Default Fallout 3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_3

Friday I got bored and wanted a new challanger for the Xbox, I really liked Oblivion and what I have read and been told was this was considered in alot of ways Oblivon with Laser Guns, Mutants, Nuclear Fallout, and Bullet time combat.

I must say I really like this game. I found it incredibly fun, and I got very immersed in the plot.

Put in prob 20 hours of game play alone and thats alot for me now adays.

I got the game, strategy book, and the 2 expansions which they put on a disk. The Pitt and Op. Anchorage.

I found this to be a rare gem among crappy games. Anyone else play??

Yep, it was a great game. I got operation anchorage and whatever the newest expansion was. There really aren't that many good games out right now, Fall will be good though.

Yea, I have yet to attempt the mission. I am playing it on Easy as Normal was a little too tough when I had no weapons or perks, I think I am going to bump it up back to normal tonight

great game, dunno how long it took me to beat it but it seemed like forever. Only problems i had was a bunch of bugs in the game on the PS3. Lots of stuff to do in that game, even good enough to keep playing after I beat it

Maybe it's me, but games like that tend to bore me real quick. There's a point where a game is too immersive for me. If I have to spend 5 minutes agonizing where to spend my 3 points in 30 different catergories, I get bored. Just give me a weapon and let me kill things. Happend with WOW, Oblivion and Fallout. I may try Oblivion again but I don't have Fallout anymore. A buddy let me borrow it.

I hear yea.

In the recent years I have moved away from RPG's and JRPGS (Final Fantasy Series, Star Ocean etc etc) and moved to shooters and things I can pick up and leave.

I used to do Online RPG's like EQ and that was back when it was exploding but I had a 2nd shift job and just out of HS w/ no GF and was NOT AT ALL into the car hobby.

What i fear is taking too much time away and getting out of the mood. When the car breaks often this is my "safety" hobby.
