Any of you playing Fallout3 may recognise this.. needs a bit of TLC I think.
 
Fallout 3 is an fps?
I remember playing fallout and it was an rpg :isadizzy:.
 
It's both really RPG/FPS and an adventure, and you can play it in FPS mode, or view from behind, or engage targeting computer to slow things down if that's not your bag.
 
Yep, I came across that the other night while playing. I also saw a perfectly preserved P51 Mustang a little earlier in the game (it's in the bowels of Rivet City).

Love Fallout 3. Nuking Megaton into oblivion was immensely satisfying... :jump:
 
Bah! Whatever. My favorite RPG is still Baldur's Gate. I just find ALL of the new games a bit...ehm how can I say...full-of-bugs-and-not-so-inspired/addictive..

Every new game is full of OMGAMAZINGRAPHIX but oh the gameplay isnt that good. Plus it is full of bugs. And what else? Every new game I have bought the last 2 years seems veeery good at the first 3 days but then...huh? You discover there is no depth and you just go back to the oldies. Where shall I start from? Elder Scrolls:Oblivion? (Hell that was 50 euros thrown away). Gothic 3? (I dont care if it is released 6 months later just make it right!!) Silent Hunter 4? (Bug me more). Warhammer Online?? (Big mistake. What was I thinking?? It is Electronic (F)Arts for crying out loud!)

Hell I played Duke Nukem 3D after like 10 years and YES it still KICKS ARSE. :friday:.

Thats Why I liked Phase 2. Every day you discovered something new.
And I know why I am gonna like Phase 3. Because it is gonna be far from bugfull and far from just another eye-candy. I am sure it is gonna be the best game I have ever played.

I still remember the day back when I was 8 and my uncle bought me Red Bardon 3D. I was playing it using a Pacman joystick with 2 big red buttons (and no rudder of course :costumes:). I remember staring at the manual (didnt speak so much english back then :costumes:) and laugh at the moustaches of the generals in the photos. But I played the game for 4 years. I was in love with it for 4 years. Thats a lot of time for one game.

But hell I know that Phase 3 will be 10 times better than RB3D.

So Stop fooling around with Fallout 3 and go burn some DVDs yourself to help us get the game faster!!!:costumes::costumes::costumes:
 
No way am I going to burn DVDs I'm enjoying my freedom. You'll have pry this freedom out of my cold dead hands ;).

Fallout 3 is one of those that has lots of depth, some of the locations are initially limited you think then you realise there's more going on than you thought. It builds as you go into it.

Now I'm quite far in and more surprises appear and some nice thought has gone into some of the locations. For example in one of the many underground partially intact stations with rubble etc you may notice a car in there on the walkway and down across the tracks and think "huh" that's out of place, then you look up to see daylight in the roof where it fell from ;)

Lol Catsopwith I took the other route and disarmed it :) - you missed out on something by nuking but I won't say what in case it spoils it for others.
 
"Vott??? --- FPS? RPG ??? Votts all ziss about????"

Applause, Gousgounis, for a great speech about the good old things! Only thing, that makes me wonder there, is your age, is said 18? Cause, when you begin talking like that, you know, you're getting old :costumes::costumes::costumes:.
But I know, what you mean; I liked DUKE NUKEM too.

But now, could you tell me more, everybody: FALLOUT 3 ? How old - can it still be bought? How is it to be played (Adventure? Shooter? Sim?)
Sounded interesting so far; and I still haven't got anything for myself for Christmas... Cheers; Olham
 
Those screenshots look great! I've played "STALKER", so it might feel familiar! (That world looks like my living room, so I should feel at home there (lol). Thank you, Pol, you helped me find my Christmas present. Cheers; Olham
 
I remember System Shock was like that. It was an RPG/FPS. Tons of fun and plenty to keep you busy. Unlike the DOOM3 type games where it's just shoot.. shoot... shoot.

I'll have to check it out once I get my new rig ordered and running. :)

I'm in the mood for a good sci-fi FPS anyway.

Indeed Olham! My friends say that I behave like an old-timer several times :costumes:
And I want my first car to be a VW Beetle (the old one, the "bug" :costumes:)
 
It takes A LOT to really hook me into a game. Fallout 3 managed to do it enough where I spent 100 hours on it total gameplay time, went back started a new dude and am still finding new things. I have the PS3 version, and only run into a few minor bugs. However, as we know the PC side of the house is more prone to error due to an infinite combination of hardware and software, different with each persons rig (its a power hog too). In summary it kicks ass.

It is kind of odd though, they botched a lot of factual history (names, documents, etc...) intentionally. The Lunar Lander plaque has names I've never heard of, and the dude in Rivet City is all messed up on his facts. I do like the 2 P51's and P80 Shooting Star wreckage though, those guys have put a lot of time into that game.

Stalker? If you read what Stalker was "supposed to be", you'd find Fallout 3. So if you liked Stalker the way it turned out, you'll be blown away by Fallout 3.

Thats all I got haha
 
Hey, Gousgounis
Let your friends talk - I rather think, I can trace an individual style there.
Someone who likes the good old "beetle" and Duke Nukem, can't be that bad.
But then I wonder - do you have own individual skins done for your planes?
If so, perhaps you can post a pic?
Have a good Christmas time.
Olham

Hi, OvS
You also mention RPG / FPS. Would you tell another "hun", what that means (I thought FPS means frames per second) ?
 
Hello,
RPG = Role Playing Game
FPS = First Person Shooter
or so i think,
Catfish
 
Thanks, CATFISH and CAMELJOCKEY. One is never too old to learn something.
Have a good Christmas time!

Well! Here I've been feeling guilty taking time from OFF to get immersed in Oblivion and Fallout3, only to realize that even the most respectable of the Off crowd have been sneaking off to play the same RPGs on the side. I guess we can all come out of the closet (I'll even tip you off to 2 other excellent RPGs- The Witcher and Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines). I think that the most interesting feature of the Bethesda products is the construction set that they provide for free. The result is that users provide free mods (often of equal quality to the original game) that extends the life of the game way beyond the original. I know that the development of the construction set is a big deal but I wonder if sometime in the future the knowledgeable OFF modders might put together a comprehensive tutorial on airplane modding to lower the barrier to user modding. While OFF has no peer in WW1 simulation, like many others I also bought First Eagles just for fun and was amazed at the number of user made aircraft that quickly became available.
By the way, does anyone know who made the OFF Sopwith Pup and 1 1/2 Strutter. They're so well done, I fly them even when they're not

Yeah, I'm sure I did. I plan on playing through it several times as different characters. When I play an RPG I tend to pick a particular personality type and stick with it. After Moia sent me after the milelurks (which play on every phobia I have as a real person) I freaked, snapped, and decided to kill everything that got in my way (I took a fatman and a few mini-nukes and cleaned out those crustacian bastards in a hurry). It's been entertaining so far - but, in true RPG fashion, you have to live with your consequences. It really is a great game, and I don't tend to wander away from flight sims, racing sims, or FPS games very often.
