I know Fallout 3 was a letdown compared to others but was still an amazing game. I mostly like it because of the modding capabilties and how flexible it is. Can't wait for New Vegas or an elder scrolls V for that matter :)
How so? As an FPS title, it was mediocre at best, and as an RPG, it was abysmal. I don't see how you get amazing out of that - but speaking of modding, has anyone managed to mod it into something resembling an RPG?
....well give me your defintion as an rpg. If you argue that one of the top ranking rpgs is not an rpg, then you should have your reasons ready.
Sounds like a pretty clear "no" to my question of whether anyone's modded it into something resembling an RPG. Oh well. What a waste - hopefully Obsidian will be able to create something useful with Bethseda's shitty engine.
Sounds like a "I just jumped on the bandwagon and says what a few others say without really knowing what I'm talking about". Perhaps if I knew your reasons, then I would know what mods you would be implying.
It's an exploration game, duh.
Someone's defending Fallout 3? Ban with prejudice, lock thread :mad: :down:
I got bored playing Fallout 3, it took me much longer to get bored with Bioshock, now I'm bored playing Torchlight.
Boring!
How can you not get bored with a linear game like Bioshock? Fallout 3 has so much more replay value than most things these days. I still fail to see the faults of the game (maybe except the leveling and skill system but not a big deal)
So young, so much to learn. :sour:
Bioshock was more interesting and for a while had a story that I wanted to hear/see the rest of, Fallout was just plain boring from the beginning.Quote:

You know, the fact that Cain is excited about playing Barbie on a computer screen is maybe a little sad.
They make girl games for that, you know.
I like Fallout 3 :D
(Disclaimer: Never played the first two.)
That said, it's review scores are higher than personally would give.
The combat is just not terribly fun, (felt the same way about Oblivion.)
Nice graphics, rich gameworld, love the setting, exploration is fun...but yeah, combat.
Can appreciate the reality of degrading gear, encumbrance, and scarcity of items, but none of that is really fun..*shrug*
Spent a lot more time playing Borderlands, which isn't anywhere near as deep, but...well, it's fun. :)
Next thing you'll tell us you didn't love System Shock 2 like most people love nutrition :(Quote:

Hmm..I thought it was rather boring the first time I played through but the more I played the more I discovered that was worthwhile doing. Plus all the amazing professional looking mods out there that really enhanced everything. Maybe thats the key to why I enjoy it.
Never played it.Quote:

Can appreciate the nuances of such details, but will ultimately never enjoy them as much as the more thoughtful gamers.
Sorry, I'm shallow :)
My only complaint is that it has the same enemy leveling as Oblivion. I preferred Morrowind's where there were areas you'd get your ass handed to you if you weren't at a high enough level, like the Daedric ruins. Open worlds are great, but I like the satisfaction of finally being able to go somewhere that was too dangerous before. The D.C. Mall was the only area that came close to that.
Enh - it was just so boring... and all the engine bugs really fucked up even the FPS aspect of the game, so... no, craptastic. Nothing like working yourself into a perfect sniper position behind a bunch of rocks, carefully positioning yourself so only the barrel of your rifle is visible, lining up your target for a perfect headshot... and then having the bullet somehow hit the rocks (6 inches behind the end of barrel), alerting the whole fucking mass of enemies.Quote:

So no, it's just awful, awful, awful.
I said it was the best thing about the game, not that it was enjoyable, per se - like the best thing about drinking piss is that urine is sterile, so you won't get diseased. Damning with faint praise and all that.Quote:

What the hell does that even mean?!?!?
It their engine that's so shitty it doesn't properly differentiate between free space and solid objects close up, causing your bullet to hit the rocks the barrel is resting on top of. In other words, the barrel of your gun passes through the solid space occupied by the rocks, but your bullet does not. Yippie, shitty code!
(Every other FPS I've played since about 1995 :p has fixed this issue, as not to make their code look like it was done by rank amateurs.)
So you tried shooting through rocks...see where the proublem lies?
No, you dipshit. The polygon drawing routine is so crappy that solid rocks aren't visible up close.
Well then I believe you have a proublem with your graphics.
No, it did on occasion appear to show a straight line between your gun and target only to have the bullets hit some bullshit in the way.
Worse is when you do it in VATS mode and you have to waste an entire clip on some funking rocks before dropping out and (usually) having yourself raped by the 300 things that can now see you.
Yes, exactly. Was I unclear about that or something?Quote:

It might be entirely natural for some people.
Invisible rocks as natural? Hmm. Does sound like a novel murder weapon, I'll give you that. :oQuote:
