Yeah, i liked the repair hammer in Oblivion more. It's a bitch keeping the Tesla armor in top form.

Of course when I played F3, I was so impressed

I think I got chills when I first got out of the vault and saw the wasteland spread out before me. To me, it's an absolutely awesome game, with or without addons!

By the way, if anyone's thinking of getting just 1 addon, get broken steel as it continues the game past the "ending" and adds new content to the capitol wasteland. The other expansions add extra areas that are not part of the capitol wasteland and so they don't integrate as well as broken steel.

I just completed the main quest, looked up the remaining side quests and i've only scratched the surface, awesome! I'm actually highly tempted to get Xbox live just so i can get all the add-ons, such is my love for this game. I'm going to have to track down 1 and 2 as well.

Exiting the vault is one of those epic videogame moments, especially when you realise 'wow, i can actually explore all of this!'

I played the game on PC and the addons are also available on Games for Live Windows or whatever they're called.

Slight Fallout 3 Spoiler Warning

Hm, the enclave armors are rather common once you get to the end of the game. Enclave forces are dropped with vertibirds here and there on the map, a bit like random encounters. Of course I set out to visit every area on the map on my second play-through and I met soldiers everywhere so with a repair skill of 100, my enclave armor was almost at 100% condition all the time. I did worry about repairs at the start, so I would bring extra armor sets back to my home in Megaton sometimes when I found them so I could go back there and repair, but it wasn't really necessary.

The tesla is no longer the best of the enclaves, though. With Broken Steel, there's now the slightly better Hellfire Armor

(also common in the endgame).

I have my repair at 100 too. I see plenty of enclave dudes everywhere, but the tesla armor looks way doper with those big ass plasma beams sticking out. Thats my main reason in keeping it.

I wish they'd hurry up and release the DLC on ps3. I honestly have run out of things to do in my save.

By the way, some time ago I played through the brilliant, brilliant game Dead Space which is also quite magnificent.

It's a an action-space-survival-horror adventure where you play a crew member being part of a crew that's responding to the emergency signal from a superlarge mining vessel ship thingie. When you get there, the place seems mysteriously empty .. of course it's not, you soon find yourself cut off from the rest of your friends facing a bunch of horrible, macabre monsters that may just be what's left of the mining crew. You have radio contact with the other survivors of your own crew members and have to go complete different tasks in different areas on the huge ship in order to get out of there alive. Along the way, you discover the truth about what really happened on the ship.

There's a lot of action, scares and situations that just feel like they're gonna be too much for you but you somehow manage. Most enemies in the game are vulnerable to getting their limbs hacked off and the weapons you'll use often do just that to gory effect. You can upgrade items and so on and there's a good feeling of not just story progression, but also character progression through the game.

It's also rather lengthy with a good story and great atmosphere. You often feel very alone when you're walking the dark corridors of the mining ship, wondering what's gonna lash out at you around the next dark corner.

The game also gets better the longer you play it, so if you have given this a shot for, say, 10 minutes and was put off, pick it up and give it another chance. We need more games like these

I just played Resistance last night. =33

But the guy I was playing with isn't a big gamer so he turned it off when he got bored.

No fun.

Anyway, the game isn't bad for a shooter.
Once I got used to it, I was able to figure out what I was doing and such.

The controls on PS3 are so much better than 360.

Guybrush · 08-26-2009, 12:50 PM

Games like FPSes and others where you benefit from precision, I always prefer to play them on computer. I've experienced nothing that beats the mouse and keyboard combo for that!

Akira · 08-26-2009, 12:52 PM

no finer controls than WASD + Mouse

I'm playing it on PS3. I'd only ever messed about on it for 10 minutes at a mates, I had never gotten round to playing it until a few days ago. Only 13% or so through but loving it so far.
