"… Fallout 3 is a must-have title for most RPG fans, as well as one of the finest games of this generation."

UGO

"Fallout 3 manages to hit the nail on the head on all of those fronts, offering an incredibly compelling, massive world to explore, kick ass RPG-shooter gameplay and a story that'll keep your attention well through its many, many hours."

"... this is the kind of hugely ambitious game that doesn't come around very often, and when it does, you'd be a fool not to play it and enjoy the hell out of it and look forward to the day (next-next-gen?) when the fidelity of open-world RPGs takes another big step closer to the uncanny valley's far side."

“That’s the beauty of survival, and this world of fallout: It feeds on adventure and breathes in freedom, yet it dreams of order and the safety of the Vault.”

Associated Press
4/4
"Bethesda's previous release, "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion," was my runner-up for game of the year in 2006. I doubt "Fallout 3" will have to settle for second place in 2008"

VideoGamer
9/10
"This is a massive game: in a month that's seen the release of five or six of the year's best titles, I reckon this is the absolute peach. It's packed with interesting places, with choices to make, with that nebulous sense of adventure you only find in the best RPGs."

"From the hollow wind blowing down through subway tunnels, to the radioactive dust clouds swirling throughout the wasteland, up to the buzzards circling the encampment where the bodies of 30 slave traders lie; Fallout 3 is as much a game as it is a training sim for the coming apocalypse."

[Istik]

Ill be playing it as soon as I can

Before Gelf arrived, i was playing Far Cry 2. Which is like Assassin's Creed, but in the Jungle. Great looking game, but lacking a little in variation.

[swalmy]

So is the game good?

[eirykhi]

is it only for a game system? can i play it on my pc ?

[Lores]

It's for PC too. I got the PC version. Much fun to be had.

[Toucan]

it's out here tomorrow and i'll be all over it like a paedo in a playground

[gelfling]

I'd love to play this If Istik lets me

[Toucan]

oblivion with guns and explosions
guns and explosions were the only thing missing from oblivion

it's actually a bit overwhelming at 1st
once you get past the kinda intro segment in the vault and into the free world it realy is quite daunting

SPOILER





1st thing i found was a town where dear old daddy (who is voiced by liam neeson) is supposed to be
the town was full of quests and people to speak to
so ignored them all, went to the pub,spoke to a dodgy looking guy, shagged a hooker, killed her, fled the city and nuked it from afar
for all i know i've killed the father

i'm glad i've got 4 days off work

[Toucan]

oh, and you can drink water out the bog

[Lores]

SPOILER






you didnt kill the father. Head to GNR headquters. You better man up too. There is a big fellow there.

[Toucan]

lol took me 7 hours to find that damned place

just came across the best thing i have ever seen in a game

THE PINT-SIZED SLASHER!!!!
spoilers






you get to play as a little kid in a clown mask with a big fuck off kitchen knife and run about a 50's american suburb slaughtering everyone

[Lores]

I got some strange perk where when I use VATS I have about a 10% chance for this Secret Agent guy to omceout and kill my mob for me

What happens after level 20?

[Toucan]

dunno, i'm only at lvl 14
i think 20 is the cap tho,so no more perks after that

[Parrot]

Geeks

[Toucan]

just finished it

last spoiler...








the last section, where you are part of an army following a 100ft robot that shoots lazers out it's eyes whilst shouting "chose democracy or be destroyed" is outstanding


only took me 20 hrs to finish and i only got to lvl 16, so i guess a rerun is in order

[Lores]

You must have missed so much. You can get a free house in Megton if you defuse the bomb.

[Istik]

You must have missed so much. You can get a free house in Megton if you defuse the bomb.

Just been reading the official Fallout3 forum and there are folks whining about not getting player housing. Obviously a lot of people decided to blow up megaton and havent played much of the game.

The house in Megaton gives you a place to get free drugs and cola, also has a personal Robot assistant. Has a healing station and can be fitted out with various decor themes. Apparently there are much better houses later in the game.

[Toucan]

if you blow up megaton, you get a house in tenpenny heights, although that was the only house i got

oh, and dont do the final quest until you've done everything you want. there is no freeplaying open world after you finish it

[Lores]

Next time thru I will kill everyone muhaha. I got the players guide last Friday.

[Toucan]

i always do the bad guy option 1st in games that have choices, much more fun

[eirykhi]

thats y i dont buy xbox or ps3 spend all thay money and beat it in a week

[Toucan]

a week?
hell no took me less than 2 days


to be fair, i went back a couple of saves and went exploring againa today. found some entire cities i havent been to yet
still plenty to go

[Lores]

Ive had it since last Wednesday morning. Im only maybe a third of the way thru. Im trying to do most of it. If you like a game with alot of looting this is for you. VERY simple crafting to repair and upgrade weapons. Huge varity of things to do. I think it has 100 or so hours easily. Roughly the size of Oblivion.

[Lores]

Now to be EEEvil

[Toucan]

be careful bef reo you go totally nuts as a bad guy
i walked into the ghoul city, popped out my shotgun and started spraying them, and now i cant go back in without getting mobbed

[Lores]

roger roger

[Istik]

You cant have done all the side quests already Lores.

[Lores]

You know I dont sleep?


Seriously, I did about 2/3's. Saved some for 2nd run thru. I have the NE 2 zone's and the SW 1 zone. Area's 2, 3 and 7 if you have the map. Finished as level 18 with 40 dam P)lasma Guns and of course, power armour.

Fight the POWER.

No prototype medic power armour? It talks to you, alerts you of enemies and heals you Or possibly the Tesla Armour.

[Lores]

Hey man, I one shot that Autumn guy at the end as it was. I turned it up to hard for second play thru.
