Cost more than the advertising campaign to get a few decent pub bands to write a song or three?

What could have worked in the 'convince Eden is wrong' idea would be prior quests or discoveries of notes, tapes etc. where prior 'good' ideas of Eden and the Enclave were shown to have a bad effect on the very world that Eden thinks it is helping, something along the lines of telling the Master...

Well maybe if even fans of the game complain about the main quest, then Beth will at least redo it in a patch or expansion. Always better to have the developers fix their own errors than fans. Bah, what am I saying? Beth has already moved onto the expansions. More money to be had in...

Diablo 3 will shit all over Fallout 3 in sales. Starcraft 2 will as well. Just in South Korea I bet more people will buy Starcraft 2 than Fallout 3 will sell worldwide. A simple hack and slash and an iconic RTS will garner a much wider worldwide audience than a niche setting like post-apocalypse...

The 'great development team and Bethesda' are the ones responsible for a game where your wish list for the next one is so big. If they were so 'great' wouldn't the game be 'better' than Oblivion? Though I like the 'not in the USA' idea. Would be good to see how the rest of the world is...

Funny, I never really though of it as a problem, but then New Reno never bothered me either. When playing FO2 I just enjoyed it so much that I didn't analyse everything so closely. For me the Shi or Reno or Hub, were just various interestingly different groups and places. Only in retrospect did...

If Beth really wanted to show that the USA stayed in a 50's 'utopia' then instead of just playing 50's music that was 'old' at the time anyway, they should have put in rock and roll tracks or even better, make up some rock and roll inspired tunes, such as what the Raveonettes are doing now for...

This is so true as you can see by the lies Beth told before release of the game, how it wasn't Oblivion with guns, how it was revolutionary, immersive, how the AI is so lifelike, how it respects and builds upon Fallout, how there are 200 endings etc. All shitty lies. They couldn't even make a...

Yeah I remember entering Rivet City and thinking that it's a ripoff of the San Fran tanker. Playing Gothic 2 now, and despite the archaic graphics, I think they do a lot better job of conveying the world than the segmented animations of Fallout 3. Third person in all Beth games is...

Well when a person likes something they tend to overlook small details like facts. That's quite a list of pop culture references, didn't see that many myself as barely forced myself to finish the game.

I'd like to have seen 'Where is my Mind' by the Pixies as it fits my thoughts while playing F3! :?

Should have the Horst Wessel, the song of the SS as Bethesda proved to be real Nazis in the way they gassed and fried Fallout.

Well I thought what set Fallout apart from other games was that it was set in a POST Apocalyptic world, not a PRE Apocalyptic one! What's the point of calling it Fallout when it could be any modern/futuristic shooter like Battlefield 2142 or Frontlines? Beth is too inept to make a...

Saw the screenies of Fallout 3 addon. Saw this: tankshttp://www.worthplaying.com/kiwi_popup.php?img=press/303/Fallout3_OA_chimera.jpg I know it's a scenario before the bombs, but it's pretty ridiculous to see. I'd much rather a Fallout that really shows the desperation of the wastes like...

He he he..now THAT would be good! Fallout 3 would simply become a kind of fancy menu for selecting the true Fallouts ingame :)

How true. Well you can see this symbiosis between game publisher and hardware manufacture with almost every big game these days, what with the 'Plays better on NVIDIA/ATI', 'Runs best on Intel' etc. propaganda when loading a game. This is also evident when a game runs better on a particular type...

The whole point of RPG character development is to develop the skills of the damn character so that he gets BETTER at things. It's hard to accurately simulate percentage hits and misses and critical failures etc. in an FPS way, but if you can't do it then don't try and make a damn FPS RPG!

Good analogy with AGP, shovel enough crap about how FPS combat is so much more 'immershunsful' than ISO TB or what have you and people will buy it. Funny though that from Russia over the last few years we've had quite a few good games that made money using a 3D rotatable ISO camera and TB...

Exactly, a lot of the companies in the 90's were doing well enough to survive, but the call went out from the bosses that it wasn't enough money to fund more ambitious projects in future so they either had to be absorbed by EA or Activision or other publishers to get capital or get a loan...

Well of course it's not the fault of the developers, but Interplay is not just developers, it's the management and like the management of Jowood that destroyed Gothic, they are bloodsucking vampires killing the goose that lays them golden eggs just to maximise short term profit.
