Back to the wasteland! and huge drop in GPA for this semester
Fallout 3 just blew me away, and I'm trying not to go into Vegas with rose colored glasses on.
Very few titles can hold my attention for an entire month... very few... but Fallout 3 did just that two years ago. I'm buying the collector's edition of New Vegas... possibly the last time I'll ever buy a disc... because I'm still kicking myself over not buying the Fallout 3 collector's edition.
I covet that lunch box and pip boy bobble head. No way am I missing out on wasteland playing cards and Fallout poker chips.
I just cancelled my collector's edition order from Amazon - it's Steam for me now. I'm hoping for a pre-load on this as well.
I kept my order in for the hardcover collector's edition gamegiude though. I bought the Brady hardcover edition for Fallout 3 and it's one of the most beautiful books I own.
I wish I could be enthused about this but I'm a graphics whore for FPS games and the Gamebyro engine pisses me off more than any other engine for how ugly and ancient it is.
I love Fallout but the engine ruins it for me every time.
Also has by far the best modding community out there. Oblivion can be made to be one of the best looking games out. If you really want to put your hardware to the test use mods, especially with Oblivion.
Either way I'm all about gameplay over graphics.
I love Oblivion. I can't love Fallout because the palette is so ugly. Oblivion's modding community is far greater than Fallout's and the variety is many times higher because of the setting. My FO3 has the mega texture pack and it still doesn't really feel that good. It's just bland.
Removing the "green tint" effect with one of the environment lighting mods (fairly popular, forgot name) can help the game look much less bland.

I think you're talking about Fellout.
Completely agree, was just sounding off about this to someone when I saw this post. The engine is ancient and the physics are laughable. How I am supposed to immerse myself in post apocalyptic universe when it looks and plays like a cartoon. Character models are creepy and animations are terrible. Graphics and gameplay should NEVER be mutually exclusive, I can skimp on one or the other but to totally abandon one is a deal killer for me.
They've had how many years to update this engine? Seems like a lot of sequels (maybe not this one) just use a level editor and kick out a "new" game for $50 when it's just a rehash of the same thing. Granted I haven't played it, I might actually enjoy it. There are plenty of mods available for this game which is HUGE to me as a pc gamer, for this game it's a selling point since I'm not a fan of the presentation.
Yes, sir. Fellout and NMC's texture pack makes FO3 look as good as anything else out there.
You can take your UE3 games and I'll play the game based off of the engine with the best modding community out there. Am I the only person that uses mods here? I mean thats one of the main advantages of PC gaming.
Waa, FO3 doesn't look as good as that POS Metro 2033, waa.
Seriously I can't think of one better single player FPS experience in the past few years.

kinda surprised to hear they have it in brick and mortor 7 days or more early.. gotta think thats just asking for a streetdate break or a early torrent.
Bethesda doesn't own the Gamebryo engine so they don't dictate when it gets updated.
It matters not one whit that the engine is old.
I take one look at this game, and I can see right away that this engine has it over any other. The roads, obviously, are the dustiest, the winds are the gustiest, the gates are the rustiest, the pies are the crustiest... the songs the lustiest... the friends the trustiest... Waaaaaaaaaay baaaaaaaaaaaack home.
Gameplay > graphics.
Sure, it would be great to see Fallout: NV use something like idTech5, but I'm sure we'll see idTech5-versions of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout eventually. I'd prefer to play a new Fallout or two in the 2-4 years that we'll be waiting for those to happen, however.
are those the minimum specs or recommended specs?...doesn't seem very demanding
