Re: Steam: 50% off Fallout 3
I don't even like RPGs and I loved this game. Not sure what made me decide to try it, but I did and it was well worth the time. Highly recommended. BTW, if you've read 'The Road' you'll certainly enjoy this game. A lot of similarities in the feel of the story (well, if you're creative enough).

Being as that I am almost done with Prototype, I bought this game. The $25 price tag was too good to pass up. I am going to be playing it tomorrow probably.

I really enjoyed Fallout 3. I will certainly be getting the DLC for broken steel. |

I enjoyed it. It is a little flat main story wise, but there are a ton of side quests that you can enjoy. The main thing I did not like is the level cap. I was able to max out my level before I got all the way through the main story and it just felt like a shooter at that point. I finished about half of the side quests before I got bored with just shooting and haven't played since. There are some rewards besides XP that are good to get from the side quests but they are mostly just better weapons and armor. |

games been nothing but buggy. steam forums are up in arms about all the bugs, and have been since launch. i dont think bethesda gives a shit, they keep pumping out DLC as if they were EA and still have game-breaking bugs in the main game. 5 times i loaded up the game, once it froze before it loaded the main menu, once it froze inside the main menu, and once it froze after choosing my name.
also whatever it installed during its 1st load killed my ATI catalyst control panel and the game forces Vsync on even tho i have it disabled in both CCC and in the game's options panel itself.
ive run the tool to remove GFWL, installed the latest C++ redistributable, .net 3.5, and Direct-X.
this game is a joke. it installs completely outdated (even for retaiul release date) versions of DX, C++, and .net.
it has outstanding launch day bugs with many codecs and codec packs.
it requires GFWL, which is complete garbage and buggy in itself.
if i cant get this working when i come back from vacation i'm going to ask valve for a refund.

My first Steam account and game. Played it over the weekend and really enjoyed it. Installed and ran fine on Vista 64 without any problems.
If you liked Oblivion, you'll like Fallout 3. It's the same basic game premise just set post nuclear war. |

Got it. Installed it. Started playing it with no problems on a 32-bit XP system. Seems pretty interesting to me so far and is cheaper than taking my family to see a movie or getting a new blu-ray. So, it has been worth it for me! |

I have also been playing it on my Vista 64 system and its fun as heck. No bugs for me like Somnambul33t has reported. The game runs well on my quad core system thats about 1.5 years old.
I am trying to finish Prototype, but its hard because Fallout is a lot more open.

Thanks....been wanting to get this, but not wanting the $50 price tag..downloaded it last night and played enough to get to my 10th bday party. I can already tell this is going to last me a looooooong time as I generally only get about 2-3hrs every other day or so to play. (Sometimes more, sometimes less), but I can tell it will be worth the $25 time wise, at least.
I am actually currently playing Neverwinter Nights 2, as I never got around to it when it originally came out....its a decent game. Load times suck, but a good game....it will be nice to finish that up and transition into this, and then I have Mass Effect after I complete FO3.
I gripe alot about not being able to play as much as I used to, but man do games go alot farther, and plus I can get them after they've been out forever, so don't get the new game price.

I did some side quests, and the main, took me 17.5 hours according to Steam. Not too bad, Oblivion however was much longer.
It was worth the 25$, though I was left dissatisfied with the end  |
