Um…no. M.U.L.E. doesn’t provide anything remotely resembling the Wasteland experience. It’s an utterly dissimilar game. I certainly didn’t play Wasteland and think “Awesome, this is just like M.U.L.E.!” However, I did play Fallout and think “What the fuck, is this by the Wasteland guys?” Hooray for homage?
I don’t recall if I had seen it written here or elsewhere, but it basically was said that if you come to it expecting a direct successor to Fallout then you’re going to be setting yourself up for disappointment.
Disagree. Circle gets the square.
It’s absolutely a direct successor to Fallout. It’s just not the one you wanted. I wanted a more involving and “on the ground” game that let me immerse myself in the Fallout world in a way that was impossible when the originals were made. That’s exactly what’s being delivered. There are certainly critiques to be made as far as design and specific decisions regarding Fallout 3, but whether or not it’s a “real” Fallout game is not one of them.
Call me when we have Fallout 3, for real. ;)
Expect a ring or two on October 28th.

The available evidence does suggest that you could go on and on, yes.
And yep, no good comes from it.
Watching the latest gameplay videos on Gametrailers. Super hyped for it, even though it comes out one week after I’m getting two other games.
I do find myself wondering if data collected from the age verification screens might not indicate that your average Gametrailers user was born December 31st of 1900.
An even better example would be the GTA 3 series.
Rockstar has never released an editor/construction kit for those games and people have done tons of things with them.
IIRC, some modders messed around with GTA 3 to the point where they managed to get working motorcycles in the game, even though the devs said the game wouldn’t support motorcycles.
Then, when Vice City came out, “Motorcycles, motorcycles, motorcycles!!!”.
[B]for those who watch the gametrailers footage: don’t read the comments
I’ve heard some NMA tards are spoiling the game’s story in them[/B]
Jesus, are they twirling their moustaches and adjusting their monocles while they do it?
I’d always cringed at the cartoon villain motivation - evil for the sake of eeevil, intent on making sure nobody has any fun - but wouldn’t you know it?

And cackling evilly. It’s not NMA. It’s Codex and /v/… They bombarded the BGS forum a few days ago too so best to stay away from there for a bit.
Of course not, NMA would be incapable of doing something like that :rolleyes:
Since NMA and RPG Codex are basically the same group of people, whats the difference?
What’s the difference in any case? Demented is demented. It’s not like we can start a RICO investigation, or anything.

Looks like I’m going to have to go into media black-out mode until I can either afford to upgrade my PC or buy a 360 or PS3. If someone spoils something in the game on purpose, they should be stabbed in the neck repeatedly with a rusty pair of tweezers used to burst pustules on the ass of a fat elderly woman.

Bad example. Motorcycles were modded into GTA3 after Vice City came out for the PC. The devs never said the game wouldn’t support motorcycles.
How about we acknowledge that there’s going to be a construction kit?

Right now it isn’t a guarantee, rather an “if and when”.
Or, as 3DR puts it “WID”.
