Anyone have it? Good, bad?


I loved the first two, and tactics of course.

a few of my friends are hardcore addicted to the game. i came across a copy and have just started the game. so far its interesting, but im a terrible judge of single player. i get bored playing by myself.

I've been playing it and its incredible.

I think Bethsoft did a great job on continuing the Fallout Universe. The game is huge though, you can wander off and find all kinds of things to explore. There have been complaints about the main quest that its too short. I've been taking my time and mixing side quests in with the main quest.

Its my understanding that once you finish the main quest, you can't continue playing the game. Hope they change this in a patch.

It'll be interesting to see too if they add expansions (similar to Oblivion) to expand the game further.

I have it for PS3 and I really like it. The only reason I didn't get the PC version is i wanted to play on a bigger screen. My friend has the PC though and if you have a good computer, it's got a little better graphics.

The VATS system for combat is really nice, especially when using a controller that isnt as precise as mouse/keyboard, plus the shooting minicutscenes are really cool and entertaining. Also it's very fast so it doesnt prolong combat at all, it's actually faster than trying to take it down through the crosshair alone.

Otherwise, the story is entertaining, the environment is amazingly detailed and really fun to experience. The overall feel of the game is just really absorbing.

If you couldn't tell, I recommend it if you are even remotely interested.

Been playing it as well this weekend. I played Oblivion a lot and this is a nice mesh of Oblivion and Fallout. The old Interplay sense of humor is generally lacking, but it surfaces strongly from time to time.

Actually, I just finished the main quest. I should definitely not have played it straight through, as I clearly missed a LOT of the game. Oblivion had the same flaw: you are supposed to want to explore a lot, yet the main quest seems like it would be something on which your character would concentrate.

The artwork and music are, by the way, very compelling.
