Fallout 3
I noticed Fallout 3 on steam just now. Any reports from the field? I LOVED Fallout and Fallout 2. I'll pretend the Xbox version was never released though. This isn't the same play style of course, but if the universe fits the first couple then I am interested.

I played it a bit on a friend's XBox. It was beautiful on the HD tv, but I'd still like to try it on my computer. The game played well.

Just finished my second time through (I've had it for 360 for quite some time now). I can say that this game WILL NOT dissapoint you. It stays true to the atmosphere and story of 1 and 2. You'd think that since its a First Person perspective that it'd be more of a shooter than RPG, but its not. This game is perfect in every way.

So it's not "Oblivion with guns" ?

But Todd Howard said that it was exactly Oblivion with guns.
I don't buy that it stays true to 1 and 2's story or atmosphere. I'll know when I play it, though - planning to get it Friday. I enjoyed Oblivion enough that even if it's a completely shit Fallout clone, an abortion of the series' style and substance, it'd still be an interesting game.

One thing that annoyed me about Oblivion was that there were about 10 voice actors employed for the game and those same 10 voices were used on hundreds if not thousands of npc's. So far in Fallout the voices all sound unique with the exception of the raiders I fought in the Springvale elementary school. The dialogs get a bit tedious since you have the option to ask most npc's alot of questions and you can usually respond with multiple responses depending on how you want your character viewed and developed. Example: Hey Mr, can you help me find my lost husband?: Option 1: Sure, i'd be glad to help Option 2: Fuck off bitch, I go my own way Option 3: what's in it for me if I do help? All in all, so far I have enjoyed it alot. The game feels very large too. Granted i've only put about 3 hours into it but I barely made it out of the vault and through the first "town". According to the world map, i've not even scratched the surface yet. -Icculus {FYC} |

And I saw all those words, and it's so much easier to ask a friend who's played all of them so far, and says it's awesome. So there we go. IGN gave it a 9.6, and people like it, so I'd say it'd be worth it to check it out. |

I'm finding myself pretty much deriding Fallout 3 at every opportunity. I'm acknowledging everything about it that's going to suck, because I know everything about Oblivion that sucked, and I'm preparing for the worst... but I know no matter how much it surprises me, if it even does, it'll never be as good as Fallout was.
Oh well, y'know? Bethesda isn't Interplay/Black Isle and they never will be. At least F3 is taking steps in the right direction... why we went so off-course in the first place is the real puzzler.

Picked it up today. Watching the Dallas/Houston game before I install.
I'll give a detailed review (no I won't).

So far I'm kind of bored. This could have a lot to do with me being really tired, but I'm just sort of... eh. Unsure if it picks up much or not. Hoping it does.

It looks really beautiful, but as per games these days I dunno if the gameplay is gonna be all it's hyped up to be.
