fallout 3

I don't like traditional RPGs much. I've never been into Orcs/barbarians/what have you fantasy settings. I have, however, always enjoyed the fallout games. Very nice surreal humour that somehow adds to, rather than detracts from the gritty struggle of life in a post-nuclear world. It's not really a traditional RPG, neither is it really an FPS. The game that sprung to mind most in terms of comparison was the original Deus Ex. They've managed to make a fantastically detailed, yet vast game world and you could spend hours just exploring and not doing any quests. The choice/free will element is excellent and I can really see myself playing through it a second time in order to make different choices, because it would be so different.

This is easily in my top 10 games of all time and I play it far more than even GTA IV (which I bought at the same time).

corrected for you...

new fangled wireless thingybobs, bah humbug.

All time favourite game Rivwer raid on the atari, closely followed bu jungle strike on the Sega, Its like wagon wheels as big as your face when you were wee, no matter how good things get they just cant compete with memories..



Go's off for a walk down nostalgia lane......

Heres a map to nostalgia lane for ya

I was the same, when I had no weapons, no armour and had just started I thought the game was abit crap and couldnt get into it......then I played it a little bit longer and started meeting supermutants and got to the Citadel.......the game is just amazing and you have probably only see 2% of the entire world map if you have only got to Megaton.

Ok I shall have another attempt this weekend.

I bought Fallout and tbh it isnt that good you gotta do a lot off running about and the game is soo slow...

hardly if you think it's good to be buying £7-800 worth of pcs and components every 6 months to keep up they kind of start to lose their shine.
