I remember playing the original. Pretty good, pretty unique on the Amiga 500, but a bit clunky maneuvering on the grid-like playing field. Still, the flamethrower was boss!

Fallout 3 is really impressin me.
Duh. New Vegas is also great, but there's a lot of crashing and freezes in that game.Quote:

A lot of Fallout fans will call BS on that and think quick traveling is lame, but there is no way I'm walkin across the map again just to talk to 1 person. The side quests really aren't that interesting, but the main quest is kinda neat so far.Quote:

A small war that you would never be able to handle on your own. That was probably the best mission of all of Fallout.
The music in New Vegas is soooo good.
really? Heh, that's in my bottom 3 of quests in that game.Quote:

Recent patches have fixed it for the most part. It still happens, but not nearly as frequently.Quote:

I preferred the story of Fallout 3 to New Vegas. I liked both games though. I played all the DLCs and explored everywhere in the first but not in New Vegas. I did a lot of the quests in New Vegas but it kind of annoyed me that I couldn't do them all. I respect that approach to creating the game but I'm a completionist so that rubbed me the wrong way all the same.
Yeah, I never actually did make it into Vegas. Was having too much of a good time wandering around.
I lost track of how many times I played Fallout 3 when I was unemployed a couple years back. I eventually Platinum'ed it.
I prefer the story and weapons of New Vegas to Fallout 3. I walked away from it initially, because the crashing drove me insane. When I revisited it, the issue seemed to be almost gone. I plan to play it once again since:

Ah, see I was going to ask how far you got. If the first mission was your favorite you should keep playing cause the last hour or two is basically the first mission on steroids.Quote:

if you haven't entered Vegas yet you still have a bunch of a wait. But yeah, steroids.
I think I am doing a good job with the side quests. I make a point to do all of the ones I find. However, I failed one because I went in and killed all the vampire people known as "the Family". I didn't like the way they fed on humans. So when I went back to the town on the overpass, as it turned out I am now an enemy of them. So that was a bummer.Quote:

Jesus it must have taken you forever to do that. I started playing on PS3 when it first came out... I got to as far as News Ratio before I gave up. Playing on console is just so damn tedious.Quote:

You are fucking insane. I knew that before but this cements it.Quote:

Well I'm benig serious about these multi-platform games. It's a general fact that my statement is true, regardless of what you believe. In fact, if you haven't played both version there's nothing really to discuss because you haven't experienced it. You're talkin to the guy who owns and has played/completed Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube, PS2 and PC (and soon to be PS3). Ask me which one was the best.
Something looking better on pc does not mean that the console version looks like shit.Quote:

Oh, you haven't played it on the Wii? Ah, well, I'm sure you had fun, too.Quote:
