Oh oh.. I got this.meinsla wrote:Wow. Someone never installed any mods or even tried GECK.
I found the best mod was the uninstall button. Worked wonders.
GECK was the overall objective of FO2, how does it relate here?

It's set 3 years after FO3, so no Harold.Yonmanc wrote:
Apart New California Republic, the fact the city is all lit up (an indication that society is getting back on it's feet, following on from Fallout 2), no doubt an inclusion of Harold (this is set before Fallout 3 right?), no doubt a Dogmeat, some recycled plot elements, mentioning of places.
Not to mention that most of the sales were actually on platforms that don't allow mods.King of Creation wrote:That's the thing though - we shouldn't have to install user made content to make the game good. The onus is on the developer to make it a worthwhile game to play.
This hurdle is only in some people's minds. I didn't find many problems with Fallout 3 and, overall, it is a great game, with or without mods, and very fitting of the franchise.hecatepremium wrote:I think the hurdle is the 2d format was their bread and butter and the art team behind 1 and 2 really knew how to design stylistic pre-rendered backgrounds that suited the narrative and world of the game.

I really don't know why there's so much hatred from forums like these; It reminds me of a group of old men sitting around in a retirement home talking about how the much better the "good ol' days" were. An earlier post even paints people who liked FO3 as idiotic 'l33t' kids and those who prefer the older games as composed and urbane, when the reality is that loud, rabid posters come from sides.

I'm old in gamer age, now. I'm 30. I'm not saying that you're old. I'm saying a lot of the conversations sound like what old guys talk about with their rosy-colored glasses on.Amis wrote:There seems to be endless posts (first time posts mind you) about how we are old people sitting on are chairs and complaining why the fuck can't we bring out are opinion about how the fallout fanbase got fucked over FOBOS and completely ignored in the creation of fallout 3 and while fallout 3 is playable it still comes out as a bland and boring experience, all you do is walk the wasteland choosing either to BLOWUP THIS HUGE NUCLEAR BOMB WITH A FATMAN!!!!111 OR choose to save the town and everyone is happy and ladidaa witch in the end doesn't even matter cause nothing changes everything stays the same. You have absolutely no effect on the world it just feels empty, the dialogue is well shit and the characters are not really that memorable exept that they all have the same goddamn voice actor. The combat is too easy and could have been looked into more.
Fallout 3 is playable but its just not as creative as the originals.
STEEL BE WITH YOU!
Relax, I am one of the "old fogies" who played the games when they were "'badass fot their time." However, I understand that games will change with technology, culture, tastes, economics. There seem to be many people in this and other forums who had many unrealistic expectations. I know that you said that you didn't want the same old 2D game back but there are many who did and still do!Dogmeatlives wrote:The problem is these dudes are coming here with no sense of how badass the first two games were FOR THEIR TIME. I was not satisfied at all by FO3's gameplay, story, etc.. the shit was weak as hell. Yo and why are these punks dissing us for criticizing the game's weak points? It's only through criticizing that we will have a better Fallout experience in the future. We get nowhere by hangin' off their nuts.
And we are not a bunch of oldschool complainers who want our 2-d turn-based shit back! Many of us are avid gamers and we do dig alot of current shit. The problem is that when you compare FO3 to current games it doesn't even hold up.
Character animation- sucks
Voice acting- laughable
combat- headache enducing/boring as hell (poikemon combat is more engaging)
storyline- find your dad/save the water (boring)
morality system- naive as hell
We only criticize because we want improvement for our SIXTY FUCKING BUCKS!!
If you don't like our old man ways get the fuck out our retirement community.
First off, as far as I could tell, this is a public forum not a forum for those who agree with your opinions on the series. Second, while I can't talk for the rest of the newcomers, I was civil when posting. Third, being in your own forum doesn't automatically make what you say correct.SenisterDenister wrote:I'm fine with new people coming here, but where the hell do they get the clout to tell us on our own forum that we're wrong and stupid for thinking the way we are? Seriously, that'd be like a foreigner moving next door and telling us our customs are wrong and we're retards because they don't match theirs back home.
If I had written an article that horrible and you posted it for the world to see, I'd ask you to take it down before I embarrassed myself further, too.King of Creation wrote:Had to take the scans down. Oh well.
On its merits, we don't like the game.
