Interview Fallout 3 IS Oblivion with Guns

Also:
"And it was here in this blighted land that he learned to live again." Isn't this a direct quote from Mad Max?

I could be wrong, havent seen them in a while.

They switched "place" with "land", but other than that its a direct MM2 rip! I'd be angry but I'm just not that surprised.

Edit: "And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again."

It's not that fucking hard to figure out. They had a picture where the Vault Dweller walks into the sunset. The magazine thought the picture looked like Mad Max and decided to reference it in the pic comment. But OMG BETHESDA ARE RIPOFFERS.

Doh!

Somehow I pictured that text as in game subtitles or something instead of just captions from the magazine.

Carry on, carry on.

And it's from those dramatic fly-bys and follow-cams that you'll realize the Vault's quaint 1950s vibe is merely a distraction for the fountains of blood and gleeful amounts of gore that highlight Fallout 3

Yeah! Because nobody gave a shit about that silly 50's thing going on Fallout. It was just a distraction! great!

I assume it refers to the vtec stuff, but it's not too unlikely that other 50's-ambience and setting is just a "distraction" for the visuals, the father-finding and the gore-lulz.

I did think the book was a little cute, but like one guy on NMA mentioned, it was a bad decision to not name any statistics that went into charisma. Also, at first, I too didn't like the zombie, but then again most of the ghouls in the game were hostal. The thing that bothered me was that the one depicted in the picture looked more like a skeleton than a human with very, VERY bad skin issues.

Once again Bethesda, you manage to play the racist card, and make anybody who isn't a human, monsters.

Well, geez, Lumpy. I hadn't read the damn magazine before I wrote my reply. Don't you roll your eyes on me, Squall! My bad but I'm still not all that crazy about it, y'know.

 

[Claw]

I suppose NMA has been taken off the official fansite index again. What a shame. Are the devs also gonna stop posting there again?

The article is pretty boring. So they finally say outright that it's Oblivion with Guns, the same old hype of VATS and gore and a ridiculous example of what "dark humor" is to Emil.

 

[Brother None]

Claw: Bethesda devs don't post on NMA. Like RPGCodex, it's a place non grata for the company. Dunno if they're officially not allowed, but it sure as hell isn't encouraged.

*That should satisfy our link quota for Brother None.

I hate you.

Speaking of interviews: Here's a Codex exclusive from that mag, because I know no one will be able to appreciate it like you do

 

[kingcomrade]

Guess which one is me

 

[Andyman Messiah]

You have a nice ass, kc!

You make us Fallout fans look bad, you have to be smarter than this. It's pretty fuckin obivous that the magazine wrote it, have you ever read a magazine before?

What he said.

haha, I didn't even see that angle coming

 

[dagorkan]

Why didn't they buy the Mad Max IP instead? Too expensive?

 

[Jeff Graw]

Fallout also had huge unrealistic amounts of gore, but when F3 does it we shit a brick? Come on, you guys are *failing* at making fun of *Fallout 3*. Do you know how sad that is?

 

[inwoker]

Bethesda devs don't post on ....... RPGCodex

then, who's adhaira?

 

[Black_Willow]

YOUR (...) GAME IS FINALLY GONNA GET DA BETHESDA TREATMENT

Bethesda:"Look, Fallout! You dropped your soap!"

Feral ghouls were hit with so much radiation that they basically devolved into zombies. Some of them glow.

Then why do they still wear pants?

But if you consider the fact that

1) it wasn't the original games' main selling point,
2) it wasn't NEARLY as ridiculous as this shit, and
3) the original games weren't made by jackasses who consider talking to a severed head the height of "dark humor",

you will realise that it is indeed you who have failed.

Do you know how sad it is?

I thought Emil had posted on NMA recently. Yesterday I wrote a post on the Bethesda forums basically referring to NMA as example of who Fallout 3 isn't made for, and before I posted it I became paranoid and checked their fansite list, and I thought I had found it listed there. Not so today.

Eh, Fallout had diverse beautifully crafted death animations. Blowing limbs of like in Unreal Tournament is a step backwards. Also, what about damage-specific effects like turning enemies into a puddle? That was one of my favourites.

[Brother None]

Emil posted on NMA once. Not recently. He posted on the official forums recently.

We always get removed from the fansite list as long as we have scans on our frontpage. We get put back once they rotate off.

Because of the ESRB? Imagine the scandal if zombie cocks got into the final game... and they'd be glowing.

 

[Claw]

Is this a joke? :shock:

 

[TheLostOne]

Todd's wife is a fucking dipshit.

They make quite a couple.

You wish...

 

[Andhaira]

I wonder...
