Fallout3

Since this game is out for computer, 360 & PS3 I figure we could chat about it here.

Anyone play it yet? I think it is great. I play it on 360.

mhm its good, not as good as i thought it would be. I did enjoy setting off the nuke though.

Not as good as you thought? Have you played the original Fallout? What were you expecting?

Did you know that Fallout is based off of a 1988 game called Wasteland? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasteland_(computer_game)

This would be a great pocket or cell game if it were released today.

I have been looking forward to it, but I have to beat another RPG before I start this one. I heard it is a lot like Oblivion, just more futuristic/wasteland-ish.

I dont' know, its sorta to me wasn't up to the hype they said it was going to be. Still it is a good game, but I think there could have been "more".

Which RPG?

I never got into Oblivion. I am kind of tired of all the elves and magic isht.

I am told by "experts" that Fallout3 is smaller than Oblivion. They complain that for as long as the game was in production (4 years) that it should be bigger. I don't know I think it is big enough for me to explore. I have seen the strategy guide for Fallout3 and it seems to be as thick as Oblivion's so I don't know.

I've been playing Oblivion sporadically for the past several months. I get in the zone to play it for a few days then I stop for a month or so then go back to playing it. I haven't played it in a couple of months tho.

Oblivion is really popular and there are even add ons for it to keep anyone busy for some time. I hear that if you really like Oblivion that Fallout3 is an easy transition although the lock picking mechanics have changed from what I have noticed.

fallout 3 didnt match up to the hype
i liked oblivion a lot more, the world just felt better.
i didnt like this own shooting people 1 million times before they die thing.

but its still a great game, i would give it a 8.8

It does look good, I'll probably get it once the price goes down.

Well I think you have to really like post holocaust RPG games to have an appreciation for it. Like I said I am exhausted over the elves and the spells. I can relate better to a military style RPG than I can to one based on guilds but that is just me I guess.

I like any kind of RPG, it gets boring when it is consistently Medieval times though. The scenery is a plus though .

I didn't really like Oblivion, so I don't think i'll like Fallout 3. Although the whole post-apocolypticness is awesome.
I'll have to try it out some time, take a trip down the video store =D

I know exactly how you feel.

I love Fallout3.

this game... is all the oblivion goodness. i dont like the shooting system but from an rpg and NOT first person shooter stand point its fine. the pc version with all the modding goodies awesome.
