Seriously. I think this thread infects those that participate in it with some sort of slowly building rage which requires them to lash out against innocuous things that other people do which have no effect whatsoever on them personally. Weird.

It had to be done, right?
Also, it’s strange how often people send me significant sums of money after posting in this thread …

Either that or I was posting drunk.
Unless this thread is Q23’s drunk tank, I doubt it. There have been a lot (a lot a lot a lot) of cases of this uninvoked rage than just the most recent page.
Maybe we’re all feeling a little cranky from waiting for Fallout 3 for so long.

Thought of Metal Gear Solid cover system in DX3 make Zylon cranky.
(not that blocking an entire domain just because you’re afraid you might accidentally click on a link to it isn’t absurd)

I know! It took a while, but I’m pride of my shining achievement.
Looks like there is a review up from a French publication, giving it a 93%. Looks like a good review, solid score, and the reviewer (from I was able to read) really enjoyed it.

I can’t click that link. I have my computer set to explode if I visit NMA.

They only culled a few quotes anyways:
Quests are quite varied and go beyond the mere extermination of everything that shows up on screen. You’ll have for instance to go through several tests for someone who is writing a survival guide, which includes getting exposed to considerable amounts of radiation, steal the Constitution of the USA in order to avoid anti-slavers getting their hands on it, or getting involved in huge military operations with dozens of belligerent parties. Everybody will get his share, with different ways to succeed : with brute force or eloquence. Sometimes you’ll even be able to complete some quests by lying on the fact that you have indeed done what was expected of you.

Bethesda does not have the reputation of releasing finely polished games. Fallout 3 is likely to change that. The game, is not bug-free. There are still collision, pathfinding and lighting problems but they are not too numerous.
[…]
Thus, the fear that Fallout 3 could be a post-apocalyptic Oblivion is totally gone. A few hours with the game will be enough for Fallout veterans to get their habits back and be able to walk with confidence through the game. New players will not feel totally lost either because references to the previous games are rather scarce and discrete. If most changes brought to the series are technical, the spirit is still there, sort of. Indeed, it’s a shame that this episode is so serious. It has lost, it seems, a good deal of the humour and even irony that was part of the series. Cinematographic references or completely twisted conversations with NPCs are gone. Aside from this, Fallout 3 is an excellent RPG and a good Fallout. The score is rather different but the music stays the same.

On a side note, CanardPC didn’t get the review disc. They only had a “review” session with Bethesda and they didn’t let them take their own screenshots.
Sounds perfectly objective.

Yeah, I was wondering how they reviewed it already. You know, sometimes I think the “journalists” in gaming intentionally come up with or go along with obviously shady stuff just because they think we are too stupid to care.
This may be a valid review, but the methods of obtaining it are worse than the justifiably criticized “exclusive” reviews.

Stumbling back into this thread at page ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN?!? Jesus you guys are mini-NMA’ers.
Seriously though, is the release date pretty firm now? Enough so to schedule a gaming day off?
You mean one hundred forty seven?

No but perhaps it’s based on a posts per page setting. Mine shows up at page 111.
