Played podcast

[Per]

Fallout 3 is covered in episode 43 of podcast Played, from 12:08 to 19:08. They talk a little about "media fatigue" and preview overlap and their verdict of the game is basically "looks bland but plays well". One guy addresses the "Han Solo problem" in a way I very much agree with: it's only a problem if you expect a game to provide meta-rewards for abstracted playing styles, which goes against the idea of role-playing your character being an end in itself. As podcasts go this one isn't so bad, though at one point someone starts laughing under their breath while someone else is talking, I mean, that's just rude, isn't it.

The "looks bland" bit seemed to be more in reference to how it demos in a compressed timeframe and not so much graphically. I believe they said "it does look really nice" when they were discussing their hands on impressions.

Nice is bland. In the cutthroat world of next-gen graphics you need stunning to rise above bland!
