Was very sceptical on this one. But the more I play, the more I become addicted!! So realistic and detailed. Well done!
But enough of that, I'm here to give my opinion on Fallout 3...
I've read a lot of good feedback on Fallout 3, even saw ratings up to 10 (out of 10), being better rated as Fable II. So, I wondered if all this was overrated and I started to search for a few screenshots, but I still was sceptical about this one.
Finally, bought the game on eBay for no more than 15,75 euros (just in case game would suck, I wouldn't have spent too much on it). Wel... I believe it was the best deal I've done in my life!! I can assure you it is worth the every penny of the full price in the detail stores!!!
The quests are enjoyable and well balanced, the world is H-U-G-E and very detailed, things are so realistic (from shooting in the ceiling and seeing dust coming down to the floor, moving corpses and see body parts move exactly as they would in real life, etc...), slowmotion of the V.A.T.S. kicks ass, gameplay and camera go smoothly, soundtracks (in-game and GNR radio) are perfect, and a LOT more! ... You can tell there has been put a lot of efforts in this game by Bethesda.
The more I play the game, the more I get addicted to it. Every possible moment I have, I play this game and just can't get enough of it. I've been playing for hours and hours, and there's still so much to discover. Have been playing for about 60 hours and still am not at 50% of the quests completed (OK, I must admit I take my time to explore everything and everywhere... it just never gets boring!)
It's just the kind of game you never want to end... so, I'm very grateful, knowing that I still have hours of gameplay to go before coming to the end of the original Fallout and knowing that there are 3 more DLC's waiting for me! :-D
If you want to spend money on a game and be sure you'll have a big amount of playing time, this is the one!
Buying this game at a discount would be an insult (or very smart of you) to the makers of this game ;-)
