Fallout 3 is dead :(

[Dis]

I blame consoles for everything.

I am going on a crusade to destroy consoles now. I am going to smash every console I find with a big hammer. even if I have to smash 100 million of them.

I blame consoles too; especially for Deus Ex: IW.

So they are! How should we get rid of them?

I bought Fallout 1&2 in a bargain bin. Such terrible games. The ideas were good but the programming/interface were awful. I worked so long to build up a hand to hand fighter and my reward was constant critical hits for 1 point of damage.

hmmm, were you using power fists? or any of the other punch/kick moves such as haymaker or snap kick?

Bah, how can ANYONE say Fallout 1 & 2 were bad games? They are pinnicle of role playing!

[Sarxis]

I personally couldn't get past the isometric view on it. I'm spoiled when it comes to RPGs (SS2, Morrowind, DX).

Ah, the fond memories... The first time I ever played Fallout, for some reason, I refused to use guns for a while... But I trained up so much in martial arts, that one kick would rip my opponents apart! That was something.

This is obviously fake.: humans don't hold miniguns like that.

That's a silly reason not to like a game .

How do you figure its silly? I didn't like the isometric view (gameplay). Its a big part of the graphics scheme.

But like I said- most of the other RPGs I've played were FPS or 3rd-person 3d hybrids.

Not liking a game because of its graphics scheme is, IMO, silly. That'd be like hating Civ2 because the graphics sucked for its time (and they did). I play for the gameplay. The graphics are just extra.

I think it's a legitimate reason not to like a game.

I suppose if you grew up on new 3d Games and never played the older games, you might not like them. Fallout is a little bit dated now. But for their time those types of 3rd person views were standard.

And there was nothing wrong with Civ2 graphics when the game came out. Compared to other games of its genre, the graphics were accpetable. Sure they couldn't compare to the graphics of Doom, but it's a completely different type of game.

And that screenshot above is supposed to be real. Check out the Interplay boards.
