There really might be 50+ hrs of side quests because some of them don't even pop up on the quest log. They just appear as notes but are definitely still side quests. | ||

What if the first 10 minutes are a good indication of 70 hours of shitty gameplay? You expect someone to play through all of a game just to make sure every minute is bad? I haven't tried the game and have no opinion, but just sayin' | ||

That noob doesn't understand basic hyperbole. ~30 mins (you reach Megatron city) is enough to understand what Fo3 is about and how it plays. | ||

My sentiments exactly. I believe it was the music and the writing. But then it was also the fact that Fallout 3 is infact very easy. They intentionally give you a nuke at the beginning of the game, so if things get too rough, you can always fall back on that. Just like Oblivion they havent balanced the game very well. Just made sure everyone could play it. | ||

I went in to Gomorrah with 400 caps and always struggling with money, 10 minutes later from Blackjack and betting high, I was up to 3500. I left, got some new weapons and ammo and shit, and came back for another 20 minutes. I was up to 15,000 caps in 30 minutes of gambling before I got kicked out. I played blackjack briefly on my first playthrough, but in my second playthrough I'm banned from playing in Gamorrah, the Tops and Ultra-luxe. With decent luck, playing slots is easy money too. I hit grapex3 in both the tops and gamorrah. spent the vast majority of it on implants | ||

I'm playing hardcore mode on very hard difficulty and I'm more than pleased. Here's a game that doesn't fuck around. Seriously man. The weapons feel like they are doing nothing at all! I'm popping dudes in the head and it'll take off like 2 stripes of health. A fight against 3 or 4 people will have my ammo running low. I'm saving before every fight because it's so easy to die. Love it! | ||

I also play it on very hard (not hardcore mode, will do on second playthrou) and if you face 2-3 guys that have an armor and you don't have armor piercing ammo, they just don't die. After 5-6 hours of play, I really like it. The only thing that I did dislike is when I needed to pass through the "Deathclaw valley" to be able to reach a quest destination. After 4-5 try to run pass them, I just gave up and will go on another quest. God deathclaw are killing machine. | ||

I ask cuz I never played any of the fallouts (single player RPG is probably one of my least liked genres), but it sounds very very similar to Wasteland, which I freaking loved and played over and over. (Anyone else liked beating the game using Covenant + Brawling/Pugilism skill 8 + random blunt object?) So I'm wondering what you guys' take on how Fallout compares to Wasteland, and if I'd like it as well. | ||

I also went down some random vault, vault 34 I think? Place is a freakin deathtrap and I used so many hp packs/radiation things only to get the bottom and require a key. Just got kicked out of all the casinos, think I made about 25K all up. Slot machines work too but they're as boring as hell, so I played blackjack instead. | ||

So I'm wondering what you guys' take on how Fallout compares to Wasteland, and if I'd like it as well. Yes, Wasteland served as inspiration for the guys who made the original Fallouts. Brian Fargo, who is one of the main designers (iirc) for Fallout worked on both games. Wasteland is a great game, but it is quite different from Fallout, however, you will like Fallout 1 and 2 if you liked Wasteland. | ||
