Fallout 3 has come and gone, OXCGN writer looks at the Fallout history and provides some thoughts on what has changed and what is the same with Bethesda and Black Isle's rendition of the series.
"Black Isle's Fallout games were extremely unique and unlike anything the gaming world had ever seen. Only bankruptcy stopped Black Isle from creating more Fallout games, but luckily Bethesda stepped in and purchased the intellectual property (IP) to save the Fallout series.
So now that Fallout 3 has been released, how has it fared in keeping to the canon of the Fallout series that was so brilliantly implemented by Black Isle? "
Magic: The Gathering – Fallout is a new take on the TCG inspired by Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Falllout 76.
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
These are the worst guns in video games. Unlike weapons that are useful and practical, these only take up space in your inventory.
This is ONE game I've wanted from the get-go, and it looks like I won't be losing out when I do manage to grab it. Looks and sounds fantastic, and from all reports from those who are spending time on it, unlike those that tried to rush through it, it's giving them an experience they haven't had in a LONG long time.
Now that is what I like to hear.
BUt it's also interesting to note (see) that the game definitely has an older demographic, with many younger gamers ditching it in no time, while older ones are prepared to devote the time required . .Yes, you DO have to walk, and it DOES take time. This is a game that doesn't have magic and portals to move you across space and time . . It's a "real game"
Black Isle wins, end of discussion. Seriously, Bethesda's Fallout is a good game but it can't hold a candle in face of the TRUE Fallout games made by Black Isle.
By the sounds of it, I really need to play Fallout 3. I wonder what other hardcore Fallout fans think of Bethesda's adaptation?
Well since I've never played the originals, and Oblivion was the first game to get me to play an RPG, I'm thinking this will be excellent when I get the chance to play!
Killing children? I think the author has been out shopping during the Christmas season hearing too many whiny kids! LOL
More sex...that would be a shocker for my wife or kids to walk in on. "Dad, what are you doing in that game?" "Umm...my character is massaging that other girl character...she has sore shoulders..."
I really should play this game. :(
From what I hear, this is going to blitz any "RPG of 2008" categories, in fact, I feel sorry for games like Fable II...
