    Bethesda Vs. Black Isle: Sex, Brats, And Addiction

    Oh, you liked that last one, didn't ya? Here's another one for you: Now that's what I call funny: trite, nonsensical, and downright tasteless. Great stuff, great stuff... As with the robot jokes, this is the best Fallout 3 humor I could dig up. If you - or anyone else, for this matter -...

    Bethesda Vs. Black Isle: Sex, Brats, And Addiction

    Judging a book by its cover? Talk about inappropriate analogies. If having a deep understanding of the game's engine, being thoroughly informed of its developers and their overall track record, watching dozens of various gameplay videos and reviews, as well as playing the game personally for...

    Fallout 3 reviews round-up #90

    A man of great astuteness, if I ever saw one. :clap: The score? 9/10, unfortunately. No comment on this literary wonder. Oh, wait, here's one: "does... not... compute..." No argument there. The brainwashing beauty, awesomeness and epicness of such weapons is undeniable.

    Bethesda Vs. Black Isle: Sex, Brats, And Addiction

    I'm sorry, your "on par" humor comparison only does a disservice to the inadequate sequel. When you discuss the qualities of a 2008 game that is Fallout 3, don't bring up its decade-old prequels. Look at other big games of that year, GTA IV and Mass Effect, and go from there. Not that I...

    Bethesda Vs. Black Isle: Sex, Brats, And Addiction

    Well, I did take a closer second look (strictly for evaluating its modding potential) at most of the game's key locations - and, thus, at some of their content - with the help of the console's cell teleport command. Unsurprisingly, the game is all it appears to be from its very beginning...

    NMA's Fallout 3 Mod Showcase: 27th December 2008

    Frankly, that's the kind of post-apocalyptic game I would really want to play. Sense of despairing, gritty realism and no infantile fantasy stuff whatsoever. Drop in an intelligently written storyline, unstrained dialogues, at least satisfactory visuals and extensive modding support, and that...

    Fallout 3 GotY: GameSpot PC #1, Sky News #1, GamingShogun #1

    It'd be difficult for me to encounter many Fallout 3 bugs as I didn't like the game enough to play it for more than an hour. During that period, I experienced one annoyingly ill-timed crash to desktop and received one error message on exiting the game the second time. If GTAIV got undermined...

    Fallout 3 GotY: GameSpot PC #1, Sky News #1, GamingShogun #1

    As far as I recall, we're discussing "Game of the Year", not "Classic RPG of the Year". You've already admitted that the game has a nice design and at least some fairly good gameplay elements. What else there to discuss other than the quality of its writing? The aesthetic qualities of its visual...

    Fallout 3 GotY: GameSpot PC #1, Sky News #1, GamingShogun #1

    One of the worst console ports ever? Er... Try playing Resident Evil 4 or Dynasty Warriors/Warriors Orochi on PC and come back to me on that one. As for Mass Effect's writing, let me google a couple of quotes for comparison: Yeah, I can clearly see where you're coming from.

    Fallout 3 GotY: GameSpot PC #1, Sky News #1, GamingShogun #1

    Grand Theft Auto IV as #5... and FIFA 2009 as #3? Top Spin 3, Crysis Warhead and Sins of a Solar Empire as GoTY nominees? Hey, how come Spore or The Sims 2: Apartment Life missed the list? I feel offended. As far as PC games of the year go, I'd place GTAIV as number one and Mass Effect as...

    If there's one gut Charakteristikum the Postapokalyptischen Oblivion with Knarren has to offer, it's, of course, its Charaktererschaffung. I mean, this is obvious, nein? Ende des Sarkasmus.

    If what you say is right, the three stooges (Howard, Pagliarulo and Hines) should have joined NMA years ago. My last post for today. Merry Christmas to all.

    Bethesda Vs. Black Isle: Sex, Brats, And Addiction

    I have a Slavic friend who happened to play the Russian translation of Fallout 2 before he had a chance to buy it in its original language. He told me that the original text was so unrecognizable it felt like playing a different game. With this in mind, I wouldn't rule your conjecture out. I...
