And yes, although I haven't finished TWAU or TWD Season 2 and it's because of that I don't like buying episodic games before they are finished. It's really hard to keep up the suspense and interest when you have to wait two or three months between each episode. I mean one of the more recent Telltale series, Tales from the Borderlands had a 4 month gap between episode 1 and episode 2, that's just a little too long for me. I treat these games like I would be bingewatching a TV series on Netflix, just something to do over the course of an afternoon, like what I did with TWD Season 1.

How does TWAU compare to TWD, as I think TWD is pretty stunning?

It's pretty good, although it plays more as interactive fiction and less like a game, but from what I remember of TWD Season 2 there wasn't a lot of puzzling to be had. However it's a Telltale game so you should give it a go, if you liked one you'll most likely like the other.

Fallout 3

I'm giving this game a go again because I don't really think I gave it a fair chance when I started playing it before. I stopped after only playing for about an hour, and I decided it wasn't worth my time. I've come to realize that I was way off base in that decision. This game pretty much has everything I like about a game. The ambience of walking around in a post-apocalyptic world, the weapons, the choices of whether or not you want to kill someone or let them live and solve things rationally. I can't really say too much more about it since I haven't really gotten that far into the game, but I really should not have judged the game so quickly. I think part of me just wanted to prove that I played it so I could get the people who wanted me to play it off my back, but again, that's just not giving a game a fair chance. I'm probably going to put a lot of hours into this game. I can just feel it. Plus, being able to have an old style radio station playing while I play is actually really cool and i'm excited to see what other things I find in this game that i'll come to really like. I do also plan to do a playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas since people seem to think that it's better than this one. But i'm starting here and moving forward. Very happy I've decided to give this game a chance again.

My only negative about the game is that the Windows Live bull**** comes with it. And I can't stand that. It also seems to crash at the worst times for whatever reason. If I can find fixes to one or both of those things, i'd be happy.

Well, this is unfortunate. The crashes have become more frequent and have made the game pretty much unplayable. Keep in mind I have the PC version so that could probably be why. That's a shame. I really wanted to play this more than I have.

That is a shame but try NV maybe it will run better.

Which ever one you play, try to finish it and get the DLC's for it.
by the time you finish them you'll know why fans love it so much and you'll be ready for F4

From the time I spent with Fallout 3, I can already understand why it's so loved. And I also looked to see if other people were having problems with Fallout 3, and I'm not the only person dealing with crashes on the PC version. Apparently the devs have stopped putting any sort of interest in it and it's just a broken crashy mess. I'll look to see if New Vegas is different, and if people say it runs better than Fallout 3, i'll pick it up.

Have you installed any of the unofficial patches? That should help fix the stability issues.

I'll have to look into that. Though the way you say "unofficial" kind of scares me. I imagine it's good for the game though.

So long as you get it from NexusMods or another reputable mod site you'll be fine. The unofficial just means not developed by Bethesda, but rather modders aiming to fix things they can't be bothered to do.

I'll look into that. I found the NexusMods one you were talking about so i'll try that.
