Also, if you haven't tried Branston pickle yet, what's wrong with you?

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....
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.
You can go into third person view.MolotoK said:I'm not complaining about thinks like the first person view
You can play it just like the original Fallout games.or the strange combat system
No better or worse than the original Fallout games.but about things like the incredibly bad writing, unbelievable characters
It has markedly more freedom in the main quest than the original games did, and a feck-ton more in the secondary quests. I don't ever recall a moment in Fallout 1/2 where I could nuke a quest hub.and missing freedom of choice (the main quest has NO CHOICE WHATSOEVER right until the last 30seconds of the game.)
Indeed, the ending was a huge let down and didn't even make sense given who I had with me at the time...Volucer said:I agree with the review, only part I didn't like was the subpar ending.
You say you aren't complaining about the first-person and then use the "hurr Oblivion with guns" comment to sum it up. Can't have it both ways. And since you are complaining about the writing, characterization, and freedom of choice (oh I'm sorry was choosing to blow up an entire town or not choosy enough for you?), then ultimately your complaint is that it isn't Van Buren.MolotoK said: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.)AceDiamond said:Yet another person who couldn't let go of the fact that it wasn't Van Buren. *rolls eyes*
All the strong points of FO1+2 are gone and all thats left is oblivion with new textures and guns.
If I've sussed Yahtzee's playing preferences right, he probably would've gotten frustrated with Fallout 1 and 2's slow-paced combat and the way your followers tended to keep shooting you to death all the time and gave up before he could see those games' many good points. (Not that follower AI is great in FO3, but at least my best friends aren't constantly "accidentally" emptying an SMG into my rear end.)imbaczek said:if you really haven't played fallout 2, then i kinda forgive for this review. now go play it, coz now is the time and you're several years behind.

Your asked to go into a radioactive area to push the 'end game' switch - or you can ask the lady with you. But for some reason, not the radiation proof super mutant with you... :| :\\
