I pre-ordered this the other night, can't wait until it comes out. I'm far more excited about this than Fable 2 or even GOW 2.

Anyone else getting it?

Got it this morning, so ill give it a bash when i get home.

Just got a 10/10 review on Eurogamer there.

The start is awesome, just hooks you straight away, i only had half an hour of it before i went out last night, will get into it tonight.

My copy was delivered yesterday and I'm really enjoying it. The VATS system is great

Installing as I type

I've been playing this all day, it's bloody brilliant. If you liked Oblivion you'll love this.

Just looked at the website - which is pretty cool btw - looks great but Im not sure my graphics card will run it

What graphics card do you have? Remember its based on the old oblivion platform.

Nvidia 6200. The 6800 is the bottom range one list in the min specs.

It will play it, but its not going to be pretty.

Bite the bullet and buy a 360, or you could always spend £70 on a geforce 8800GT that plays it flawlessly.

Yeah, thats what I thought. Think I'll download some sort of *cough* demo and see what its like.

With my girlfriends birthday next week and Christmas round the corner that would be a negative on both counts

Not mine it doesn't, although I can't really complain seeing as I have downloaded it. Crashes every 15 minutes or so.

Really enjoyed the tiny bit I've played so far though...might even splash the cash on the 360 version next month when I'm a little flusher

Buy her an x-box 360 or PS3 for her birthday!

I've payed 20 hours now and I still feel like I have loads left to do. Mind you, I should really get up and clean the house as all I've done is play computer games for the last two days

Still, I got the Rock-it Launcher today and it is magnificent. Blowing someones head off with a coffee mug never gets old

Nice idea, but dont think it would go down too well.

Think i'll pay Moira a visit.

I'm loving this. Never really got into Oblivion but for some reason am sucked into Fallout 3.

Really want this, but not sure whether to get it on PC or 360

I loved Oblivion, it ate a few weeks of my life!

Think I will get this, but I've got Gears of War 2 on pre order so I think I'll get that first and then see what happens.



I'll be getting it on the 360, though that's probably because my laptop can barely run Microsoft Word!

Put it on tonight. It runs smoothly enough - with all the detail on low, admittedly Still looks fine to me and will let me play the game

Slight aside - anyone else seen the 10(ish) foot tall figures in Game? One of the ones in the Metro Centre has one .. well cool!

8/10

good game.

i feel they could have put a bit more storyline in it and it isnt as free roaming as oblivion etc.

i also feel the graphics are too sharp?

everything looks iluminated? anyone else seeing this?

Maybe your brightness is too high on your tv?

got it the other night. Wow, well impressed.

Never played this type of game before and was suitably impressed.

Just gotside so will be getting into this over the next few weeks.

nope

Is that the PS3 or 360? apparently the PS3 has a few graphical flaws and doesn't look very great

its actually the 360

i have changed my mind about this game.

its fantastic at the start, then gets a wee bit worse then gets amazing again.

great game.

9/10

This game is superb with a capital SOOP

I've just opened the vault door, but already its proving a top top game.

What did everyone get in their GOAT? I was a thingy-boy programmer. Did anyone manage to get out without killing the overseer?

Aargh .. Im off to play it again

to your spoiler, no, i didnt haha.

i skipped the goat by accident

I played through about an hour to get used to the game then I started another one to properly "play" it, if you know what I mean. Did the same with Oblivion.

The first time I was going to be the guy who ensured everyone toed the line or something... enforcer something? Can't remember exactly.

Second time I was the Vault Chaplain.

I was this too, but then I spoke to the guy and he let me pick whatever I wanted.

I'm stuck at the bit where you have escorted your dad and the other scientists to project purity, but then that Enclave mob show up. I'm in the tunnels or something, it's crawling with baddies, I have no medi packs and hardly any life left, and I'm out of ammo on all my non-shitey weapons.

Anyone else having problems with the PC version crashing, or is it just my *cough* version?

I have it on the 360 and it did crash once, but it's been fine since then. No other game has ever crashed on my 360 though.

I had that problem with my verson - turned a few things off in the graphics menu which sorted. AA I think. Stuff to do but will check out what I did later on..

Supposedly its been happening to 75% of people who own the PC version

My system is so far below the min specs I dont think theres anything left to turn off


I see theres a patch for the PC version.

Yeah I forgot to mention that in my post :

Patch

Hopefully this patch will cut the crap - if not I guess I'll just have to get it for the XBox Don't really like any type of FPSery on the console

Just got it installed a wee while ago, played a couple hours on it and I'm impressed. I'm able to run the game on the highest quality on the PC and it looks fantastic. Looks like their is plenty to do in it as well

Playing this game with the minimum CPU required and it is fantastic. I use ALACRITY to shutdown all unnecessary processes which frees up a lot of ram (2 gig installed and 1.8 gig available to run Fallout) and restores them when you shutdown your game - a great utility
If you try it and have any problems help is available HERE

Cheers for that mate I seem to have 30% of Ram (got 2gb) being used when I've got no programs running at all Hopefully this thing will get rid of all the shite that's running

That looks superb

Why didnt you post it here and save me the hassle of installing crappy stripped down versions of XP that didnt actually do what I wanted

Back to the game - I managed to fix a lot of crashes, including one that crashed everytime I went to talk to a guy in the corner in Moriartys. Talking to him made me realise how much mileage there is in this game. So far Ive been playing the good guy, but I could so easily start all over again and be nasty

Oh, and as I wasnt really playing I started a fight in Moriartys ... great fun

Had only one crash in the 5hours I'd played so far, but have had 2 in the last 20minutes Time to install the patch I think.

Really enjoying this game, RPG's aren't really my thing, but this is fantastic. Don't think I'll need to buy FM2009 on Friday now, I've got this

Played this a bit more last night and I have a small problem. Because the graphics are turned down to bare minimum I dont see things until Im really close. This means everything starts attacking me before I can see them to aim back

I kept getting my arse kicked on the way to deliver Lucys letter, by raiders and mutants and all sorts so I gave up and went back to the main mission.

I've come across some sort of ghoul things that seemed to explode when I shot them - in the underground tunnel. Any tips?

I was watching my mate play this and he came across these mutant thingys with big tongues that flung poo at him.

It amused me.

One of those got me

Finished the game. Love the fact that there's alternate endings. Going to play through again as an evil bloke.

Err, seems I made a bit of a juvenile schoolboy kinda error here.

Its the generator/machine things that blew up - not the ghouls

Played a bit more last night. I seem to have been playing for ages but I've just completed the first story mission

What a game

Agreed, totally jaw dropping game. Im obsessed with a game for the first time since Champ Man 01/02

Ive not even done the first story mission. Currently doing loads of side missions. Tremendous stuff.
