Fallout 3 - The Good Parts @ Twenty Sided

by Dhruin, 2008-12-15 21:27:18

Twenty Sided's Shamus Young is about to embark on one of his typical series of post-mortem reviews, this time for Fallout 3.  This first post covers The Good Parts:

Fallout 3 is a fusion of two wildly popular game franchises, in much the same way that Taco Ice Cream would be a fusion of two wildly popular foods. It takes the gameplay of Oblivion, and splices it with the setting of Fallout. There are other gameplay elements they’ve introduced to act as adhesive between the two disparate systems, which both add and detract from the whole in equal measure. In order to help confuse both players and (more importantly) reviewers, Fallout 3 has better gameplay than Oblivion, but a worse story than Fallout. So figuring out if the game is good or bad depends a lot on which axis you’re traveling on - which of its progenitors you’re using as a standard.
