I'm the exact opposite. I only steal if the owner of the house has been a real bastard to me. Fortunately, Oblivion had enough a-holes in it to let me finish the entire Thieves' Guild quest line. Anyone remember that annoying nobleman in Skingrad?needausername said:
I agrea with this review alot. Lol they did a better job on it but at the same time the change did go out the window very fast. It is good I will say that. More or less you just try to stumble accross stuff. I do agrea the ending was bad. I mean it was not a fall out ending at all. 1 and 2 we super this was good. My biggest problem with it was the lack of them massive play back. I mean this one has non of the oh you make you character wrong so you will loose half the story type play. I do say it still fun even though about 3 runs through the game will be most likly the end of the play back abilty this one has.
AUGH!
My heart, my heart! *thud, falls over, dead*
*scrittering sounds as rats come in to chew on the body*
. . yeah, on second thought, I wouldn't bother to review Farcry 2. It's so monotonous and sadly pathetic that it'd be like kicking your dead dog around the room.

I'd just like to say that mixing turn-based and real-time combat doesn't always turn out horribly, just look at Valkyria Chronicles. Then again, those are two very different games. I'll shut up, now.
I have no problem about this game not being Van Buren, I do have problems however with this game completly raping the Fallout franchise, having the most awfull combat ever and having completly atrocious dialogue, this game is not a FPS/RPG, it more like some strange mix that uses only 2/5 FPS, 1/5 RPG and 2/5 suckiness.AceDiamond said:
So are you saying 1 and 2 are better than 3 or not. I haven't played any but I would like to start with the original, lately I have appreciated the classics more because gaming is not what it used to be.derpa said:
We decided to be more positive Yahtzee? Finally a game that doesn't sound so messed up! I research either way, I'm a Yahtzee fan but I don't follow 'yay' or 'nay'.
Hooray for the support of the Fallout series! Excellent description of the game and criticism of the odd unreal qualities Bethesda seems so fond of. I was wondering if he'd like this game and the fact that he does so cheers me up - and not just because I consider his words gospel.
And huge points to self-reference in flying off on Branston Pickle circa "No More Heroes," the Captain Picard notice circa "Oblivion" and another mention of "Mankind is Yet to Recognize My Genius" circa "Saints Row 2."

Agree with the VATS "problem" altough it pretty fun to watch ppl blow to little bits 
it does make the game super easy, a super mutant might be mildly scary if you couldnt stop it in its tracks and take a nice aim or two ^^
I dont get why they made a fps view then not have you doing the shooting i may have worked better in oblivion acctually were i always thought the fighting was about pressing attack enought. O well good games anyways
As for the issue of playing the other fallout, they are so far back in time and technology that a player should enjoy it without knowing about the others.

Was I the only one who thought the opening of this review was kinda blah? I mean, the joke is ancient. It's been around as long as there have been reviews. Or movies. Or radio programs. Or basically anything that has an intro and an outro.
No big deal, though, I was just surprised at how many people are praising it here. Overall the review was very good and funny, as ZP reviews usually are.
I don't see the VATS system as a problem, btw, since you need action points to use it and you can only get a couple of shots off before they run out.
