Fallout 3

travisty08 · 10-28-2008, 11:27 AM

i preordered the game on steam and though it was released today, the download has not become available. it says it will be available in 4 hours, but it has said that all morning. anyone know what's going on with this?

also, feel free to discuss your experiences with the game.

I'm downloading it from direct2drive right now. No waiting periods or messing with steam.

Steve Juneau · 10-28-2008, 11:49 AM

Already playing it on 360, can't say I'm hugely impressed. I put it down after a week because GOW2 came out

-Seven- · 10-28-2008, 01:00 PM

keep me updated. I really want this game. Is it out on ps3? Fucking better be.

Scrubbin_Bubbles · 10-28-2008, 01:57 PM

It's out on PS3 as well. I'll probably pick it up for PC over the weekend

Coleman · 10-28-2008, 07:12 PM

Installing now. I'll post my opinion in a day or so.

WTF? Since when does the UK get games made in the US first? Or do you have some kind of connection?

Dustin · 10-29-2008, 12:28 AM

This one has been called "Oblivion with guns". Fallout it ain't, but Oblivion was fun as hell, so w/e.

FPS/RPGish shit if you don't know about Oblivion.

granted, i've only played for about an hour, just got out of the vault, but it seems pretty fallout-ish to me.

Dustin · 10-29-2008, 08:57 AM

's downloading!

This is about where I am. I just got out of the "training area" you could say and am finally out and about. Lots of NPC's to talk to and investigate. It's definitely not going to just be a shoot-em-up. I like it so far. Just wish i didn't have 2 exams to study for.

Downloading it but I have like 6 seeds on my torrent I'm using (the reloaded one)...dammit!

I've been seeding this one since 3 oclock this morning, but for some reason my upload is really slow, like 51 kb/s.

reloaded works great. So far I really like this game, I'll probably buy it.

Anyone else really like the VATS system?

Steve Juneau · 10-29-2008, 04:04 PM

That gets old fast, especially after the 50th time and you start to get multiple enemies at once.

Even the BOOM HEADSHOT VAT isn't all that.

NoseMaster · 10-30-2008, 10:06 AM

Haha, I blew up megaton.

Jackalope · 10-30-2008, 02:36 PM

sweet. I was getting frustraed because the game was hard as crap for a little bit. No ammo, and the aiming was really sluggish. But I think I got the hang of it now, because I'm killing raiders with almost no problems.

I usually use vats to try and take them out from a distance, then sneak until I get close enough to use vats and kill them before they even get a shot off.

The perks are really sweet, but I usually get overhwlmed at the skills page. there is so much to point all of those points into, I get kinda lost.

this post contains spoilers: (but they are from really early on concerning megaton...in case you were afraid I was going to ruin something)

So I'm trying to play a good character, I told the sherriff about Burke, and burke shot and killed the sherriff. Is this going to effect my reward for disarming the bomb?

Also, Springdale school....is there a point to this place, or is it just a random dungeon? I cleaned the place out, but never found a named raider. I just used console unlock to open the door to the big hole. Went down there and killed a crap load of giant ants, but hit a dead end. Is there anyway to get further, or is that where the map ends?

	All I see is a black hole, and sooner or later they’re going to suck each one of us into it. But when they come for me, I'm going to take as many of them with me as I can.
