After searching 4 pages and not finding a search function i made this topic.

Looks ok but all i have really heard is about finding lunchboxes to upgrade your self whilst leavign your silo thing to go out into post apochalyptic new york. what else is there to it?

Also would it be better on 360 or PC?

Well there's the search box at the top, or the search button underneath it xP We don't have a Fallout topic, though.

Anyway, there's a big article on this in the latest PCZone, haven't read it yet, but it looks pretty interesting.

I think it's designed primarily for PC, so that would be the platform of choice.

So... is this all the interest the whole clan has in Fallout 3...

It is like... one of the best games i have ever played on!

You disgust me...

Heh, some other people may have gained interest on it, but I don't know. It was one of the games I was considering but didn't get. Maybe when it's cheap.

someone explain what this game is about and why Matty would be addicted to it ^^

It's an RPG that uses the same engine(and is made by the same people as) Oblivion. It uses the story from the old Fallout games of a nuclear apocalypse/wasteland, with guns and such. There's a lot more to it, bu that's the basics.

i still have the collectors editon sat to my left, played once to megaton, and then i never got drawn back to it .

for such an amazing game it has no hold on me

Single player RPG's FTL TBH.

You can get Fallout 1 for free now I believe off the fallout website

I completely deny this statement in my honest opinion due to one reason.

No staying power whatsoever, if a game is supposed to be ONE OF TEH BEST, you better be damn sure you're gonna be picking it up and playing it in 5 years, not just have it sit on your shelf, that is what breaks "great" and great games.

Hmm, tbh, I have played some really great games that just couldn't hold me. They were really well done, the graphics were strong, the gameplay was great, but they just lacked the magic staying power.

Like Crysis.

Well once you've cleared it once or twice it will become a dust collector or get traded.

But i think its really immersive, once you get a few hours into it and your character is developed, the story starts to get get going and you lose yourself in it.


That statement is wrong in so many ways.
Your so called "MaMORPaGeRs" are just grinding and a few basic quests, repeated over and over with a different name.

Single player RPGs can be alot deeper. They (mostly) have good characters & a decent plot which make for much more entertainment than grinding...

I haven't come across any form of grinding in EQ2 so far. I never have nothing to do when I get online - there's always a new and unique quest I could be doing. And there are literally hundreds of areas that I haven't even set foot in yet!



But as you said earlier.. "Well once you've cleared it once or twice it will become a dust collector or get traded."

Edit: To be honest... I can't play offline games. I have nobody to talk to, nobody to share my achievements with.. a load of time wasted for me.

Talk to yourself or the NPCs

He's right MMO's are one of the best ways to play games, if anything got me into online games it was WoW and a bit of guild wars

I hate MMOs with a VENGENCE!!!! tbh.

There are only a signifigantly small amount of people on them who aren't complete pricks and you have to pay to play a game you've already bought!?! Like WTF!?!

Kind of like you donate to the TCHS servers to keep them going

Only difference is you already PAID for the <LOOK MA, I AM SWEARING> license to play the game, you shouldn't have to pay again.

Then again, the upkeep cost of the servers IS massive.

Chav

Guild Wars you only have to pay for once and it's like £15, it's quite good but WoW is better

TBH is chav? WTF!?

1. TBH is chat speak not chav.

2. Guild wars is very good until you complete it. Very good involving story, nice graphics still for its age i think. But downside to GW's is it's easy to get bpred after you finish story as quests run out and aren't very interesting.....

But freeness appeals to me and WoW doesn't.....

It is where I come from, it wasn't but it's slowly getting into their burberry vocabulary, as is n00b

Well that just makes them lame theives. Some people at my old school used the word n00b and they were incredibly anti-geek. And then claimed it was their word. I lol'd.
