No argument there, Fallout 3 has around 100 hours of gameplay while Fallout does have many less explorable locations and quests. This is where I will begin to differ. The quality over quantity standpoint is quite valid, and in my opinion the whole design of the quests in Fallout is not only...

Looks like this guy has a future at Bethesda.

After reading some stuff on the Vault, I'm almost positive that the NCR ending will be made official. Seeing how much that both Obsidian and Bethesda are raiding all of the Van Buren assets, I think we will see many bits of that intended story line continue through the future of the series, even...

9/10 Because I also prefer my animals to be anthropomorphic and use things that we all know they are too stupid to! Silly animals!

Hey there... so I've been playing NV on my Xbox and enjoying it a lot, but I wanted to give the PC version a try on my laptop for when My room mates want to play something else on the box. I installed it and set it to lowest settings, and it seemed to be running pretty well inside the Doc's...

Hey I play X Box cause I can't afford an awesome computer... That's where I've been playing NV. I just tried to run the PC version and it wasn't quite as nice of an experience :(. I used to be a PC gamer, and the Fallout games are actually what got me started when they came out, but I can't...

Ah I see you were still talking about tactics. Yeah, I really did enjoy that game even though it was only a combat game rather than a full fledged RPG. I liked to play it on turn based and real time and the combat was a blast, it seemed to work really well. Plus there's nothing like blasting...

Yep. I agree I would play say Gears of War the same way, but the difference is that in real time your enemy has a chance to hit you when you reveal yourself whereas in Fallout the only thing the AI could do was try to reach the doorway, which they never would.

True, there isn't a lot of risk involved and combat is really easy in FO3 and NV, especially since enemies scale to your level. As far as being a role-playing game that is based on a rational system where your character's statistics matter in combat... well it isn't. But, you do have to be...

Calm down there buddy. You are misinterpreting what he's trying to get at. I can tell that, like me, he prefers to have his intellect and imagination engaged, even at the expense of his senses. Yes, you are right, FO1 & 2 had isometric, 2d world views and poor graphics by today's standards...

As far as companions go, I LOVE Cass for her sassy, hard drinking attitude and one liners. I have known a few girls like that ;P. And of course, the fact that she's Cassidy's daughter makes her quite the nice reference to Fallout 2. Boone is a little boring to me, but maybe I haven't found...

Definitely a good point that the old games were created in a different kind of atmosphere. I guess it's like anything else when the bottom line is concerned - think of all of the great books and comic books that were written by talented people for a small audience, then bastardized by big screen...

I haven't played through as Legion yet but I was worried about this. It's disappointing to hear that there's so little to do if you run with the Legion, but I guess I will just have to make my Legion guy my character who runs amock destroying the lives of everyone he meets.

I can appreciate that to an extent, and I agree that Fallout 1 was much more serious and austere in how it dealt with such topics, which is one of the reasons I tend to like it better than Fallout 2. Still, If we're talking about a society that has been trying to wrest itself from the maw of...

It's a really tough call between Fallout 1 and 2. Fallout 2 was just so huge and free. There was so much to do and so many places where you could weild your influence. But while Fallout 1 was smaller in scope, it had a tighter story and atmosphere and was a lot more engaging in terms of...
