with new vegas?
Isn't it just going to be the same fucked up piece of chit as FO3?

If not, why?

Yes and no.

Yes in that Obsidian has to work with the POS engine that Bethesda used for Fallout 3, in all of its buggy glory.

No in that it will probably be much more of a roleplaying game than Fallout 3. Obsidian seems to be implementing a bunch of system changes/additions that will make Fallout: New Vegas a better RPG experience (although they will still have to deal with the FPS aspects that Bethesda implemented)

I think it's gonna suck. I doubt Bethesda are giving them as much leeway as they're letting on. As much as we all want an Falloutish rpg experience, Bethesda also want to make money. They've got a bunch of new fans they have to keep impressed, they're not going to risk those fans wandering off by changing how the engine is used. It's gonna be a shoot em up, albeit one with interesting dialogue. Shoot em up with iteresting dialogue? Try Interplay's Kingpin, that game was brutal!

Seconded. Kingpin was awesome.

Kingpin was fucking amazing... Also: runs well in xp(and vista if i recall) but has issues with a widescreen. Worth a replay/first play if you never played it.

I'm honestly wondering if Herve is going to try to bring it back...he tried in 2004 with all the financial bullshit. The draw factors are still present, so who knows.

So it'll be shit, but kingping was aye ok, tho' it might be good if you like obsidian.

Have they done anything good?
I once played kotor, but it was quite crappy, might have been them I suppose.

KOTOR 1 was by Bioware (correct me if I'm mistaken), but Obsidian made the sequel KOTOR 2. IMHO, the story, characters and general immersion were better in the sequel, although it was a lot buggier and had some (combat-related) balance issues. The choices you made weren't as black and white as before either.

This shit's going to be balls.

I appreciate them finally adding food and water meters to cover up the horrible fucking healing garbage beth did in oblivion 2 (without having to go so far as not having shitty fucking working drinking fountains everywhere and shit), but it's like stapling closed a paper grocery bag that has ripped open from someone puking into it.

Am I happy that some oldschool black isle guys are getting a little money on any project? Sure. Does their involvement mean that any game they work on isn't going to be yet another kotor clone mixed with the small town carnival quality fucking bullshit that bethesda stuffed their "fallout" with? Fuck no. In fact, because it's been mutated from that absolute pig shit, it's going to be a different and specific kind of fucking crappy. Enjoy Fallass Effect 3 boys.

Just re-installed it. Forget how much of a bitch the guys with falmethrowers are icon_sad

Seeing how FALLOUT 3 wasn't shit, I guess it will be mainly the same.

Fallout 3 rocked, dog.

Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 3:40 am

Oh god, another one. How many is that now?

There was
1: Connor
2: That swell guy with the anime avatar

Seriously, am I missing anyone else from the last few weeks?

Edit: Flower? Really? Is the F word so bad?

I might try and play Fallout 3 again. Surely I'm missing something.

Ha ha you funny.

Yeah, you haven't lived until you've seen some of the worst digital puppetry this side of someone running a game of Rifts for their penis and testicles using a fresnel lens so that they can "See the players reactions".

lol ftw.

I don't understand what you guys have against Fallout 3. I rather enjoy it, and have logged at least 250 hours into it. My main problem is that there is no challenge, or items that actually give me a sense of achievement.
And, y'know, I always feel like I'm cheating, for some strange reason. (X360 version)

It's probably due to the fact that comprehending anything diverging from your own opinion is far outside the grasp of your level of your mental development.
