New poll: Did you buy Fallout: BoS

Didn't even know that POS existed before I joined NMA. After reading some of the opinions of NMAers I'm glad I never heard of it. I'll probably try FO3, but will wait till I can buy it secondhand somewhere... and then sell it again.

But imagine if it did! :shock: Maybe they could make a new attachment for the Wii! :P

Yes, I have a 360 so who the hell cares about specs! *dance naked*

Dancing naked is optional, but I recommend it.

Here's a customer that would be happy to try out the new controller. Being naked is a good start! :P

dancing naked is about as intelligent of an action as can be performed by an xbrick owner...

I have a wii.

You don't see me making a fool of myself claiming that it's the bees knees because it can run shinier dumbed down games than my computer can.

My 5 year old computer can actually run a quality FPS game.

They don't even make one of those for a console.
 
Lol at the controller thing :oops: But yes to the Xbrick comment, I was merely stating that basically, I have nothing to worry about when it comes to running a game. I buy a game, and straight out of the case I know it's going to run. That was intention of my comment towards Per's post. He mentioned about how some computers won't be able to run it and I just said that I really don't have to stress myself over those kinds of issues. The dancing naked part was a bit over the top, but I still recommend it <_<

I also enjoy PC gaming on the gaming rig that I built with these beautiful dirty hands. Man it was so stressful after I was reading how a zap of static electricity can kill some computer parts. I was touching the metal part of the case like a madman.(and probably producing more static with my constant movement lol)

I have an Xbox and don't consider it in competition with the PC, but rather a different form of entertainment, like how a book or movie is different to a game. I use the PC for games like Civ, and use the Xbox for mindless shoot-em-ups.

Agreed. I couldn't run Half-Life 2 on my PC (which is a laptop) but have no problems on the Xbox. There is some piece of mind knowing that you can buy a game and it will run ok straight out of the box.

I disagree, but each to their own. Some of the earlier FPSs were awesome on the PC (Doom etc), but I'm still enjoying games like HL2 and FEAR on the Xbox.

So.

If I recieved the game as a gag gift from a friend who wanted me to write a review of it because he was aware I would hate it and therefore the review would be funny as a result...

What would that qualify as?

Oh, did I mention I'm IP-banning anyone who votes "yes" in that poll?

Just an FYI.

...That's why I couldn't reach the website earlier...

Purchase BOS... No, not I. Not even when it was in the bargin bin for a few dollars... It wasn't worth my time or $5.00... Or mental anguish.

I'd like to think Beth's FO3 would be worth my bargin bin money... But that is for time to tell... As well as when we determine if its a more worthy product than BOS.
 
I was very curious about the game and my brother had a ps2 back then .I bought it for 10 euros from a second hand shop,played and finished it on my brothers ps2 and then sold it to the same second hand shop again !
although i really hate bethesda's Fallout 3 and curse them everyday,and also hate fallout Tactics ...i must say ,i liked fallout BOS . not like Fallout 1 and 2 but it was still a fun hack and Slash RPG and it had a lot of funny dialogue options .i know ...it sounds stupid and strange but between all the fallout spinoffs (Tactics,beths f3 :mrgreen: ,fallout POS)i must say that i enjoyed playing fallout POS whether you like it or not !
so short said : it was a good "Spin off" !
 
No, I did not purchase POS because if I wanted random thong compilations and hardly any plot, I would watch r'n'b videos.
 
* Looks around *

Brother None, if you dare to ban me I will haunt you in RL for a long time to come.

* sight * I have a confession to make, I did actually buy FPOS because despite all the bad talk (which I completely agree with) I was curious about this monster * ducks to avoid tomatoes *.

The evidence that something was wrong become very apparently when I started the game and got an intro that was a mishsmash of Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics.

It continued when I was first introduced to the leather strapped lady ("Huh? How did they come up with that one, its not even functional."), and later Armpit and that hooker which pretty much set up the atmosphere of the game.

The most worst must be that conversation between two Ghouls in which one tells that his balls dropped off and that he wants some help with finding them.

I actually finished this thing and I wonder how the hell they got Tony Jay to voice in this.
Save to say I got rid of this thing rather quick.

As for Bethesda's Fallout 3, well I seem to have a thing for pain.
If this actually gets released (perhaps a miracle will intervene) I will give it a try when my library has it, just to see how wrong Beth got Fallout.
 
I'd like to see a "bargain bin" option added to the poll, as it would help a fraction of the minority that did actually plunk down money on the thing save at least a modicum of face.

Personally, I only bought it on the insistence of the notorious Orderite Azure Stone, who happened to phone me up while I was standing over a GameStop bargain bin and, upon my mockery of the game, assure me that "at five bucks, it's worth it."

I didn't play past room one in The Brotherhood's hyper-robotic holographic noob training complex extraordinaire before walking away in disgust. My only solace is that since I bought it used, the unprincipled and unrecognizable usurpers that were passing themselves off as Interplay at the time didn't see one red cent for my pain.

Wii owners, on the other hand, have a special trait that enables them to make sex with their socks.

OR they can get an extended wiimote and use it as a virtual wii...
 
The beauty of Fallout BOS is that it is actually only a half made game, and you can tell when you are playing it.

All the characters are essentially exactly the same, even though the character descriptions say that they can only each use certain weapons. Also, their abilities are essentially the same as well.

Really, the game was actually one of the worst games I have ever played in my life. It literally was only halfway finished being made, as most of you already know.
 
I sometimes see Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel in a local gameshop near where I live. I pick it up, look rather closely at the cover, and then quickly leaves in its place, especially after I have read what the story is all about.

Basically, you play as the Sheriffs of the Wasteland, hunting down supermutants and killing them etc. etc. In between this it at least stound from the description on the cover's backside that you do some [hilarius?] quests and stuff helping people get by in the Wasteland. That said, the visuals look pretty decent, I think, however, the story seems only to be half-baked and I don't really buy into the whole BoS being boy scouts or sheriffs wandering the wasteland, or the cities for that matter, looking for evil supermutants to kill.

I wouldn't even buy it when & if I got an Xbox (360) or a PS2...
That's my point about this game...
 
I tried it on a xbox. Ugly, clumsy game, absolutely awful. Worse than I thought actually, would never buy.
 
Petition for one more option in the poll.

"I have the Mental Block perk. What was this poll about again?"

And yes, it really sucks that I had to take the Mental Block perk. I hope you can get two ranks (hello, Fall 2008).
 
It wasn't worth my time or $5.00

Ebay, doods!

You can constantly find it there for as low as 1 penny/cent. And believe me, nobody bids on those auctions.

So, if you have that itching horrible curiosity - curiosity that destroyed relationships, marriages and even lives - then by all means, go get it!
 
I really don't like 90% of console games. I have a PS2 because someone gave me their old used one, and it sits there on the shelf gathering dust most of the time, except when my roommate is playing Monster Rancher. Never played or rented BOS, so I don't even know what it looks like.
