Okay, I only read about four maybe 6 pages of this thread before coming down with the case of the giggles. Everyone here fails to realize there would be on continuation of the fallout series without fallout 3. It brought fallout into the 21st century it allowed a new age of fans to embrace the fallout universe.
Why should the fans of the old Fallout games want a new fanbase?
It made sure the fallout name wasn't scraped and forgotten.
It wasn't scraped and forgotten. People are still working on mods like killaps Restoration Project almost 12 years after the release of Fallout 2 , and I doubt we have to thank Bethesda for that.
Have you forgotten that fallout 1/2 came out over 10 years ago? This game from the 90's needed to be transformed into a PROFITABLE sequel. Meaning it wasn't aimed at the small international fan base but a larger(newer) audience.
I would be fine with that if Bethesda wouldn't turn Fallout into a FPS without any soul, pssing on the Fallout universe.
Van Buren although would have been a fanboys wet dream WOULD NOT HAVE EVER BEEN AS PROFITABLE AS FALLOUT THREE.
So it's more important for a game to be profitable than anything else? Aha Bye!
At least the spirit of the fallout games lives on.
It doesn't because of Fallout 3 and it's great community. You can bet your life on it!
Oh and another thing most people born in the early and late 90's ever heard of the fallout series before fallout three came out.
Again. Nobody needs them.
eh and "oh!" another thing I forgot. The person who said Fonline was better than F3 must have been snorting something, I mean damn xD.
What the fuck has FOnline to do with Fallout 3? If you mean Fallout, yes. It is cleary better than Fallout 3 if things like story, atmosphere, characters and so on are important to you. And where are your arguments here? "Durp, Fallout 3 is so much better, lolz xDDDD"
For those completely playing out of V.A.T.S. and saying this game is all "just blowing off random heads". I have to say one/few thing to you..."Critical shot to eyes".
Ehrm, yeah. What do you want to say? That you can kill the master with a critical shot in the eyes out of your 10mm pistol or that Fallout 1/2 is the same gorefest as Fallout 3? I mean come on, look how the body is exploding if you kill someone with a normal pistol.
Now to the actual arguments.. when facing large amounts of enemy there is no way in hell you will be able to kill them all(except for the grim reaper perk but it's agreed that it needs to be removed/nerfed) without using the FPS perspective of the game. Hell I played most of the game in FPS(except for certain death claws and enclave shootouts >.>)
Oh rly? At the end I had to fight HORDS of mutants and enclave soldiers and It was pretty easy. (Yes, on hardest difficulty)
Sure the combat became easy after you made your combat build and had fucking fawkes destroying everything that so much as bumped into you but then again you only get fawks late into storyline. If anything I haven't seen someone say anything about the combat when they raided the yao guai cave for that bobble head. This game was dynamic in the way it let you choose how you wanted to engage the enemy you could instally go into vats and pick them off from a far or run up to them and unload your clip into their faces. Maybe It's just me and 4+ million other people but I don't see anything wrong with the combat. Oh the majority of gamers today would never as so much as touch a turn based roleplaying/action game.
Thats because the majority of gamers today want to kill hords of critters so they can ROFLCOPTER their asses of. Look at some of the Mafia II reviews. "Too much focus on the story. No multiplayer..." Come on...
Dialogue & story
Here I can see your arguments because it was rather dull and lacking in the creative department. I give you this win.
So you admit Fallout 3 has a shitty dialouge and story and you still think it is better than Fallout 1/2? Aha Bye.
Largely I've seen mass hate from this game because this game wasn't an isometric graphic game based off over hyped idealized demo. oh please pardon any grammar mistakes i wrote this late at night.
There is mass hate from this game because they treat it like a piece of shit. They took the universe because they are too lazy and too avaricious to think about something own and turned it into a loveless FPS without any soul or background story. We don't expect a turn based game with isometric view, but a game which sticks to the Fallout canon, has a good story, atmosphere, characters and dialouges.
