The Countdown Has Begun...... Fallout 3

At the heart of it, this game is an RPG whereas STALKER is an FPS. The FPS functionality is merely a gimmick IMO to attempt to widen the appeal of the franchise and reach a wider audience.

The fact that you can choose whether to use turn based or realtime says it all really. Gonna be turn based for me every step of the way :) I hope it can pull it off and remain kickass with the whole genre gender swapping.

Uuuuuuuunlucky dude!!! Seriously, I would be pulling my hair out if that happened to me. Can't you just buy another copy, rage it by xmas n then trade in the new one?

Yeah I know but my folks / girlfriend and her folks always ask me for ideas for Christmas it's around this time of year, after my birthday, where I'm pretty much forbidden from buying anything :D I don't really mind it but at the same time I really want this game lol. Well, at least I have something to look forward to :)

Sounds to me like someone needs to hide in a vault of their own for the next few months so as not to hear any spoilers about this amazing game!

I would still get this game n tell ** missus etc not to get this one as it will keep u occupied until xmas when u open the rest of the gear.
 
You know you deserve to play this upon release.

I know you deserve to play this upon release.

Everyone on this forum knows you deserve to play this upon release.

Would it really spoil things that much to ask them not to get you this game? Tell them you really want "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" instead lol :D

What would happen if someone happened to lend you a copy? ;) It wouldn't be your fault then!
 
best idea is to try that store that deals with just games and consoles and also where you trade them in. Got my pre-order in no probs plus you get to pick it up in store AND get the bonus music cd and keyring!
 
I read the same on NMA webby and found it a lil disheartening, however, 1 negative PREVIEW does not a bad game make. Have a nuka-cola and sit back, relax and wait patiently for it to arrive :)
 
I shall be collecting the 360 CE with bonus music CD and keyring from shop X, removing the game and take it to shop Y to trade the game in for the Ltd Ed on PC thus gettin all the goodies available :)

Very nice idea, how much do you anticipate that will cost?

I reckon all in all, every available goody will end up costing me £45 and leave me with a copy of the PC version to boot. Bear in mind I have a £10 voucher to use in shop Y otherwise it woulda been £55 total. I am also assuming I will get £30 trade in for Fallout 3 360 - if I don't I will keep it and sell it new and sealed on the MM or fleabay.
 
Just savoured the review in PC Gamer.... without a doubt does look impresive and the quoted 10 hours main quest completion does worry me a lil bit however, like the fella just said above - it's gonna be all about exploring and doing as many of the side quests as possible.

Dammit I can't wait for my pre-orders to get in store for pickup!!!

Well I couldn’t wait. I had a moment of weakness. Instead of driving home after a jolly into town, I visited my mate's house and watched him play it on his 360. I would therefore like to offer my thoughts on the game:

VATS is both disgusting and funny to watch :D The camera angles work well 99% of the time. A combination of traditional FPS combat and VATS appears to work very well together.

The atmosphere is perfect.

The voice acting is professional and well chosen.

From a graphical point of view it doesn't break any new ground but it still looks very nice indeed.

Oh and Inon Zur composed the soundtrack... :cool: I had no idea!

Shame on you! I thought you were made of sterner stuff! Glad to hear that you haven't poo pood it and have been positive - makes me feel even more hopeful for my copy on the 31st. I just wish that it would hurry up lol!!!

Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead are gonna be my main games now I reckon until xmas.
 
[broken record] I seriously cant wait to see what the modding scene does with this game![/broken record]

I haven't been this hyped up for a game for a loooooooong time (so long I can't remember which game it was previously! Prolly Crysis (which was meh) or Bioshock - yeah I think it was come to think of it).
 
The voice you should be hearing I believe will be that of Ron Perlman AKA Hellboy :D
 
Liam Neeson plays the father, the main character is Ron Perlman as far as I am aware

**EDIT**

The fella who says "war, war never changes"
 
Jus taken from the vault wikia site:

Ron Perlman (born 13 April 1950) has worked on all but one of the Fallout releases to date. He is a screen actor as well as voice actor, with much work in both disciplines.

Perlman narrated Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. He also did the voice for Butch Harris in Fallout 1. He has been confirmed to resume narration duties for Fallout 3, and repeats the "War; War Never Changes." line from the previous two game in the teaser trailer for the third
 
With regards to the aiming, I was under the impression that having a high skill level in a particular class will allow you to be more accurate. Having a low skill level in a particular weapon will mean that bullets fly all over the place and not be accurate - sounds like a good idea tbh - having to train up in a particular specialism of weapon but still being able to use others but simply not to the same accuracy.
 
Bought the pre-order 360 CE from a certain retailer and picked up the bonus keyring and music cd. Then I went to another retailer for the Ltd Edition on PC with the statuette...

What a pile of **** the statuette is! Complete waste of time and money. I sold my 360 copy on ebay within 30 mins of posting it online and made £35 so all in all I got all the goodies available plus the PC version of the game for about £38 (plus £12.50 I had accumulated on my reward card) so all in all not too bad I reckon - just have to wait for work to end so I can get home!!!
 
Alas no (am at work) but trust me - it is complete and utter tripe - it looks like something my 6 month old neice coulda done. It's soooooo not worth the money :( It dont look owt like the picture on their website.
