Sometimes I feel rage at the world, then I read 4too's posts, and everything becomes sublime and peaceful.
Per said:Fallout 3 is mostly an action RPG, but the stealth elements are quite entertaining.
Eyenixon said:Per said:Fallout 1 and 2 where point and click overhead view kind of like what you would find in Runescape or WoW, but Fallout 3 you can play in third or first-person, use V.A.T.S., steal, and tell what your doing a lot better.
I can tell you were itching to quote this, it is pretty bad.

The Brown Corridor
You are in a corridor stretching east to west. Rusty pipes crusted with lime run underneath the ceiling and the floor is covered in grimy deposits. There is some Rad-X lying here. There is a radscorpion here, clicking menacingly.
> get rad
You pick up the radscorpion. The radscorpion attacks! It hits for 5 points of damage.
> holy fuck
I don't know how to "holy fuck". The radscorpion attacks! It hits for 8 points of damage.
> drop scorpian
I don't see any "scorpian" here. The radscorpion attacks! It hits for 6 points of damage. You feel your life slipping away. Your torch is about to go out.
> change batteries
I don't know how to "change batteries". The radscorpion attacks! It hits for 3 points of damage. You are dead. Do you want to load a saved game (Y/N)

It's as much an adventure game as it is an RPG.
RPGs essentially *are* adventure games, but I've seen a couple of editorials at JA where the author professed an aversion towards shooters and mainstream games in general, so it seems unusual that a JA reviewer would be so enamored with an RPG/FPS hybrid like Fallout 3. Then again, JA also posted glowing reviews of Deus Ex and System Shock, so maybe it's just the case of one editor hating action games with a passion.Brother None said:Scorpius said:How peculiar, Fallout 3 doesn't strike me as the type of game JustAdventure would review, let alone praise to high heavens.
