Ian C Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I don't have time to play it I started FO3 again and got the GOTY edition for the DLC packs but that's still in the shrinkwrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Saw this advertised yesterday, looked like a rather interesting game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Why is it not out today? And do I buy the PC version, which is cheaper and I can play it at a higher resolution... or the console version? Decisions decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I have pre-ordered the special edition version from GAME, it looks awesome, I loved FO3, I did all the add ons, it was great sneaking around blowing mutants heads off with that huge gauge rifle. Only 5 days to go I have been told by Game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decisions decisions. Definitely the console version buddy! Just think; Worse graphics, worse resolutions, stupid controls, dumbed down game play, costs more.

The-Plethora Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Pre ordered off steam last night. I had Fallout 3 on the XBox which I like a lot but still prefer to play with keyboard and mouse, hope my investment in a 5770 crossfire makes it look nice and pretty and on holiday from Wednesday so plenty of time to mess about on it Only thing I hope it doesnt have though is one of those annoyingly long tutorials before you can go out and do your own thing.

caseys Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Definitely the console version buddy! Just think; Worse graphics, worse resolutions, stupid controls, dumbed down game play, costs more. SOLD! I bought FO3 on both PC and PS3. I enjoyed the PC one after I'd played it normally to death by then using console to make the world very amusing - i.e take on the world with melee weapons and making dogmeat invulnerable Seems to be quite good stress relief going round the wasteland beating everything to death at close quarters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 And now the PC version is available for theft Not surprising as the retail version is now available in the US Some of the comments from the US fanbase are a bit concerning, some say they have completed the main plot in 4 hours Not sure how true that is... Just downloading to take a sneaky look before it's released on Steam this Friday, will let you know what it's like (no spoilers though!)

a98pmalcolm Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 had it on re order for agessssssssssssss now lol its goin to be cum tastic! I did pre order the limited edition but think it will be a waste of money as there is no in game extras... will see when i collect it Oh just a thought, Homer your a mod, there is so much game talk on this fourm i think over 50% of us are die hard gamers lol. So yo should change this to "The MKIV Super Owners and Gamers Club" lol and if your a paid member you get a % off games off steam, xbox live and the playstion Network. Sounds good to me Oh and i'll be on PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Some of the comments from the US fanbase are a bit concerning, some say they have completed the main plot in 4 hours Not sure how true that is... That is quite worrying, but then I was disappointed at how short the main story line was in Fallout 3. It was only because of all the side plots you get caught up in that takes up all your time. If you actually just stuck to what is needed to complete the game it wouldn't take you that long at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I tend to agree, The main plot could be done in 6 hours tops in fallout 3. I would guess if you knew what to do even less. Aslong as i can bash mole rats in the head with somthing large and metal its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Just read the IGN review, they are saying its better than fallout 3, the new mode is awesome and there is a good 50 hours of game play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 3 hours to go I cannot see any way the main plot could be completed in anywhere near the time some people are saying, let alone 4 hours! There seems to be a similar level of content as Fallout 3, perhaps a little less, but I've only get a few hours into it. Graphics are improved, some nice new effects and the enviroments feel a more realistic than Fallout 3. It does need more GFX power to run, Fallout 3 used to run in Ultra at full res, but now had to go to High settings and a little less than closer to 720p, even then the frame rate is a bit lower than I prefer. One thing though, I hope the main release has all the bugs fixed, the leaked version has shown a number of issues already (getting stuck in a spot, poor enemy AI, very difficult to shoot people due to the incredibly random way they move around, being shot from people so far away you can't even see them, very slow to get to the pip-boy in a fight - making it difficult to heal or swap weapons, plus lots more) It is a leaked copy so is probably not the finished item. I have noticed 3 updates go into my steam pre-loaded copy since Monday, so hopefully they are patching it before the main release tomorrow.

Can I ask what GPU you're running Homer? I have a 4890 and wanting to get a 5xxx series card to flash it but can't until I can sell my 4890. Shame games are so GPU dependant... my machine's a 3Ghz 8-core beastie! Yet I need a decent GPU for the AA etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you have too much to worry about, I only have a a 9800GTX+, which is only 60% the power of a 4890 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
