Bethesda to critics: Fallout 3 is mediocre FPS, head shots are entertaining |
Listed in: Xbox 360, PS3 Tags: Bethesda, Microsoft, MTV, Sony
You love it or you hate it, but you damn well better play it. Bethesda received a lot of criticism for their work on Fallout 3 (PS3, Xbox 360), particularly on how it compared with the previous games. Now it's Bethesda's turn to respond to those critics.
MTV listed down three criticisms we usually hear from gamers, and gave executive producer Todd Howard a shot at answering them, and here's what he said:
Criticism: #1: “Fallout 3″ is just mediocre when judged as a first person shooter
Howard: Agreed.
Criticism #2: The ending isn’t very satisfying and much shorter than other “Fallout” endings
Howard: Based on the feedback I’ve seen, most people are pissed off that it ends, not the ‘ending’ itself. Maybe that’s one and the same, I don’t know. That’s another thing we’re changing in DLC3 [downloadable content #3, "Broken Steel"]. We really underestimated how many people would want to keep playing, so that’s probably the last time we’ll do something like that.
Criticism #3: V.A.T.S. is boring once youÂ’re accurate enough to head shot everyone
Howard: Depends on what you find entertaining. I like to blow people’s heads off, so, well, it never got old for me. I agree that the ‘to hit chance’ for head shots is probably too high.
Unfortunately for PS3 gamers, Bethesda won't be distributing the DLC that allows post-ending play to the Sony console. For now, at least. Who knows, perhaps the DLC deal with Microsoft was only for a timed exclusive, like BioShock.

The story was so dry, predictable, and boring I was just sad. There was no character development (which you really cant do when your gender / character itself are undecided for the people writing the script).
I think Ill go back to JRPG, where plot >> shiny graphics. I mean come on the amount of time spent doing the graphics for vault 101 alone took more time then the one armed monkey they used to pent the script.
The only DLC I would even consider, would be the only one the PS3 wont get.

For that matter, "why bother even finishing the game?"
