I agree with Gnidrologist wrt Fallout Tactics. I really enjoyed the combat in the game, the vehicles, the squad-based aspects. It wasn't as refined as it could have been on the turn-based side, but that didn't kill it for me, and as Puuk mentioned-- one could just balance it towards that side...

Please stop hurting us with these tales of what could have been. :(

I know there will be other post-apocalyptic games, but that doesn't keep me from mourning every time info from FO3 is leaked... So much potential at Interplay, and all of it squandered. Fallout fans are mocked as the most rabid, harsh fans around, but after following this forced march into...

I don't care if it's Fallout or not-- it looks awesome. Troika is the best hope we've got for innovative, genre-busting computer role-playing games. Arcanum was slightly flawed with regards to its combat mechanics, but its story and quirky genre place it right under Fallout in my list of...

Whaaa? Kid in what sense? I was playing Wasteland in high school on my AppleII. I suppose it's possible that you're older than me, and maybe even that you have more experience with the post-apocalyptic genre, but I doubt it. In any case, I'm not saying we should keep our mouths shut, and...

I'm only trying to say that the Bethesda developers are fans, just like us. We've always been vocal about what we want from a Fallout game, so how could they not be aware? How could they not take Fallout:PoS as a dire warning to anyone straying from the formula? No one fan has a monopoly on...

So, how do you, as a "fan", know what the fans want? I think Bethesda wanted the license (at least in part) because they are fans of the Fallout world. Why are we as a group any more qualified to say what all of the fans want? We're certainly not shackled with the burdens of financial and...

Bethesda knows exactly what it would take to make Fallout fans happy. Bitching and whining and constant poisonous cynicism is only going to make them question whether or not they care.

Sorry, I didn't mean your post in particular, but more the incessant snide, defeatist, and dismissive remarks attached to almost any story posted here these days. NMA wasn't always so cynical.

I'm by no means a newcomer to Fallout or this site, but I am also discouraged by the vitriol here. Sure, I would have preferred the license go to Troika, but it didn't. I don't think Bethesda will make a bad game by any means. I'm confident that they'll be true to the spirit of the original...

D2 gave me much more playtime than Fallout 2. That doesn't necessarily mean I feel D2 is the "better" game, but considering Fo2 was so much worse than the original, well, it's not a leap. More problematic is the pairing itself, since they're two very different games. Fo2 is turn-based...

Yeah, I was wondering if he actually meant "irreverent" or whether the game really was irrelevant with regards to the rest of the Fallout universe.

It's possible that Interplay is trying to backpedal on their mistake and recover Fallout 3 for release. Of course, it is extremely unlikely considering the bad blood spurting from prominent developers all over the INTARWEB, and the general fan distrust of the company's ability to produce a...

I'll agree this campaign is total puerile bullshit, but it's not the first Fallout title to introduce condoms, or to be doused with sex. Remember the variety of "jimmy hats" in Fallout 2? Becoming a porn star? Sex with Miss Kitty? Just about every other goddamned line of dialog? I still...

The incompetence of Interplay suits killed FO3. Would things have been any different if they'd never pursued a console rendition of the franchise? Interplay has squandered its intellectual property, and they'll probably sit on it like Electronic Arts did Wasteland, forcing someone to use their...
