[Multiplatform] Fallout 3 - Guns with Oblivion

You kind of missed his point. And that is that is a company with a track record of making a certain kind of product over and over taking another property which is completely different and slapping their robotic touch is going to get expected results and, well, expectations. Capcom taking FF7 and turning it into a Megaman clone but with angst (which btw probably would be interesting but you get the idea, playing as Barret might finally give his machine gun meaning) would be similar to Bethesda taking Fallout and turning it into Oblivion with guns. It doesn't mean it'll be complete garbage but expect knee-jerk reactions based on the company's recent actions and now this visual evidence.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And it's being developed by SQUARE ugh. Square made FINAL FANTASY MYSTIC QUEST, which sucked! Therefore this will ALSO suck. This game is going to be nothing but Final Fantasy with Goombas

Why are they throwing away what made Mario so special

Pang, Nintendo still had control over their property and oversaw Square and their work on Super Mario RPG. If there were people from Black Isle Studios overseeing Bethesda developing Fallout 3 then I might agree with you.

What are these turnips

They were not there before

Who told you to add turnips

Oh Pang you're so silly. Yeah we all know SMB2 is a dokidokipanikuferlagbogostan with Mario characters painted on top because lols arabian nights or whatever its based off of wouldn't settle well for amerikkka. But hell some things such as enemies and character control from the game have turned into Mario canon. Shy guys and Birdo have their moments in the sun every now and then too. They should totally give both of them their own games. That'd be pretty bad and rad and totally mad.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Fine. Done.

Despite it feeling like one gigantic Oblivion Expansion I'm still looking forward to this game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

That would make sense. Makes it so you can choose the correct one easier since your character is now a super hacker cuz smarties are nummy.

Hey does anybody else find that the super mutant's tentacle doggies are just the most adorable things ever to sprout too many appendages? One time I had one just walking around me all chill like and then its master showed up and then it tried to give me hurty kisses. I had to put it down.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Dunno if any of you realize this but if you just choose three and then quit the console and open it up again it let's you do it from scratch once more. It's only until four failures that it locks up on you. So I just guess three times, exit console, access it again, double click, guess three more times, repeat until I figure out what the password is. Not too difficult. Most I ever have to do it is 10 times. Goes by quickly and they do tell you how many letters in the password you got right out of however many letters there are. It's not as unfair as you make it out to be.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Seriously, it wasn't until much later into the game that I actually read the side bar beyond YOU HAVE THIS MANY TURNS LEFT BEFORE I GO APESHIT AND BY APESHIT I MEAN LOCK UP ON YOU UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE MAP to see that it gave you hints on how many letters out of the word you got right. I completely went at it by guessing and thinking what words looked interesting while using my process I told you about before. It isn't really hard. Just takes a bit of time.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Would you guys shut up about the hacking already? Seriously even if your Science skill is low it's fucking easy. Try 3 times, figure out which words that have a lot of similar letters, let the letter position hints guide you as you select words, on third failure power the console down, and just repeat all of this until success.

You know what actually kind of pisses me off? The fucking lack of bobby pins lying around. Sure I guess you wouldn't find them just everywhere but god damn was I ever low on them throughout the game.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, it would have been nice if achieving 100 points in the lockpicking skill would let you force lock successfully every time but no it doesn't. So ended up quicksaving every time I found a lock because fuck that door might be the only way in and fuck if I'm going all the way back because of some screwed up force lock because I ran out of bobby pins AGES ago.

Oh fucking hell Pang, now don't I feel like a fool.

In my defense (hardly one I know) Oblivion's lockpicking had been so drilled into me that the thought never occurred to me. I fucking had Oblivion's mouse flicking and timing skill down pretty damn well.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Oh man there is some awesome loot I found last night.

Vengeance - which is a souped up laser gatling gun that dishes out damage like you wouldn't believe. You have to go through the fucking caves of the Death Claw Sanctuary found in the mountains in the western side of the map (might be a bit north too - can't quite recall). It's the place that Enclave is capturing Death Claws from with mild success if the piles of Enclave officers and soldiers inside are any indication. You have to go deep into the cave to find it though. It's in a radiated red pool filled with bodies. It's delicious.

A bit east of that place is a drive-in movie lot and north of that is some sort of platform for a power station or radio station (memory is a bit fuzzy) but suddenly something falls from the sky. Fucking alien gun and its alien ammo. Takes down death claws in 2 or 3 shots. Shoots a fast ball of energy out that travels great distances which not only does a ton of damage but sets the enemy on fire. I'm fucking Marvin the Martian.

I love these weapons so much.

Don't mind him. He's just too used to his slightly interactive storybooks. He'll come around. Maybe.

How ya doing, buddy?
