I'm officially looking forward to Fallout 3 now!
VWGTI | 7:11 PM on 10.12.2008 21 comments


I was one of the few who didn't care for Oblivion. I thought the "massive world" was boring and uninspired, the combat was clunky and unsatisfying, and the character models were ugly as hell. Still, I gave the game a try and put in about 12 hours before encountering a game killing bug that caused me to swear off the game forever. I will never understand why Oblivion is so popular. It was boring.

When Fallout 3 was announced I was not impressed to say the least. Bethesda let me down with Oblivion and I heard that they were using the same engine for Fallout 3. Being the internet scavenger I am, I read up on Fallout 3 and became interested in the post-apocalyptic setting and gun-based game play. What further peaked my interest was the ability to play the game as a FPS or as a more traditional RPG. However, my expectations were not met when I saw some game play videos from E3 2008. I thought it looked terrible.

Fast-forward a few months and I see a few new videos posted on [url]gametrailers.com[/url]. What I saw this afternoon (while watching a disappointing loss for the Dallas Cowboys) would forever have me excited for the release of Fallout 3. The level design is bloody brilliant. I live in D.C. and the metro level looks just like the real life thing. In addition, the combat looks much improved and while not up to the standards of Call of Duty 4 and Far Cry 2, looks to offer a fun time. At one part you see the eyeballs of one zombie slowly fly through the air. I wouldn't be American if I didn't admit to enjoying that.

If you were on the fence like I was take a look at these videos that could very well change your mind.

The Cowboys deserve to lose, overrated piece of a team.
Scrixx's Destructoid Blog
For the record, I just want to point out that the Colts are going win the SuperBowl this time. Patriots got lucky last time and they lost to the Giants on an 18-0 streak, what team fucking does that!

But yea Colts ftw.

What was this about again?
VWGTI's Destructoid Blog
Dude, I'm a huge Cowboya fan, so you can hate all you want! :)

The Colts though...wow! They looked amazing today! It's good to see Payton back in his groove. Also, props to Harrison.
Scrixx's Destructoid Blog
Lol yea, hopefully no more "shoulder" problems. But Cmon, Cardinals.. really? I expected way more from the Cowboys ;_;
VWGTI's Destructoid Blog
The Cardinals have a winning record. Don't sleep on them, man.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Haha Cowboys lost.

Also -slaps-

That's for just now being hyped up for Fallout 3, three weeks away from release. I'm having a blackout on all media related to Fallout 3, with the exception of the trailers that came out a while back. I want to be surprised when I play the game.
Scrixx's Destructoid Blog
I know, their next game is against the panthers right? Such an easy win for them xD

The Buccaneers completely demolished the Panthers.

I've been looking forward to it, but I'd rather have Dead Space and so cannot afford Fallout 3. I'll get it for Christmas.

The Bears (and all Chicago sports teams) continue to sadden me.
VWGTI's Destructoid Blog
YEP!

How did the move treat you, brother?
Clockwork's Destructoid Blog
Can we talk about a disappointing loss from the Chicago Bears?

Fallout 3 will be awesome. I am calling it.

@ Juggs

Things are very good here for me in VA despite the economy. I just got a promotion and I can still buy the latest games. No complaining on my end.

...I still owe you a drink.

How's the pacman doing in the big D?
(( Not to good I hear. Fights w/ his Body Gaurd... YEAH! ))

I'm glad he is no longer a distraction for my Titans.

I'm with EternalDeathSlayer on thia one. DEAD SPACE FTW, this month. That & Bioshock, I don't care how shitty the textures are. I don't have to worry about RROD's or a 360 with PS3 BioShock.

:)

I'm getting FarCry 2 & Fallout 3 in December. Even though Fallout 3 looks juicy. (Funds) & I'm getting Resistance 2 & Mirror's Edge in November. Also, Call of Duty W@W.

BTW Cowboys are decent Romo & Jessica made a surprise apperance @ a LOL! Olive Garden in my home town back in Wiaconsin. (( Hollywood Insider )) DONT ASK!

An Ode To Wiisucks:

Hi! My name is Jack Klassen.! I'm a completely ordinary teenage boy from San Diego, California. My interests include soccer, surfing, writing poetry, and luge. I am homeschooled by my father who fought in the Korean War and was exposed to nerve gas. He is kind of crazy but I still love him. We got the Internet two years ago and I started making new friends on Yahoo! messenger. Surprisingly, most of these new friends were older men who wanted to have illegal, underage sex with me. Needless to say, I got a boner like a rocketship and cybersex quickly became my favorite thing in the entire world. Wait, did I say boner like a rocketship? I meant my vagina got as wet as Lake Titicaca. I started saving all of the hot chat sessions I was having with the Pakistanis, lesbians, child molesters and other monsters who were instant messaging me all day and all night, and I decided to put them up here on this website so you can see exactly how disgusting the entire human race is. Since then, I have been in a waterskiing accident that mangled my genitals beyond repair, been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, brain cancer, and Crohn's disease, learned to speak Urdu and French, covered my naked body in superglue, went to French lesbian camp, made a Hindu eat a roast beef sandwich out of my vagina, and ruined perfectly good cybersex for at least one hundred people.
