Game News News Flash: Fallout 3 is a Shooter

[Ismaul]

I also like, at the end of the 3rd video, that he shoots the ghoul in the face and blood flies from his foot.

Everything is connected, yo.

 

[The Lawnmower]

Some of those animations look so dodgey.

Particularly in the beginning of the second video where the guys are running.

Matt Peckham, eh?

As matt has these epiphanies, imagine how hard it is for him to talk with todd's little dick in his mouth.

It's a good thing he can type!

The Brotherhood of Steel could use a little more than just assault rifles if you ask me. They had miniguns and stuff they sure as hell weren't afraid to use in Fallout 1. Also, wtf with the reloading time on the fatman?

This game could use an inventory weight system. Oh well, not like I'm getting this game anyway.

.... and a nice little <a href="http://tech.msn.com/products/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=10952515&imageindex=9" target="blank">nugget</a> from Matt Peckham letting us know that the first two Fallouts were overrated.

So what he's saying is that the first 2 were overrated and Bethesda did "a bang-up job" of capturing the spirit of the originals... which is what, being overrated?

As for the game, well, I'm still on the fence. It doesn't look like it would live up to the originals in the RPG department, but it might make a decent rpg/shooter hybrid as long they don't bring back the level-scaling of oblivion and have slavers in power armor demanding 150 gold to pass when you hit the higher levels.

I'd totally hit that chick interviewing Todd, if she supported American Hare.

Chick giving lame questions, but Todd is really good. Uh, I said that.
edit: This is the codex. So:
Stupid Todd. Stupid questions. Stupid shooter game.

Fallout 1 and 2 are overrated anyway. It justifies for bethsoft to make 3rd installment shitty.

I'd totally hit that chick interviewing Todd, if she supported American Hare.

I think if you hit her, you might get charged with assault and battery. I would be more tempted to have sex with her. Especially if she stopped talking.

 

[Rosh]

(note how he fires the nuclear catapult about 15 feet from the target)

No fucking way...

I thought that was a testing item to show off some effects in the press demo.

But to be seriously added into the game? Wow.

It's interesting to note that the speech system that inspired a new standard, along with much more regarding choice and consequences and CRPG design that inspired many other developers, is overrated.

At least it has shiny pictures for that retard to believe an Oblivion clone perfectly captures the essence of the first two games.
