Zero Punctation Reviews Fallout 3

Wow... now I thought that was bland and missed some of the criticism Fallout 3 received (deservedly) by the obvious large threads on Anandtech.

Poor ZP review. He didnt slag it off enough.

(By the way, I have completed Fallout 3, enjoyed it thoroughly and am currently playing it to do some of the subquests)

149.11.02 according to my saved game pre-end zone.

no idea what that is in real change.

Ugg, this one it seems like he talks WAAAAY faster than some of the earlier reviews. Hard to understand him.

 

[CP5670]

I could understand him fine. Although I expected him to bash it more than he did. (going by the posts I've seen around here; haven't played it yet myself)

 

[DangerAardvark]

I'm enjoying the game, but some of the design choices are beyond bone-headed.

 

[LumbergTech]

I think he was pretty fair, it was a big improvement over oblivion for most people and for that it deserves praise

it has a lot of problems but if they can continue to iterate through the game maybe theyll have an actual...awesome game..soon

Fallout 3 is a pretty awesome game. I have high standards for games, fallout 3 meets those, and I am putting a lot of hours into it.

 

[PhatoseAlpha]

He was amazingly and uncharacteristically merciful.

Fallout 3 is a great game until you run into the ending.

The longer you don't experience the ending, the better the Fallout 3 experience will be.

I was waiting for the pwnage, but there were none. What the hell's the matter w/ him this week?

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

He seemed to like it too much in a way. He totally ripped on Dead Space, which is IMO the most polished and well-done game in awhile.

 

[Zenoth]

He didn't bashed Fallout 3 much because outside of the bugs which cause instability and outside of the consolized interface there's nothing to bash much on, he was merciful because Fallout 3 is actually quite a good game if one can stand the instability problems and the stiff 2002-looking animations. I myself do prefer Fallout 3 to Oblivion and that ain't saying little for me, at least right out of the box it is. I'm still thinking that Oblivion with modifications is superior, but Fallout 3 with major mods, overhauls and in one year from now with two or three patches will be far better, I'm convinced of it.

 

[Cabages]

Ive just gotten out of the vault. Ill just say I enjoyed how the game presented picking your stats. Very nice way to go about it.

 

[pontifex]

that was the worst ZP ever...

 

[Bateluer]

Nice . . . this guy ever breathe when he reviews a game?

 

[imported_Imp]

Not many laughs. Game wasn't as bashworthy and pissing as Stalker I guess.

Pfff... breathing is overrated.

 

[BladeVenom]

There's not enough in Fallout 3 to bash. I can't wait to listen to his Far Cry 2 review, which I hope is coming soon.

 

[sandorski]

Wasn't his best review. Seemed like he was too tired or un-into-it with this review. Haven't played the game yet, but usually enjoy his reviews for their own sake.

 

[skace]

He went waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too soft on Fallout 3. This is from someone who completed at least 90% of the game world (all bobble heads, most skill books, most skills at 100%, entire game completed). He had a lot of content to work with, could have made that funnier.

I guess its because fallout 3 is a pretty good game... he was as leniant with it as he was with GTA IV which makes sense because GTA IV was a pretty good game too. I must buy fallout 3 at some point.

 

[StinkyPinky]

I love Fallout 3, it's a very enjoyable game. But yeah there are some quirks and bad design decisions imo.

- Easier to play a bad guy than good guy. Since stealing lowers karma a good guy will never steal and that puts him at a big disadvatange. Esp early in the game. My bad guy is only level 4 but he already has a crap load of ammo, nice armor, 50+ stimpacks and nice weapons. Compared to my good guy at this stage who was much worse off. Also the bad option in some quests seems to give a better reward.

- Pipboy is cumbersome. The map sucks.

- Armor and weapon wear is way too harsh and unrealistic. Lucky there is a mod to fix that.

- *****small spoiler ahead********* Again, we end up searching for a GECK. Just like Fallout 2.

 

[pontifex]

karma is kiind of dumb because like he said, you can steal a lot and still do quests that give good karma (repeatable give the water plant dude scrap metal quest anywone?)
