Fallout: New Vegas OXM preview scans

Schizophrenic huh? I guess that means there won't be any negotiating or dialogue with them like there was with all the non schizophrenic supermutants that we encountered before.

Oh wait...

As for the article, should these people even be called game journalists? I mean what is it about a preview that makes it journalism. They should be called game critics at the very least. That way they won't be an insult to the profession of journalism. I reckon they would give Fox News a run for their money on how biased and unprofessional they are in calling themselves 'journalists'.

Also points go to the 'history lesson'. Just to clue you in OXM, it's called an Elderscrolls sequel, not an Oblivion sequel. Alternatively you can call it a sequel to Oblivion. But the way it is written now it makes you look like you think the whole series was called Oblivion (either that or you conviently assume that the series started with Oblivion, much like you've done for Fallout).

Edit: Oh look - Oblivion 5 is coming.

My god.

 

On topic of the OXM doing a Rybicki: OXM Review of Fallout 3.

Urgh. You know, if I ran a gaming magazine, I'd do away with the mandatory point system. Just review it, say what I thought about it, and leave it at that. Annoy Metacritic a little, ya know?

 

I know. They really should go over their old reviews because contradictions like this happen.

 

BTW, the subscribers should already have the new issue of PC Gamer US. Wonder if it's the same article as UK edition, or a new one.

 

I think it's a minor thing. I mean sure I love turn based combat and will miss it but I would much much much rather have an engaging storyline and characters. The gameplay means so little to me at this point. I just want a fallout game that can keep my interest and not bore me to death.

 

8 is Circus Strongman. 10 is Hercule's Bigger Cousing

 

10 is Hercules Strongbaby

8 is Circus Bigger Cousin

 

From the look of the advertisement on page 1, there won't be a nuka-cola quest; Sunset is the cola of the west. I don't think this has picked this up yet.

On a side note, Those geckos are some of the best models i've seen with this engine. Is it a Beth or Obsidian employee(s) who does the modelling? That way I know if I can praise or rage.

 

Hahaha. Yup. Oblivion 5.

They've done away with the pre-Todd Howard Fallout, and now they've done away with the pre-Todd Howard Elder Scrolls.

Oblivion 5? Please.

 

I play games mainly for the gameplay. When I want to play another "Fallout" game, I want it to be turn-based with isometric view.
It doesn't even have to be set in the Fallout setting, it just needs to have all the strengths of the Fallout's gameplay, while fixing its weaknesses.

 

Behind the closed doors:
"Lets wait and see if we can shut this interplay mmo thing down before we decide what skins to apply to our new game."

 

Eric Blair (Orwell) would be proud. A little history re-write.

 

...

He was/is a journalist If you dont believe BN, then I guess you dont believe anyone Dino.

Again it would be relevant to mention previous games and work related to Fallout while writting some article about Vegas.

 

I still think one of the more impressive things about the article is that OXM managed to misquote themselves.



Are their journalistic abilities almost as bad as my photoshop skills? Yes, yes they are.

 

So you're given a Vault jumpsuit to wear at the start of the game? I'd rather wear the rags I nearly died in. Going around in the jumpsuit is like wearing a Hawaian shirt and fannypack in Thailand.

 

This is OXM U.K., so of course they're gonna be a bunch of fucking idiots. I'd rather take retarded monkeys writing the article than those dumbasses.

The article was disappointing in the fact that it was nothing new that I didn't know about ( other than the BoS returning and the small info about the Nightkin ).

 

It almost makes you cry...
