//Not trolling. I'm saying, the people who hate Fallout 3 just because of the shift in direction are being unreasonable. If anything, all the nerd rage should be directed at Interplay for dropping the ball. I cited Super Mario. A franchise that switched from 2D to 3D and still carried on the...

Didn't fail as badly as Black Isle did. You realize that franchises change platforms and developers all the time, right? See: Ninja Gaiden. See: Super Mario, See: Fallout 3. The truth is, the pen and paper formula is an antique artform. FPS is the next step up and I'm glad someone took...

Exactly. Fallout 3 is not meant to emulate pen & paper role playing games, hence the nerd rage.

This cracks me up. Whereas you had a blast watching them duke it out on the other hand I can see some nerd fan throwing his controller in anger because there aren't supposed to be Super Mutants in the Fallout universe Oh my GOD!!! *pssst there are*

This exactly. People whine about choices? ARE THEY FUCKING RETARDED. From the beginning of F3 you can -Save Butch or kill him. He later joins your party. -Kill the overseer although he dies anyway. -Spare Megaton or blow it up -Sell out the kids of Light Caverns to the slavers or rescue...

I remember when Mario 64 came out, all the Nintendo fanboys were up in arms. "3D??? THIS IS NOT A MARIO GAME" "IT'S A GOOD GAME, It's NO Mario" "3D is ruining everything". "Mario 64 wasn't a platformerr TERRIBLE" You'll always have a isolated radical fan base that takes ANY...

***Spoilers**** Even though I saw it coming from a mile away, finding out that the ENCLAVE is a FUCKING MACHINE was a big shock. I mean they have such a big presence throughout the game and It was just such a well written twist. It's the classic Fallout 1 / Fallout 2 Moral dilema. Do...

in Fallout 2, you pause and leisurely and slowly queue up all your attacks while the entire world mysteriously FREEZES. Enemies will be right by your face and they will just stop and wait until you queue up everything and use items. Cut me a break I don't need that teddy bear shit. I prefer...

I wonder if future patches will change the HUD. It seems a little cluttered for my liking.

That's what I meant. It's a shame because personally I think the hex system allows for much more flexibility at least outside of the computer gaming world I mean, but for the Joe Six Pack gamer, I think the concept of there being more than 4 sides was too much for them to handle.

I'm more used to the traditional Japanese grid system. Much more effective in my opinion.

Having played the game for a good numbers of hours, I think the game is a perfect spiritual successor to the Fallout franchise.

Fallout 3 looks amazing. Personal preference though. Like I said, I have a top end system and monitors to match so your mileage may vary.

I know what you mean. I showed my neighbor Fallout 2. I showed him the part where I rape this woman and you're forced to marry her. So I took her outside in the middle of nowhere, and shot her in the head with a shotgun. I went back, told her father his daughter was DEAD and her father had a...

Sorry I should have clarified. In Fallout 2, the quests always kept you on the move. Although you have more than enough time you always had this sense of urgency because if you didn't return in time, your village was fucked. Where is that in Falllout 3? GURPS is not around anymore. I...
