New Fallout 3 Info

Ugh, this is killing me. I hated Oblivion and loved Fallout so much. I have no idea if I should go pick up this pre-order or not.

How are the NPCs?

Cubit:

^ 8.8 is the IGN UK rating. IGN did give it a 9.6

Weird.

I think IGN UK gave Fable a 9.6 and IGN gave it an 8.8.

What a coincidence!*

*If I’m misremembering the scores, disregard this entire message.

I guess I’ll download the new Tomb Raider demo while I’m waiting for Steam to update…

His last post on Fidgit suggests he loved it.

Grifman:

And it was weak, weak, weak in the original :)

Yeah, but that’s an issue with almost many games and just not headshots. One shot kills or incapacitations should be very common but they’re not for gameplay reasons.

Outside of the VATs system, is there localized damage?

I punched a guys head off last night.

That’s neat Jason, but we’re talking about Fallout 3!

Man, those midnight sale lineup incidents are getting ugly.

Oh, my bad

The bobblehead is awesome, and I love it. The artbook is pretty fun to leaf through also. Have not looked at the “Making of” DVD, as I’m in the middle of installing the game. I give the installer a 8.5 because it’s wonderful.

I was looking for it. Bill had it all along …

Steam is beginning to update. Hopefully that means Fallout 3 is unlocking soon.

You can now pre-purchase Empire: Total War

Steam says 2 hours still. Dammit! I’m going to a store.

Weird! Isn’t that game coming out February 2009?
How far in advance can you pre-purchase games on Steam?

i think just whenever steam lets you pre-purchase. on total war’s page, it says the game will unlock in 3 months. haha

Ah thanks for clearing that up. :)
I never buy games full price on Steam so I don’t know about unlocking. ;)
