but the monkeyish shit like fucking tool's singer appearing on posters in F2 is appropriate?

No, it wasn't cool. That's exactly why Bethesda tried to sell copies to FO1 diehards by claiming they were taking the "referential" humor out of fallout 3.

Then of course, as we all fucking know, they projectile shit all over the franchise with non-directly referential british comedy characters inhabiting the entirety of the eastern seaboard, pocket nukes ala MDK and flaming swords.

At least the referential comedy in Fallout 2 was constant. It wasn't (imo) the way to go with a dark video game, however it was the tone that was set. They picked their path, and went balls out on it with every area in the game having tons of references.

I don't recall them ever once having a press conference where they explained the limitations of their reused game engine by claiming that eye and groin shots are too "humorous" and then including the fucking toaster from Red Dwarf in every goddamn room.

Ummm, I'm frightened to post in this thread now.

But I liked the ability to build your own weapons out of scrap. Except the portable nuke launcher, that's just juvenile.

I like the radio station idea, and the addition of actual realistic radioactivity (which you can remove by drinking water). Erm, okay.

I'm trying to be positive here.

Tunnels and a metro network sound good. "Corpses Eaten" has a lot of potential.

And last but not least: RON PERLMAN, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

Actually, I think you get it from drinking water, not the other way around.

Didn't they also say you can remove rads by drinking and eating food? I may be mistaken, but I thought there was some silly way of quickly escaping from radiation.

There's no real need to be positive. I mean, does anyone go, "At least that plague brought down property values!"

No.

As for Ron Perlman, his speech that bethesda wrote is fucking stupid. So it's like having a celebrity who's voice you love guest star on the simpsons, and then having him get hit in the groin for half an hour to the rate of the nails being pounded in the series' coffin by the shitty writing.

well the second game was rather different in tone, so is bethesda's.. output. or shall I say outpuke?

I didnt intend defending bethsoft, fuck no thank you grantly. when it comes to their decision to modernize fallout, I imagine sphacelated fucking Mickey Spillane trying to rework "The Name of the Rose". anyone with at least a pocket doll representing 5% of human brain know how much fallout3 will be sophisticated swell guy-laden shit-intense unimaginative suckfest aimed at "orlando Bloom is so hot I would just die if I ever meet him cause he is so sexy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" auditory.

and yes, fans must be vocal.

and yes, if I ever meet Pete Hines feeding himself in some cheap coffee shop, I will sure as hell tell him: you fucking slavedriving homunculus, plague on you and your big nazi evil pigmobile house. back in 2007 AD, you sir were the biggest mercenary son of a bitch in the whole gaming industry err. so let me wrap you in the united states colors and fuck you right in the ear.

then i'll buy me some donuts

good points... I kinda believe that Emil - having all that Thiev experience - will make non-combat solutions to quests.

it's STALKER, not Fo3 and it's vodka, not water.
