did i miss something by not playing fallout 3?

[Da_Schwartz]

Umm honestly. what do YOU think? As if you haven't heard about it's "greatness" from everyone, anyone, everywhere.

While i'll agree item decay can get annoying, Fallout 3 is still a great game. It starts off a bit slow but things pick up pace. The storyline itself is pretty well done and the side quests are also pretty fun. Personally i'd recommend you give it another shot.

It depends on how far you played with your first go-round. Once I hit the Mall (the area where the Washington Monument is), I got totally immersed, but if you made it that far and didn't like it, that might mean that Fallout just isn't what you're looking for. However, if you hit Rivet City didn't immediately get sucked in, you probably will never love Fallout. If you didn't get as far as beating the GNR quest for Three Dog, give Fallout another shot, otherwise, it's probably not what you're looking for. It's a fantastic game though, and I recommend it to anyone who likes RPGs and has some minor experience with them, because it can be overwhelming for someone who has never played an RPG before.

You need to give it more than 4 hours. The game is wonderful if you take it all in. Take a few quests, go exploring. It picks up quickly.

Many people would say yes. I do not however. The item decay element of Oblivion really put me off Fallout 3. People have called me stupid not to have bought Fallout 3 but I recently borrowed it from a friend, and while very immersive, the item decay still really annoyed me.

Are you seriously telling me you dropped it because of that? Thats like me selling GTA IV because I die 24/7.

(Side Note: I love GTA IV. Shoot me now, I know it's a terrible thing)

Yeah I am. I know it sounds incredibly stupid but it's something that really bugs me. When playing a game I don't want to be stopping every twenty or thirty minutes to fix my equipment. I know poor weapon quality fits into the whole post-apocalyptic wasteland thing but item decay is my major mechanic hate.

Well, I suggest buying it for your computer and downloading a add-on from Fallout Nexus.

 

[alwaysrockon]

[suhlEap]

i'm still not sure about the whole "doing what you want" thing... i know it may sound lame, but i kinda like being told what to do in a game... kinda makes it feel like it has a point!

 

[Scoooby]

i agree with it doesnt seem amazin at first as i was on the borders of getting rid of it but i will say after you start to level up and explore the game does capture you...

I'd love to. But unfortunately I don't have the kind of scratch kicking around for a decent computer. I'm using a laptop at the minute... And not a good laptop.

go play it as soon as possible as soon as you get out of the vault its amazing

 

[TheTygerfire]

i bought it and didn't really bother trying with it. i gave up quickly and sold it. but did i miss something great?

Short Answer: Yes

Long Answer: OMG YOU SOLD IT AND DIDN'T EVEN GIVE IT A CHANCE HOW COULD YOU IT'S ONE OF THE BEST RPG'S I'VE EVER PLAYED!!

i did get out of the vault. made it to the first town (the name escapes me) but it just didn't do anything for me. i wish i'd played it more in a way. but at the same time i just couldn't be bothered.
