The award for ‘worst sewer starting area’ goes to… TES: Arena!

Just wait until you hit the Arroyo temple.

Killzig:

you can sneak past the rats.

Don’t even have to sneak past them, just ignore and run past.

Obviously this journalist was suborned by the Bethesda Propaganda machine.

(interesting interview, thanks).

lol. The guy on the right is Kharn/Brother None from NMA, that’s when he snuck into the presentation last year.

But then you lose the delicious rat XP! If I remember right, you’ll get a few levels if you clean out the starting rats and vault-15’s rats, which helps a lot early on.

I played Fallout for the first time the other day on Gametap. I was very excited, spent a bunch of time creating my character, worried about how I was going get my Vault its water and then…spent 30 fucking minuted killing rats. I hate this shit. Oblivion pulled the same fucking thing with the Sewers. Just let me play your goddamn game already. WHY do developers do this?!

I should note that the second I left the cave I was much happier and started to see why people love it. But so many games just start off so terribly, I can’t imagine who thinks its a good idea…

Dude it’s all about the save/reload. Get the one or two hit kills, reload every time you miss, move on.

Sneak? I thought they were invited.

Squee · 2008-08-01T20:49:57.000Z

I think he was there in an official capacity because he does work for Gamebanshee, but then he did a writeup for NMA as well. Another NMA guy were there as well, but I’m not sure how or why.

I think there may be some confusion. I know they trumpeted on NMA that they had “snuck” some people into the presentation at Leipzig last year under false pretenses or something. I’m not sure that Brother None was part of that particular episode.

GameSpot

Fallout 3

Fallout 3 is a follow-up to the classic postapocalyptic role-playing series with all-new 3D graphics, new gameplay, and a brand-new story.

Swearing children and fire-breathing giant ants. Awesome.

Killzig · 2008-08-03T09:25:07.000Z

urgh. fire ants?

Wonder if you can save the dad/most of the village.

ZekeDMS · 2008-08-03T09:26:25.000Z

Bitchin’, but I hope I see some little purple geckoes too.

Ed_Solomon · 2008-08-03T09:40:53.000Z

Gamespot:

We headed over to the diner to talk to the boy about the fire ants, and he relayed something that his dad had told him: always aim for their antennae

Ah, an It Came from the Desert homage! My surly certitude that Sturgeon’s Law would be vindicated has entirely vanished. How do I pre-order?

Gamespot:

Bethesda has gone on record to say that the planned downloadable content will be for the PC and Xbox 360 only, and unfortunately there’ll be no multiplayer in the game.

Who wrote this, and how can we ensure that he’s never allowed to participate in gaming journalism ever again?

Tankero · 2008-08-03T15:44:53.000Z

Aside from awkwardly written, is it untrue?

ZekeDMS · 2008-08-03T15:58:45.000Z

It’s Gamespot. They aren’t exactly the voice of credibility these days. If it doesn’t have an adversarial co-op mode we’re paid significant amounts of money to like, it’s just not as good!

Taking time away from crafting a spectacular single-player RPG to tack on a multiplayer mode is what I’d call “a horribly stupid idea, and fuck you Guy Cocker for thinking it.” RPGs are a game I play to NOT deal with other people, they’re a game where I get my own experience wherein I get to end up as the baddest motherfucker to exist quite often, but even if not, it’s my story god damn it. This could well be tied into my MMORPG issues, but I’ll save that for another day.

I’m sure it’s true. I’m also quite sure that it should be true… why would there be multiplayer in this? Why would you want there to be?

… because a co-op online RPG of epic proportions would be fucking awesome?
