- 9bpm9, on 10/12/2008, -0/+33Deadspace, Fable II, Fallout 3.
Did they guys plan to empty everybodies wallets in October? - rugabug, on 10/12/2008, -4/+26Where's my Elder Scrolls V?
- medfreak, on 10/12/2008, -0/+21Only the Xbox 360 version got leaked. The PC did not yet.
- Azerael, on 10/12/2008, -0/+20Don't forget Mirror's Edge, Gears 2 and Far Cry 2!
- Azerael, on 10/12/2008, -2/+22Why would you pirate a game actually worth buying? Especially considering Bethesda make a point of not putting DRM on their games; we should be supporting that decision with our wallets.
- gullydwarf, on 10/12/2008, -5/+24Fable II October 21st
Fallout 3 October 28th
Guess I'll be dropping out of school then. - dhVyse, on 10/12/2008, -0/+12Because it leaked 3 weeks early and we can play it NOW?
I'll still be purchasing it on PC, but I just couldn't wait while this game was just sitting there online, people already playing it, and I have a 360 able to play it.
Will be better on PC anyway, so that will be my 2nd play through. - GT35R, on 10/12/2008, -0/+12if this doesnt get the economy going again i dont now what will.
- Chris1280, on 10/12/2008, -1/+13This is elder scrolls V : apocolypse
- OddMoniker, on 10/12/2008, -0/+11Every day until Oct 28th (US release) feels like an eternity.
- BTConan, on 10/12/2008, -0/+9Yes, I agree that we should award it Game of the Year before it is released AND before the year is over. Good call.
- cawfee, on 10/12/2008, -1/+10Thanks. The French review led me to a blog, here's the summary of the Swedish one:
--------------
I just got the October issue of swedish PC gamer and they have a review of the PC version of fallout 3.
In short:
score: 81%
Pros:
VATS
SPECIAL
Megaton at night
Cons:
A feeling of lifeless backdrops
Lifeless/stale Characters
To much on a too small area
Its Written by Joakim Bennet, who has proclaimed love for Fallout many times over the years he has been at PC gamer sweden.
Other short stuff(not quotes):
Vats is great, realtime combat isnt. The realtime combat (damage/hits etc) doesnt seem to be in sync with whats happening on the screen.
HtH combat in 3rd person is just as bad as in oblivion
Bennet misses the world map, random encunters, the empty wastes.
AI isn’t great. Enemies running in circles and no reaction from NPC that gets hot from a long distance is quite common.
You can pick up anything that isn’t bolted to the floor.
The SPECIAL system and Perks works great
He also writes about four important points and compare them to the originals:
The Fallout atmosphere
The story
Combat
Perspective(transition to 3d)
Bennet writes that the game delivers on these four points but not all the way.
Heres some short translated segments (English isn´t perfect though :D):
“I`m going to take the edge of this review right away. Fallout 3 IS “Oblivion with guns”, No matter what i said earlier. There, I said it, now theres no return.”
“…And everything would be wonderful but that feeling that the game is missing something. I cant quite define it, Call it a feeling, call it whatever you want, but when the gates of vault 101 lies far behind me, the eyes have adapted to the light and 15 hours have passed i start to think. About hopes that have fallen short.
Because in fallout 3 i get most things served on a silver plate right away. Bethesda has tried to fit as much content as possible on a little area. One second im running into a pack of Radscorpions while 30 meters further ahead theres a little settler town. Around the corner i meet some slavers with their captured slaves and beyond the hill some raiders have set up camp. A few minutes of running brings me to some ruins swarming with lethal deathclaws that wants to eat me. Its compressed, maximized and anonymous all at once. It feels like a huge orgy where no ones want to actually “do it”. A lot of bumping and grinding but no friction and no excitement. Many parts but they don’t paint a whole picture.”
“Fallout 3 is an uneven game if I´ve ever seen one”
“I manage to “aquire” a house that I decoratedin pre-war style, and my very own robot-butler, Wadsworth, that always greets me with a delighted cry and calls me madame. But when i sit down in an old dusty sofa and listen to Maybe by The Inkspots on my Pipboy 3000, i notice how soulless my own character is. Lifeless eyes, skin that looks like plastic. Fake. Phony. Bethesda still haven’t managed to instill life into many if the people that inhabit their universe.”
He doesn’t like the voice actors but the dialog is good:
“the dialogs will piss people off, but mostly because they are recorded with voice actors of extremely varying quality. Had some of the lines been put into the original games or vice versa, no one would have complained.”
“… But first and foremost, the game doesn’t let go of you, despite flaws. the story always makes you want to take a few steps more, and after every disappointment there will be a moment of awe. The details, the at times stunning landscape and the possibility to change the main characters look in all eternity.”
“Its hard to let go of my baggage as an old Fallout player, but when i sit down with the third part of the game i really try to stop comparing the games, and at once it feels much better.”

(site had loading issues for me, hence the c&p) - niksa, on 10/12/2008, -1/+10I hope the glitches are as classic as they were in Oblivion... Such favorites as the "caught in the door shimmy" and the "infinite watermelon" or "insane skooma mob massacre" were joys to behold!
