Duck and Cover

Like I said, I can be cynical, I just think the fanbase has got that covered. As a fantastically awesome games journalist, I feel it my solemn duty to offer differing viewpoints for your discussion and deliberation.

you dig?

yeah, true enough.

<strong>[ Game -> Preview ]</strong> <p>Read 'em <a target="_self" href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/11/joystiq-impressions-fallout-3/">here</a>. Not much new stuff, but here's what there is:</p><p> </p><blockquote><ul><li><em>The two-headed Brahmins make a return, and Pete Hi...

He got paid, and bought two needlessly massive cars with it. Somehow I find that depressingly

Interesting. VATS doesn't sound too bad in this preview.

just had a thought though - this megaton thing. Will it be possible to do all the quests there, THEN go to the guy and blow the place up, getting access to the other place? i.e. get the best of both worlds?

hope not.

At least I'm not French?

Ok, I've sold my main sound system, got rid of most of my CDs, and my music library is basically electronic and on my ipod right now. I'm after a decent sound system, not too expensive, to use with it - an ipod docking bay. Can anyone recommend one that's good value for money? I'll be moving into a ...

Games journalism is really in the gutter, but I've known this for a while. There are a few possible exceptions - maybe Edge magazine (though I haven't checked it out recently), for instance. Oh well. That's what fan forums are for, and, erm, <a href="http://mrteatime007.blogspot.com/">blog...

If he's overworked he should probably delegate... We have other newsposters. It's just that, well, as you can see, 90% of the news is posted by one guy. Always on the lookout for people who'd be dedicated newsposters, so feel free to volunteer. I'd post it myself but am on a Mac and the DAC news fo...

Well, king's not the only newsposter around here. It's just, he kind of does most of the work :| Which sucks, but, you know... at least he has the honour of running the place and being the head. Actually, I keep bugging DU for a user submitted news system where we just click 'approve' and the thing ...

I dont like the bad and good ways. Give me morally justifiable reasons for doing all different sorts of options, please. And if there's one feature I wanted scrapped fom the previous games, it's the karma system. It flies in the face of the whole moral ambiguity thing, having a 'good' and 'bad' rati...

So, I don't have time to read through all these previews and stuff, but it seems isometric viewpoint is possible and the game doesn't really look that bad? Game length might be a problem - 20 hours + 20 in the hype mght mean shorter time. But they really seem to be trying to get this game 'Fallout'....

I reckon it's because he works for gamespy. He needs somewhere to vent his self-loathing rage.

But remember Fargo told us to 'wait for the announcement' years ago when he first got the licence. So take this comment with a pinch of salt...

<strong>[ Game -> Update ]</strong> <p>Ok, so all those questions that people asked Matt Miller of GameInformer to ask Bethsoft have come out. You can read them <a href="http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/fallout3/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-36173560&pid=918428" target="_self">over...

I find it distressing that they are discarding the fanbase in this way in favour of paid suckup exclusives to magazines. It makes me think their target audience is perhaps not us. I dunno. But nice newspost, King. Maybe someone will take notice of it... is NMA gonna put up something similar? Codex t...

I did listen, and I knew for myself. But as I said, I'm generally against banning/asshatting. But this particular spate of verbal excrement was the final straw.

Wastelanded til further notice. Trying to screw with someone's personal blog to make his life annoying - you do that simply by posting

Fuck our petty rivalies. Its time to fucking go to war against bethesda. BTW, make sure to troll http://www.ashleycheng.com/ Blog of a FO3 producer.

On the other hand, there are some (unsupported) quotes from Todd Howard in Game Informer that do lend some hope - such as one quest path will cut off others - and Vault Dweller skips on these. No doubt he would claim that Bethsoft made the same claims about Oblivion... I didn't skip on these, and I...
