Reviewers often tend to get into a herd mentality, when they see one bunch giving great reviews, they continue to follow the script. There really doesn't have to be 'bribing' per se, but these reviewers can get some or all of the following: meet the developers giving demos, they get a free...

Well a video is just slightly better than playing the game I guess. Has about the same level of interactivity and is much shorter.

Well Gooscar, you're going to get Fallout without the Fallout part in the first expansion, a 'military simulation' of a 'battle'(Beths words) that happens BEFORE the bombs fall. Don't know how that will fit into the 'expanding' on the Fallout universe idea. You may as well have a space...

Fuck Arcanum too? I bloody well hope not! That setting was unique! Could have made a great franchise, my character Poncenby Snoot was such a dapper lad! I have to repeat that I'm glad that Planescape wasn't that successful and WOTC decided not to update the rules, or there would have been a...

Dragula, I think you'll find that that list is quite erroneous, often counting western atrocities as communist ones, ie. it was the US not the communists that killed by far the most civilians in Vietnam and Korea. Funny how the centuries of western 'democratic' or 'christian' imperialism and the...

The backstory will be turned from a cynical reality where EVERY world power did nasty things in order to get ahead, into a tale of US righteousness against an evil world. After all, this would sell better with the US as unquestioned 'good guy'. Why else make a 'military simulation' addon that...

Anchorage thing actually sounds like a FPS not a role-playing scenario. Here's the blurb from Worthplaying.com: 'Operation: Anchorage. Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe – the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist...

Hmm, I see that NMA people are a fickle bunch! First most of what I see here are complaints about how Fallout has been murdered by Bethesda, and now most of the comments have people drooling over what 'cool' new things Beth is giving them! Seems that that was their plan!

GoW is a joke indeed, fun for a while, then the repetitive nature of it takes over, the stupid 'shoot the final badguy in the foot while he's hopping on one leg in 0.3s to take off 10% off his health' was particularly antique. Fallout 3 had one redeeming quality: The final battle wasn't so...

Well from what I understand, the Chinese invaded Alaska before the nuclear war, but then why is it in a Fallout game? Why not just make a Call of Duty game where you fight the Chinese as a US Marine? I'm sure Infinity Ward would make a better FPS with the material than Bethesda is going to.

I think the shelters were meant to be dual purpose. To save humanity, the best kind of course, ala the Dr Strangelove idea, BUT also like someone said, a few of the vaults here or there would have had different groupings there the be used as a study. The idea for the vaults would have been to...

All these will be mini expansions, they will come out after the SDK in december. First will be 'Operation Anchorage', where you join the US military and fight against Chinese communists invading Alaska. Second will be 'The Pitt' where you investigate the environs of Pittsburgh...

One weekend in 1997, taking a break in my university studies from doing nothing I drove to an electronics store and saw Fallout in that big brown box with a flap on a shelf. In 1997 RPG's were few, and one with a post apocalyptic theme with a cool screenshot of a radscorpion being attacked by a...

The problem is with all the sales of Fallout 3 to a large number of very easily pleased people there is no reason to 'break' what for Bethesda has been very successful to date. In fact, I'd guess that Beth will first release some half arsed expansions with a few new locations then release F4 as...

Or more focused on a central theme like Fallout 1,2 and to use a great recent example, The Witcher? Having just restarted a Fallout 1 game, I've been moved to ponder just how well paced it is, how it takes you through the main journey, how there are side quests for each area that reward you...

Lost art? Luckily that Poland is still a bit backward so we actually got slideshows and voice overs for The Witcher! Maybe they could impart their knowledge to Beth?

Ausdoerrt, I've already started on Fallout 1 again with a retarded character in homage to Beth. Have the Witcher ready for another run through as well.

Yeah those fucking kids. But Moira for me as she is one of the first characters you see when exiting the vault and is the giver of a big quest. Yet another 'great' design decision by Beth to make a major character so loathsome. Really sets the tone for the rest of the game I guess.

Though I uninstalled F3 days ago, that cheerful idiotic accented voice and that retarded blank stare on that stupid red-haired bitch is still in my head. Is there a more loathsome character in a game that you just wanted to kill in a thousand ways? To think Beth made here into a major one too...

AlwaysNukaCola, I tried liking it, and did for a while WHEN I stopped thinking of it as Fallout and when I tried to purge the originals from my mind, but F3 just keeps hitting you in the face with painful attempts to show that it IS Fallout, it exhumes Harold for god's sake! I just found it...
