PLOT:

Fallout 3 takes place in a post-apocalyptic United States in the year 2277. The player character is a member of Vault 101, a fallout shelter serving Washington, D.C. The player character lives with his/her widower father (voiced by Liam Neeson) until, one day, the player wakes up finding that the father has left the vault and ventured into the wasteland for unknown reasons. The vault overseer becomes suspicious that the player had something to do with the father's disappearance, and the character decides to go out into the Capital Wasteland in search of him. Along the way, the player will encounter organizations seen in the previous games, including the Brotherhood of Steel, a group of technology-coveting survivors, and the Enclave, the elitist and genocidal remnant of the U.S. government.









so guys.... what do you think of the game?

 

Lol mate...I was going to put a thread about Fallout 3 a couple of days ago.

Looks really great. Superb graphics.

I really want to get this game at launch. So I really hope there is no DRM issues. If so it may put me off it.

 

Its using Starforce, So In a way it can be classed as DRM.

But Not the type u are thinking off

 

guess i beat you to it
yeah i also am looking forward to play it, even tough i am not familiar at all with any old fallout games

edit: starforce is so much better than the crap EA uses...

 

I read that only was on the Russian/Eastern European version. The version that will sell in "the west" uses the same protection as Oblivion: Knights of the Nine, which is a Securom check on install, ie harmless.

 

ah ok,

So StarForce and Securom then

 

Only Securom on the version you'll purchase, I assume. Don't think they're stupid enough to use Starforce around here.

 

@ Sash.

Lol, I was going to wait to the game actually got released 1st but hey, who cares?

But now on topic I really wonder what the online multiplayer is going to be like.

Also any1 on this thread got x-fire so can communicate over that aswell, sory about of topic question, and spam Sash. Just if so what your username?

Nice thread Sash can't wait untill the release,:thumbup:

 

I can't freakin' wait for this game anymore! i want a Shortcut on my Desktop already dangit!
10 years i'm waiting to keep on playing in the wasteland!!
and now they made it so awesome, i am crying with joy

 

yee i posted something along this lines in the other thread

in the US starforce is banned (supposedly).

tbh even the DRM from EA was never a problem for me but if it's the plain Securom then that's even better.

guess i gotta wait till Friday till i get my copy and will report my experience, looks like a nice game, can't call those graphics superb but they're nice and crisp, they remind me of Assassin's Creed.

 

i didnt search but why people hate about SF ? is that bad as DRm reinstall issues? or somekind of trojan type program? i will google but want to hear from ur mouth.

 

I have played this on xbox and it really is great game, lots of fun with the shooting system thats for sure And it doesn't suffer any kind of oblivion syndrome(well the 'Wait' screen is exact copy from oblivion) so can't wait to get the pc version.

 

It's using the GameBryo engine isn't it? (Oblivion)

 

if you want to hear from my mouth then i'll record an audio file for you...........:grin: jk


Starforce is one of the most problematic DRM to ever grace the pc, it causes your system to BSOD, your dvd drive to fail when playing dvds or burning Dvd-rs, sometimes it even annihilate the OS and you got to reinstall windows from scratch, it's very low level stuff compared to all other DRM.

word was that SF was even banned from the USA.

 

yes according to wiki it uses same engine as oblivion and the game is made by same team that did oblivion

 

hehe. audio would be nice..

and that sounds serious..when i go home i will check if iam infacted or not..i knew i had to wait for Friday but..hard to deal.

 

The IGN Video review made me dribble! I want it now... Play.com have the 360 version in stock already, none of the others yet... Hope they get it today and shift it to me too...

 

can't , don't have a MIC lol

you also getting the game Friday?

 

Yes friday . on Steam...but i got the game @ home right now. russian version. played for 15 minutes before coming to office. looks good. i will attach my gamepad tonight and try it..i wont go further to avoid spoilers, but i want to see outside of the vault. and that targeting system.

 

No online multiplayer, it is a single player game.
