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

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

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?

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?

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.

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

I realize that wikipedia is not a review site, but many other PC and console games have a "critical response" section. The fact that this is game is infamously bad (indeed, often used as an example of how to ruin a franchise) it would be worth mentioning. —Preceding

Note that this section is 8 years old, from 2010. At the time, this article had no reception section at all. It was later added. We have to use reliable sources (See
WP:VG/RS for a list of vetted video game sources). There's probably several more reviews from reliable sources that could be included and expanded from. But fan reaction cannot be added unless a secondary reliable source covers it. We can't quote things like Metacritic user scores/reviews, other Wiki-style sites (that anyone can edit), Steam reviews, forums/reddit threads, etc. --
