The Official Fallout 3 Thread - No Mutants Allowed!

Well, in on the one hand it aint greed.

But on the other it is.

Good business is being greedy. Get more money....is the point. I'm not really judging either, but I certainly think that's the reason they won't come out and say it. Because they will be seen as greedy bastards. It's probably better to dodge the question in that *****y way, I guess.

All corporations are evil.

Really, now it appears that the DLC exclusives are what exclusives used to be.

Although the 360 has some very, very good exclusives. But with GTA IV and and Fallout 3, those exclusive DLC news was huge for gamers to slightly edge on the Xbox 360.

Jesus Christ, you actully need GFWL just to save Grand Theft Auto 4. It won't let you save it at all unless you sign up.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

what's GFWL?

 

[Timstuff]

"Games for Windows Live," a completely unnecessary piece of garbage software that Microsoft is pushing as a middle man between you and your game. It's basically like Steam, except that it sucks.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Oh, wow that sucks.

To the point where you can't even save without it...means it's got the death grip on it.

Operation: Anchorage has been unveiled.

The DLC will hit PC's and the Xbox 360.

Ah Microsoft, thank you for securing some nice DLC for most of the multi-plat games. t: I don't care how much Timstuff dislikes you.

I haven't picked Fallout 3 up yet, but I am definitely going to soon.

 

[Nightwatcher11]

Gosh i so wanna pick this title up but i dunno... Can't really afford it. Yea it's embaressing. But which game is better? Fable 2 or Fallout 3? I love a game with a deep story that has kick ass twists to keep me going.

Fable 2 is great, but i think Fallout 3 will offer you a slightly better bang for your buck. I mean the world of Fallout is just massive. Fable has more of a storybook feel to it, while Fallout 3 is much more gritty.

With Fallout 3 and Tomb Raider they did not spur the creation of the content (as was supposedly the case with GTA4), because it's also appearing in the PC versions which means they were planning to make the content anyway. All that M$ did was pay the publishers not to put the content on PS3, and that is nothing to celebrate unless you're a jerk who takes pleasure in the misfortune of others. And BTW, Grand Theft Auto IV, Tomb Raider Underworld, and Fallout 3 hardly qualify as "most" multiplatform games.

Anyway, I just beat the game today and I was a bit surprised that the game actually ends, and they don't let you just keep playing afterwards like in Oblivion. I'm guessing it's because they wanted to encourage you to start a new file when it's all over. I'm glad I had multiple save files though, or I would have gotten locked in the Jefferson Memorial Rotunda at the end with no way out. x.x

It's business, man, get over it. You act like Sony has never or would never do the same thing.

Microsoft has obvious ties to the PC market. So it's no shocker they would not want to take the content away from the PC version.

Do you need it to save in Fallout 3? I'm trying to decide whether to get Fallout 3 for the 360 or PC. My PC can pump out better graphics and I prefer the mouse and keyboard controls for first-person games, but if I have to jump through a lot of hoops just to play, I'll get it on the 360 instead.

Don't think I even signed up for live with fallout 3.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Cool. It's selling on Steam, so I'll probably buy it through that.

 

[Timstuff]

Steam = awesome. GFWL = garbage.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Steam is one of many reasons I love Valve. They've done more for PC gaming than any other single developer.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Finally picked this up I just got out of the Vault, and met Silver in her house, and killed a few people in the school before deciding to not push my luck and left. It does certainly feel a little overwhelming, especially since there's no real goal. I'm excited to get more into it.

 

[BlackLantern]

just started playing last night and liking it so far.....just out of the Vault and arrived at Megaton

 

[StrainedEyes]

I just went back into the school and cleared everyone out and got a key to the basement which had a lot of ants in it.

 

[블라스]

Just got this, can't wait to start it.

 

[Soapy]

Here's a tip to those who just started; Hang on to any scrap metal, pre-war books, blood packs, and sugar bombs breakfast cereal you run across.

You can sell them to certain people in the game for a very nice profit. And you can also recieve a special perk that lets you use the blood packs to regain health.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sweet.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Do you have to do anything special to own a house, or do you just find one with no owners and squat?

I am using the first house you see when you warp to the minefields, I've dropped off some supplies and told Dogmeat (I accidently found him pretty early) to stay inside.

I'm a few hours in and have only done Chapter One of that woman's survival book, and that's about it. I've been exploring and trying to level up a little.
