Sorry wasn't sure where to post this, since Fallout is no longer an gamesas game. But this is a better forum to ask this than the Xbox forums for Fallout 3. How do you all feel about Fallout 3? Will buy it? Is Bathesda handling the game properly? I am bit leary about spending 60 bucks on the game. I mean it feels like a Fallout game.I just have a hard time accepting it as "Fallout 3"..It's like Fallout BOS it's a Fallout game, but doesn't fit into the series cannon and really isn't a direct sequel. I tend to just call it "Fallout" because it seems like more of a reimagining or revamp of the series than a sequel.

First and foremost, I would not like to see the Bethesda/FO3 topic discussed here. This is not really the right place for that discussion. You should try NMA or Bethesda's own site.

Personally, I have the deluxe edition of FO3 on order from Amazon. I can't wait for my PIPBoy clock... ^_^ I think Bethesda has done a tremendous job with the marketing, and, frankly, I'm jealous of what resources they have put into FO3.

As for the game itself, I'm reserving judgment until I get a chance to play it. Videos and images aren't enough for me to make a decision about gameplay... I need a hands-on experience. I am looking forward to playing FO3 as soon as it comes out.

Straight from the horses mouth as it were. Sorry for posting this here, I was just looking for another opinion. (That wasn't from Bathesda fans. :p) I won't say any more about it here. (I'll try NMA, thanks.)
Sorry again.

I don't like Bethesda... I hope Fallout 3 won't be an Oblivion with guns. Todos esos momentos se perderán en el tiempo... Como lágrimas en la lluvia. Es hora de morir.

Hmm good responce.

Im curious... V13 project... V for Vandetta? lol
Seriously though, good luck with it all!

I`ve also got the collector`s edition preordered, I think Bethesda is going to put a great game. Based only on the video`s so far I think it retains alot of the great orginal elements but with a new style. it looks great

The xbox 360 version has already been leaked 3 weeks before release is that a new record or what.

Bump.
I felt the need to bump this because the game has already came out and also a lot of people got the leaked version of the game (I don't know if it's any different from retail)
I've played Fallout 3 on Xbox and finished it (by finish I mean did the main quest, there is not such thing as "finish" fallout game). I think the game is not bad, but I was expecting more from the game then I got.

People!

Let's approach this question from different angles.

1. Chris Taylor will promote FO3 no matter how horrible/great it is. gamesas sold the IP to Bethsoft holding back the rights only to a FO mmo online game. If the game is released, Beth will receive a percentage....gamesas will not take kindly to people cursing Beth for screwing up Fo3 here, because the two companies have some mutual interests.....

2. Fallout 3.

This is a personal opinion. If a company decides to create a sequel, it involves two things : 1. The company relies heavily on the success of the predecessor's and expects a boost of income. 2. If it is not a spinoff but a SEQUEL the company should make sure that it remains true to the originals.

In my opinion the real problem was not the modification into fps but the titling of the game. It made no sense. Their primary platform was the XBOX. The question arises: how many XBOX user's are familiar with the original Fallout which date back to 1998..... Two things follow from this : 1. Fallout 3's sequel nature does not appeal to XBOX users because they do not know what Fallot 1-2 was 2. Beth surely made sure that the old fans will not be satisfied with the new changes in gameplay and looks...... This way, the number 3 was not necessary from one side (console user) and was absolutely harmful on the other( old PC Fallout fans) Had they decided to do a spinoff, things would have been different.

I myself find it difficult to understand that those people who are sitting there doing their job, earning great salaries were not able to see this.

Fallout 3 is a great fallout game, but NOT a sequel!

1. I'm not going to promote it. Period. I won't say anything bad about it, if I don't like it. If I do like it, I'll say so in nice general fanboy-ish terms (because, you know, I am a fanboy, too), but leave it at that. Yes, I am playing FO3. Not enough hours yet into it to make a final determination.

Let me be clear: I don't say crud about other companies games (I will say crud about games I worked on that are deserving of crud. MAX2, I'm looking at you.) I will happily celebrate good games (as we all should). Bioshock and Portal are both excellent games, and I will climb the mountains to say so. Excellence should be noted. At the same time, FO3 is not our game and it's not our job to promote it.

2. I really, really don't want talk about FO3 here. This is not the appropriate forum. I'm going to lock this thread and I'll delete any others.

Thanks!
