Video Games Fallout 3 - Page 6

Sorry if it's a repost, but I'm seeing a lot of talk about this... thought we might centralize the discussion.

This makes me excited.

During a March 21, 2008 Official Xbox Magazine podcast interview, Todd Howard revealed that the game had expanded to nearly the same scope as Oblivion. There were 500 versions of the final cutscene, but due to recent upgrades, there are now over 10,000 different versions, which was determined by all of the actions taken by the player.

That's what I figured. Thanks.

Of course the game will be better on PC. Assuming that you have a good rig.

Yes, I do.

Well, I'm actually off to play Fable 2 for the rest of the night. Adios.

My range of emotions while I'm playing this game:

PC for me. Running at a smooth 60 frames per second with all settings maxed, kicked back in my chair using a 360 controller.

Sweet Jesus.

Even after having to turn of AA because there's a weird mosaic effect on people's faces when it's on (a similar thing happened with the Witcher, but that time it was anisotropic filtering instead; bizarre), I'm so glad I bought this off of Steam. I actually felt kind of sad when I got pulled away from the tutorial vignettes, and after I left the vault and killed a few raiders in an abandoned school, nightfall came. It wasn't as pants-wetting as S.T.A.L.K.E.R., or anything, but I was still incredibly relieved when I found Megaton's front gate.

I'm so, so tired right now, but I have the strongest urge to turn this back on.

Here is a tip (no spoilers):

Do NOT fly through the main story.

Is this thing an RPG or a shooter. I have heard RPG but it sure looks like standard shooter.

It does look like a shooter but it is definitely an RPG. You don't run around shooting and blowing shit up like you would in a FPS (although you do have the choice).

Sounds like something I wouldn't like then.

Maybe I can land it at the library for a 2 week free trial. If the machine works that is.

I remember how you feel about RPGs and I'm sure you wouldn't enjoy this game.

I can probably get 30 hours into this game before Gears 2

I don't want to get too caught up in mechanics of a game. Just let me shoot stuff. heh

Its definitely an RPG. Even the shooting aspect of the game is stats based and a good portion of the fighting is done through VATS which is turn based.
