    Default Fallout 3

    Well it's out on Friday, is anyone looking forward to this?

    I haven't played the first 2 but I've heard a lot about them and vaguely know the setting and the kind of game it is.
    I was thinking about playing through the first 2 before this came out, but I only realised how close it was to release like today, so I don't really have the time to start them.

    I will probably get this on release date and after looking at some videos and hearing a lot about the first 2 I'm looking forward to it quite a lot.

    Anyone else?

    I'll be getting it first day, but doesn't it come out tomorrow which is Tuesday? Unless you don't live in the US of course though. To give you an idea, it's made by the same guys of Oblivion so picture Oblivion with guns. Also I'm getting it for the PS3 despite the lesser graphics, you?

    Yeah I'm in the UK where the release day is the 31st, which I'm pretty sure is this Friday.Also yeah I've read about how its made by Bethesda.
    I'll be getting it on PC ofc.
    I'll post some screenshots when I do, hopefully I'll be running it on max settings.

    I think I'll wait for the reviews on this one. It looks like it could be the type of game I've been wanting to play for years or it could be really boring. I've never played Oblivion so I don't really know what to expect.

    I'm hoping this is more like the game I wish S.T.A.L.K.E.R was.

    You didn't enjoy stalker?

    I thought it was fucking epic.
    I found it a little slow at the start and a little difficult to get into the storyline, but once I had, it was fucking awesome.

    Lesser compared to PC, or lesser compared to 360?

    Well the first stopped working shortly after I started but it was alright. I'm playing Clear Sky at the moment and it seems quite good so far. Maybe a bit repetitive though, go here, kill that/collect that, return for your reward.

    I'm getting a 360 tomorrow and I've got LBP and GoW2 on pre-order, plus a shitload of other PS3/360 games to buy in the next few weeks. I doubt I'll play much more of clear sky to be honest.

    I had a lot of crashes with the first one as well, it would crash within seconds of me loading it up, and it was very laggy.
    There are a good number of tweaking guides for the first stalker on the internet though which helped me a lot and after a lot of messing around in the console and changing a few things i managed to get it running on med-high settings with no lag and no crashes.
    I got a link to the article in my bookmarks at home if you would like me to link you to it, its worth doing as the storyline in the first one is awesome and of course is related to clear skies.

    I've also bought clear skies (nice in DX10!) but haven't really played it apart from running it to config it and see how it runs since I got it.
    University is gay like that.

    I've bought like 4 new games in the past week and they're all awesome but I don't have enough time to play them all lol. It sucks.

    Thanks but I doubt I'll bother with the first again any time soon. CS seems to run fine and I've played a fair bit (well it seems like I have, anyway) so I'll try and finish it at some point. I'm at the part in cordon just past the bridge, about to go to the junkyard place. I've got the mod that lets you carry 85kg, gives you more weapons from shops and lets you find artefacts from stalkers. Makes it a lot more fun.

    The reviews say that the PS3 version has slightly worse graphics than the 360 and of course PC always has the best graphics. The PS3 has been stated to have faster load times but clearly the reviews state that the 360 version is the better version.

    So I got Fallout 3 today for the PC. This is how I reacted.

    1) Shoved it in my pants to feel all of it's 10 out of 10 rating goodness.
    2) Rushed home to install it.
    3) Fondled the manual as it installed.
    4) Played the game.
    5) Came in my pants over how amazing it is.

    The V.A.T.S combat system has been pretty fun to play with so far, and the humor in game is pretty damn funny.

    I don't understand the VACS system, can you just spam it or is there a time limit on it?

    I wanna play this so bad, but I doubt I'll be able to run it on this laptop. I'd like to see how the "Oblivion with guns" game goes.

    No you can't spam. There is a time limit for your action points (number of attacks you can make) to recharge.

    Shooting people without the VATS system is hard as shit unless they're far away.
    Also having a guy shooting at you with a assault rifle before you break his arm with a sledge hammer and then smash his head off is probably one of the most satisfying things I've done in a video game.

    Picked the wrong lock today, in megaton go to the bar and go upstairs and pick the door at the top of the stairs.
    Everyone in the bar goes apeshit and I ran outside and everyone in town was shooting at me.
    Save before you try this.

    I heard my friend saying he was putting it on the ps3, and it took something like an hour or 2....dunno wtf he was doin cause i don't know shit about ps3.


    I logged easily 4-500 hours on single characters on Oblivion, I played this on ps3 and just got down w/ a friend's Xbox version, and If I still had my box, I could see it easily sucking me in for a long long time.

    I give 13 thumbs up with my mutated arms.

    Well -

    There's apparently no install. I just jumped right in and started playing. Which is nice.

    But I thought there would be trophies. That was why I picked this up before LBP. I KNOW LBP has trophies, but I thought Fallout did, too. Bummer.

    Is it just me or does watching things get blown to bits in VATS never get old? I've killed seventy three humans, the majority in VATS, and every time it feels like christmas!

    Dunno what you mean by trophies, but there are bobble heads.
    Also the bloody mess perk is epic.

    Trophies are the PS3 equivalent of achievements. Sony was late getting the kits out for trophies to be implemented, so games are just now getting them. It's a crapshoot as to what actual games have them implemented, but I was hoping Fallout 3 would have them. Seeing as the development cycle took forever, though, it would have been difficult to code them, I imagine. It's no big loss. I'm having a blast playing the game. I found a Chinese Sword just now.

    Is it worth it going all the way to Minefield? I'm thinking about just doing the Lucy West quest and using that town as a base of operations to get to Minefield, as it is miles away and I don't feel like trekking.

    Also, where the fuck was the Robot in the Super Duper Mart? I never had to fight it.

    If you go to minefield that person that gives you the quest will tell you how to make bottlecap mines.
    Also I was doing one of her quests because I didn't feel like going to the Washington Monument and getting my ass kicked by super mutants, and I randomly stumbled across where Dad was so I don't even have to do that quest now lol.

    I bought a used and new copy of the game from play.com the other day for 22 quid.
    I'm broke but I couldn't resist this price for the game.
    And I'm hoping its in pristine condition.

    I can't wait for it to arrive. ^^
