Want to know our thoughts on Bethesda's latest anus?

oh Trev...


also DO FUCKING WANT.

[buzzmong]

Ohhh yes!

[HereComesPete]

I think I've said this before but if it's nothing less than fucking perfection I will kill people.

[Roman Totale]

We wants it!

[friznit]

Quite possibly the first game I've actually anticipated for more than 2 years. I think I just came a little..

[FatherJack]

I'm getting a little sick of this "you must play 1 & 2" clique that the preview author seems to be a member of.

I can be hard for a post-apocalyptic game without sitting through hours of turn-based isometric combat that looked a bit dated even when it was new, thank-you-very-much.

If it's as good as hoped, they will be able to deliver the story effectively to a first-time player, just as The Silmarillion is not required reading before attempting the Lord of the Rings.

all of that.

I've considered trying to play fallout1/2, but the floor versions I've found are all fucked, and to be honest, I'd rather go in unprepared and be nicely surprised.

[Dog Pants]

The only difference, I expect, is that you might not get a few of the in-jokes.

Moo I say, MOO!

[buzzmong]

And the back story. I suspect there will be lots of references to Fallout 1 at the least, and probably Fallout 2 depending on the timeline of where F3 is set.

[spoodie]

I'm just going to get the game without reading about so it's all a surprise and stuff.

/edit
I was having trouble working out which to pre-order, PC or 360. Then I looked at the price.

PC is no contest, has special edition funky lunchbox.

[MORDETH LESTOK]

hell...why don't they just include 1&2 packaged with 3?

[HereComesPete]

Jealous? His name's Herbert. I talk to him when I get lonely. Heh heh just kiddin', his name's Bob!

All versions have the collectors, waste-o-money edition option. With all the console options you get the privilege of paying £15 over the PC editions. They must be better or something.

[HereComesPete]

It's the extra fog and the draw distance decrease, they have to code that and it costs a lot...

[FatherJack]

It'll be the way the textures are artfully sketched in several seconds after the level has loaded - they had to pay Tony Hart to come out of retirement specially.
