You don't learn anything new except the "Rock-it-Launcher" is more like Half Life 2's gravity gun than ever.

Don't forget he downplays any sort of plot branching or missing out on any content due to character choices as a "bad" thing. And he also basically confirms Megaton as the "Fargoth's Gold" of Fallout 3.

That, and it seems like VATS is the crutch for people who suck terribly at Bethesda's excuse for "action" as opposed to serving any sort of role-playing function.

But still, G4 is pretty dumb, so he might just be saying what is marketable to them and lying through his teeth.

I want to crush the interviewer's face in with a super-sledge... :dance:

It's obvious that this is mainly an FPS. Does anyone ever think to ask Toddy " Whyat made you decide to take the Fallout series into the shooter genre?"

I enjoyed the Faollout battles because they were at least somewhat strategic. This is just twitch gameplay, oh but there's also slow-mo mode for the idiots..er... i mean the fans.

This game sounds like real mediocre shit. Well that's enough with the dead horse kicking for one day.

Hey guys, let's remake TETRIS to a Fligh Simulator and ignore the people who loved tetris the way it was back since 1985, because they're swell guy and they live in the past.



Coming soon:

Chess - Revenge of the King.

19 weapons, high end graphics, based on the classic game CHESS.

Tetris on a rollercoaster = Audiosurf.

Except that was kind of okay.

I've already played Stalker.

Don't know if I want to play an RPG version.

Oh...


yeah I do.


But can that really happen?


Just a few months to go.


Then the fire.
