Maybe it's because I have no real experience with RPGs so I didn't know what I was missing, but I just got 2-3 hours into Fallout 3 and I have never in my life been so immersed in a videgame.

Fallout 3 is absolutely full of complete aesomeness!

I encourage anyone not into these types of games to get it. Seriously, I usually just play sports games and Call of Duty but now Fallout 3 is my favourite game.

Oh, and get the special edition 'cause it comes with a wicked bobblehead!

Enjoy this time, the game is the best when you first start playing, because everything is new the game stays fun for a long time, but you never get the same excitement of first coming out of that vault.

Indeed it is fantastic.

Killing people and doing quests? So awesome.:P Although once you get everything you don't wanna start the game all over again.:?

I enjoyed it for the most part, although i do have some gripes: run speed is slow, it is a large world, much ground to cover, i would have liked sprint or perhaps a vehicle of some sort : maybe riding one of those two headed things too much junk all around, when looking for valuable things there is so much junk in the way that it makes the task difficult some npcs you cannot kill, when i go to a new town i want to leave the place EMPTY, i kill everything, but there are always a few that go unconscious and get right back up. There may be some things i have missed, but these are probably the biggest concerns that i have.

If you like it this much, you might want to look into Oblivion. That's how it started with me, amazed by Oblivion and went on to Fallout 3.

That was my favorite game of last year. That's saying a lot because last year we had Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance 2, and Metal Gear Solid 4 just to name a few.

I don't think I could replay Fallout 3(or any karma involving game) as an evil person.:| It's kinda weird.:?

You know despite the fact I have all the evil trophies in Fallout 3.:P

It's fun, but the character models and voice acting made it impossible for me to get immersed in the game, as I've said before.

I agree, I don't really like the look of RPG games but once I got Fallout 3 I was addicted for hours non-stop.

yes oblivion was wayyy cooler! i like to see plants..

FO3 was sick, but i could only take so much dirty run down nuclear apocolypse. the game also feels pretty much emotionless. no immersion really. just me though.

I agree, I'm not a typical RPG fan as Oblivions reviews just couldn't not let me get it although it was good just wasn't my type of game. Fallout 3, Wow. I think it's because i'm into 20-40 hour RPGS or I just don't like Fantasy RPGS.

Fallout 3 is a pretty awesome game. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was one of my favorites from last year. So much to do.

Female prostitues!

I've got like 120 hours into it with a good male character. Level 33 or so. (I play it on PC so I have it modded)

I've just started a evil female character. Got about 20 hrs in with her. Watching mutants explode in various ways in VATS never seems to get old :P

Amazingly enough it sucked more than oblivion IMO , VATS get old veeery quickly , it's boring to walk in those wastelands alone , the main quest is veery boring too.Oh words can't describe my hate for this game.But it's good to see so many people enjoying it , I mean for bethaseda :P

I enjoyed oblivion more than fallout 3, once I beat the main story arc in FO3 i really felt like there was nothing to do, and I had little motivation to play it again. Those missions going in and out and in and out and in and out of subway tunnels in D.C.were painful.

I have been seriously thinking on getting Fallout 3, but I am really doubting cause I don't think I could play an RPG on a first person perspective... Oblivion is First person too right?

Hehe, this game really struck a chord with me too... only Bioshock has been able to do that otherwise. As much as I love games like Killzone 2 and GTA IV and such, they just didn't hit that nerve like those games did.

I don't know about Oblivion but Fallout 3 has a third person perspective! People will probably tell you that it sucks cause it's clunky and you see your character move around in a really crappy way (floating instead of walking etc.) BUT you just have to go into third person mode and then while in it adjust the camera (by holding down L2 and moving the right stick forward) so that the camera is zoomed in right behind your character over his right shoulder.

Once you do this (it's a lot simpler than it sounds - this should just be the default view!) it is an absolutely aesome view, not just because it prevents the problem with seeing your character float etc. but because it's just a really cool view where your character is on the left side of the screen and pretty much out of the way so you can see everything, but he's still there and so it's third person!
