as the title says realy thank god pc version for me it is

Magazine PSM3 reviewed upcoming title Fallout 3. It's an exclusive review, and a review that's been leaked onto the internet. One link from that review seems to have stuck out: "The PS3 version compares poorly to its Xbox and PC counterparts." Thankfully, PSM3 is putting out fires and explaining what the publication meant by that.

The PC version, PSM3 states, looks "gorgeous". Continuing, "he Xbox 360 version's textures are noticeably rougher than on PC," but it does have a "solid framerate." That leaves the PS3. According to the publication's reviewer:

Still not sure about this game. I want to like it but the combat looks odd.

The console version has been 'dubiously' available for ages due to a leak. As far as I know the PC version isn't avail yet though.

PC only for me

I've tried console gaming and just dont get it

Nothing like a mouse and keyboard for game control.

I was speaking from my experience with the 360 version. But since the VATS system is identical in both the 360 and PC version, I thought it was a valid point to make. From a control point of view, I have no idea what it's like on the PC, for obvious reasons, but the VATS system in-game is very enjoyable and fun to watch! Combat feels like your usual FPS without it, although the controls felt awkward because I suck with pad

Hopefully it's true, I'm to too sure what to think of fallout usually don't like the type of game, but it looked good from vids, I'll try it but whether I'll like it and play it I don't know.

big fun of bethesda games here so my anticipation is extremely high.

Anyone know if the PC version will be under the Games for Windows label? If it does it might have achievements and I need my achievements.

It uses the oblivion engine, it'll be fail.

You'll walk into a house and meet Generic badguy number 5 out of 6 and he'll have all ebony armour on.
