Is it normal to rage at Fallout 3 ??

[RivFader86]

The way i see it it's normal to rage at any game...hell what are you gonna do? go "oh boy do i suck" when you die or go "**** this ******* game, the ******* developers just made it ******* unfair, and the ******* publisher is just a greedy **** that is after my ******* money, **** all of them, those ******* ***** *****" ^^

HA i could write a book about all the new swear words i made up while gaming some pretty intricate combinations in there aswell^^

Not one of those is "game breaking" sorry, hyperbole for the fail. I mean seriously, you say "game breaking" then you give me a list that includes spelling corrections.

-Fixed the leaving maps with party member crash. This could potentially fix
lots and lots of thing out there since it was killing memory at this
point(this is what helps fix the cars).

Possible exception for this guy. No idea if that would fix on reload. Should say though, it's not my intent to antagonize. All things considered fallout 2 was my personal favorite, and New Vegas was enjoyed more than fallout 3 for me as well. Might sound trite but I hadn't given you enough credit, took you for a johnny come lately with an axe to grind, apologies.

As for annoying missions, are there any ones in specific you are referring to?

Erm i'm at the beginning part of the Wasteland Survival Guide you have to like put some thing in a Mireluk's like baby maker, but you can't kill any of them.

Maybe with me being a retard and not being able to remeber how to get in and back out again, but with one hit of Mireluk's worth of health it began to get very frustrating when I kept dying becasue I was lost and getting chased by 5 mireluk's

You don't have to not kill any of them. (In case that confused you, I mean that not killing them is optional and you only get extra karma and I think something else. That's optional.)

OT: I only occasionally rage at FO3. Not because of the gameplay, or the story, but only because I died or the game crashed. Even then it's not raging. Because I just don't feel like reloading the game. Is it normal to rage based on bugs because they erased your saves? Hell yeah! But some of the missions can't be easy. If they were easy, it wouldn't be much of an apocalypse, would it?

Well is it?

Between some rather annoying missions and the V.A.T.S. fucking me over sometimes... I would just like to know if it's normal.

Also btw I only just bought Fallout 3 two days ago.

I almost gave up on fallout after a day or two . . . but right when I was about to give up it started all making sense, and now it is one of my most beloved games.

Sure, the gliching gets annoying. I recommend playing on PC, you can use console commands that way and fix any issues you come across. Most issues anyway.

When you can't for the life of you finish a mission because your loot and skills aren't good enough to kill a single super deathclaw (or whatever the big ones are called), that's when i rage.

It might be partly due to my favorite weapons and character build being melee based.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I raged at Fallout 3 for the first time in over 400 hours this week, it was because Garza kept running into the room full of Enclave douchebags and getting himself killed.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

No, not compared to New Vegas on hardcore mode. I've raged several times at that. It's pretty hard and frustrating at the same time.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

No!

Pretty staright-foward answer there, i don't rage at fallout at all, only when it crashes, but that's resonable and only when i lose a hell of a lot of progress.

But no, you shouldn't rage, it's the sort of thing my Brother does, and he's a @!*?

 

[Sangreal Gothcraft]

You don't have the RIGHTS to rage, if any one should rage it should be me. That goddam game keeps crashing on me for every second i play it! So yeah i threw it out the trash.

 

[Carnagedude504]

It's only acceptable to rage at Fallout 3 if you follow these steps...

A) Have Autosaves disabled (for whatever reason, maybe you need extra memory and you can only have one save with no autosaves)

B) Have forgotten to save and completed the majority of the game without doing so

C) Died and is forced to restart


That, or if it crashes, which is a little more prominent in Fallout: New Vegas

V.A.T.S. isn't a full proof system. If your characters skills and accuracy suck like they do in the early parts of the game then vats can hurt more than help sometimes. I would also say that depending on what platform you are playing, you will experience different bugs between the 3. The other problem is that FO3 is using a pretty dated an unreliable game engine.

As others have said, if you are raging on a game that is meant for entertainment you may be playing the wrong game. That isn't a bash on you by any means, it's just that some genres don't fit everyone's tastes. Also, a lot of people need to realize that as game tech gets more advance the more bugs and glitches it will have. No game is released completely bug free. With hundreds of thousands of lines of code the possibility of something not working in harmony with the rest increases as well. If people really want a perfect game without a single bug/glitch they will be waiting a very very long time for any game to release.

Again, not bashing on anyone, it's just fact.

I tried to mod it and it would only go for 30 minutes before crashing... It is such a pain to reinstall, too, since I have it on disc, half the DLC on disc, and the other half on GFWL. I'm half tempted to just buy the GOTY edition off Steam to save me all the trouble...

 

[Racecarlock]

Considering I can never find all the stimpaks that everyone else is apparently finding, and I am constantly going up against super mutants, some of which have rocket launchers, and I constantly end up stepping on mines because they blend in too well so I die or get legs or head crippled all the time, yeah, I rage. At least I got the free beds in arefu and megaton.

. However once NV came out and I played that I can't go back to F3. But that's just because I was never as emotionally invested with the Lone Wanderer as I was with the Courier

...I just... what... really? A random jerk that got shot in the head resonated more with you than a character you got to see and experience grow up? The protagonist of Fallout 3 even had a goal; the Courier just kind of wandered around and had plot happen to him.

 

[The Last Nomad]

I never had any problems with it, but I've heard of people who have in various ways. But it's perfectly normal to rage at a game, any game, no matter how mind-bogglingly good people consider it to be.

 

[Echo136]

I dont quite understand the glitch problem. Ive beaten the game twice. Probably put more than 200+ hours into playing the game, and I saw more glitches in the first 10 minutes of Fallout New Vegas on CONSOLE than I did on Fallout 3 on PC.

 

[LeQuack_Is_Back]

My sister still hasn't come back to it after her save glitched in operation anchorage. I told her to have lots of saves....

 

[GrimSheeper]

Story, writing, and lore quality makes me rage hard.

I see your avatar being a real T-51b Power Armor helmet. Good show sir, someone has to remember where that new stuff came from.

My only problem with Fallout 3 is probably the main quest and the way everything is so much friendlier and easier than what you would expect from the Fallout games. You're decked out from pretty much the start and it only gets easier.

 

[LandoCristo]

Huh. I really liked Fallout 3. I played the Steam GOTY edition, so although it crashed a few times, any levels I had to redo were because I wasn't saving often enough. The combat is fun, and most of the missions were interesting enough for me to WANT to do them. I may have raged at one or two times where the enemies were a little too tough for me at the time, but with some clever kiting and lots of quicksaves, I was able to get past all of them.

Your dad in that game is an ass who has lied to you all your life, and rather then spend time with you he wanders out into the wasteland to accomplish something that he never could actually do. I hated my father for leaving me in that piece of shit vault and was glad when he died. Now in NV that SOB Benny shot me in the head and he need to pay, once I settled that I got to choose the fate of an entire nations worth the people, I was important and the choices I made had a real impact, none of that purifying water bullshit, everyone is surviving just fine one the water they have. Also The Courier wasn't a random jerk he was who I wanted him to be, not some punk ass kid who grew up in a way that makes it really difficult to roleplay some of the ways I like to
