Fallout 3 demonstration video!!!

Ok guys, I've let you rave about this video for a while, now hopefully no one minds if I write what I think. :hmm:

I find this video incredibly lame and exactly fulfilling the predictions that FO3 will be Oblivion with guns. This became extremely apparent in the one scene with the hand to hand combat, it exactly looks and sounds like oblivion, just different armour. Everything else that annoyed me about Oblivion is also there, the ridiculous shoulder pads, the extensive bloom, the lack of the right athmosphere, the consolification and juvenilization of each and every element of the game.

And, funny, now I finally understand how they could say Fallout 3 would be turn based, and at other times that say it would be not. They've taken bullet time and called it turn based combat, brilliant idea :rotfl:. And besides, every time I kill somebody the camera will switch to an external cam, I'm sure that will make The Matrix fans happy. Just don't see how this belongs into a RPG, except of course you call it "next gen".

Anyway, don't want to step on anyones toes, so I leave here with my negative review. For those who loved Oblivion this should be what they want, but my message to Bethesda : NO THANKS!! If in a couple of years all computer games should be like that I can finally stop playing them altogether.

Though not RPG, Stalker Clear Sky is the only game in this genre I can still look forward to, at least it has athmosphere and plays like a PC game.
