Zero Punctuation: Fallout 3

[JohnSnake]

Nice review, Far Cry 2 next please? ;>

Not the most amusing ZP ever, but not bad. I disagree with some of his points on Fallout 3, I didn't find the scenery at all monotonous, and saw little to no real similarity with Oblivion (except the 3-D, first person aspect). It seems that often what Yahtzee is complaining about in a game are things I really enjoyed.

Wait what?

Good game, good review, same old bethesda

You got 2/3 right

 

[AceDiamond]

Has Yahtzee ever played the originals?
I guess he didn't, because then he wouldn't compare fallout 3 to Branston Pickle.

I expected much more of a bashing for FO3 by Yahtzee.
It's probably the most disappointing game in the last decade or so and definetly the worst sequel ever made but no reviewer seems to notice....

Yet another person who couldn't let go of the fact that it wasn't Van Buren. *rolls eyes*

While I disagree with Yahtzee on a few points he does have a point that a lot of it does get monotonous at times, hence why i spend a lot of time picking a direction and exploring. But V.A.T.S. still never gets old. Plus I liken it more to having spontaneously generated the ability to transform into Cleric John Preston and go all gun-kata on people (ok so I stole that from one of the designers who described it that way on the Making of DVD but whatever).

Really hope Bethesda figures out their uncanny valley problem because he's very right about that.

Review far cry 2 next?

That won't be disastrous. Oh wait, he called Fallout 3's environments monotonous...

I'd like to see LBP or Resistance 2 but I'm expecting Gears 2.

 

[Ranooth]

Wooooo! Stealing things from NPCs FTW!!

 

[Spinwhiz]

Did he....did he actually like this game? Wowza!

EDIT: I personally love this game...at least the 10+ hours I've put into it already.

 

[Mr BeAsT]

Hah the same happened to me with Far cry 2. I've had that games for ages too and still haven't gotten far, because of all the other games coming out ie. fallout 3 and now left 4 dead.

*eye roll* Someone made a strawman

 

[Rossmallo]

I'm surprised...Knowing how similar it is to Oblivion, I had a horrible feeling of impending doom, but...he said it isnt bad, which was utterly shocking o_o But i gotta agree with him, it gets a BIT monotonous, but i didnt mind that. However, i gotta say, im surprised he didnt complain about the retarded point-of-no-return ending...THAT pissed me off. ><

 

[Wilhem]

Great Work as always!

 

[Eruanno]

Best. Beginning. EVER.
Didn't fool me though! No, no. Never.

 

[Azzaevil]

nice way to start this episode haha good reviwe

 

[MarkusAurelius77]

The review was funny, I'm surprised he didn't hammer the flaws. i enjoy the game, am still playing it, but it's far from perfect. Still, yahtzee's reviews are definitely a midweek highlight...

 

[TommyGun465]

"Fallout 3 that is"!
That was awesome. The beggining was great aswell.

 

[Mirokunite]

I agree with the Far Cry 2 thing Yahtzee.

I got about half way through before Fallout 3 showed up at my front door. Followed by a few other games. So really its just sitting there waiting to get played.

I'm not complaining about thinks like the first person view or the strange combat system but about things like the incredibly bad writing, unbelievable characters and missing freedom of choice (the main quest has NO CHOICE WHATSOEVER right until the last 30seconds of the game.)

All the strong points of FO1+2 are gone and all thats left is oblivion with new textures and guns.

 

[jewru]

LOL, that was awesome, one of the best yet. i liked fallout 3 , but i did notice it had some weak points, like the copy pasted train station tunnels . i was hoping Yahtzee would do fallout3.

 

[Greyhawk]

Hurrah for the return of Branston Pickle. I wonder if the Universe would end if you spread it on Fallout 3? Would it be awesome?
