True enough, I wouldn't make that claim or that it was more tactical. Fallout 3's combat isn't more tactical or challenging though - depsite people's claims that the NPCs flank, suppress, etc. STALKER was a better FPS than Fallout 3 though, in my opinion.

This contest seems rigged from the get go, heh.

I guess I'm jaded. The OTT death animations (clean decapitation from a 10mm round, who knew) weren't funny and were pretty tiresome. All in all, weak defense.

Broken Steel sounds somewhat interesting, especially the bit about seeing the effects. Now, part of me suspects it'll be a slideshow, but maybe they'll change the landscape to reflect it so you can see it first hand. The Pitt, eh, "morally grey choices" as they are in Fallout 3 - I'll pass...

Via a friend, he kept raving on and on about how cool the game was, so I decided to give it a look. Funnily I ended up playing Fallout 2 before Fallout 1 due to him giving me the former first. :)

Something galls me about the way that's written, as if it's a great thing. Aside, I never knew so many game reviewing sites existed!

You're a minority in going back to playing the first and second games then. Majority of people I tend to find in discussions about the game, compare this to Oblivion or Morrowind at best, and at worst do they "lol this looks like shit" type of comment at the previous games. And I was deferring...

Bah, I wonder why the Witcher wasn't on there. Then again it came out in 07 and I guess the EE didn't warrant a mention. Ah well, slim field and these GOTY things are meaningless these days anyway.

I wouldn't say they revived it, none of the new fans seem to even know about the earlier games. Everytime a fan breathes a word about Fallout 3 they mention Oblivion, not Fallout 1 or 2. Oh well, mass appeal has a price, heh. Moira's quests don't put a moral choice in the player's hands...

Well to be fair, this page is people refuting the claim that the game was rushed, not hating for hating's sake. I doubt this thread was meant to be some sort of happy fest where people post "FALLOUT 3 ROCKS!!" over and over. No need to backseat moderate.

Yeah, I loved Fallout 3 as much as I liked Deus Ex 2. And the Witcher's bugs weren't that crippling, I found it to be far better than Fallout 3, more interesting world, better atmosphere (granted you step into Geralt's shoes not Joe Q Vault Dweller)

Argh, my head hurts. This should be a free add-on, doesn't really add anything to the game (supposedly an RPG) just some "oh wow cool!" crap.

The Anchorage add-on earns an eye-roll, sounds like too much emphasis on blowing stuff up as opposed to anything else. The other two sound somewhat promising, Broken Steel might just devolve into more dungeon crawling though.

As a game by itself I think it's ok, nothing near Fallout standard though. Odd for an RPG but no urge at all to replay it for me.

There's a strawman for you. Wanting better dialogue doesn't mean that it has to be text, I'm not sure who exactly is asking for lots of text based dialogue though. They could easily expand upon the current writing to make it richer in the various places it's sort of "meh". Easily done...

Shame a lot of the "outdated, subpar" games are more fun than the crop of supposedly top flight games now. Anyway, overreact much about the other side of the fence much ? Sheesh

Funny how the open-minded people always agree with the observer. Anyway, I don't get an overpowering sense of negativity from reading this forum - even if I did, I doubt it'd upset me so much to post a stern refutal.

Eh I didn't really like the BoS as they are at the Pentagon, all goody goody for the most part. I was curious to check out the Outcast guys, but slipped my mind - do they offer anything interesting lore or quest wise ? And I think Public's point was just doing away with that ironic twist with...

Not really a "character", but it was sort fun, more of what I'd expect from an FPS or something, honestly. My friend laughed and told me "oh a LITERAL Deus Ex Machina" when I described him - lucky BoS just getting that thing :D

I'd say the originator of the IP.
