You're perfectly entitled to your opinion. You have the full right to indulge in whatever you find enjoyable. I might enjoy fine wine and you'd rather indulge in Maddog 20/20 instead. There's nothing wrong with that.geier said:
Wasn't that in the Fallout Bible which was essentially notes written by someone at Black Isle in case someone else took up the franchise (which happened)Rem45 said:

, I agree with you sir!)It was pretty damn doomed. It's not an uncommon thing in the gaming world, a great game comes out, and a sequel is announced. Every fan expects the original game but way better (somehow), but you better not dare try anything new. When they get something different, tempers rise quick. People just can't accept change (not just with gaming, either). I hear people bitching about how super mutants aren't all green, and how there are so many feral ghouls and I laugh sadly, then I feel like crying over these pathetic nitpicks. Yes, Fallout 3 is different, yes the dialogue isn't perfect, but compare it to most AAA titles these days, and really THINK about the amount of content that is in it, and how much time and work even that took. To make sure everything is convincing and Fallout-friendly would have taken so much longer, and frankly not been worth it to most people.Imbechile said:
The problem with bethesda is that they forced dates on black isle (a company founded by the interplay employees who created fallout), a company that simply wanted to make fallout, the way its meant to be, while bethesda proceeds to attempt to sue them and interplay for undermining what all of a sudden bethesda thinks is their child not the creators. not the point, but fallout 3 was more of a mess than New vegas, at least new vegas tried to capture the feeling of the originals. yes this is out of context but I miss when it was borderline pen and paper, because you at least had time to write a story.Gazisultima said:It's scary when your name is actually Gary.

I enjoy Fallout 3 and I enjoy New Vegas. I agree that New Vegas feels more "Fallout" and without a doubt is funnier, but that doesn't make Fallout 3 bad. In fact I think it's awesome. The RPG system works, and before anyone complains, it works fine. You can't shoot for shit at the beginning, but as you level up, it becomes easier, and enemies go down quicker. That's pretty RPG to me. There was a lot of exploration involved. Every location has some backstory if you actually take the time to look for it. The characters are interesting and varied to the point I actually care about them as people (but yet again, New Vegas wins on the character front). I think Bethesda did a cracking job considering they needed to bring Fallout into the modern market. If you went into Fallout 3 expecting a similar experience to 1 and 2, you're a moron. Bethesda isn't at your beck and call, they needed to make a game to corner as large a market as possible so they could continue making the game. First and foremost, they are a business, so of course their game isn't going to be made to your expectations as a fanboy, since you're a tiny part of the market. Their plan worked, because Fallout is now miles more popular than it ever was. That's because it evolved. It changed. I can't believe how opposed to change we are as a consumer base. It's ridiculous!
