Fallout 3 wins GDC Game of the Year

 

[mcryan]

Wow, go Fallout 3!! This only makes me more embarrassed that I own this game on Xbox and haven't played more than 30 minutes of it

I just need more time to play games!! Ok, I'm on it, Fallout 3 I'm coming.

 

[Maplassie]

You better get some gametime in with F3, otherwise I will smite you with my mighty smiter

 

[Solitude]

Busy playing it now and it's superb.

 

[Lydon]

And to think that I haven't ever touched a Fallout. Eish!

I know... and just because you're marching around the forums with your G3 rifle in hand, I will play it to avoid your wrath

A quick question...

Should I get Fallout 3 for PC or X360 ? Which would make it more fitting (i.e. racing = console, fps = pc)

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

I reckon get it for PC, especially if your PC can handle upping the graphics ....... it's just so *sniff* beautiful

 

[mcryan]

I have it on Xbox, buying more xbox games so that I can make more use of my 42" Full HD TV but I'm struggling with the FPS aspect of consoles. My PC isn't up to spec to run this game, so that was also out of the question.

Back to your question, if your PC can handle it with good graphics, then that's probably best. If your PC can't and you have a Full HD that wants some attention, Xbox.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

yeah mcryan just said it with more eloquence ........

I recently upgraded to an E7400 with 4gb of ddr800 - still using my 8600GT though.

I'm trying to increase my new Xbox game range a bit, otherwise my 32" HD lcd would not be used to its full (hence I got tons of racing games and Hawx for it)

I'll spose its all down to pricing then...

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

that 8600GT isn't gonna make it very pretty then ..... get it for the box bru.

 

[Maplassie]

beware the g3!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mcryan]

Hahahha. Price will be quite different. I paid R700 or R650 for my it on Xbox. PC will probably be between R300 and R400, so you'd save some cash there...

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

but a lot of peeps are now selling/trading it on Xbox-360.co.za these days so you'll have more luck than bad in getting a good deal.

lol, Is the gore+Blood more hectic if you turn up the graphics?

 

[Maplassie]

not really, only decals get affected, but there are gore mods out there.

Try Fallout Nexus

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

No but that Wasteland just wouldn't be the same without graphics on full ........ and it's also one game where stuttering just cannot be afforded.

Thats right. The whole visual scene of the game is stunning and it just wouldn't have the same effect with the game either lagging from time to time, or with the graphics turned down.

Get the texture upgrade mods, to make it look much sharper, also get the weather mod, wich replaces the grim yellow/green tint with a much more realistic nuclear fallout-y setting. looks amazing.
