Fallout 3 reviews round-up #23

[Claw]

HonestGamers, 10.<blockquote>And then there's the Fallout of old, which brings me to this request: if you're a fan of the originals, please play them again before you tackle this. The absolute worst thing to do would be to revisit the Fallout universe wearing rose-tinted specs, because Fallout 3 really is a resounding improvement on every level. Interplay's games were true classics, but things have moved on a long way since then, and Fallout 3 is the quintessential proof.</blockquote>

Please try to be more obnoxious. Oh wait, that isn't even possible, you stupid fuck. HonestGamers my ass.

^^^^

Oh phu-lease, I am going to puke.

(not because of your comment Claw)

Its has almost reach Halo 3's level of sickening, apparently the Second Coming has happened yet again!

Wow what a Dick of a statement from Lewis Denby of HonestGamers. The only rose-tinted specs I wear have to do with the A-Team, and a few Knight Rider episodes... maybe.

The voice acting is grating and cringeworthy, as is the dialogue. "Mum" is the winner so far:

Liam Neeson: It's a boy.
Mum: <painedgiggle> Oh-ho. A son. Uh. <painedgiggle> My son, what a son you're going to turn out to be, son. <painedgiggle>
Liam Neeson: Son, you are my son, son.

For fuck's sake.

Damn that was funny, I actually laughed out loud! Glad I wasn't consuming anything.

This is actually true, just not in the way the journo intended.

The beginning and the dialogue spoken in it is actually pretty decent and nothing like you "quoted" there. It's rather life-like.

Please complain about the actual bad dialogue and voice acting instead of making things up?

 

[fedaykin]

Life-like?? Please. Who talks in such a theatrical fashion when their child is born?

That said, I do agree that there are much worse examples. What first comes to mind is an exchange with one of the 'vampire' gang members who literally told me that they are a cool gang.

 

[PhillyT]

While I would agree the game is probably 9 out of 10 as a whole, how can a reviewer give it a straight 10/10, then give more than two examples of things he doesn't like...

Wouldn't that my necessity mean it isn't perfect and not deserving of a 10?

haven't had so many lolz in a long, long time

The voice- acting is nowhere near 'life-like'. But yeah, nothing like the Developer quoted. Pretty funny post, though.
