What makes Fallout bad compred to the old Fallout games? The change in graphics or the gameplay?

Wait that's not true Fallout 3 isn't a version of Fallout 2 and Oblivion isn't a version of Morrowind.

Heh, that would be useful, however, I have finished Stalker! It had somewhat of a disappointing finish. Although, to describe Fallout 3, I am going to use Stalker.

They both are set in post apocalyptic worlds, and both attempt dark humor (I think Fallout's more consistent with the humor). Both are a blend of FPS and RPG, however, it is the dominance of genre that sets the two apart. Stalker is a glorious FPS with several elements of RPG, like an inventory, stat modifying gear, and NPC Dialog/Relationships. While Fallout is an excellent RPG with elements of an FPS, like WASD, ammo, aiming, aural and visual detection, and cover. I think some of the newer gamers might not appreciate this so much, but the Fallouters that played the isometric turnbased game, should love this. The old skill system is fully in tact, along with VATS (Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System), which is just fun to watch! Plus, VATS reminds me of of the old system as it has Action Points just like FO 1 and 2. I haven't played much more than the first couple of missions, but I love this game already!

I'll let you know more later!

Sounds great so far. Keep us informed. BTW, you can review STALKER now that you finished the game if you want. It would be cool to have your insight on it.

Any more updates?

I've finished the game and I plan on writing a review, so give me some time and I'll post it here.

As to the question of hype, it lived up to my expectations, in most every way, but I can see how it may not live up to others'. None the less, awesome game!

Good deal. Looking forward to it.

Another great review, Fight. Sorry about the timeout the first time. Did you have Remember me checked? I think its like the arcade on that.

If you ever want to add to the review, just let me know and it will be done.

I will see on the pic, if you have a better one to use, let me know.
