Jables Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 haha. i was expecting more though... I suspected it'd be something cool. Nothing's gonna beat Samuel L's Snakes promo though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Cannot wait for this to drop. This and LBP within a week of each other, also getting the collectors edition for this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 God yes. Have 2 weeks to fully flesh out SR2(hooked on Fight Club right now) before this drops and I can give it my undivided attention for all of a week. I get the feeling this is gonna go on the oblivion stack unless the story is more compelling than sidequesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newtype Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Getting from point A to point B is a pain in the ass Don't go near any body of water Head shots for some reason won't kill other humans in one shot Even with a map getting lost is easy When your underground running out of ammo is NOT a great feeling The Fatman is the best weapon ever.

Jables Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Fuck me you've made some headway if you have the fatman already! I should really stay away from this thread until I get the game so as not to pull any mystic curtains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should really stay away from this thread until I get the game so as not to pull any mystic curtains. You'll pick it out from a dead guy about 5-6 hours in. Nothing says I hate you like a mini-nuke to the face. (just don't be near that thing when you fire it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I repeated my masterful Bioshock performance and browbeat the clerk into selling my Fallout 3 tonight instead of tomorrow. Can't wait to get this home tonight! In other news, aparrently the CE strategy guide's not in yet. It looks pretty sweet despite the fact I never use these things for their intended purposes.

The NZA Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 goddammit, reviews are making me wish idve saved for this one and gotten the LE. i just cant spend my Left 4 Dead money on it yet, though...hopefully those lunchboxes are still findable later this year.

Jables Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Heh. We have 2 collector's editions here, one with the lunchbox, soundtrack, bobblehead, and another which is more just the standard edition with preorder incentives like keyring, 5" BOS figure(which i've googled and is pretty cool), few other bitsies and such, I decided to just get both. I can ebay the second copy or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Is good. Not very far in due to Heroes & Xmas tree shopping, but oh so good. On the matter of previews and shit I thought VATS was a pretty superfluous combat system, but now I find myself unable to fight without it(which makes this less like a sci-fi Oblivion, which it is in almost every other way). Newt-I dunno who you're fighting and with what, but even at level 3 I'm knocking off most ghouls and whatnot with a single shot to the head(and realistically, with VATS, if you could do that everytime there'd be no fun to combat would there?).

MetalHeart Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Cj and Logan are playing this right now. Cj's been elbowing his way into my Fable II time. Which is cool, but zomg. I needs to play my Fable II guys. Fallout 3 looks pretty amazing though. Definitely going to play this next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnotizinChikns Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 This game blows. My mind that is. I've been playing it nonstop every chance I get. Even though it creeps me the fuck out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopcruz Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Fallout 3 is just nonstop awesome. The am still amazed at just how immersibe the world is, and how much better an more real it feels than Oblivion did, the cities are great, and the quests are just amazing thus far.

Jables Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 ... Even if all the voice acting is Everyone from Oblivion + one black guy. Yeah, this is still rocking me hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnotizinChikns Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Has anyone found all of the locations on the map yet? i swear, I've been in only 4 cities (or what's left of them) and I'm still tyring to do everything I can mission-wise. I'm only a level 4, my husband is like 15 or some crap. I'm just in awe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm loving VATS. A lot. I'm going around scavanging and what not. I love having my own house to deposit all my shit in and my butler to give me lots of free water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Heh. The worst thing Bethsedia did was release those gameplay vids showing what happens when you blow up Megaton. Noone I know has done it. And VATS is indeed crazy-awesome. Dr Adam was saying he doesn't use it at all, and sometimes it is kinda necessary to just go FPS, but I love the fact that VATS is such an interesting take on the classic AP system, while still retaining all the intensity of a good moody FPS. Just picked up The Fallout 3 collector's guide, it's fucking monstrous but I've no intention of looking into it until my second playthrough.

