Maybe Fallout 3 will get slammed by reviews?

I'm anticipating reviews that say "woooo amazing free world RPG elements carried over from Oblivion, let down by clunky combat - 85.7%"

The reviews will come in with modest scores of 7.5-8.5, and maybe finally someone will wake the fuck up and add some depth to their games.

Agree, disagree? Why?

The game isn't out yet and you're already predicting low scores?

Are you any different than those slobbering positively over the game, except you're slobbering negatively over it? No one has seen the full game so it seems as premature to say the game sucks as to say it's a classic.

The parts shown thus far, Bethesda's track record and the information point out to major suckage.

When's a more appropriate time to predict low scores? When a game's already out and every major magazine/site already reviewed it?

Bullshit! You have to play it at least 100 hours before you can make any sort of judgment on the game. And if after 100 hours you still don't like it then it's obvious you are lying and actually like and are just bitch about it for the sake of bitching.

Actually the sad part is that I did play Oblivion over a 100 hours (main quest, knights of the nine, SI and so on)... It was the only game I had to take shots with me to play it for long periods.

What you have to go through to be able to say that you did complete something... I hate myself.

The fuck did you do that for? Punishing yourself for some big fuck up or something? :lol:

Curiosity. I *really* tried to see if there was anything good about the game. By the ending of Shivering Isles I was fed up and traded the game in.

Important to the plot, yes, but there are tons of NPCs with lots of dialouge that are vital to the ambiance that probably would have had much less to say if they had used voice acting for every line. I saw a radscorpion the other day.

Is pretty much what some meaningless Shady Sands NPC tells you, and you have to bring him a scorpion tail to heal his wife.

Take off your rose-tinted glasses, for fuck's sake.

Of course there are bound to be a few bland conversations, but the fact remains that most of the NPCs of fallout (1 and 2) were voiceless, and most of the dialouge was unacted.

Since when was a 7.5 low? That's an average game, more pointed towards the good side.
