The Place Where Fallout Purists Whine

Evil Weetabix FTW.

I was completely and totally sceptical when I found out Bethesda were making it, then even more so when I started seeing the first few screens. But many gameplay videos later, previews and banter with friends have made me want this game more than I want the air around me. One of the achievements is "Discover 100 locations", that just gives me an image of the sheer fucking scope of this game. Im just hoping/praying it doesnt play TOO much like Oblivion because I dont want people linking the Fallout Series with Elder Scrolls.

At first, I was like "ARGH!" when I found out Bethesda was doing the game because, being a major fan of #1 and #2, I would so want the developers to go back to the old 2D engine and make Fallout 3 in lieu of the second one, which means awesome. But as I knew Bethesda were going to bugger it all with 3D graphics up the arse I thought, "Well hopefully the production is going to fail and somebody can make it a worthwhile game."

Well, I am glad that it didnt. This game looks great and I cant wait for it to hit the stores.

just knowing there is a grenade launcher that launches props at a deadly speed to your enemies makes me smile.

e.g. put in a ashtray shoot and kill the enemy

[SRN]

That is effectively known as the Gravity Gun syndrome. You are cearly not very informed.

Mine is named Paws and is a dog. He had one ear pinned down and the other floppy. When I was too old for him, I gave him to my sister, she unpinned his ear and now he has two floppy ears. I was mad at her.

When she was too old for him, I took him back and now he's in my wardrobe.

He is the best teddy.

[Crybaby Bunting]

So does anyone know where I can find the first two games while waiting for this?

[RoyWill Rumble]

This is not to encourage Warez and such, but finding a physical copy of those games might be nigh impossible. Maybe try eBay?

Edit: Yep, eBay has quite a few bundles.

Did you fix his ear, though?

[Guest Kou]

Keith this is critical information, if I do not find this out I may have to break off things between us. Look it's been a great ride, but if you haven't pinned that ear it's over.

[Kwanzabot]

I had a Power Rangers Plushie thing which my friend got for my second birthday. I don't think I ever had a nightmare - I put that down to it morphing and fighting off evil.

Keith, I hope you pinned that ear back.

Surprised this game hasn't seen more attention. I bought it this morning, only had time to get just past the intro. My experiences with this game are as follows:

-Attempt to sneak out of vault with minimum attention.

-Fail at sneaking out of vault, discover 2 security guards and overseer interrogating overseer's daughter/my friend. Get attacked by 2 security guards and vault overseer. Kill guards with pistol, run out of bullets, beat overseer to death in front of his daughter with club taken from dead guards.

-Escape vault.

-Wander in wasteland.

-Get attacked by monstrous mutant dog and mole. Beat them to death with club.

-Find ruined farm.

-Find family of giant spiders in farm.

-Run from family of giant spiders.

-Find rifle.

-Get cocky about fighting family of giant spiders.

-Realize I didn't find any bullets for rifle.

-Run from family of giant spiders.

-fun from flying thing that can shoot at me.

-find abandoned neighborhood.

-steal metro tickets from mailbox.

-hear gunshots.

-investigate source of gunshots.

-die in hail of gunfire from unseen assailant.

This game is awesome.

We really should have a better topic for this crapfest then this thread.

So....I found myself midway into a quest without accepting it. I went into a house just outside of the Vault, and this chick asked if I was here to collect money for this guy....made it sound like I already accepted the quest....looted her house and decided to go ot the school and fight some raiders.

I did the exact same thing except I took money from her to tell the guy to stay away from her. However, reaching the guy I never got the option to tell him anything.

I got money out of it, though.

[SeanDMan]

Yeah, I had the same thing happen.

Clearing out the school was fun, but it made me a bit too cocky when I got to the Bethesda Ruins.

And I totally blew the Overseer's fucking head the fuck off without even thought one for the fact that it might bounce off and land in his daughter's lap. She was... nonplussed by said development.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I'm still gonna have to wait a week before this gets over from the UK to me.

The longest week of my life

[Hailtothechimp]

I bought it and then let my buddy play it seeing as he laid off yesterday, but I did what him play it and now I cannot wait till I get out of class today. Nothing Fallout 3 for the rest of today and tomorrow!

[Lint]

Never played any of the first 2 fallouts, or any of its spinoffs...will that affect how enjoyable this game is? The reviews sound great so I wanna try it

I got good karma out of it..........so I stole some of her Psyco to make up for it. Fucking junkie.