- Azerael, on 10/12/2008, -1/+10Fable, Fallout and Far Cry.
All start with F, all look awesome, all are open world games.
I think there's a conspiracy going on, and the letter F is responsible. - medfreak, on 10/12/2008, -1/+9DRM has nothing to do with it, he is playing the Xbox 360 version.
- medfreak, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8PC hands down. Don't even think about the Xbox 360. The mods for this game will be very substantial, and the graphics will be better on the PC.
If you can attach your PC to a TV you can get the best of both worlds. - cawfee, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8No reviews yet?
- Repeater2000, on 10/12/2008, -1/+9Gametrailers TV had a great preview(IF you can stomach Geoff Keighley smarm)
http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrailerstv_player. ... - JustinHopewell, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8This is digg. If you don't have anything insulting or snarky to say or haven't made others laugh at the expense of someone's feelings, then prepare to be dugg down. For the record, I dugg you up a point.
- ch4os1337, on 10/12/2008, -1/+9*****!
- 2Bnor2B, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8I am boycotting all SecuRom games with limited installs. I really wanted Red Alert but this is a matter of principles. I hope the class action lawsuit against EA/SecuRom is successful. I already added my name to the list.
- hammer310, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8I can tell that I am going to be "sick" on Oct. 28th, so I should probably take the day off to "rest".
- cawfee, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8Doesn't matter, both will sport downloadable content, but my guess is that the modding scene will be so much larger for PC. It was the case for Morrowind / Oblivion, and since it's roughly the same engine, the potential should be there.
- vpshockwave, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8Maybe they just want to play it early? Ever think of that?
- Chris1280, on 10/12/2008, -0/+7Movie !? To google !
- hammer310, on 10/12/2008, -0/+7Idiot*
- Arkz, on 10/12/2008, -0/+7Fallout 3 USA XBOX360-RUiNS
- Kral, on 10/12/2008, -0/+7Dead Space is planning to reduce our expenses by releasing with install limiting DRM last I heard.
- bullhead2007, on 10/12/2008, -0/+6Left 4 Dead is in early November too.
- noPCtoday, on 10/12/2008, -0/+6i wonder how many of those highly anticipated games will actually suck.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -2/+8Agreed. So many good games coming out in the next month or so! Will be fun =)
- notwizt, on 10/12/2008, -1/+7What the ***** are you talking about?
- Drahkar, on 10/12/2008, -3/+8Like that means anything. The people who actually love the game will buy it because they want more like it made.
- Drahkar, on 10/12/2008, -1/+6Don't forget the movie they will be releasing with Deadspace that tells the story leading up to your arrival there.
- handheldchimp, on 10/12/2008, -0/+5Oh I'll still be buying it, I just get to play it earlier then I normally would have been :)
- Roland1232, on 10/12/2008, -0/+5Not much "play" to those "words", which is why "it" wasn't remotely "funny".
- tecmoney, on 10/12/2008, -1/+6it's not about refusal, it's about not wanting thousands of dollars worth of games on a harddrive and then when it dies you're out of luck. I can pick up an NES or gameboy game today and pick up from my save file from15 years ago and i'll most likely be able to do the same in 10 years. Good luck going back to a pc/console hard drive in 15 years.
- theantix, on 10/12/2008, -2/+6I think I'm going to need some time off work starting Oct 28...
- aereaus, on 10/12/2008, -2/+6Why am I getting dugg down for being happy about a release date?
- Repeater2000, on 10/12/2008, -5/+9Drop dead.
I will digg you up just to see if anyone else is sane enough to tell you to eat it. - hammer310, on 10/12/2008, -0/+4Swedish PC Gamer gave it an 81%, and a French website reviewed it and gave it a 93%. Those are the only two I know of so far.
- ZimbuTheMonkey, on 10/12/2008, -4/+8I guess I'll pirate it then.
- kotatsu, on 10/12/2008, -0/+4The 360 version is apparently getting exclusive DLC from Bethesda at some point, but then again the 360 will likely have worse visuals than the PC version.
- Radan, on 10/12/2008, -1/+5Because it doesn't matter how good it is or how little or much copy protection there is, most people will ALWAYS, no matter what, pirate the games.
You know this wouldn't bother me as much if people just admitted that they pirate games because they don't want to pay for it, which is the case most of the time.
I'm going to buy the game for my Xbox when it gets released here in Sweden since I think that if someone has created a product which I use and enjoy, then I think that that someone should be paid for his work. Also, I like the packages :) - crossmr, on 10/12/2008, -0/+4it was released at the same time, the PC version is just going to be a ***** port.
- flxfxp, on 10/13/2008, -0/+4Not to forget My Little Pony - Princess Castle
- xOKxWhy, on 10/12/2008, -0/+4No, nobody agrees
- Darkangel754, on 10/12/2008, -0/+4PC duh, Much like Oblivion this game will need some serious modding.
- bagboyrebel, on 10/12/2008, -0/+3seriously, get over yourself.
