I am just wondering because there's only a few people that I would trust in giving an honest review of Fallout 3 and a few people from NMA are in that group. I know Brother None isn't going to get the game, but isn't it worth getting to do a review on? Come on, don't bash the game without even playing it. I'd like an in-depth review from this website from a couple of its frequenters, or maybe multiple reviews. Thanks!
Will Fallout 3 get a review from NMA?
- Thread starter Yellow
- Start date
I might get the game thanks to an NMA user funding me doing so. I won't be reviewing it, tho'
NMA will do an impressions piece shortly after release, but we're not going to fully analyse it within a week. Instead, the full review of Fallout 3 - penned by Vince D. Weller - should be up about a month after release.

I have to say - i am looking forward to it, very much.
Very much.
Haha.
Hahahahaha.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Yes, yes indeed.
I know I was going to review it for my own website.
And actually aim for a review that didn't devolve into a random string of expletives and crazy hobo-styled ramblings.
I can be stable and objective when I feel like it.

Hey, I'll have you know I just wrote an article for them detailing the rape of the Virgin Mary.

I've got the game through a friend of mine already if you have any questions about it ill answer them through email Ryuga@live.nl.
well, if you grab our Leipzig piece from last year and analyse those points we made back then, while putting them aside the user comments made by people who played the leaked version (or watched the streams), you'll have a pretty fair image, i think.mortiz said:
and euhm, you can already guess what the Codex is going to have to say about Fallout 3... if you follow their advice, maybe you'll end up buying it for lulz, but not for being a Fallout.
PS: i like the Codex & i'm a member there, this wasn't meant as criticism about the Codex. but it was like someone went to ask PETA if he should buy a new fur coat or not.

I for one would love to see an honest review from an actual fan of Fallout. But from what I have seen of the game (f3) so far the review would probably be dripping with venom...

I'm probably gonna write up a review of it a while after release. I'm a huge Fallout fan, so it will be from that perspective. if anyone cares, I'll post it here.

It isn't Fallout so you're not reviewing it as a Fallout? The game fails to deliver on what it claims to be so you - as a reviewer - will lower your standards to match what the game ends up being? That must be the worst reviewing attitude I've ever heard.

It should be judged based on the totality of the original Fallout games. I've seen precious few direct Fallout 3-to-Van Buren comparisons; those that have popped up have only been to compare the cheeseball storyline to that of VB's possible storyline; not without its share of goofiness, obviously, but not to the degree of "What?!?" in the FO3 story line.
If you don't know the story line yet, seriously, look through the thread on the News Comments section talking about the leaked FO3 YouTube vids. Spoilers start around page 10 or so.
As it is, as a Fallout game, Fallout 3 really really sucks. And even as a follow-up to Oblivion, it doesn't seem that good. Even the reviews that have come in with "9 out of 10" have talked about the lackluster AI, dull environments, poor dialogue, etc.
So, just talking about it as a Fallout game: it's bad. Van Buren was certainly going to be much better, and acting like all the posters around here are doing is comparing FO3 and VB is... at best misleading.

Dude. Seriously?
Is this to keep a clear conscience ("I am not giving my money to BS, dawgunnit!") or do you simply enjoy leeching? You can't possibly be that poor, right?
A review one month after release would be the appropriate way to handle this abomination.

VDWeller is doing the review one month after release, but I know people will be expecting more from us and sooner.
My conscience is barely bothered by giving someone money for a product. It's more that I probably won't enjoy the game that makes it such a dubious purchase.
