Fallout 3

    Quote from PogoP

    I've played the first two, thought they were OK; but they're very dated now.

    So? Half-Life's really dated but it's still awesome? Doom, Quake, the list goes on. Just becasue the first two are old doesn't mean they are any less awesome than they were before. I think people are wetting themselfs over fallout 3 is becasue

    a) It's first person where you get to shootz0r t3h m0nst0rz.

    b) omg it has much more purty graphics than the first 2! The first 2 sux cuz dey have crappe graphix!11

    c) It was demonstrated as a console shooting game first, and RPG second.

    And that link stolve posted a while ago about the teacher making his students who were all OMGZ1!! for fallout 3, made them play fallout and it drastically changed their view on it. I wonder why?

    Fallout 1/2 don't have crappy graphics. They have EYE STRAINING graphics. They're simply painful to look at, especially on a modern monitor.

    Also Fallout 2 is just as shitty now as it was when it came out. It's a shitty game. Pimp ur wife omg! Be a porn star! Explore horribly designed environments! :roll:

    Quake 1 hasn't aged well either (I went back and tried it recently), though Doom and HL1 have.

    I've got a friend who was a big fan of Fallout 1/2 and is wetting himself over Fallout 3 because

    a) It's a modern 3d Fallout

    b) It has the Fallout feel and humor

    c) It has that wonderful Fallout/ES exploration focus

    d) Realistically expected options (His example: "Fuck you, I ain't sacrificing myself. You do it.")

    It's not as dated as Fallout. To me, Fallout seems archaic, both in terms of graphics (not fussed about) and gameplay. I just don't like it that much, but maybe I'm just a little too impatient to get into it... Spent a week trying to like it, but couldn't.

    Fallout 3 is a lot easier to get into for sure. Though fallout 1 being a lot harder to get into, is a lot more rewarding I find. I'm already level 20 in Fallout 3 with enough bullets to kill everyone in the wasteland 5 times over.

    I thought I was that badass in the game as well, and then I got to exploring some areas I had unexplored, especially the NW part of the map, hell, was I in for a hard fight. Had to use my stored drugs to survive, and then I got addicted to them while underground (no fast travel back home to desintoxicate) and had to strive to survive.

    And I played F1 at least 3 times full-run a and a couple failed attempts. And I'm all over F3

    Edit: Speeling

    Been playing some more. What sucks is that everyone is hostile. There is no way to talk to people unless you are suppose to speak to them..

    This game is so child friendly with their ultra obvious picks when it comes to dialogue, it's like you know the outcome before you say it.

    Also, it doesn't really feel like an RPG, all I look for is money and ammo, and all I do is shoot. Feels like an ok FPS so far.

    Btw., give me a spoiler on how to get to the radio tower, been in every direction, and all it does is to lead me to another metro enterance\exit.

    You need to go into that metro station.

    Yeah I just spotted the incorrect BoS signs all over the place.

    There are so many things in this game that doesn't add up.

    i'm constantly running out of ammo and have to stop quests halfway through to go complete other quests just so i can get ammo. fuck fire breathing ants.

    Yeah.. That was a bitch.. And contrary to what you read or hear people say, don't shoot for the antennae.. They're hard to hit and just don't beat lobbing their heads off instead. It just makes them confused and they might attack their own.. Or they get frenzied and approach you even faster. So.. Yeah. Headshots from afar with the hunting rifle - combat shotgun up close

    After playing some hours, i found what is the most annoying thing in the game : Level design incoherences.

    It's the same problem as in oblivion, it wastes all the immersion sometimes. Like in littlelamplight, why did they made a city that big for a bunch of about 8 kids, and how did those kids attached the wooden bridges to the roof of the fucking cavern. Or the dunwich building which seemed to be a donjon comming straight out of oblivion, there's even an evil shrine, jesus.

    The start is really great, megatown is pretty polished, but the rest of the game except at some key points suffers from a too simple level design. That's too bad, because the more i explore the wastes, the more i find the dialogues to be shortened, the gameplay simplified and encounters being random .

    Yeah me too:
