Update: DLC
Posted: May 15, 2009 11:38 am PT
On 5/5/2009, Fallout 3's third $10 add-on, Broken Steel, was released in a broken state; a fixed version was released several days later. In this pack, you join the Brotherhood of Steel to rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave. It also allows you to return to the game after completing the main quest, and raises the level cap to 30.

    Hey ppg4all,

    I suggest Fallout 3. I don't know about AC2 but AC1 got kind of boring. But thats just me.

    Luiz_AF, a disc is coming out later that has the first 3 at least DLC, the other 2 will come later, it's a timed PC/360 exclusive.

    I've rent it for PS3 and now I decided to buy it. Visually there are better games on the market but gameplay makes this game so awesome. I felt the same way about STALKER which is also cool.

    why did the 360 version get a 9.0? Because of the DLCs? The PS3 is getting those DLCs.

    I bought this game back when it came out but couldn't get into it (I have a limited tolerance of RPGs). But I picked it up again yesterday and played it allll day. I had a great time with it! Awesome game.

    It's better than Oblvion in my opinion. Oblivion was actually my favorite game ever until I played Fallout 3. It's darker, bloodier, and it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, which is amazing! You will never get bored of VATS, seeing people's heads blown off in slow motion is simply awesome. Lots of cool weapons, and the whole world is just much more interesting than Cyrodiil, which was boring after a while. BUY IT NOW!! The beginning is boring, but after u leave the Vault, u will be hooked! Trust me.

    Is this game as good as Oblivion?

  • bboysleepy32

    i've been told by many that this game has alot of problems and okay graphics, is this true?

    This game looks good, but isn't one I would prefer

  • Sprunk_G

    Posted Jun 15, 2009 2:32 pm PT

    I had to get used to this game, at first I was kind of overwhelmed by it, but once I got into it (at level 5 or 6) I couldn't stop playing! Really deep story, hundreds of hours of gameplay and voiceacting. Very high replay value... The most believable game-world I have ever encountered. I wish there was some sort of co-op though. Even though I'm not sure if that would fit this game, but bethesda are geniouses so I'm sure they would figure something out .

    I love this game. The amount of time i've spent on Fallout 3 alone is not comparible to the other games in my collection. You dont even notice that you have played for so long. Its just so immersive.

    Brilliant game. One favourite of mine.

    what platform

  • saturninesmile

    Posted May 28, 2009 12:46 pm PT

    i have never played that is so unstable. for example, sometimes the game freezes, and you have to restart your 360 and revert to your last save. you jump from a quite high place and you dont hear the landing audio till a few seconds later, things upload onto the screen pretty late on, so when your walking thru the wastes you see things like cars, buildings etc appear onto your screen when you get near, like gta for ps2 years ago, you would of thought they would have sorted it out by now. and loads of the characters sound the same, i know it would be hard to get a single person for every single character on the game to voice act, but most of them sound so similar. if you look at a poster on a wall for example on the edges its really pixelated, so the graphics arent great. its a very unstable game, like sometimes your arm and half your body in 3rd person view goes into the wall. great feeling to the game when your playing it though. but after the main and a bunch of side quests it gets really stale. you cant join factions properly like in oblivion, you meet the b.o.s, raiders, oasis peeps, you can do a mission or two for some of them, but yo cant actually join them like in oblivion.

    Thanks Paul_GameFury

    Posted May 26, 2009 6:48 pm PT

    @squidanator7
    most likely. They are somewhat similar games but vastly different settings.

    @just-me-fun
    Depends. Both are great games. It really boils down to if you prefer the fantasy medieval or post apocalyptic setting. I prefer Fallout 3 myself. If you are looking for total game play time, though, I'd go with Oblivion. I put 70 hours into Fallout 3 before I saw everything, but I put nearly 200 hours into Oblivion and still haven't been to all the locations.

  • just-me-fun

    Posted May 26, 2009 11:26 am PT

    should i buy this or obilivion.

  • KHS_Kid

    Posted May 25, 2009 12:49 am PT

    This game is amazing There is so much fun stuff to do
    I beat the main quest and most of the side quests(for achievements) and all of the dlc so far and i am still playing on that same game and finding so much to do
    The Game is fantastic and a must buy

  • bcroger2

    Posted May 23, 2009 10:39 am PT

    Awesome game, a few issues but still, ill defensibly get this game on PC.

  • saturninesmile

    Posted May 23, 2009 6:04 am PT

    i have never played a game with so many audio and visual bugs and slowdowns. for example if you fall from a small cliff after you land you will hear the landing sound a few seconds later. and where the game slowsdown to a halt and you have to restart your 360 and revert to your last save. after a while it does your head in. everything is practically for show.

    Apparently, they didn't know that the third person could be modified so that it's further behind the back so you can see more of the environment. It's not that odd-looking.

    im not buying a bethesda game if they cant even optimise the game properly for PS3......only amatuer production studios do that.
