Tags: Fallout 3Here, truly is some epic fail. The Brainy Gamer sat a few students down with the original Fallout's to see how they went. It's all part of their question on whether Fallout 3 is really going to be "Fallout" or not. Here's one students' attempt:
i have enough to fire a gun and kill a scorpion, but then i'm only 1 action point short to use a weapon and i get screwed because i can't fight back...how do i gain more action points and why do they randomly go away when i'm fighting?Yes, why do action points "randomly go away"? Mayhap it is because one is using them? Pressing on...
All of these students have seen the trailers for Fallout 3. When I told them we would play the game immediately after release, they burst into spontaneous fits of delight. I should mention that I made this announcement at the conclusion of our Planetfall discussion, a text adventure they gamely tried to enjoy because I told them they should - but which they mostly detested. In this setting, Fallout 3 was received like mana from RPG heaven. Subsequently, Fallout 1 and 2 were seen as trials to be endured while awaiting the modern gameplay savior of 3.
Then, during the break, something broke. I began to notice increased activity in the discussion forum, which soon turned into a small flurry of posts.I'll let you read the rest to find out the results...
In other news, Microsoft has cancelled Fallout 3's release. In India that is. Apparently citing "cultural sensitivities".
