Title: Fallout 3 saga
Post by: DrunkWino on November 26, 2008, 11:52:49 am
I got fallout 3 yesterday. My mother in law is in the hospital following a botched root canal (don't ask,) so my wife went back to New Orleans for the holiday.

All seems well rite?

Of course it's not, if everything was going alright I wouldn't be posting this shit.

Anyway, some friends from out of town (ironically enough, from New Orleans,) came up this way. They were gonna stop off here last Saturday on their way up the coast, but epic car problems got them here and here is where their gonna be. Not a big problem, since they're heading places like Williamsburg and Washington while using my place to crash.

I got the game yesterday since from now till Saturday is chill time. Got it home and threw the bitch in my laptop. The fucking DVD wouldn't read >_<. Now, I don't really want to buy a new dvd-rw so I spent most of last night screwing around with it trying to jimmy rig the motherfucker. No dice. So I was sitting there with a nice shiny game and no fucking way to play.

Then I remembered, I do the media stuff for my local church. I have a laptop from that church to actually do the media. So, I took a quick looksee. Yep, that bitch has a DVD-RW on in. SCORE! Ganked the bitch, and now I'm happily killing radroaches.

That's right, I just stole a DVD-RW from God to play Fallout 3. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm getting hungry so I'm gonna steal some gas from Allah and run down Budda's ass for some Kung Pow chicken.

/and play that damn game

Make sure to switch up the difficulty once you get the hang of the interface and have a few of the early perks, otherwise you're killing the baddest enemies with one clip of your Chinese AR. I ended the game realizing "Wait...THESE are the hardest enemies I can fight? Ugh!" and I restarted on very hard just to see what they're like there...

btw I beat it in 4 days or so, make it harder so the game lasts longer. (that's what she said!)

and I can tell you where to find a dog that will work on your side.

Yeah, already found good ole Dogmeat. Makes it a bit more like Fallout, but *sigh* it just ain't Fallout anymore. More like The Elder Scrolls: Wasteland. Oh well, it's still good.

Fallout...Fallout changes.

I had hoped that I'd never have to pull this out on an RIA'er, but you leave me no choice.

Fallout 3 had it's good and bad points.  I would agree with turning up the difficulty and the fact that it's a lot like Elder Scrolls.  I would put all my points into weapons first then other stuff like barter etc.

um...
You do know it was done with the oblivion engine right electro?

Hence...

fallout 3 = Oblivion with guns and additional awesomeness

that says a lot, considering the ENTIRE reason I bought a 360 originally was Oblivion.

Actually I had heard something about it but didn't fully realize what I was getting into until I saw Bethesda's name on the box. Part of me is sad that it's not Fallout anymore, but I'll freely admit this game kicks massive ass. Basically it's part GTA (using the city as a major character,) part Fallout, and part TES. I was playing when one of my friends called me asking me a question about the Washington metro. It was funny cause I was actually crawling around one that is one stop down from where they were in game.

Scoped .44 mag =  for blowing heads off of people, btw.

fallout was more about the vibe and the quality of the fiction (yes and dark irony) than about game genre

speaking of oblivion i decided to pick it up again but now it runs really choppy even on the lowest settings. wtf. maybe i need to defrag?

You could have just skipped all that trouble and downloaded the Game.

But hey, whatever

Sure, but that would have taken the fun out of testing out my thief perk against God's awareness.

if you've already bought the game, it's legal to download a copy.

No, but it is illegal to steal CD/DVD DRIVES FROM GOD.

I don't think Z or Xi would mind all that much, so long as I burned them a copy.
