Fallout 3...

I have to admit that the third-person animations are quite shoddy. Bethesda still has much to be desired when it comes to good-looking character models. Running, jumping, these should probably be less awkward looking if they're going to have a third-person mode. But once again, their first person stuff is alright. Shooting isn't really intolerable, as long as you stay a decent distance away from the enemy. VATS is a decent system, and the AP recharge at a decent pace. Melee weapons seemed incredibly superfluous and pretty useless (even with the melee skill maxed). It just seemed much more convenient to just shoot everything.

The main missions were good, but brief, as endnow said. Also, the ending is totally lame. They built it up, and then they kind of just...gave it a big anti-climax.

I have to say that it felt like they took Oblivion and shrunk it down, gave it even worse third-person, and gave it guns.

But all in all it was a decent experience, with pretty good replay value.

Dissagreed. Melee skill was very useful to me with the Shishkabab.
 
Love it. can get a little dry seeing the same type of areas, but i do enjoy the "what the fuck is that over there" I tend to get. Having ADHD is a major plus to this game...I'll be on a mission and be like "ooh! Shiny!"...45 minutes later "where the fuck is that girl i was supposed to save?"...as i jiggle all my new bobbly heads.

I just love the freedom in the game, i actually feel attached to the world. Even playing my evil character (she mass murdered all the towns people with guns THEN detonated the bomb to get the children...she's fuckin evil.), sometimes am like, ahhh that's too mean to say to this NPC...Then I'm like wtf?

I don't find the game too hard, little disappointed in how small guns pwn laser, melee, and explosions though.
 
I started playing it about a month ago, and then dropped it cus I really didn't enjoy the game. I don't see how it is any different from any other FPS aside from a couple gimmicks. I guess I shouldn't be complaining cus I hated Oblivion to the max.
 
Is this game worth getting for the PS3? I heard there is no DLC support for the PS3 version whatsoever. I would get the PC version if I didn't have such a shitty computer at the moment....
