Will DQ IX release this year in the Western part of the world? Otherwise NOOO.

All I can say Rocket is that maybe you should just give up on another true fallout game and try to just enjoy Fallout 3 as another game entirely, from the same lore perhaps, but a different kind of game. It would be unfortunate if you couldn't enjoy it because it was named Fallout. I completely understand your apprehensiveness though, I would probably have the same reaction if an Earthbound sequel was translated and somehow they lost all the comedy. Even if it was a good game, I'd still be mad that they killed my hopes for a true Earthbound experience.

woo hoo, hype up the only hypable 360 game of the year!

Does it really matter?

The game will be out and by all intents and purposes will be better than Fable 2.  

Fable 2 is only going to run away with this thing because of no other big RPGs are coming out this year.  But I guess Fable 2 could be America's RPG of 2008, since DQ IX may not come out on our soil until 2009, but still, it's winning by default.

You do have the right to be pissed or upset or w/e. No one's taking that right from you. But calling a game garbage or "suck" before giving it chance is a different story. I don't see the reasoning behind people that stomp on games before even playing it themselves. Like i said before, you can be upset and afraid of change all you want, but there's going to be a time where you'll have to accept it. Look at Yoshi's island, Chrono Cross, Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime RE4 and Wind Waker, all those games were very much different than their previous installments, but did they suck? no.

Argh. We're not talking about a different art style like WW or a transition to 3D like Prime, we're talking about a complete change to everything in the game... The feel, the attitude, the consequences, the choices, everything.

Every game you listed there kept some of the spirit and tried to evolve their respective franchises, not throw everything out the window and make an entirely different game that only shared the art style and name of the originals.

Neat, but LO, Infinite Undiscovery, Fallout 3, and Tales of Vesperia all look better to me than Fable. And those are all 360 RPGs.

Now now, don't get excited yet...it can be as big as a letdown as the 1st, So...just chill and wait till the 1st review comes out.. Then we can start speculating ^^

 I'll get back to you after I've played all 3 games, I (for one), am still giving fallout a try before smahing it to pieces.

Oh, I'll play it. I absolutely cannot pass up anything with the Fallout name on it. I'm hoping that my controller doesn't spontaneously fly out of my hand and through my television set before the end of the first hour, though.

I really suggest you play the earlier Fallouts. The original might be a little too primitive for you now but I can't recommend the second game highly enough. It's pure brilliance.
