André Costa:

It’s ok. I heard she played games on a console.

And I heard she was the time traveling daughter of a grizzly bear, and the game was Fallout 3.

Is it safe yet for me to say I’ll be playing Fallout 3 on the Xbox 360 and not have to fear an internet molestation?

Would you like some candy?

Nope, not safe yet.

Mike O'Malley:

Wait for it…John Sansker has appeared as the Horseman of the Apocalypse. The message he’s about to bring, and the arguments it will provoke, will mark the true end of this thread.

Or its violent resurrection.

Anyone know how much disc space this’ll take? Might as well make sure I’ve got enough before hand.

Equisilus · 2008-10-27T17:40:06.000Z

Looks like it’s around 9 GB. Probably should have more free space than that, though, of course.

Staff_Sergeant · 2008-10-27T17:42:50.000Z

You have bigger things to worry about than FO3 if you don’t have 9+ gigs to spare. I think I have about 100+ gigs to spare, and I have all the games I’d care to play installed.

Equisilus · 2008-10-27T17:45:00.000Z

Indeed, although I suppose laptop players might be pushing that (if they can get the game to run well enough at all).

Mordrak · 2008-10-27T17:46:52.000Z

Yeah, I’m just hoping my 1950xt is enough. My machine plays oblivion very well, so I’m hoping Fallout 3 at least runs decent.

Squee · 2008-10-27T19:17:46.000Z

I’m a terrible game packrat. Only got 8 gigs rattling around because I avoid deleting games as long as possible. Guess with the news that Hellgate multiplayer is going tits up I could delete that for space though. Thanks for the info.

It’s 5.25 gb on my system, not including saved games (which are pretty small, at around 4000 kb each)

You’ll be more than fine. Fallout 3 seems less demanding than Oblivion, or at least I get a higher framerate on the same resolutions, without even having the benefit of SLI (which is broken for me in FO3, although it might have been in Oblivion as well, for all I know).

Nah, I have most of my huge backlog on my old 160GB hard drive from when I first put the PC together almost 2 years ago. I think Mass Effect is going to get the boot since I just received it and haven’t started. Do I get an activation back if I uninstall?

Sarkus · 2008-10-27T21:04:07.000Z

The game is officially out, at least on the east coast. Hope you all have your flame retardant gear ready.

:-)

B+ from Todd Brakke at Gameshark.

9.6 from IGN.

Blarg. Hate to use a NMA talking point, but these reviews are comparing it a hell of a lot more to Oblivion than to Fallout 1 and 2.

Not surprising, considering most of the reviewers are console-reviewers who never played the originals.

Alan_Dunkin · 2008-10-27T22:16:23.000Z

Which may not necessarily be a bad thing.
