PC Action Germany reviews Fallout 3

I'm not exactly sure there is any manipulation going on.
To do so, on this large of a scale....would take way more money than Bethesda has.
The conclusion I have reached is that the people at Bethesda, and the people in the gaming press are on the same frequency when it comes to games. A frequency, I don't really pick up.
I think that's a more logical conclusion to reach than "Bethesda has tricked everyone".
Basically. I'd go with Hanlon's razor on this one.
Also. Another thing to add would be the role of the fans in this type of thing. I think the fans reaction to any negative word about any game, plays a role. I'm not sure of how much of one. But the devotion that people have to video games, prior to their release, is unlike a lot of other things I have seen. Except maybe devotion to a sports team. So I think a lot of fans love seeing that 9/10 - 10/10 type scale. Until of course, they move onto the new flavor of the month.

Give dese people air!!
The bullshit move was pirating the game and puting it on torrent which is a slap in the face to all the people that worked on making this game a reality.Brother None said:
I have no problem with game companies doing what it takes to protect their interests. Nobody is forcing me to pre-order the game. I can easily wait until a month after release when a number of post-release reviews have been done.

Incorrect. I'm not an expert on the game industry but I do work in the game media and have talked to quite a few people on this subject. Bethesda certainly does not have the pull of an EA, but that doesn't mean their PR tricks don't influence reviews. See my earlier post.

Indeed, and I'm not contesting that.
Q said:
If you mean in fighting piracy I agree, companies have a full right to do what they want. That doesn't mean I can't criticize them for pulling things that simply do not work, such as intrusive DLC or these stupid pre-review in-house plays.
If you mean in manipulating the media then sure, they can do that, but I sure as hell don't have to approve of it.

First time out of the vault
maybe the video game companies need to pull all of their money to make a special hotel type building in which reviewers could come and stay(which prevents piracy)but the game company wouldn't beallowed to stand over ther shoulders the entire time.

You can talk Burke out of wanting to nuke Megaton, but it takes a high-speech skill and feminine wiles?
That's not bad at all.
It's a bit exclusive (woman + certain perk), but yeah, it's cool that it's there.
The more options, the better. I love RPGs where you can suddenly discover new paths with certain character makeups.

Eh? This is pretty much the only clear-cut examples we've seen on this in the game.
I think you're going a bit overboard with the fanboy act here. Being a fanboy doesn't exempt you from having to make sense
After read that all prewievs only one is clear that game is condemned to full succes - Bethezda marketing doing greate job.
But if that game is Fallout 3 ?
Im not sure of it, just not sure at all, when i saw that movies i just say "what a hell is this is this a really Fallout 3?" - now i know it isnt - and never be - this is just another copy of oblivion nothing more nothing less - and players are only a milk cows B. only want to get our money rest is a silence
Good Bye Fallout R.I.P
That game will take all highest marks at all
10/10
100%/100%
Bethezda will take care of this

I'm not being a fanboy! If you read my other posts you would see that I admit FO3 has faults, and a true fanboy would never do that

I admit to the faults in MGS, but I'm still a huge MGS fanboy.
Pointing out faults doesn't mean you aren't a fanboy.
In this case however, it's odd, as FO3 isn't out yet, and you seem to love the game an unhealthy amount.

It's because I love Oblivion so much! I don't usually say this, but I'm actually pretty positive that I WILL love it.

How so? He loves Oblivion, so he's probably going to love Fallout 3. Seems like solid logic to me.
He has been spamming his happy glee a bit much, but no harm no foul. If it bugs you, just ignore.
