Looks p goog.

Rather have System Shock 3

System Shock was released by EA.. do you know what EA has been doing to games in the last decade or so?

Oh you'll get System Shock 3 for $60. But you won't be able to play the REAL game unless you buy the "premium" version.

This is not a system shock thread.

Git out.

My erection was lost when I seen 111. Sounds like they are back on the east coast and I swear to god I thought I seen the Citadel from Fallout3 somewhere in there.

The fear of paid mods
Skyrim with Guns
I really hope they used advice from Obsidian/FO1, 2 and NV creators on this one. I still have nightmares about having a minigun with max skill, hopped up on all types of damage increasing drugs and having to reload 6-7 times on a mutant overlord at point blank range with all headshots. Oh god and ghoul reavers..

My hopes are low.

See, that's exactly why the Fallout games were so amazing: everything in that graphic is true, and yet despite all those flaws the game was still awesome.

Personally I'll never forget the moment in Fallout 3 when I was just randomly wandering the wastes and got approached by some kid from ant-town asking for help finding his parents. I hadn't hailed any quest NPC, or even gone within fifty feet of one; instead I had just been completely absorbed in exploring the post-apocalyptic world, and (it felt like) that world had come to interact with me.

Now in retrospect I understand that the game wasn't really that smart: the kid was just triggered by my proximity to ant-town. But still, when it first happened I felt like I really had become Mad Max, and that feeling was straight magical.

I can't wait for #4 (well, really #5, counting New Vegas).

West coast has been done to death, the desert makes sense for a game where travel is just a matter of clicking and watching a cross move on a map, but walking from area to area through a desert in real time is, frankly, pretty boring.

Even the north end of the map in F3 was pretty weak. The world looks a hell of a lot more interesting than both F3/NV already from the trailer.

Paid mods was torpedoed. Besides, the community really decides that, not the developer. If the developer wants to offer mods as a paid content add-on, let them, they'll already be releasing DLC later anyways. That won't stop the independents from releasing mods at the same time.

What mods were even worthwhile on F3/NV, anyways? The DLC was great for NV, little less so for F3, but none of the community add-ons were really worthwhile in my experience. Just a lot of 'home-base' locations, OP weapons and nude patches. I think project brazil is the only mod with substance and even that is only 1/3 done (they started making it before NV came out) with no real ETA on further development.

Fallout 3 wasn't great, but New Vegas was a true spiritual successor to the original series. It was funny, it was interesting, you had more bearing on the story the whole way through, it wasn't linear, it was amazing. Whine all you want about F3, a lot of the complaints on that SS are valid, but next to none of them apply to NV. If 4 is as much of a leap forward as NV was from 3, it's going to be the best game ever.

The problem is that Obsidian designed NV. I have over 700 hours in NV, I love NV, played almost every weapon type in that game, all the DLC multiple times, every new game I explored something new, found something new, ect.

But Bethesda is behind FO4, they dropped the ball hard with FO3. I waited a few months before buying NV reading player reviews, youtubes, ect and I lost my shit for months playing. And I am going to be watching closer now to news on FO4 and hope they at least got some of the original devs consultation behind the making of FO4. As I stated, my hopes are low for FO4 just because of the bad taste FO3 left.

I'm fucking hyped as shit over Fallout 4. I explored every inch of Fallout 3 and it's DLC's
New Vegas was just a modded fallout 3 except for the DLC's for that.
Fallout 3 > New Vegas. anyone who disagrees knows nothing about the modding community. The only upside that new vegas had was it was on a newer iteration of the engine. beyond that it's simply a modded fallout 3.

I'm more hyped then anyone who ever lived on earth.

If i ever meet you in real **** **** ******* *** ***. You are a sick person and it's the only sensible action for someone like you.
