Fallout 3

[A Tasty Burgerr]

This game is going to be epic.


Post Apocalyptic Oblivion with guns = win

Nuff said.


But I'm definitely getting this game monday night at midnight and playing it until thursday night. Straight up, probably 6 hours of sleep. I'm suspended from school till Friday anyways so may as well take advantage of it.

This is game of the year

 

[DNEUM]

So I'm clearly out of the loop on this one. Anyone care to explain what its about, what type of game it is, etc.?

I hated oblivion it was too much you could do.

The reason you hate it is the reason I love it...

Hokie really explained the game in Layman's terms. When I buy it at midnight and get a couple hours of gaming in I'll make a quick first impressions thread before I finally go to sleep that morning.

I'll make a good list of Pros and Cons of the game from first impressions and update it the more I play to give some of you guys that are "out of the loop" on the game more insight.

After playing for about an hour (3 total)...
1) If you are a fan of Oblivion you will love this game.
2) The setting is awesome (the game starts off a little slow, but what RPG doesn't).
3) It will take a little time to get use to using the new menu (Pip-Boy 3000).
4) Combat is a little tricky. (I'm sure it because of my low skill level right now)
5) As expected, you can solve problems any way you want. (I have already done some jacked up stuff)
6) You can pick locks (but it is very different from Oblivion) and hack into computers which is very cool.
7) You can listen to local radio stations on the Pip Boy 3000.
8) Voice acting is great. I guess that should be expected
9) The graphics are better than Oblivion, but nothing like Dead Space that make you say it's beautiful.
10) I will warn some people. If you did not like Elder Scrolls, you won't like this game.
11) V.A.T.S. (the targeting system) is pretty easy to use. Just pull the R2 button (PS3). I haven't been able to do any cool head shots that I saw in some of the previews. I been mainly beating the crap out of people with melee weapons.

Sounds good to me.

[j.hen]
