No matter what arguments you can bring for/against Fallout 3 you can't say it's a replayable game, how the fuck is the F4 trailer boosting sales for F3 so much i don''t fucking get it how are people this dumb.

Once more only less incomprehensible this time, please.

 

[Akratus]

Woah, his post was so hard to decipher! What did he say, something about Fallout? Ouch my brain! This must be what a Fallout 4 pre-ordering fan feels like!

 

[Gnidrologist]

Goddamn, from 7 to 53 pages in phase of few days? What happened?

Generally people purchasing a game are playing said game for first time not replaying it (old games being re-released excluded of course).

At first I thought we make fun about Fallout and Bethesda, but I think most people on this thread are really fanboys.

Makabb...

Besides War, there's another thing that never changes.

I'm a fanboy of fallout 1 and 2 and not of bethesda. Fallout 4 is the closest that we get to fallout today.


It has SPECIAL
it has power armor
it has leveling up
it has perks

It's Fallout !

 

[naossano]

You forgot to mention Nuka Cola ? Is it there or is it decline ?

 

[Makabb]

It's there.

 

[Shin]

Reminds me of this classic

It's a radioactive wasteland, man. You can never be sure!

I've seen that movie a hundred times and yet this is the first time I've noticed the severed head looks like a contemporary David Hasselhoff.

Your argument for why single-character turn-based can work is...pointing towards a turn-based game where you control a party?

No. The issue was positioning in a turn-based game. My answer is pointing to mechanics that make positioning relevant

Nothing you said addresses any of the issues of single-character turn-based games. I would argue that positioning is less of an element when all the enemies on the battle field have the exact same target.

This can be solved by adding new game mechanics to an already decent system. Case in point - "Boolean" behavior for the player. Instead of positioning and firing/overwatching you position the character and then set behaviors for different scenarios during the enemy turn (bad guy I see stays at current position - fire single shot. Bad guy tries to rush - fire burst). This actually goes really well with special, in that a certain stat or combination of stats could govern, say, the number of scenarios you are allowed to punch in. This seems to me like the natural evolution of a single character turn based combat system, and yet was never even attempted

A buddy of mine gifted me all the rest of the New Vegas DLC for free and I still never got around to playing it.

Damn, I wanted to start with "you should try", but then I remembered how much enjoyment of the other ones relies on personal taste. Okay, here is a breakdown (because I still think they are all worth checking out):

1) Honest Hearts feels like stepping into a Fenimore Cooper novel - at times beautiful and inspiring, at times bland as fuck in how straightforward the tribal purity card is played. A lot of codexers call fo3 a hiking simulator - well this one is just that, but in a good way.

2) Old World Blues is by far my favorite piece of post-bethesder fallout writing, because it doesn't take itself seriously at all. If you read the fallout bible - this is basically the EPA cut from FO2, but with a crazy hat. This is also the most extreme "future as seen from the fifties" - futurama levels. If you like (and know) 50s sci-fi b-movies you shan't miss it

3) Lonesome road is a bit like the Hags Maze from PS:T. It forces you to explore the heavy philosophical relationship between people and symbols, and gets really meta in the "what drives exploration in game worlds" department. Plus this is a piece of the world where a bleak rubble pile of a location is entirely justified, unlike FO3.

So I'd say any of these is worth your time if you are into any of the above.

last reason is the truth

The first two games don't mean anything anymore. Just make them non-canon already, Bethesda.

 

[Nael]

I wonder if the main character's name is something cool, like "Hawke?"

 

[Lemming42]

That comment is one of the most puzzling things I've ever read

Make an entire board for fo4 so I can just ignore all this shit.

More like so you can find all the posts in one place so that you can read it all easier, am I rite?

I know. I keep saying we have the perfect forum for discussing Fallout 4, retardo land.

 

[imweasel]

Gameplay-wise HL2 was a pinnacle of innovation, no arguing here, but visually... sorry, it was barely OK for 2004. Particularly, lighting was total crap so everything looked flat including character models. Now FO3 didn't look like a proper 2008 game (e.g. Crysis Warhead) but it was a solid lightyear ahead of HL2 in terms of gfx tech.

/facepalm
I take it no-one here remembers what FPS gameplay was like before HL2. Well, carry on.

Newfags. Newfags never change.

We should have a vote about moving this thread to retardo land. And then ban anybody who votes "no". ^^

Meanwhile, at Bethesda HQ

"Have you guys seen what the codex has been saying about us? Sniff"

Such a shame that retards have enough money to buy Bethesda's shit.

Eh, gonna have to call you on that. Multiple quest resolutions, open world structure, different character builds. I played through three times from beginning to end and had a completely different experience each time.
