[edit] Weasel Words
I know FO fans hate this game, but "almost all fallout fans" in the opening paragraph is unverifiable. I think it should go completely, but I'll wait a week or so to see if anyone has a verifacation (unlikely, but still) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.136.14.168 (talk) 02:37, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Advergame
I think that's going a bit far. There's a big leap from product placement to being an advergame. Unless the entire game seems created soley to advertise bawls, then it's not an advergame —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.78.84.7 (talk • contribs)
- It should be in-game advertisement. I have corrected it. --Voidvector 23:31, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fan reaction
Shouldn't there be a section in this article which covers the fan reaction to Brotherhood of Steel since it was pretty major and is even mentioned at the end of the game? Wolfman Walt 09:24, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, there probably should. The trick, however, is to make sure it has a neutral point of view. Plus, we need to make sure sources are cited. And, having never played the game, I didn't know about it being mentioned at the end of the game. Would you care to elaborate? Miguel Cervantes 15:17, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well at the end of the game, I believe it had a message that said something along the lines of "Thanks for the memories" and then linked back to both Duck and Cover and No Mutants Allowed in a response to the fan reaction, especially of some of the more critical members such as Roshambo, Killzig, and others. There were afew articles at Duck and Cover about the game, including one written by yours truely...though I think that might be self referential, as well as being poorly written. On the other hand, I succesfully predicted Interplay's demise after looking at their stocks. Regardless, the two articles that Miguel Cervantes listed are a good start, but I think it may be important to note that despite getting getting some decent reviews according to Game Rankings, the game sold very poorly to my knowledge, most likely due to Interplay's alienation of it's fanbase. Ofcourse that's more conjecture then I'd like and obviousily doesn't belong in an encyclopedia until further substantiated. Wolfman Walt 07:43, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- A good place to start might be 27 Things about Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel over at Duck and Cover. A couterpoint might be the IGN Review, which says "If you want a good adventure to have with a buddy, F:BOS is a good choice even if it does feel a bit rushed." Or Team Xbox , which said "Overall, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel is a solid RPG/action title worthy of accolades." Miguel Cervantes 19:44, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
- Shouldn't the reaction refer to both Fan and Critical reception? Especially since the latter is far easier to quantify and provide clear sources? Basically this page needs to acknowledge that this was considered to be a pretty terrible game by everyone... very relevant information for both those considering purchase and those interested in its role in the Fallout series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IQpierce (talk • contribs) 17:01, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Screenshot
How was that screenshot taken? It looks better then then the xbox or ps2 version, is it using some emulator? Uselesswarrior (talk) 06:29, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
