QT3’s Tom Chick takes a bat to the hornet’s nest:
Well, speaking of those websites…
But the really funny thing here is - our issue isn’t that Oblivion with Guns sounds bad, it’s that Fallout 3 being Oblivion with Guns sounds bad.
The point just soared over mr Chick’s head, there.
He must have suffered for a momentary lapse of reason, as far as I can recall this is the guy that hates swords and faeries RPGs. Doesn’t make much sense to support both Fallout 3 and Oblivion in this case. As far as it goes, if his Oblivion Fallout 3 is truly the case then he’d just be playing the same game with a different setting.
Makes him sound like a lazy gamer, makes him sound like a hypocrite.
Heh, looking at the comments, seems he actually called Fallout “Bethesda’s saga” before being correct.
Bethesda has the media in quite a vice-like grip, doesn’t it? They dance to their beck and call.
My idea of “Oblivion with guns would be frickin’ awesome”: the guns are real, loaded, and pointed at the Oblivion buyers. In fact, “frickin’ awesome” doesn’t even begin to describe the sensation… (EVIL SMILEY)
I give them the first laugh, bet let’s see who’s lauhing in the end, when at least a few people will say that Fallout 3 was bland and so on, and i think this will happen, as it did with Oblivion…
And maybe the joke will then also be on the ones who praised Fallout 3 like it was a new Messiahs… (<------you just got fucking BURNED,Tom Chick)
Ugh…why can’t people generally be allowed to have some criticism of popular mainstream stuff in video games? I mean…this guy’s almost echoing the mentality of the “new” SA that thinks anyone who detracts is a contrarian just trying to look cool.
That’s gone in my sig. As Bart Simpson would say, ‘The ironing is delicious’.

Detractors – and there are entire websites teeming with them – dismiss Fallout 3 as Oblivion with guns. But the joke’s on them. Who in his right mind wouldn’t think that Oblivion with guns would be frickin’ awesome?
I didn’t even play FO1 or finished FO2, but this still makes me sick…
