Another Look at the Fallout 3 Debacle

A response to the backlash of outcries to "How Bethesda Butchered Fallout 3." With a shift on the game's perspective and gameplay, Fallout 3 will be fundamentally different from the first two iterations. What does this mean and what can be done?

Hopefully people that try defend that "change" that is being made to Fallout 3 on this thread will AT LEAST know what the hell they are talking about, know what is Fallout, know what is being done to Fallout 3 compared to the rest of the series an please for the love of God at least try to pretend to even slightly understand and not completely miss the point of what REAL Fallout fans...you know people that have actually played the games are commenting or complaining about before blindly attacking them

cuz last threads MASSIVE amount of clueless counter arguments and blatant bashing against the actual fans that have played the games was simply SAD and it only proved that you didn't have to be remotely familiarized with a game not even play it to defend a change you don't understand and tell the actual fans what they are suppose to think, want and feel -_-

and remember compared to the last article this one you HAVE to actually read the WHOLE thing and not just assume what it is about before attacking others :)

I believe the game is going to be great based on what I know about it. But it is NOT a true Fallout experience due to the first person view and no turn based combat of the first two.

But I am not going to complain too much. Because I still think this game will be more fun than you can shake a stick at.

I think they're changing it in the same way they changed Oblivion. Oblivion, when compared to the other Elder Scrolls games, is actually a fairly casual RPG, and I feel Fallout 3 might be heading in the same direction. Because of this, I felt that Oblivion was a huge letdown, just not for those with no prior experience of the series.

I myself hope this isn't true, as I'm really starting to lose my patience with videogaming as it stands today. Now, even the most hardcore of games are opening up to embrace the casual player, which I feel is going to ruin gaming for everyone. If it's not a "casual" game, it's a 4-hour long campaign mode with tacked on multiplayer that "makes up for it". It's just ridiculous.

Oblivion was a severe let down for me as well. After reading what they're about to do to the Fallout franchise, I'm getting a deja vu feeling.

I prefer RPGs to be turn-based.

JsonHenry6567d ago

I thought Oblivion was okay, but not great.

I miss the old Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall days. Even way back in 1997 you had a BIGGER world, more options, more weapons, more powers, and even the ability to sneak into peoples home and stores after dark to steal their stuff and load up a wagon (yes, a wagon!) and head to the next town to sell all the loot you just stole! Werewolves, WereBoars, and Vamparism were all things you could catch. You could scale walls, levitate, and jump really far too.

All things that made the game great that Oblivion could not seem to do on modern hardware.

The more fallout the better BUT

this game is a radical departure from what the fallout series is!

As i said before You wouldnt call Final fantasy tactics FF13 and this should not be called fallout 3.

I picked up the fallout series re release at EB the other week, playing through brother hood of steel and fallout 2 again... good times!

Mr_President_6567d ago

I don't even see this as a true Fallout game anymore. And I have a very bad feeling this game is being dumbed down into another clickfest, just like Oblivion was. I remember when I first saw Resident Evil 4 back in the day and hated how they changed up the whole formula from the previous games. Then after playing it Capcom proved me wrong. I hope Bethesda proves me wrong with Fallout 3 but I'm not so sure they will.

Dark General6567d ago

Never played a Fallout game before i can see what you guys are saying. I have a friend who enjoys tactical rpg's (Jagged Alliance and the like) and he's played Fallout and he feels the same way. While i myself wouldn't have minded something different (basically keeping the isometric view and adding some other stuff onto fallout 3 using the consoles power). So i do agree with you guys there Fallout 3 could have been something radically different from whats out but i guess it went to mainstream.

I'm still looking forward to Fallout 3 though. Mostly because of the black humor, post nuclear fallout setting and lite rpg aspects to it. But i do see where you guys are coming from seeing as it went from a turn based tactical rpg to a fps/rpg hybrid.
