Fallout 3 OUT NOW!!! (Official Thread)

[Trumpman]

I can't wait. I'm buying a 360 just for this game because my lappy unfortunately is just under the system requirements. But I'm sure it will totally be worth it. I just played through the original Fallout and it is amazing. But Fallout 3 just looks awesome. The new VATS system looks like it keeps the style of the old games, and it still has the awesome atmosphere. I still don't know why they took out traits, but at least they made Bloody Mess a perk. They also took out the level scaling from Oblivion, which is even better.

Let's start the countdown for this one - I'm so glad I'm going to be on Fall Break when it comes out.

Check out this episode of Gametrailers TV for some awesome footage!

Yup, I'm right there with you. I even got the CE edition preordered I'm so excited. This and Fable 2 will be taking me through this winter.

Awesome my pc passes everything but video card to run (by one bar) at recommended which is a great sign that this game will run great. I love games that are video card intensive, too many games lately have been way to CPU/OS/ram/HD intensive.

[Trumpman]

My video card only has 128 MB of video RAM, so I'm going to get it on 360.

I've got it pre-ordered and can't wait either. I'm trying to finish up a few games so I can start Fallout 3 with a clean slate.

I'm pretty excited about this, but if it didn't have the names "Fallout" and "Bethesda" attached to it I'm not sure I would be. The videos I've seen don't really do a whole lot for me. The way VATS works seems really clumsy and the graphics/animation looks like it could use some polish. When you shoot someone they don't even flinch or anything, they just keep coming.

But yeah, still probably buying on day 1!

I really wish I could pick this up day one but I'm afraid I'm going to have to wait. My cash is going towards Fable II this month. From the developer walk through I saw it looks fantastic. So are there any reviews up yet?

[Poofta!]

im right there with you, oh man oh man oh man i cant wait, fallout 3 was one of my favorite games ever. EVER!!! ive been waiting for fallout two since well about a week after fallout 2 came out (thats when i beat it)

i have amazon's super bundle reserved and cant wait to get it. i also reserved and will buy an extra LE edition just so i can pull the bobble head out of it! (one for work and one for my desk at home)

edit: definitely getting it for the PC, would have it no other way.

Poofta is so excited he can't think straight! I hope it lives up to your expectations man, I'm pretty pumped myself. Tomorrow people!

I picked up a new 360 at Best Buy and thankfully this one works. I also preordered the Collector's Edition there and got a cool Nuka-Cola bottle opener. I can post pics of that if people want - it looks pretty cool.

One more day!!!

I can't wait!!!

[heybtbm]

The Gamestop I pre-ordered at is having a midnight launch tonight. Crazy.

Circuit City is giving away a free mini-guide and $10 giftcard. Midnight launch or not...I'm thinking I may get my $5 pre-order back and go with CC tomorrow.

[FrakAttack]

They also took out the level scaling from Oblivion, which is even better.

Oh, thank god, that was one of my biggest fears. Haven't watched the trailers or read much about it cuz I want my journey out of the vault to be spoiler free.

[Dastardly Dylan]

WOOO! the game that I keep thinking sounds liek the name of a underground racing game is finally coming out! sweet!

[Trumpman]

Eight days...AND COUNTING.

I can't wait for this to come out...it will mean my midterms are over.

[mailman187666]

I'm going to be buying the PS3 version of this game, when it comes out, and can't wait either. I loved Oblivion to death and from what I've been hearing, this should be better. No enemy level scaling sounds like my idea of a good time also. I never saw the point of leveling up if all the enemies are going to level up at the same time as you. Either way, this is on my must have list. Here's hoping I beat Dead Space before it comes out.

[Dark_Sol]

I'm in for PC version!

What all is coming in the CE? I know about the clock.

So I came back from school yesterday, and fired up my new 360 this morning, which I bought solely for Fallout 3. Of course it was dead on arrival. First time I turned it on, I got the three red lights of death. Second time I tried, it didn't even work at all. Obviously this one was busted - the manufacture date was June 2008. So I'm returning it to Amazon and I'm just going to buy one around here at Target or Best Buy. That way I can get the new Jasper chipset (that has an October 2008 date, right?), and if it breaks it will be easy to replace.

Stupid Microsoft. That was the first console I've ever had break on me. What a piece of shit.

It's sad when we get used to hearing stories similar to that...
