To be fair, Bethesda is still the publisher of the game so they're not completely wrong. Between OE and Bethesda, I think it's pretty clear what name will speak more to people who buy this magazine.

Not sure where to post this, but here goes anyway : Gamekult.com gave it a 6/10 (Operation : Anchorage got a 3/10) Bottom line : much better than Anchorage, but doesn't stray far away from what Fallout 3 was offering in the first place. New dialogues, a decent plot around good and evil but...

GameBanshee's review was an interesting read, and I mostly agree with it. However, I don't understand the final score : 8.4/10. Is this considered average in the US press ?

Honestly, making two 15sec slideshow + narrative per sidequest isn't that huge a work, I think Bethesda got lazy on this one. How many sidequests are there ? 20 ? That's 10 minutes of narrative here, not much considering the hours of recorded voice acting. In the end, it's only a simple...

I remember a polish company named CD Projekt who released not long ago a lot of additional content for their already successful game "The Witcher". New textures, new animations, rewritten dialogue, and two stand alone adventures. All of it for free to people who already purchased the game...

He probably means ''non-free" way to deliver updates or other things. From the start , this whole "Game for Windows Live" thing has been a barely hidden attempt to make PC gamers pay for online content. Out of curiosity, what other game use this engine ?

Well, if Microsoft themselves had to ask Bethesda for a patch to fix the crashes on exit, I don't think it's just a scarce issue. They probably received an alarming amount of reports. What I don't understand is the absence of 0-day patch. Usually developers send the game in production and...

Kotaku is right, the game clearly lacks play testing, and crashes often (on PC at least). Then again, nowadays almost all game are released in what seems to be a beta stage. I had wished the growth of the console market would somehow make this behavior disappear. After all, old console games...

There are 4 super mutants who attack the town shortly after Red gets back and mentions the attack. You usually have time to train the settlers in firearms or repair some robots. If you left early I guess they've been captured/slaughtered. [spoiler:d487e5d095]You don't miss out much though...

Probably some highly efficient Enclave Rad-X/Rad-Away. After all, Rad-X was here before the war, it would make little sense to research new weapons and leave radiation drugs as they are for 200 years.

The real question of this thread is : Who are you trying to convince this game is good : the NMA users, or yourself ? What does NMA users opinion matter to you, since you're a new user anyway ? If the game was as awesome as you said it was, surely you'd rather play it instead of posting...

Honestly, I like Fallout 2 the way it is. Being able to explore the world in 3D would be interesting, but don't forget you'll also lose all the tactical aspects of the game in the process. As far as I'm concerned, I'd much rather have the talented modders here create a completely different...

I found the mini-game pretty good if you actually *try* to guess the correct password, instead of hitting random words and hope it will work. The balance is off though, I found easy hacking much more difficult than very-hard ones. The way the game balances difficulty is wrong (adding more...

Very interesting, it's true that the slow down is different depending on camera angles (Assault Rifle bursts, or Sniper Rifle single bullets are clear examples). During your experiments with AP burn, did you somehow manage to include movement costs as well ? I just had an idea reading the...

Yet the Family continues to hunt for fresh blood, while they could sustain their "physiological needs" with a few blood packs. Their leader even admits he did drink blood from this kind of supply at some point of his life, but stopped for a reason I can't seem to remember precisely. I think he...
