Legend_in_blue Posted 7 October 2010 Share Posted 7 October 2010 Fallout 3 is about to get a revamp... Who's looking forward to the first of the big end of year releases? Improvements include an overhaul of the VATS system, weapon mods, an intergrated companion wheel, a reputation system that impacts on NPCs response towards the player, mini games based around gambling in casinos, a hardcore mode, slightly improved draw distances and a fresher look graphically... Include the fact that there are around 400 locations in the game, on a similar sized game map to Fallout 3, and around 160 quests to complete, this should keep people going for a while. Game of the year...? That came in January! But I'm looking forward to it all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 19 October 2010 Author Share Posted 19 October 2010 IGN gave the game 90. Criticisms seem to be aimed at one of two things... 1) The game is more Fallout 3 - since when was a game based on one of the greatest RPGs of the past 2 years a bad thing? 2) Bugs. Lots of bugs in game. Same could be said of Oblivion of course, and Fallout 3 and F1 2010 and ... . Unfortunately, everything seems to have these issues these days. A patch is inevitable anyway. Anything offering 40 hrs + gameplay can only be a good thing. Who's up for some AC2.5 and Force Unleashed 2 next month as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even pre-ordered the special edition - Fallout 3 was unbelieveably good. I reckon I put in over 100 hours into that game and New Vegas is meant to be bigger and longer. Should keep me going for months! Hurry up Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New England Fox Posted 20 October 2010 Share Posted 20 October 2010 Got it today, played it for a few hours and I love it so far, like previously mentioned, its very much the same as Fallout 3 but thats certainly not a bad thing, The main storyline is pretty interesting and it already seems to me to be more challenging than Fallout 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 20 October 2010 Share Posted 20 October 2010 Might get this on release day, but might wait and get it after a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav_LCFC Posted 20 October 2010 Share Posted 20 October 2010 Hopefully getting it today, read alot of review seems like its just like Fallout 3 but a differant place and new story. Don't bother me at all loved Fallout 3!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samilktray Posted 20 October 2010 Share Posted 20 October 2010 Seems like its around £37 everywhere. Somewhere needs to do a £30 offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere needs to do a £30 offer Yeah, I'm gonna hang fire for a bit and I'm sure it'll come down in price. Saw Fallout 3 in Gamestation for £4.99 last week. Bargain!

Trav Le Bleu Posted 21 October 2010 Share Posted 21 October 2010 Hoping my PC will be up to the challenge of this (Was fine with FO3 and I see no big graphical improvements, so should be.) For the record, I've also played FO1 and 2 - FO2 has one of the toughest end battles ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav_LCFC Posted 22 October 2010 Share Posted 22 October 2010 You're going to need more than an hour pal, Ive played for 5 hours and done bugger all on it. Found a B21 bomber in a lake awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 22 October 2010 Share Posted 22 October 2010 You guys! Wanted to wait to get this, but all this talk means I know I am going to have to go and buy it. Like the sound of finding a bomber in a lake. May even trade in the frustrating FIFA 11 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 22 October 2010 Share Posted 22 October 2010 I'm gonna wait till this drops in price. Football Manager will keep me going until December. By then, Fable 3 and Fallout: New Vegas will be under £25 hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
