bet gun is the gatling laser IMO.

it's basically a minigun with no warmup time.

I just finished the game... and the ending kind of sucked, but it was the best I could expect considering how many variables went into it.

Beest part is the

big robot at the end. I was just slackjawed the whole time he was pwning everything..

They should lock some storyline specific doors. That or tigthen the dialogue trees. I just came across vault 112 entirely by accident. Funny part is the only part of the main quest I've done is talk to the Irish guy in the bar.

Got the game yesterday, after a "few" hours of playing, I can say that I like the game, somewhat. Main problem isn't that it's too much like Oblivion, but rather too little like Fallout... I think something that could improve the game is the music from the original Fallouts... They gave a more "wastelandy" feeling than the music (not the radio) in Fallout 3...

The best part of the game: Rock-It Launcher. Nothing better than getting a critical headshot with a teddy bear and having enemies head explode.

I HATE DC. To get fucking anywhere you have to go underground because theirs debris blocking EVERY FUCKING STREET. Lazy Developers.

Also theres a historical figure being impersonated by a robot. Its awesome.

Just got it off Steam yesterday, and I love it. Except on my first go-around, I completely missed Megaton (Amazing, I know) and ran around killing mole rats and Raiders, or trying to kill Raiders, since those bastards run around in packs.

And sadly, despite my love of being an unstoppable immortal badass who would rather curbstomp someone's face than ignore it, I'm raking in the Karma points like mad. I suppose it's because of the goofy word choice set there by the writers make it seem more like I'm just some Vault-born idiot looking for my dad rather than a badass scavenger hardened by the dangers of the Wasteland.

Oh wait.

Surely blowing up megaton counts as killing children, if it's that important to you? There are two of the little scrotes living there after all.

(I take it we no longer have to spoiler the whole destruction of megaton thing anymore?)

 

[Axolotl]

Currently I'm still wavering about getting this game (I've already pre-ordered it and then returned it). To all of those people wh've got the game: How well does it stick to the themes and ideas of the original Fallout?

just wondering, but was I the only one to pull a fat man off the corpse of a dead bos knight after your first behemoth fight? It also came with seven rounds. I'm afraid to use it too much, however, because I might need it later. Also, does anyone else notice how sparse ammo is in this game? I like it, it makes a challenge and makes it feel more like a nuculer wasteland. (argh, spelling...)

Not really that bad. I had trouble at the start getting energy cells but now scaling is making energy cells appear quite often in ammunition.

The trouble with Fallout 3 is:

Its an oblivion reskin, which I suddenly felt as I was running like a ponce from one place to another like a combat shotgun to the balls. Yes, the graphics are good, the engine's been mostly fixed up, but its still Oblivion.

But that said, most of the time it doesn't feel like oblivion when you're blowing a supermutant's head off with three rounds from a combat shotgun. the V.A.T.S system is brilliant for dismembering your opponents in a variety of bloody ways, but, like all good things, it gets alittle old after you've blown off 20 limbs and acouple heads, ending up being used for the ultimate 'FUCK YOU' when you fire off another shotgun slug into another raiders neck and have it fall off.

I did have an amusing experience with a wasteland dog though, it snuck up on me like my ex-girlfriend and leaped from a nearby rock straight at my face. I pulled my laz-pistol and VAT'ed the bugger mid-flight, aimed for the head and fired. "CRITICAL HIT" the game said as vapourised dog whafted past me, still glowing, to which I stated "HAH! that'll teach him".

I suppose I could write some more, but I doubt anyone will read it or understand it (Hungover and sleepy), so that's what you get gents and lady.

Give it a month or two. This game is just asking to be modified.

Well, if the mods are good enough, I might just pirate the game and play the proper Fallout 3.

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

I just want some mods now! I bet you $5 somebody will mod it so you can kill the children, just to give the developers the finger. One complaint i have with Fallout 3 is that like oblivion there is still not enough going on the wastelands sometimes, it needs more travellers, more raiders and more monsters. Hopefully somebody will create a mod for that, they did in Oblivion and it was great.

Give it a month or two. This game is just asking to be modified.

And I bet bethesda is going to pull a horse armor and make the 360 people pay for DLC that has no real purpose.
