Fallout 3 demo walk-through
December 31st, 2007Here is an interesting article on the demo to Fallout 3.
Now the article is pretty much against the new Fallout 3. Fallout fans tend to be a pretty crochety lot, remebering all that was good about the first two games and forgetting the bugs and tedious parts of the first two fallout games. I say this as a big fallout fan myself, thinking they are some of the best RolePlaying Games ever. I beat the first two games and even love Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel for the PC. Yet I am not so star dazzled by the games to think they were perfect, because they weren’t. For one, much of the humor was very childish and immature…which fallout 3 seems to have in abundance. I guess, what I am saying, is I’ve had some good experiances with the first two Fallout games. However that doesn’t sour me against this project. I am really looking forward to it; the lead designer is the oen that designed the dark brotherhood quests in Oblivion (some of the best quests in the game.) I never assume that a demo is really representative of the fimal game…unless it is released after the game has gone gold. So, despite the negative tone this article has, I am looking forward to Fallout 3. I don’t think that turn based combat is what made the Fallout games so memerable, but the actual setting and mood. If Bethesada can nail that, then the game will be awesome.
