Fallout 3

Re: Fallout 3

I only used it once and it had major damage on the behemoth. It knocked his health like 85% down.

Sounds effective to me. About the nuka-cola plant:

Very disappointed. Pretty sure I got everything inside the superduper mart, screw Old Olney, and perhaps maybe there is some in paradise falls. I doubt it contains the ~20 I need anyway. For all the precious ammo I wasted in there, I feel I should have been beter compensated. But oh well, you win some you lose some.

Dragon Age and Mass Effect have me hooked on RPGs at the moment. Will I enjoy this game if I liked those?

Hmm tough call....Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Oblivion and Fallout 3 are all different RPG's. I enjoyed Mass Effect, Dragon Age and Oblivion...Fallout 3 was enjoyable to me for a time but got stale.

My suggestion to you would be to go rent Oblivion and Fallout 3 and see if you like them. You could even go to the local Gamestop and buy them used, if you like them keep them. If not you can take them back to Gamestop within 7 days or take them back to where you rented them at.

The worst that can happen is you dont like them and take them back, but both Oblivion and Fallout 3 are games that deserve to atleast be tried out. If you do get them just be patient, the beginnings of each can get boring and tedious but once your outside you will be amazed.

Re: Fallout 3

Definitely try it out. The story isn't much, and short. But, the real meat of the game comes from all of the exploration. I would rent it, as said above it deserves to be tried out.

Re: Fallout 3

thanks for replies guys

so would you say it's the 3rd or 4th best console RPG released recently behind only Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and maybe Oblivion? Im going to have to buy this. I didnt realize I enjoyed console RPGs so much. Im a little late to the party I know.

Re: Fallout 3

I think I'd say that. I haven't played Dragon Age on a console, so I'm not sure it is on par with the PC version (which is great).

Re: Fallout 3

I never played mass effect and I dont like Oblivion but I LOVE both Fallout 3 and Dragon Age.

I haven't played Mass Effect but I enjoy it more then Dragon Age and Oblivion. It's a great game. The 1st hour is boring and tedious but once your in the wasteland you will be amazed by how huge it is.

The main story is short but people have put in over 100 hours on this game. I'm currently on about 60 hours and still have a ton more to do. What is really interesting is seeing Washington D.C. in ruins and you can actually explore monuments like the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Capital Building, etc.

If you get this game I highly suggest buying the strategy guide. It is a must IMO. Because there is so much stuff you will miss like side quests and what not which some are located far in the wasteland.

I would rent this game to see if you like it but it is one of my favorite games of all time. With the GOTY edition you get all 5 dlc which adds more quests.

I am only 12 hours into Mass Effect 2 but it is damn near perfect. Of the ones I have fully completed I would rank:
1) Oblivion
2) Fallout 3
3) Mass Effect 1
4) Dragon Age: Origins

Bethesda games are insanely awesome and if you haven't played Fallout 3 you better.

I was lucky and played Oblivion and Fallout 3 on PC and the mods and addons are ridiculous. Make the game look and play 10x better.

Re: Fallout 3

I put 100 hours into Fallout 3 & enjoyed every bit of it. As someone said, its the exploration that gets you into it. You see something far out in the land & go "oh, whats over there?" "Hey, whats that?" Next thing you know you've been playing for hours & wont even know it. Well, thats what happened to me.

I also have Dragon Age on PS3 & I've put maybe 10 hours & both are totally different games. Fallout 3 is kinda unique setting, post apocalypse, while Dragon Age is like LOTR, WoW, D&D setting which has been done alot. Just my opinion.

Maybe its just not for you. Why can't you get into it? How far are you into the game?

If it's not for you then it's not for you. No one game can appeal to everyone.

However, you are going to need to play it for more than an hour in order to get into it.

Ya, I would say it took me a considerable amount of time for me to really get into this game. Once I did though, I could not stop playing. The exploration and the side quests were enough to keep me preoccupied. The perk that you can get at a later level that reveals all the places on the map was a lifesaver. I explored everything.
