Mine came in last week and I have already about 17 hours of game time in. Too much fun.
It has all the spirit of 1 and 2, but it is like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. First person/RPG. Some folks did not like how they changed that from 1 and 2, but I think it works very, very well. There are so many ways to play a character...good,evil,science only,stealthy and deadly, guns blazing, melee only, and so on. On the Penny Arcade boards there were folks talking about playing through without using any Stimpaks( health) and only getting health from sinks and toilets that you drink from ( which also give you radition). I have only scratched the surface of the main story, but it is solid. There is much to do, so many places to explore ( one of the cities is actually an old aircraft carrier) and so many quests to or not to do...the choice is yours. It is not a fast paced FPS...When you do get into battles, they are exciting and fun. But you do a lot of walking and exploring and questing and finding stuff to use later on ( to make better weapons and stuff). Bioshock is a good comparison, but so is Half-Life 1 and 2. Just think of those games with A LOT of RPG elements to them, and you have Fallout 3. And the Super Special Amazon edition that came with the lunchbox, Vault-Boy bobblehead, artbook AND Pip-Boy 3000 clock ( that you can wear on your wrist if you find a way to strap it down and not run into anything with it) was freakin worth it. But just the game itself for $60...I say it is a buy. lessthan12parsecs On Nov 4, 9:44 am, Ed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone bought Fallout 3 yet? > I would love to hear from someone who has played it before I buy it. > > E > > On Sep 21, 5:24 pm, lessthan12parsecs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > The first two were RPG with the 3/4 view. > > > Fallout3 looks to be FPS and/or third person from everything I have > > seen. > > > It is from the same folks that brought us Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. > > Fun game and story, but this team looks to have learned from their > > mistakes and are kickingFallout3 up several notches.
