General Discussion

Ok so it's not an MMORPG.  But it has many features similar to an MMORPG, and some of the similar features, it does much better.

Look this is an MMORPG discussion area, however i see here all the time how people are pissed off, bored, tired, let down or just plain frustrated with their gaming experience with mmorpg (me being one also)

I bought this on a whim, never having played the previous fallout games (blasphemy i know) but having heard many great things about the previous 2 games, i gave it a try.

Just wow.

I can't get over how cool this game is.  I really feel like i'm in a mad max movie, or a 'fist of the north star' type world where everything is in ruins, humans scramble together like cockroaches and the night creeping up on you when you're far away from shelter makes you shiver and be on alert even moreso.

That's all.  Hope you are all playing something that's giving you as much joy, fun or excitement that i'm getting out of this game.

I'm still waiting for a great mmorpg to come out with a setting like this, or a good sci fi setting, come on it cant be that hard.

I'm just very tired of all the wizards with pointy hats, fireball spells and other typical fantasy settings.  It's been done well in many games but... done to death.

Cheers all, and Good gaming!

Fallout 3 is a stupid shooter with a few dialogue lines. It has nowhere near the atmosphere and gameplay of first two games. If you like shooters then fine I accept that, but this game is a waste of a perfect RPG-license.

Your a stupid shooter with a few dialogue lines. Stop hogging all my air and let me play my games. If you dont like shooters ill accept that, but this game is a awsome addition to the RPG-liscense.

Don't be so hard on this guy. He is a clear testament of the reality of the MMO gender and of these boards in an extend. For every game that somebody enjoys and posts good things about, there will always be somebody else who dislikes it and will post bad thins about it. It is in our nature to be different and it's understandable and acceptable. It is unfortunately also easy to forget.

Far as I'm concerned, Fallout 3 is the best game this year. Fuck Gears of War 2, Farcry 2, etc. THOSE are stupid fucking shooters with a few lines of dialog. Fallout 3 is an rpg, and a damn fine one in my book. And I played and liked Fallout 1 and 2 when they were originally released and many times since then. But I prefer Fallout 3 over them both.

Great i defend fallout even though i dont own it, "ive played it:" and then we got a jerk dissin on Farcry2 and gears which i do own and rocks. "i have never played a bad shooter with bad dialogue" The most common shooter i have played is the ones with "NO" dialogue and even they kickass.

It's fine if you like 'em, but to me they're bland. But then again, I rarely if ever play a sequel to a shooter. They're just rehashes of the first games, with better graphics thrown in.
 

And you're gonna tell me there was no talking at all in either of those two games?

i prefer old Fallouts over 3. while it's not bad game, it falls short in dialog and character interaction. for simple proof, try playing character with Charisma and Intelligence at 1. there is practically no difference in conversation. i find it odd that speech requires a skill roll to influence conversation, while other skills require only a threshold.

also, i see no point in fps elements. non-VATS shooting should still be character skill based, and not dependent on player skill.

it's a good game, worth playing, but nothing grond breaking.