I'm thinking about getting the guide for a later playthrough, I'm almost done with the main quest and there is a ton of stuff that I don't even know I have missed. The FPSing kinda blows IMO, but VATS is the shit, especially with a high Agility, right now I can sneak up on a group of four raiders, then blow all of their heads off before they could even see me coming. Also I love Dogmeat. Has anyone found all of the locations on the map yet? i swear, I've been in only 4 cities (or what's left of them) and I'm still tyring to do everything I can mission-wise. I'm only a level 4, my husband is like 15 or some crap. I'm just in awe.... I've found like 70+ locations and I still have a ton of the map unexplored, there are tons of little towns and stuff that you could simply never find on a play through. It really helps make if feel like a living breathing world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 so yeah, thanks to newt im getting less sleep, but this game's brilliant. no idea how its fooling me when its just oblivion dressed up in post-apocalyptic clothes, but its doing just that. Im exploring and sandboxing and shit and not yet bored, which is new for me. im all of (almost) level 6, and my guy's a pretty nice guy for the most part. before heading on the story quest to the radio station, im doing side ventures. first one got me killed by stoopid giant fire ants a lot, now i just need to get this solo kid a home. the next one didnt go as well...i really went to eccurius' house of wank the "family" with fair intentions, but after hearing their shit and trying to justify homicide & terror, i decided society was better off without them. at a meager level 5, this took some Ennis Punisher-esque planning, involving strategic mines and the like, but paid off with me looting their house blind, loaded with quality weapons/ammo/meds now but my karma's back to neutral status. i honestly thought i was doing the small town they were fucking with a favor...guess not. anyway, the whole choice thing is fun. i should really see the xbox version sometime, cause newt's PS3 one looks fine by me; murky at times but nothing distractingly bad like say F.E.A.R. i might yet pick this one up later on. good series retrospetive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 heh, thanks. really though, there's no goddamn way you were listening to their headmaster guy prattle on, and then the kid telling you he ate through momma's neck 'cause of "the hunger" without thinking les enfants du fucking sang. im carefully picking perks & such, sure hope i dont end up making a jack of all trades that's useless at a higher level or something.

Jables Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Having been through the rigours of 1 & 2, I knew straight up to tank everything into fast learner and I forget the other perk. Funny thing with the family-I'm not one for diplomacy so on my first run at the family I just went through and killed everyone before I discovered this meant everyone hated me and I failed the quest. Not wanting to fail I went back a level to an earlier save and did it right, playing nice with everyone. Adam says they teach you how to get the most out of Bloodpacks though, so there's that.

Newtype Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Came across a cave somewhere in the NW. Fucking thing was full of deathclaws. The flamer took care of those bitches.

Jables Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 DLC for Fallout 3 Fuck me, this is a situation where PC gamers like Adam are gonna be almost literally rubbing their arses in our dirty console-loving faces. That G.E.C.K download just about breaks my heart to miss. That DLC though, most especially Operation: Anchorage is going to be flatout fucking awesome, Pitt & Broken Steel will be fun and all, but with WW2 still dominating the war-game front, and reference to some incredibly cook battles having taken place in the Fallout Universe, it seems like a no-brainer to do some great prequel expansions/DLC partaking in that. I know the real-time combat has gotten a lotta crap but I really haven't hated it, although VATS is gonna be pretty unrealistic in the heat of battle(although all the more neccesary). The big question will be: With subsequent monthly releases, will Bethesda take the Blizzard approach & increase level caps with each expansion? Or not at all? They gotta, surely. RPGs really lose their function when you stop levelling up. Since these are pretty much single-mission packs, pricing shouldn't be more than $5-10 right? Shivering Isles was 1600 ms points, but it was a full other chunk of game from all accounts. It's doubtful these expansions will total more than an hour or two's further gameplay.

The NZA Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 PC kids always shit on us when it comes to content, skeet. one day, we'll be even, but no day soon. one day... what's the current level cap? did you find yourself getting there by the end of your playthrough, and do your stats/levels carry on new games? this one does seem kinda great for DLC, long as its not horse armor.
