Fallout 3

Quote

That said, "Fallout 3" is much too grim and violent for the kids. Bethesda has created a vivid depiction of what America might look like two centuries after the end of civilization, and even hardened gamers are likely to find it quite disturbing. If you have the stomach for it, though, "Fallout 3" is one of the most absorbing and addictive video games in years.

Stupid Micrsofot. Perhaps that's why it got a mature rating?

Also, for those who havent seen. Old school power armor:

i took a glimpse at what's happening over at NMA... and damn. i view those people the same way i view racists: too stuck inside their little frame to see that the outside could in fact be better. in a related analogy, if these people were inside a vault, they'd never exit it in fear of trying something new and losing their traditional ways.

ah ah ah, indeed sentura.

I've decided to just purchase the game, despite what I might have said about it due to the previews. I'd rather form my own opinion after experiencing it myself.

mm, really? i guess their busy working on a patch? lol

Perhaps they still have a huge hangover from the release party?

It's amazing. It is essentially Oblivion in a post apocolytic wasteland, it keeps a lot of Fallout content and introduces plenty of new things.

If anyone is considering whether or not to buy this game, I would reccomend it over ay of the other top releases this month. Although Saints Row 2 has co-op story mode.

lol.

My post apocaliptic lunch box will arrive by mail next thursday. I can't fucking wait!!

good to know that im not the only one who thought the box looked a bit odd

People who complain about the tempel of trails should try F3, takes longer than a character in F2 with the good perk which gives you minus to all combat skills.

So guys, I hear Fallout 3 is awesome. Guess there's a bunch of people in this thread eatin crow, huh

No, it sucks.

Nope I've been playing it for 2 days now.

- cons

I've fallen through the map floor many times.

The game has crashed for no reason several times.

People walk into each other all the time and do the forward facing moonwalk. First time it happened was while queuing for the G.O.A.T. Totally ruined the atmosphere for that.

One of my quest givers just totally dropped dead while walking along town.

The characters are exactly the same as Oblivion. Stiff, unrealistic and annoying.

The animators should be fired. All I can say is they are laughable. Go into 3rd person and watch your character jump.

The graphics are horrible. Not just so much the graphics but the colours. I know it's a wasteland butt bloody hell I've seen more attractively made wastelands. I blame the hash bump maps they use on everything, makes everything look worse than it should.

The voice acting on some of the characters, mainly Moira makes me want to shoot myself.

It does feel live Oblivion with guns. There I said it. Go to hell with your whine saying it's not.

That being said I have had some good enjoyment from this but I still refuse to refer to this as Fallout 3. More like Oblivion: Wasteland.

- pros

The dismemberment is fun!

I've enjoyed all my quests so far.

Lot's to explore.

Quite addictive.

Power Armour is always cool.

How you repair things is different and a good idea.

I got the survival edition for my brother's birthday adn it wouldn't let me order one for myself

Pros:

- Vats is fun, unless the camera is messed up.

- Ability to get your own apartment etc.

- Lots of junk items, without any features.

Cons:

- NOOB FRIENDLY (who needs a [LIE] tag when you are telling a lie? Or just tags on whatever you got as a "special" option in dialogue?)

- SPECIAL doesn't do too much (I got 2 int, 7 char and female, I still don't get any sex or sex talk).

- Skills are kinda .. uhm... (Disarming a NUCLEAR FUCKING BOMB with 5 luck, 26 explosives, 9 science and 2 int? Give me a break)

- Console design (FUCKING 20pt fonts!!!!!)

- The dialogue is simple, boring and just straight forward. (with 2 int. and minimal speech I shouldn't be able to say that much smart stuff). Will try 1 super smart char soon, to see if there are any difference.

- 3rd person isn't needed, due to the crappy camera angel and not least the animations.

Adventures. Thanks to my amazing artistic ability I managed to capture some screenshots of the game when it was looking good.

My game looks like "Fallout 3 has crashed"

Maybe it's just "my" version, but I don't think it is.

My new and ultra good looking, smart and handsome fella doesn't get anything else in dialogue. Except from the occational "[iNSERT TAG HERE WITH SKILL NAME]" type, which is annoying as hell. I know when I lie, I don't need a tag to tell me.

i really, really like fo3. its pretty much what I'd imagine an fps fallout would be. You still spend 90% of your time picking through boxes/desks/etc to find loot. Also it makes exploring more fun, instead of just random encounters(which I almost always just ran away from in FO2). You can actually just roam around and find shit, buildings and raider camps and such. Definitely a lot of fun!

I really don't think the graphics are all that bad, sure they're not like crysis or whatever but for a game of this scale I think they did a hell of a job. Sure its very brown but.. its a post-apocalyptic wasteland, I think if it was much more colorful it wouldn't look right.. thats what happens when shit gets dirty. It turns brown.

Nice shot's Dux, almost looks like stalker.
