IGN plays Fallout 3 too

;)

yeah, practically this wouldn't be possible with THAT kind of weapon and that kind of fucked up aerodynamics, as already mentioned
 
Wow. Just when you'd think the game couldn't be more messed up more info comes out taking the game to a new low.

Does this look like something anybody could enjoy for more than 5 minutes?

No, what really makes Fallout 3's combat so badass is the creativity that Bethesda has worked into the battlefield. Take the Rock-it Launcher, for example. [...]. One of the most enjoyable moments I had during the entire demo was stuffing the portable mortar with a bunch of stuffed teddy bears and decapitating angry mutants with them. There's also the very entertaining option to use the Power Fist melee weapon that pretty much decimates its target into itty bitty pieces because of its unstoppable blunt-force power. The biggest hit of the day, though, was the Fat Man -- which is essentially is a portable nuclear bomb catapult. Fire this baby off and there's likely nothing left of your opponent afterwards except the miniature mushroom cloud.

Too many gimmicks even for a FPS, if you ask me.

To sum up, Fallout 3 looks and feels exactly what you'd expect a hybrid of Fallout 2 and Oblivion to look and feel like. Even after an hour of play, it's more than evident that it's as deep as the ocean, handles responsively, and brings enough fan-service from Bethesda's two franchises to make it a strong contender for the best RPG of the year.

But why expect Fallout 3 to be a hybrid between Fallout 2 and (mostly) Oblivion in the first place? Also Fallout isn't Bethesda's franchise.

About the deep part: Yeah, decapitating orcish (banana coloured?) super mutants with teddy bears fired at supersonic speeds from the Rock-it Launcher, a weapon made from useless junk, is very deep and not juvenile at all...
 
Should you ever run out of ways to attack, the environments in Fallout are there to help you. The tube-like Preservation Centers, for instance, can be found scattered throughout the planet and provide items you can use to heal or attack with before your next big battle.

What the hell?

Remember when I mentioned a while ago that those tube/coin operated Fallout shelters sounded like the regeneration tubes of Bioshock?

And that is not a good thing you ass!
 
This is my favorite line from the preview, regarding Oblivion:

So if you didn't like that game, or the series for that matter, then ignore everything I've said thus far and go read something else.

Ok then. Oblivion with guns it is.
 
* Lady Killer: 10% damage against female opponents, plus unique dialogue with them as well

I sure as hell hope they have a male equivalent to this, something like "Man Eater"...something. If not, this is just furthering my notion that Bethesda is full of misogynist fan boys with no taste. Mr. Todd Howard included.
Fallout is not about giving one gender a statistical advantage over the other.
 
I wonder if there's anything we can actually thank Beth for.

Liam Neeson and Ron Pearlman kick ass so :clap:
 
This is all a sick fucking joke, right?

Teddy Bear launcher that decapitates people? In a Fallout game?

The reviewers seem to LOVE that it's "Just like Oblivion", when they should be pissed.

This game is turning out exactly like Bethesda said it WOULDN'T, and now all of these worthless game reviewers are going to just let it slide, and not call them on this bullshit.

Is there one person paid by these corporate jerk-offs that can just tell it like it is?

They have raped Fallout.

I think the criticism will come after the release of the game. or maybe not. Usually in previews about big titles those idiots are always hyped and always praising everything they see. Corruption.


Now, about the teddy bears; Can they really decapitate my head from my body if traveling at high speed? and what speed exactly are we talking about here? :/
 
So, is it just me, or does the "power armor" have totally exposed wrists? So much for power assisted carrying of that huge minigun. Not to mention the snapping of your wrists if you fire it.

Oh, and also so much for any kind of serious NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) protection.

God damn Bethesda and their god damn suit of plate armor. Why cant they get anything right? Its always a few things that stick out as wrong in everything they release. Im thinking this wrongness ties back into their obsessive compulsive need to put their "own" mark on things.

Edit: Good lord, looking closer it seems hes just wearing black leather gloves as well...

Relativistic speeds, apparently. The Lorenz factor is over 9000! Dodge that bear!

Thing is, most mainstream media think that Oblivion is the best RPG in the history of gaming, so they have no reason to be pissed. Nor do the majority of them care about the original Fallout games.

Sure... *


*with two caveats, first you need to keep the teddy bear together during the stress of acceleration. Second the teddy bear needs to hold together against the drag from air resistance. Teddy bears are not noted for their material strength however. Which is why tanks fire Depleated Uranium core rounds and not Teddy bear core rounds... :D
 
hmmm
solution = depleted uranium teddy bears ?

ayways, its apparent to me that they never aimed to be correct, but cool, for some bizzare definition of coolness that only todd himself knows ...
 
2 things

1. the perks look really boring. no unique advantages, just adding a few points to the stats.

2. they seem to have implemented their governing skills, as in morrowind... i dont know how i exactly came to that conclusion.

teddybears in railguns decapitating sm? possible, if theres a vacuum around. otherwise questionable -> aerodynamic drag
