You get that clock for buying the 70 dollar one for PC?

No it's like $119 I think.

It's the Survival Edition, not the Collector's. They are the same minus the clock and you can only get it at Amazon.

I was tempted, but it would just end up being a $40 clock that sits in the closet.

Jait · 08-02-2008, 02:34 PM

Yeah, it's 119. And like I said it is a total waste of money, but I really had to have it. I don't want to be bidding on ebay for it in six months. It might be cheaper, but meh. I just rationalize it as the same price as going to watch the Dodgers get their ass kicked by my Braves or Phillies.

I know it's going to be a 3 dollar piece of plastic I'm paying an extra 50 for. But god damn it, I'm just that big of a Fallout nerd.

That's promising.

As long as it has deep character interaction, and choices that make real impact later in the game, I'll be happy.

A gameplay video is out. It's broken up into 5 parts on youtube.

YouTube - Fallout 3 - Escape (1 of 5)
YouTube - Fallout 3 - Megaton (2 of 5)
YouTube - Fallout 3 - The Wasteland (3 of 5)
YouTube - Fallout 3 - Super-Duper Mart (4 of 5)
YouTube - Fallout 3 - Tenpenny Tower (5 of 5)

Its looking pretty amazing. I see they got rid of bodies exploding. Targeted shots now just destroy that limb. And unlike Oblivion it seems the world has character. Looking good.

They might not be using the bloody mess perk.

Kasi · 08-29-2008, 01:29 PM

Ahh well, than that is fine. I never turned that on anyway. It's too silly, plus taking that perk cut you off from ones that benefited your character. Although iirc in Fallout 2 you could put that as a setting in the graphical options.

Krowbar · 08-29-2008, 01:40 PM

In Fallout 2, you could get the effect of bloody mess by unloading a big gun(Bozar, Miniguns etc) on any unarmed target and on armored targets if you landed a big crit. I'm guessing big guns will have the same effect in this game.

The only thing bothering me in those videos is the fights look pretty similar to FPS - that is, we need to physically target the opponent to land a shot rather than selecting the target and letting our weapon skill land the shot. This could make some fights really hard for us non-FPS players imo.

So turn on the turbased option for your fights. They are letting you choose it on the fly.

Krowbar · 08-29-2008, 01:55 PM

Are you referring to targetted shots using VATS? It appears the regular shots have to be done on the fly.

I wonder how feasible melee and unarmed combat is going to be. It was pretty hard in Fallout 2 once the opponents started wielding the more potent ranged weapons.

No it wasn't. You need more action points is all. Super Sledge is your god.

There is little more fun to be had in the world than Super Sledging guard dogs and watching their bodies slide off the screen.

Yeah, and then you run up to the guy wielding the flamer and lose half your hitpoints.

Edit: Had to mention this - the slide effect was pleasing and made me feel like a badass but then I had to waste APs to run up to whack them some more.
