Preview GamePlayer's 101 facts about Fallout 3

[Truth]

Best system for moding weapons is the one used in JA2.

Deus Ex was good too, attribute-wise (scope/no scope, silencer, reload time, base accuracy, effective range, magazine size). Implementation was a little meh (like spamming copies of tools to open a door).

Heh, another use for carrying all those picks and multi-tools around.

Nano-machines. Piracy is theft because nano-machines are being removed from inventory. Or something.

Nanomachines did it.

I have yet to play this, but it's on my list.

You can use a teddy bear as ammo to kill someone?

That's wicked fucking stupid.

If you're going to use a teddy bear as a weapon, you'd suffocate someone.

So are they gonna have, radioactive, mutant mud crabs? Or... perhaps using them as ammo with an improvised sling shot, or with whatever weapon fires the bobble heads? Is it true, the bobble heads are gonna be "Barbie" heads? That last question is serious, more or less. I thought I read somewhere, it was Barbie heads, not bobble heads, guess I need to start increasing the text size

Yea well, this is really too bad, a terrible shame, but all the leaks about the game prior to this, means this comes as no surprise.

Radcrabs.

Horrible creatures.

 

[Darth Roxor]

I try to avoid them as much as possible.

Barbie doll heads can be used as ammo. Bobble heads are the collectible stat-boosting items.

There are mini-games to enjoy, like lock-picking, and tuning in you Pip-boy to find radio signals which may give you directions to quests and survivors.

Is there a person in the world that enjoys such mini-games? I mean really?

Sure there is... There are even whole gaming machines just for that! Here is one!

:wink:

We love a good ‘wow!’ moment in a video game. A truly astounding instant, choreographed to perfection, that makes you truly sit back and go ‘Fuck Me!’ To be so stunned your thumbs freeze while your eyes open in wonder. Some examples? The first time you walk out from the ruins in Far Cry and gaze upon the tropical paradise that is set to be your playground. The nuclear explosion in Call of Duty 4. In God of War when you climb the outside of the city walls, walk through the red curtain and peer upon your 20-story tall enemy for the first time. When you first leave the forest in Ocarina of Time and watch the setting sun. Laying your eyes on Rapture in Bioshock as you skim along the ocean floor in the biosphere. Or perhaps most relevant of all, exiting the sewers in Oblivion and walking into the next-generation for the first time.

There aren't enough facepalms in the world.

Aww Hell! I thought I was making a joke about mud crabs *sighs* I had no idea they was for realz. They up and grew legs! This just goes from bad to worse.

Next thing you gonna tell me is there's Betty Boop doll heads to increase cha or something... .... :shock:

Taking out the rpg elements.
Real time combat.
Fighting zombies and cultists.
Tuning in you Pip-boy to find radio signals which may give you directions to quests and survivors.
Exploding cars in to packs of the infected.
Running them down with a lawn mower.
What next hand to hand combo moves?

This isn't fallout this is the next capcom game "Dead Rising: Outside the Mall" thank god I knew these silly journalists had to be making a mixup from the start it didn't sound like fallout at all.

My god, this "next-generation" bullshit is just comical now. It doesn't even seem serious anymore. I read that and for a second I thought the writer was mocking the idea.

Exactly. There was only one such "wow" moment in the entire history of gaming and it was leaving the Vortex Rikers in Unreal. Author should quit being a retard and, in case that's all he can do, self-terminate.

You cannot see your hands in 1st-person view unless you are holding a weapon: the screen is 100% dedicated to the world. It’s a bit weird when your character picks up an object (seemingly) by osmosis.

Osmosis is the next-gen telekinesis.

Win.

Pure win.

Bottom line:
There is still not enough win in this thread, to compensate for an epic fail named Fallout 3.

The difference being that Dead Rising was great fun and a great challenge while Fallout 3 will basically play itself.
