Another blog batch because I know you love them.
Delayed Flight, 10/10.<blockquote>This game has a lot of replayability, and since it was build on the Gamebryo engine we’re sure to see mods being release when the development package is released to the public.
On a side note this game is an Role Play Game from a first person perspective not a first person shooter so to fully enjoy the game don’t rush the main quest instead just wander the wastes.</blockquote>FlixnJoystix, 4/5.<blockquote>This game offers some of the best decapitations ever seen in video game history, truly an awesome and disturbing accomplishment by the animators. All you kids may want to avoid the headshots if your parents are in the room. All you adults may want to avoid them as well, lest your significant other start wondering about your sanity.
Much like Oblivion this game does a number of things well. The overall story is a good one, and there are even a few surprises that will adjust according to the choices you make. Even though the ending is a little weak in comparison to the rest of the game, I was still fairly happy with it. The game does well graphically for the most part, and even though the some of the faces look wooden, emotions are conveyed effectively, and there are finally attractive women in this genre of gaming. The script is mediocre; however the voice acting is very well done.</blockquote>Harakazuma’s Weblog.<blockquote>What makes this an exciting RPG is the vastness of the game itself. The character can go pretty much anywhere they wish, and speak to anyone they choose to.
To sum it up, Fallout 3 is a wonderful RPG..one of the first truly innovative of its class.</blockquote>ImageGaming.<blockquote>However I know that in the future, I can play the game again, and completely change the entire gameplay based on making different decisions in my interactions with other people. While I went down the “Good” path, it’s also possible to take the other path, which one person described to me as “Stealing everything that isn’t bolted down, insulting the mother of every NPC, then putting a bullet in their heads”. The game really is what you make of it. Finish it in a day, or never actually finish it. It’s totally up to you.
Overall this game is a must buy for anyone who enjoys a good single player RPG experience with an open game world where your actions have a direct impact. It’s not just a game, but an experience. Something to be remembered and treasured in the years to come, and a standard by which future games will be judged.</blockquote>Nerd on a plane.<blockquote>At its heart, your mission will be about shooting people in the head. And animals, and ghouls, and mutants and even robots, but the head part remains true. There will be a lot of shooting. There will also be a lot of walking, and if you don't cheat, a lot of inventory management and frustration.
Weird bits? I used only a single nuke in the entire game and only a handful of missiles. I ended with bloody tons of the things but you can almost always do better with an aimed shot.</blockquote>A Paris Afternoon/A Vastly Ironic Life, 5/5.<blockquote>Unlike the clunky, very less-than-gratifying, hit-or-miss combat system of their previous titles, Bethesda’s Fallout 3 utilizes a new hybrid combat mechanic called V.A.T.S., which stands for Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System. Think of it as a half shooter, half turn-based RPG. See, in the middle of a sortie, bringing up V.A.T.S. will freeze the action, and highlight your target, allowing you to specifically hone in on whichever limb and/or vital organ you think they could make just fine without, allowing the less than “twitch-happy” RPG crowd to fully utilize their carefully crafted characters skill.</blockquote>Master Engineer of Sigmar's Realm, 9.6.<blockquote>Thankfully there are appropriate awards depending on your handling of a quest, and these could range from a person lowering their prices in their stall for you to schematics for a weapon or a permanent increase in your attributes. The versatility of the system and the array of choices and permutations available provides huge replay value. Many people, myself included, can happily confess to simply wandering the Wasteland, exploring. Exploring is rewarded in a sense, but the world is so beautifully created that you’ll find it hard not to wander at times, especially when you might see something interesting in the distance.</blockquote>Azureus.<blockquote>But in the end a warning: This play does not have its “for young people under 18 years” - seal clearly earns. Compared with Oblivion and Morrowind almost is the brutality frightening. This somewhat rauere clay/tone nevertheless inserts itself degrees marvelously into the world, even if one had been able to deal around some more economically with the pixel blood. And also at the risk that I repeat myself, it is and remains now times a Bethesda role performance. And as Fanboy I forgive those nearly everything.</blockquote>
