Impressions thread for positive impressions

If you can't make decent animation then why insist on making the game FPP? Ironically for Beth it seems that 2D iso sprite based game would actually help their talentless team.
 
Playing Gothic 2 now, and despite the archaic graphics, I think they do a lot better job of conveying the world than the segmented animations of Fallout 3.

Third person in all Beth games is unnatural looking and awkward. It's like as if your character is floating above the ground treading water.

Thats because... and this is going to come as a revelation to you... Bethesda designs their RPGs with a focus on first person perspective! Gothic is designed specifically to be played in a third person perspective... of course they are going to suck ass when played in camera angles they weren't really intended for.
 
Rubbish. Segmented awkward graphics of NPC's are the same whether in FPP or third person. They were two separate paragraphs. Whether Bethesda focuses on first or third person, the character animations are the same shitty ones.

Can only agree.

even if the game would be only in first person you still have to see the bad animations on the NPCs. Frankly they dont "slide" sideways ... but still is only mediocre compared to anything else out there. Even Jedi Knight 2 had already the same level of animations ... and that game is pretty old by now. In some cases even surpass it with the well done lightsaber fights.

That wasnt my point. You said they don't play well in third person mode... I am saying, no shit they don't because they weren't designed to be played in third person mode.

Dude, First Person or 3rd Person are just perspectives. The perspective doesn't change the NPCs or PCs animations, and I think animations for NPCs and your PC are the same in Fallout 3.

Yes they use the same sets of bones and animations. From what I remember anyway about reading what some modders wrotte.
 
Hrmm. Are we even comparing Fallout 3 to the old Fallouts anymore, or are we just comparing it to contemporary games that we already know suck ass?

Anyways, I'm not the memberating type but I just have to get this off my chest: This is a thread reserved for positive impressions of Fallout 3. If you want to share you negative impressions, there's already a thread (and an entire forum at large) reserved especially for that.

Sorry, I'll shut up now.

(Fallout 3 is fun.)

Yeah but the Bethesda hate just spills into every thread (even my thread about the game's music). IMO, the mods need to start taking a harder line with it.

I prefer sex.

So then we will shut up?

As do I, friend. I hope you can say the same about Fallout 1 and 2, though.

And no, I don't expect anyone to just "shut up"...I just wish such opinions were expressed in the appropriate threads. Some of us here truly appreciate this game in our own way, and everyone should recognize that it's futile to try and change our opinion...just like it's futile for us to try and change your's.

Cool?

As you say that with that signature you call your own ... well I know its not "blatant" offensive ... but its extremly borderline in my eyes at least.

Fact:

Fallout 3 does not need your approval. I'm sorry.

Towards who is that directed anyway?

Exactly. Why can't they just accept Fallout 3 is Fallout 3 and not visit the Fallout 3 subforums if they don't like it. They're worse than Jehovah's witnesses insisting everyone convert to their view of things.

Even if it's only borderline offensive to you...why? Do you feel that your opinion of Fallout 3 makes it a worse or better game in my eyes, or anyone else's? That's what my sig is directed at: not towards any particular person, or group of people, but the idea that this game needs the approval of the original Fallout fanbase to validate its existence. It doesn't I'm sorry.

For what it's worth, it's not even something you have to think about.
 
...but the idea that this game needs the approval of the original Fallout fanbase to validate its existence. It doesn't I'm sorry.

and exactly this kind of statement is it that makes it borderline in my eyes.

People have most of the time valid concerns with the game that constantly get ignored by a lot of people who think "we" as Fallout fans should just enjoy the game.
