Fallout 3

[Psychosocial]

Vault-Tec engineers have worked around the clock on an interactive reproduction of Wasteland life for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own vault. Included is an expansive world, unique combat, shockingly realistic visuals, tons of player choice, and an incredible cast of dynamic characters. Every minute is a fight for survival against the terrors of the outside world – radiation, Super Mutants, and hostile mutated creatures. From Vault-Tec, America’s First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation.

My view after playing 1hr. --> AMAZING !

Runs on Ultra, no AA, 8xAF with 1440x900 with constant 60FPS so that means the game is well optimised unlike Crytek sh1t which dosent run fine even on Tri-Sli rigs .

Some screenies :-















High-Res. screens on demand.

[Davidboon]

nice screenies Kpower. but still ye dil maang more ......

[skippednote]

Nice screenies
by the way hows the gameplay

[Psychosocial]

^^Played Oblivion ? Very similar to it except the V.A.T.S system which is just amazing ! In V.A.T.S the game pauses and you can target individual body parts of enemies. Makes it a little easy but its fun to watch limbs fly away .



^^LOL... I love Children of Bodom but Children of Atom ?

[skippednote]

^
the game looks awesome

[Faun]

lol...fancy

[Psychosocial]

WARNiNG :- more gory screenies coming up !

[skippednote]

^^
could you tell me how XFire record all the game stat data SP and MP

[Psychosocial]

^^Dunno but u can try posting on XFire forums

[Arsenal_Gunners]

I am still in the vault but FO3 blows FC2 away already.

[Psychosocial]

^^Exactly. And after having played Oblivion 100+ hours, I knew FO3 was going to be a treat. Bethesda is one of the best companies out there. They are not biased towards console and they arent lazy to directly port games without changes. All Bethesda games are released on PC and Consoles at the same time.

[*goes out to find a retail copy of FO3]

[arijit_2404]

I think I've to use Steam service for the retail version otherwise this ain't gonna release in India.

By the way, I've few questions.
1) how does VATS is activated? Key-press is needed or it's automatically activated once player is near to one or more enemy.

I remember in D&D-based RPG games (baldur's gate & never winter nights), I can auto-pause game to issue my team-member and protagonist some orders as soon as one/more enemy is seen in the map - no need to key-press.

2. The camera seems in OTS mode. Is it the only camera view or FO3 has other views also? The Witcher provides 3 camera modes for example.

3. Since it's a vast world - how can protagonist go from one place to other? Vehicles? Portals? or walking?

Post more screens.

Post more screens.

1. By pressing a button (V by default) not automatically

2. FO3 has basically 'infinite' camera modes. But basically, press F to toggle between TP to FP. FP is much better. TP was just for the screenie. But while in TP, you can scroll your mouse wheel to zoom in and zoom out !

3. First by walking and after you discover the place once (basically just see it), you fast travel by clicking in on your map. There should be vehicles but I havent encountered any yet.

i am still in the first phase.this game rocks certainly it looks stunning on my pc.

V.A.T.S system is somewhat like Mass Effect in which u can pause the game and command your teammate to target particular enemy.

BTW ... Game is good.
Not very good for me as I am not a big RPG fan.

Pausing the game & issuing attack order to particular enemy is the key characteristic of RPG games. I've seen this in almost all the games I've played except 'the witcher'.

[Psychosocial]

In Witcher, you were able to pause and select the mode or something.

[arijit_2404]

Thats true.
But it is not same as in NWN or baldur's gate series.

[Psychosocial]

@Those who are playing FO3 :-

Please post your character's name and if possible, an image of him/her .

Mine :-
name is 'The BrutalButcher' Will post a pic later.

I think you need to install Microsoft Game for Windows Live software. This was required for Gears of War too!

thanks.. i already got that file and installed it... fallout 3 is now running.. but the problem is if i see the first initial cutscene the game crashes. but if i skip the cutscene then the game runs fine. and when i exit the game via the menu and finally when the desktop appears it shows an error that "fallout3.exe not working".... dont know what to do.. thanks...

[Psychosocial]

^^You got the game working na ? Thats enuff. The initial cutscene is just a kind of trailer so you are not missing anything. And about the exit problem, why care about it .

[Faun]

lol...missing metaaaaaaaal look though
