Jables Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just reading the wiki on this now. What month of the year is your fall? I'm guessing it's the bizarro-land opposite to our spring which is Sept? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 that's the one, though gamefly listed the game as a 10/30 release. not that that's set in stone, mind you. Ever played the prior games, or just jumping in like myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Fluffakins Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Fallout 1&2 are hands down my favorite games of all time. I've been looking forward to this for LONG time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtype Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I know I have 1-2 somewhere. I just need to look it and make sure it still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yeah, never had a PC so this'll be my first foray. At least with an imported 360 now I can get games like this on release(sure not instore same day...) but worries about cencorship, delayed AU release, and collector's edition content and such are for poorer men.

Boogie Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Im amazed to know that you never played Fallout nick. Its like knowing that Mario, after all was a poor romanian inmigrant who fake his accent just to try to fit in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yeah but, us poor white kids(baytor nonwithstanding) couldn't afford your fahncy computers, so unless they were gonna release games like System shock & Fallout on NES or Colecovision, we weren't gonna get it.

The NZA Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 skeet speaks the truth. panch's family, rich off of amway winnings, was the only one that could afford a proper PC in the day, hence my experience with Monkey Island and hatred for Myst. that's it. i didnt get a truly functional PC myself till uh, '98? '99? and by then, playstation was owning. so yeah, missed the boat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Yeah but, us poor white kids(baytor nonwithstanding) couldn't afford your fahncy computers, so unless they were gonna release games like System shock & Fallout on NES or Colecovision, we weren't gonna get it. Â I couldn't afford it either, I just befriended rich fuckers and played theirs. When we got a computer good enough to play StarCraft in 2003 it was like the most exciting fucking day of my life.

Jables Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 You're still operatomg a unit more functional than my non-existent one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogie Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Same here that Baytor. I had a PC, but it was quite lame :P I played Fallout 1 and 2 in a friends computer. I played starcraft in my new one and became adicted. Just like Ethan, I used to woke up earlier a couple of days in the week just to play Starcraft and then start my day.

Lottie Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 It's threads like this that make me regret leaving my games at home...When you feel the urge for Fallout there are no compromises. Still, the release date draws nearer and I'm planning on buying a game for the first time in far too long...better start saving now... Â I'd say everyone should play them before the third just because they're amazing games, but I played Fallout 2 before 1 without any reservations about the storyline.

bishopcruz Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Seriously, everyone who has the ability to post on this thread can play fallout 1 and 2, heck, even a mac or linux box should be able to play this thing virtualized, it's that fucking old. Â Here's a torrent, considering I don't think the game is easily found anymore. Â This, and its sequel were some of the best RPGs EVER. The level of freedom and story are still to this day unsurpassed (except for maybe Torment), and the world was amazing. There are so many ways to play through fallout, and they pretty much all rock.

Jables Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 GTAIV, Manhunt on the Wii, Trauma Centre, these are all things I could take. This is absolute bullshit though. Since I only bought a second hand 360 that redrings every third time I turn it on I'm gonna need to look at a brand-new NTSC(although F3 being region-free'd be preferable) possibly Elite this time. I really gotta get more proactive with this shit, petitioning for an R18+ rating in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 that shit has got to be upsetting. so the US one you got RROD's on you? if you're really looking at buying a new one, hold off a bit; by all accounts we've a price cut coming, hopefully the elite feels it too, but honestly, if the rumors of a 60GB system are true, you could get that for like $300 and since its got HDMI im not sure why there's any need for an elite at that point. Â of course, the PS3 is region-free right now, for all games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yeah but, and this is yet another testament to the horror that is my country, we don't have the 60G backward-compatible units you guys do anymore. the damned things are a golden goose on Ebay AU, can be had on Ebay US at a cost, but can't help but think a PS3 couldn't handle the same journey a 360 could. ANd trust me, I'll be holding off til the last possible minute to buy yet another 360, since I'll probably end up importing RB2 as well, knowing me for the consumer whore I am.

Newtype Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 At Microsoft's 2008 E3 press conference this morning, Bethesda announced that the eagerly anticipated next chapter in the Fallout series will feature extensive downloadable content that is exclusive to the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game. No details on what the DLC will entail, but according to Bethesda's Todd Howard it will be "substantial." Â I find myself not caring. Â Still getting it for the PS3.

Jables Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I find myself not caring. Still getting it for the PS3.  See I don't mean to hurt you but statements like that seem petty and diminish you in my eyes. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtype Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 See I don't mean to hurt you but statements like that seem petty and diminish you in my eyes. :P One of these days … one of these days … POW, right in the kisser!   I'll remember those works when we're hanging out at Marvel island.

The NZA Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 see, that's cool, and i did reserve the 360 one cause honestly, bethsada (sp?) does great ports - some argue PS3's oblivion was sharper - but it does take a bit, and knowing the 360's usually easier off the bat, i went with that. but not 'cause of DLC. i mean, that really depends on the game, for me. Everything i hear about this one, itll likely be grand. but will i personally go back and do the extra shit? it sounds open-ended enough to get lost forever. I still gotta go back & do the Mass Effect DLC i bought. Im kinda wondering if the GTA IV stuff will take off when its out, but personally...i learned my lesson with Oblivion. if i cant finish the game proper, this stuff's a cool extra that wont do much for me.

Jables Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 True that, I really want to get the Shivering Isles for Oblivion, but should really make some more progress on the questline instead of bloody theft missions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
