GFW Top 10 PC games of 2008 features Fallout 3

as they did with Oblivion, Bethesda is customizing the entire experience and user interface for each particular platform. You're not going to be playing a console port.

yeah, this is the biggest crock of shit i've read today. the UI in oblivion was terrible, and the same on all systems.

One reason why I enjoy Maximum PC so much is when they do review a game they are brutally honest. Their take on Deus Ex 2 was hilariously awesome and honest.

That's kinda funny coming from a guy w/ Michael Moore as his avatar.....

Didn't Dogmeat die?

i havent seen or heard of any real updates as to its progress.

Ah, come on. You know Maxis. "We're doing something cool" and then BAM. Something cool. :P

Right? :look:

Officially yes, but then again the Enclave were supposed to be wiped out and now they're hosting a freaking radio station!

More callbacks = more cannon... ofcourse.

I'm waiting for the Master to return... in an overseer's chair modified into a nuclear powered flying saucer... that shoots lasers... and makes a cool wurrrrrrr sound.

On another note... haven't there been a few previews now that start out praising F3, and then discredit the "rabid fanbase" on the premise that there's not enough information to make a judgement yet?

He'll be called Super Master, in Fallout 4: Glyph of the Dark Side. You'll need a special sword of <s>monster</s>mutant slaying +1. It uses gasoline!

I'm still waiting for when they announce that you have a snippy robot companion voiced by Seth Green named KILL, just to see if people will accept it as an inevitable change.
 
Ahhh the gaming press is a whore of a gaming industry :( I remember reading a very nice and honest review of Fallout in a 1998 march issue of PC Zone. Then I read their preview of F3 on their web site, hoping they will be at least 50% as honest as NMA review was, and I got really disappointed.

Maybe I could scan those old pages and post them here, if that's not illegal, of course :) Brother None?
 
Yup, same here. I remember reading a very nice and informed review of Fallout 1, and the same mag now published a preview of Fallout 3. Guess what... -_-

"Huge unknown"... "damn thing"... gaming journalism isn't what it used to be. I first noticed this after seeing the word "helluva" start springing up in some game review sites...

SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T KNOW: "We can confirm that, yes, you can have a dog," says VP of public relations and marketing Pete Hines, "and yes, his name is Dogmeat."

So you named a dog after a Fallout dog.... what does that have to do with ANYTHING when it comes to the quality of the game ?

Does this tell us that you care ? No, it tells us that you think we fall for stupid gimmicks.
 
How you gonna hate if i stole your plate? The fact of the matter is largely unknown. Each time i read something its the same small bits of information reworded by some dude that want to keep his job.

So you're of the mind they should devote an entire issue just so that people on the internet can say "FALLOUT 3 IS FINO PCZ ROOL CONSOLE PORT CONSOLE PORT CONSOLE PORT" (Obviously exaggerating there (And mentioning it here because if I don't someone will think that is my opinion of all NMA because while people here and elsewhere use exaggerations of people who think Fallout 3 will be enjoyable all the time ("NUKLUR EPXLORONZ R AWEXXXOME") the same are unacceptable reversed (That's as much as four tens (And that's terrible)))) while they said "I don't know internet people it looks pretty cool to me" "Cool? What sort of a half-assed magazine are you running here? You should be more concerned with journalistic integrity than how cool a game seems" and so on and so forth.

The picture sorta works in the context of a forum, but for a magazine? Hell, in their... November issue I think they had a letter or two of people complaining about all the coverage World of Warcraft gets in the magazine, if they devoted more than the page or two of the My Precious article to "Debating Fallout 3 With People on the Internet" they'd probably get letters from people who don't give a damn about Fallout 3 or, possibly, don't give a damn what other people think about Fallout 3.

I'm sort of meandering all over the place again, but it just smacks of NMA paranoia to me. Read the whole clip Brother None posted there (Dunno if that's all of it, don't have this issue yet). They say at worst "Some of the more rabid Fallout fan communities", nothing like "Those sons of bitches at NMA who I hate with every fiber of my soul". On top of that, the "The truth of the matter is no one knows a damn thing yet about whether the game will be good or not." followed by the fact that "And we do like what we've seen--so for now, we're keeping hope alive, and keeping Fallout 3 on this list." they're not saying Fallout 3 is the greatest RPG ever made, they're saying that it looked good from the little demo, and they're not saying that "WE'RE RIGHT AND NMA IS WRONG, SUCK IT NMA!". Basically, since it's their magazine and on the whole they feel good/hopeful about Fallout 3, they say that. Just like people on NMA can say Fallout 3 is raping the dead corpse of the Fallout franchise and like to say cum dribbling and Toddler and Oblivious, they looooves the Oblivious, a lot without GFW kicking the door down and bitching about disagreeing with them.

RAGE BALL

No doubt about that, anyone that thinks fallout 3 looks good and is a worthy successor and all that is unworthy of attention and respect. It is right to complain because they are optimistic. Nobody should be optimistic, just like nobody should call Final Fantasy a RPG or like nobody should say Bioshock is innovative. Because that's outright false. And Fallout 3 doesn't look like a worthy predecessor at all. And we say it, and we know it.

I'm an arrogant bitch, but they've gotta learn to live with all the arrogant bitches like myself. If they can't face the truth, then the better not spread lies everywhere. Not this case in particular, just gaming journalism in general. They keep saying FO3 looks like a worthy sucessor, that it is a evolution, that the fans want a copy of Fallout 1 or (even worse) a copy of Fallout 2, and all that, and you get to complain about that, even if its their magazinne, because that's how things work. You see some stupid thing said, you complain, not because you disagree, but because you KNOW its not true. Big difference there.

Because most people here know when they are just disagreeing with someone and when they know that someone is wrong. Which is something most console retards I know can't seem to understand, and when they get their argument beaten, they just hid behind their stupid usual cliche "everybody has the right to their opinion" argument. Guess what fucker! It's not about opinions! You don't go into an exam writing down opinions and get to pass it. You have to know what you're talking about. This is not an exam, but it's not an opiniated battle either.

Fallout 3 doesn't look good, as a Fallout game. As a general game, well, I don't really know since it's not really my type (anymore), but as a Fallout game it surely doesn't look good at all. And, as I said, anybody who disagrees doesn't know what he's talking about. 'Nough said.

Games for windows is a piece-of-shit magazine than is part of Microsoft's hype machine to sell its current-shitty OS (Vista).

Face it, having a 19years old as your default PC, no turn-based combat, the refill action-point "WHAT A JOKE" perk by some douchbag who has zero idea about turn-based, some overdoing game play gimmick such as the handheld nuclear launcher, mutant who looks like Resident Evil reject, exploding car, "GOOD Wasteland patroller" Brotherhood of Steel,

Fallout 3 is fucked, for us.
