz. A farmer trying to stop an evil sorcerer and save his fuckbuddy is only slightly less original than an order of do-gooders lead by a fierce, determined woman in power armor bikini.

Isn't this what the Codex is always demanding? I guess it remains to be seen but at least they are talking about C&C. You'd be hard pressed to find even one mention of that in any of the Oblivion preivews on the entire internet. Apart from that the article is filled with the standard diatripe we've come to expect.

Look at it this way. Fallout fans have been demanding Fallout 3 for nearly a decade now. Do they really want Bethesda's take on Fallout 3? Same applies for choices and consequences. We demand them, but don't want Bethesda's version of them.

Why does every single preview I've read insist on calling it "part turn-based" or "semi turn-based". Why can't they just call it real time with pause like it is? Is it because real time with pause isn't innovative sounding enough?

Because they're reassuring Fallout fans that the game has what they want. And in no way is that reassurance a cynical marketing ploy from Bethesda. In part there's probably also a mindset raised on Bioware games that truly believes anything that isn't 100% real time is turn based in some way, because "turn-based" is a negative buzzword, just like "epic" is a positive one. Note how this guy actually uses "epic" completely out of context to describe gameplay of all things.

There's really nothing to say. This is practically identical to the previews we were getting over 6 months ago. It's about as poignant as the jokes in Meet the Spartans.

The only reason I posted it is that these guys took the trouble to e-mail me* about it.

*: SaintP, but I took his mail address in order to claim the .com domain.

Haha. Oh boy.

Now the Codex offers news on demand? Awesome! But if these loonys want to be ridiculed, go for it.

‘Capital Waste’

Yeah, FO3 will be a capital waste of time and money...

1. What do you think of child killing in fallout past games and what porpose it had (in you opinion) in those games?

[Ricardo Gonzalez] 1. To be honest, I never tried it out. Slaver-killing, check. Mutie-killing, check. Never crossed-off child-killing with any of my characters; even my bad-ass ones just ignored them, or at worst, stole back whatever those urchins in The Den stole from me. What do I think the purpose of killing a child was? Hmm..depends on why you did it, I guess.

This is so pathetic.

I would like to clarify that I, or anyone employed by Bethesda, has never tried killing children, taking drugs or have intimate contact in the Fallout games. Thank you.

Critically hitting a child in the groin with a sledgehammer is one my fondest memories of Fallout.

I have those fond memories of Dwarf Fortress. Like the time I smacked a goblin child in the head with a mace - so hard I knocked him out of his shoes and splattered him on the wall behind him. His parents just writhed, bled and vomited in response.

Thanks for the sig.
