How can such a small fatman explosion generate a mushroom cloud? 
To quote wikipedia:
Not to mention that these mushroom clouds usually are 3 km tall...
Another thing I find quite strange is the ways the bodies fall apart. I wonder why the hell are they showing off the bloody mess perk. Perhaps the normal deaths aren't looking alright either, so they use it as an excuse? Also the slow motion animations seem to get repetitive quite soon. I hope they can be disabled.
And what's up with the audience? They sound like their IQ is far below average, wowing at all the deaths and stuff. Is that the audience they're targeting? I see why they're trying to extremely simplify all the mechanics of FO 1 or 2. The combat looks far behind from average shooters and why didn't Todd show off any of the social interactions? It seems so far that the game is all about running around and shooting at people pointlessly.
After seeing the videos, I am extremely unimpressed.

Even if he had that on it is still way to much.
If i remember correctly Bloody Mess in Fallout 1 and 2 didn't mean that, if you shoot someone's head off the legs and arms will get blown off also.

Just saw this, and my god, I thought they were going to start fapping each other.

haha
probably the only perk they implemented properly
...umm scratch that
I do say the lock-picking sounds interesting, although I think it's a bit of a copout that you can't brute force open containers.

Dont get me wrong, Im not defending it. I was just listing a possible cause of why bodies were exploding from one normal bullet.
Personally I feel the effect is lazy. Its basically just segmented joints that go flying off at the exact same places, like Legos, every time.
Guess it was to much work to mix in some solid death animations alá Fallout 1&2 with the ragdolls? Then we would have some variation and not just retarded slomo ragdoll ballet.
To be fair, in Fallout 1/2 you could blow a fair chunk of someone's torso off with a good critical from even a small caliber handgun. Of course, while that's certainly over-the-top and not realistic, it was fun and looked good. The deaths in these FO3 videos just look absurd and are poorly done, and shooting someone in the head having the effect of making their body roll around awkwardly with the limbs spontaneously coming off is just in a whole 'nother ball park. You know, the ball park where the brain-damaged kids hang out.CrazyGorila said:
Bethesda has become one of the worst developers in existence based on these videos, in my view. Yes, really. I guess I just must be whiny though. I mean good god, what the hell is wrong with people who criticize shitty game design, right? To be good people we should all be wearing shit-eating grins and ooooh-ing in delight at the mere sight of Bethesda's brilliance, just like the audience in that video...
That's about the best description of the gore in FO3. It just looks so... I dunno, there's no good word or phrase for it except god-awfully stupid.13pm said:
Great.
People will think now bethesda made Fallout series.
That's just fucked.
And, Todd was explaining how Perks and Skills work, and those two guys were so excited about it like they thought bethesda have come up with all these ideas!?
This is the example how people can be easily brainwashed. Something like if Chinese government would lie to their citizens that China invented internet!? The same thing is now with beth and FO.
Heh, when I saw Enclave coming in, I think I would start shooting at vertibird, not fucking waiting for soldiers to come out from it to kick my ass!
Then I thought
"How do they look? How do they look??!!"
and then I saw FOT:BoS power armour
"WTF??!!"
They are changing this game completly! Is that legal??!!
They bought the franchise and decided to make their own Fallout? So basicaly they've got the franchise just for the name "Fallout" to make a cash-up game so beth's name will be louder?!
Fuck that! I'm not buying it!!!

This probably isn't the last we've heard from Bethesda this week.Garsty said:

Also, if they had learned much from making oblivion and reflected on that experience while making fallout 3, I wonder how did oblivion turn out... 
(I have never seen (except from that social interactions demo on youtube today, which I didn't finish watching) or played it, and so far from what I've seen in fo3 trailer, I'm quite glad I didn't get to try it).

I'm fairly certain that the audience is actually an audio track.

Its upsetting, because in many of the stills, I look at the graphics, and I think "yeah, if I was to imagine Fallout in 3D then thats what I think it would look like" and I get excited, because I would like to play the Fallout games in First Person 3D, because I like the immersion it provides.
But the gameplay, oh Lordy no. Just no.
Teddy Bears = Bad
Fatman = Bad
Vats = I'll reserve judgment, but I'm not liking it so far.
I see the Health points and Actions points on the screen (I'm hoping AP is actions points, and not Armour Points, which would be lame...) Which is encouraging. (however if AP is armour points, I'll puke, because that just so Doom/Quake/Reurn to Castle Wolfenstien... )
So, thumbs up for graphics
Not so much for the rest.
I want to see character interaction Damnit!!!!

That's what I thought.BReal said:
They want to make this game for commercial success only, so they picked up all "cool" stuff from the previous Fallouts, which for most of the gamers are "cool" and "awesome", to make one, big "cool awesomness".
Have you people noticed that?
But, to make my comment more possitive, so some people wouldn't be complaining about usuall criticism for FO3, I can say I would buy this game, if it wasn't tittled "Fallout" sequel.
Because, take it seriously now, what did they use here from the previouse Fallouts? Of course, we still haven't played it so we don't know everything about this game. However after this gameplay video, we can say a lot, and I'm guessing only 10% of the game's system will be just like in previous Fallouts. So if they would take that 10%, they could have done their own game without messing up Fallout's name!!
But, positively:
1. I like the graphics
2. Exploring destroyed city, every building of it, is what I always wnated to do in the games
3. It might be a good FPS
Only the 2nd might convince me to buy it. But I won't in respect for the Fallout name.
Public said:
Me too and I also liked it in Stalker. BUT: If you have to fight your way through every building you enter if you just want to explore it, it only sucks.
