That's such a lazy video review from IGN. I don't think she's actually played it at all.

NotAsBigDanno · « **Reply #124 on:** October 22, 2010, 02:55:06 pm »

Done about 4-5 hours so far and loving it already. If you liked Fallout 3 you will like this it is very similar but i've not gone to vegas yet which i'd imagine will be a bit different

Someone PM a link to a PC download, I can't wait until payday to play it

Had a little go so far liking it, going to get properly stuck into it in a bit

Think im gonna part-ex Medal Of Honor for this, i enjoyed MOH but it's just too short (completed it in 2 days) and this looks immense.

It's fucking great.

Stevie93 · « **Reply #129 on:** October 22, 2010, 10:49:17 pm »

One big difference is how many more side quests there are in it than Fallout 3. I've barely explored the map yet I've already got about 10.

going to trade batman, resistance 2 and maybe a couple of others for this

better be good!

whats it like?

Dr Manhattan · « **Reply #132 on:** October 23, 2010, 11:45:40 am »

It's superb. Started playing it yesterday afternoon with the intention of only having a quick go so I could get some work done afterwards. Ended up playing it until 3 in the morning.

One criticism though, the loading screens are taking the piss. Nearly every fucking room or building you enter you're waiting 30-45 seconds for it to load. If you quick travel somewhere that takes ages too. It was ok before in Fallout 3, but this seems to take forever now, and it's taking the shine off things for me.

By the way, if this was real and I was walking around the Mojave outland...

Spoiler

I'd get to the Mojave Outpost and just stay there. It's absolutely crawling with birds!

I've got one game started on hardcore and another normal one just so I can look around. I got more involved with the walking around yesterday so that's much further along.

The hardcore mode is quite tricky because you're used to picking up loads of stuff and seeing no difference. Now though, when you start picking up ammo you get noticeably slower and become 'over-encumbered' all the time. You're HP also seems to drain quite quickly. I can see it talking a long long time to complete on hardcore. A looooooooong time.

NotAsBigDanno · « **Reply #135 on:** October 23, 2010, 12:01:41 pm »

This game is massive I think it will take longer to finish than fallout 3. So many side quests i havnt even started the main story yet and i've been playing 8 hours. Top game

Okkervil · « **Reply #136 on:** October 23, 2010, 01:14:56 pm »

This is exceptional. Took me a couple hours game play to get really into it, but now its totally drawn me in! Going to hours of my life to this bastard!

dcornell · « **Reply #137 on:** October 23, 2010, 01:26:43 pm »

Hoping to pick this up sometime over the weekend. Not played any of the other Fallout games but hopefully that won't be a problem.

Fallout 3 cost me 128 hours and counting (still to play Mothership Zeta). Barely a second of that time wasn't enjoyable.

Reading this thread right now is like being a Victorian street urchin with his face pressed up against the glass of the local lord's super rad Christmas party.

Dr Manhattan · « **Reply #139 on:** October 23, 2010, 02:07:10 pm »

This game is buggy as hell.

Yesterday it was fine, but today when I walk around my gun keeps going up above my head, then drops down. It does this several times wherever I'm walking. Now the screen has just gone black and white other than mt HUD. Some rooms I walk in are completely blue, like there's an ultraviolet light on in there.

Dr Manhattan · « **Reply #140 on:** October 23, 2010, 02:08:20 pm »

Scrap that last bug. I Just found out it's because I'm addicted to 'Steady'.

Installing it to the hard-drive cuts the loading times down massively on the 360.

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #144 on:** October 23, 2010, 05:39:43 pm »

Noticed that myself. Brilliant game.Played about 2 hours so far and i've barely done anything.I think i'm going to lose a LOT of time on this.

Me too, not getting it til Crimbo

My third F3 playthrough on hard mode is a decent substitute though, I went to find all of the unique weapons as soon as I could, makes it much easier.

Mikeebee · « **Reply #148 on:** October 23, 2010, 08:22:14 pm »

I'm having issues with the giant radscorpions, i can take one at a time but 2 or 3 and i'm fucked, and generally i find them in groups of 3 or 4, bastards, don't want to meet them when/if i start playing on hardcore. good game, some buggy animation, things tending to get half buried, scoprions walking on their claws, but enjoyable nonetheless

you met a cazador yet they are horrible little bastards!

Mikeebee · « **Reply #150 on:** October 23, 2010, 09:06:26 pm »

nope, met a nightkin for the first time, they're nasty bastards with a big fuck off sword. nailed with the incinerator though. my current fighting style is shoot long range with a rifle and then when they get mid to close range switch to the incinerator, shotgun or repeater for close range all the time trying to walk backwards with out walking into things

Just started this, loving the dark atmosphere again and vast open space to explore. Really need to go back and finish Fallout 3.

Still playing Fallout 3 at the minute, will probably trade in Modern Cuntshit 2 toward credit for this..

Rafadagaffer · « **Reply #156 on:** October 23, 2010, 11:43:11 pm »

I got this on yesterday on Steam, I already have 8 hours clocked up, I think I will have to hide it from myself. I have only done one or two quests, mainly just been wandering around the South of the map exploring.

Spoiler

Anyone who finds a place called the Death Wind Cavern, up in the mountains near the Helios plant, leave immediately, the place is crawling with Deathclaws, at least 7 or 8 of the bastards and on a similar note, the nuclear test site at the South of the map, avoid unless you are a high level, Glowing Ones and Feral Ghoul Reavers everywhere.
