Fallout 3 Last Impressions

Since Bethesda decided to make Fallout 3, we figured we might as well have a forum about it.

Well.. my biggest problem with this whole shitsandwich is that beth dont really have to learn from their mistakes. They get so much praise and ballcradeling by every fucking gaming website out there. OOOH SHINY!!! So why the fuck should they care, they sell games like a motherfucker and slowly rape the corpse to death, and when they are done they chuck it in a ditch and find a new victim. And all the gaming mangs will go OOOH SHINY! again.. and again.. and again..

It's not only gaming mangs, looks at this:
The Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences (AIAS) has announced their 2008 Interactive Achievement Award nominees. We were excited to learn that Fallout 3 was nominated in eight categories, including the following:
Outstanding Achievement in Gameplay Engineering
Outstanding Achievement in Original Story
Role-Playing Game of the Year
Computer Game of the Year
Outstanding Achievement in Game Design
Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction
Console Game of the Year
Overall Game of the Year

The AIAS award winners will be announced at this year’s D.I.C.E. Summit on February 19th.
You can expect fallout 3 soon to win award for curing cancer...

Well, to be honest, I dont really mind them winning awards for the purely graphical part of the game. But "outstanding achievement in original story" is as close to blasphemy as you can get without.. as you said, claiming the game cures cancer.

The gaming industry is more corrupt than all other media and entertainment industries combined.

We'll never know until it happens
Sure we do. It's about time consumers started learning from their mistakes also, especially when the devs refuse to.

I mind. The graphics were terrible. FO3 doesn't deserve any awards.

I've been having a ball today at their forums tormenting a bethsoft fanboy. I'd forgotten how fun it was. I think the amount of enjoyment that Fallout 3 gives me can not be measured in game, but rather what it allows you to do to others on the internet.

This was already discussed in another thread, but who's going to compete? There were what like... 2-3 memorable games in 2008 (except that I cannot remember any of them :drunk:). The gaming industry is on it's way of hitting the all time low.
As a gamer I've had to change my strategy from digging out the gold from the new releases to digging out the gold from decade old releases.

The decade old releases are looking MIGHTY fine.

A +1 for Fallout 3 is it's looking like the DLC packs are ridiculously easy to pirate.

Not liking the game is an OUTCOME of REASONS. The correct statement is "You guys don't like the game."
