Its really unfortunate that people think games like F3 are amazing. if only they could have experienced some of these older games they would have been blown away and realize how much better the old ones really were, and that these new games never do the originals justice. People will never go back and play games like baldurs gate/fallout1/2 etc because of the bad graphics and slower turn based gameplay. If bioware/interplay remade these games with a few adjustments, they would crush every game that has been out in the last 5 years. Especially since the vast majority have never played them. Those games were nothing but gems. | ||

F3 was just a shooter with some pretty graphics and slow motion dismemberment for the console kids.

Fallout 3 wasn't about impressive shooting game mechanics but about story and rpg elements, to me Fallout 3 will always be about exploration and adventure not about combat that's always secondary. | ||

What did you do in fallout 3 just click past ever form of dialogue to finish a quest. lol if you don't pay any attention to the stories in the sidequest or main quest all you're doing is griding in a rpg which isn't fun. I mean you can fuck around with people and crap but if you're not paying any attention to the story you might as well open up one of those physics maps in crysis and blow shit up. | ||

Oh, you think I ignored it? No, I endured every painful second of Fallout 3's terrible, terrible plot. | ||

Yeah, helped me a lot too. It completely removed the lag that appeared when I was near any NPC. The game is playable now. | ||

Vegas on the other hand actually feels alive. Every place is connected or affected by the places around it and the stuff going on around it. The map and locations make sense (the old highways are a very natural touch that links things). The way the factions are set up mean you have interactions with nearly everyone from the get go. It actually feels like you're doing stuff around the wasteland and becoming this famous figure around all of the wasteland, instead of woop, local hero at this site, time to move on to the next one that acts like they've never heard of me. vegas actually brings back the feel of a good solid story-driven rpg. One where what decisions you make and how you go about it mean so much more than how good you are at fighting stuff. First game in awhile actually wish i had put more points into utility skills and not taken 2 weapon skills. | ||

I have an image macro that sums up all of the flaws without ever mentioning Fallout 1 or 2, but unfortunately I probably can't post it here, so let me just recap: The engine is buggy and quests and NPCs are poorly coded which results in hilarious situations, the FPS elements are completely awful (lack of iron sights, baffling nonsensical aiming mechanics, etc), the RPG elements are completely awful (you can fire nuke launchers with 1 STR and talk coherently with scientists with 1 INT and CHA is basically completely useless, you can win back all of your karma after blowing up Megaton just by giving water to the homeless guy right outside), the dialogue and writing were completely awful (par for the course for Bethesda, actually), the animations were atrocious and everyone walked around like they were on valium. Even Tim Cain (guy who made Fallout 1) agrees Fallout 3 was a complete disgrace to the name of Fallout. Which is actually a shame since Fallout 3 wasn't awful, just thoroughly bland, and if it was a completely new IP unrelated to the Fallout series, it probably would've been a lot better in terms of creative freedom, instead of taking a nice steamy dump all over the existing Fallout lore. Now, New Vegas comes a lot closer to Fallout 1-2 than 3 did and is actually a very impressive game - this is what Fallout 3 should've been. Completely agree with that guy though that someone should make a full, new engine, faithful recreation of the Fallout/Infinite Engine games. There's some fangroup remaking Baldur's Gate 2 with the Dragon Age toolset, last I heard they were progressing pretty slowly though. | ||
