Alty · 12 Oct 2008 at 18:25

Went into town today and pre-ordered the CE for 360 and the Ltd Ed for PC - woo woo indeedy doo

Strife212 · 12 Oct 2008 at 18:28

Does the PC one really have Live Acheivements? If it does I will get it on PC for sure!

Edit: Games For Windows and Games For Windows LIVE isn't the same thing, Crysis is a games for windows game and it certainly doesn't have achievements.

The only ones I know of that do are Gears of War and Shadowrun.

Edit 2: Yes it is, thats awesome! For anyone that doesn't know that means that fallout will be added to your xbox 360 gamerscore.

That's so good, I will get the game on PC now then. It gives you goals, oblivion on PC went untouched but I am master of every guild and completed the main quest on the xbox version

Amnesia · 12 Oct 2008 at 21:10

I dunno!

I have so many games that I've played an hour of then abandoned, don't have the urge to play them any more.

psychas · 13 Oct 2008 at 08:41

dont u have to pay for windows live? how u can play the game if u dont want to pay for the windows live ? no interest of windows live what the point playing on pc getting some kinda achievements on xbox fail tbh

nands · 13 Oct 2008 at 09:17

Windows Live is free now but I agree about not wanting to play unless you get 'achievements' - what about enjoying the game for what it is?

Heatsinked · 13 Oct 2008 at 11:38

Achievements don't bother me and I usually just ignore them, although I must admit I enjoyed some of them in Half-Life Episode 2 and TF2. I'm hoping that some of the achievements in Fallout 3 are at least humorous and in keeping with the general theme of the game. I would also like the ability to turn them off completely so I don’t get little message boxes pop-up thus interrupting the atmosphere.
