Another crappy gaming "journalist's" impressions of the game.

My favorite line:

"trying to stay true to the original vision of the first Fallout game from 1997 while also including all the improvements and open-ended exploration of its last game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion."

To add some flavor, here are some comments posted after the article:

"This looks like a futuristic oblivion! Since it is made by bethesda it will definaetely have me emptying 60 bucks from my pocket when it comes out. Looks amazing!"

"This is like Oblivion meets Resident Evil, meets Gears of War. I cant wait!"

"It's funny, I think. To say it's oblivion with guns is just a very high compliment in my book. Oblivion is the best rpg made to date. I would hate it if this is just another fps like any other, but seeing what Bioshock did with the fps genre, moving it closer to rpg... I hope that Bethesda does the same thing in the other direction."

"Dude this game will totaly rock, i hope there is gonna be an online option. DUDE THAT WOULD BE SOOO COOL!"

"if RPG's move away from being games based soley on stats and towards something greater than the sum of it's parts isn't that a good thing"

Very informative.
I actually found the comment below to be both meaningful and intelligent while true to the topic.

"Looks awesome! BTW is GTA4 going to be released for PC???"

There's some more enlightening comments that have been posted since, and I made the mistake of actually trying to argue with the frothing masses.

So apparently I'm going to go "get over myself" as per the advice of the droves of pre-teen graphx whores who wouldn't know a good game or a RPG if it shoved its giant black cock of awesomeness up their collective asses.

oh...jesus.

You know, on an advanced engine, a 3rd person rpg fallout game would have potential. But there seems to be some kind of trend with absolute douchebags being put in charge of the creative responsibilities... to the point that you can assume they've never even heard of fallout prior to working on it. That's my hypothesis of how Fallout:BOS on the Playstation sucked so much ass, but as for right now, I'm hoping that they really, really try not to fuck over Fallout yet again.

Another failed Fallout title will cause more riot in the Fallout community than the religion riots will in 2012.

Hopefully it will at least be possible to glitch the sandbox

Morrowind rapes oblivion's mom.

F3 is actually starting to look quite good. Though i will remain a skeptic till the bitter end.

IMO Bg1,2 and IWD > torment, did not like the way the fighting system worked the rest of the game and the story were obviously better then IWD and BG

I do have to agree with one of the posts I saw on the website, that said "Though it looks like it'll remain a bleak atmosphere (which is good), it seems as though they aren't keeping with the dark humor aspect of fallout, which was one of the greatest parts."

Anybody can make a place look like absolute shit-- which helps set the mood, no doubt-- but fallout's uncanny ability to make you laugh at gruesome or even depressing things was one of the main selling points. If they get rid of it, you can be damn sure shit won't feel the same
