I kind of have an idea of what the poll results will be already, but let's see.

I would have rather posted this in general games discussion but for some reason you cannot do polls there.

p.s. if you say PC, try and post your PC specs and you well you feel it will run

You can't do polls in General Game Discussion because most of those threads ends up without any sort of discussion which is what that forum is looking for. As for which version I will get, well that depends on what the review say, but if they are the same I go with the 360.

PC

Intel Dual Core 2.66 GHz

500 GB harddrive

3 GB RAM

nVidia Geforce 8600 GT 256 mb VRAM

I think I'll fare well enough. I mean, I can run Oblivion on its highest settings.

No, but Bethesda has said that its a slightly modified Oblivion engine, so I base my assumptions off of its specs.

I'm not getting any version of Fallout 3 because I'm not into failure.

I'm playing the PC version of Fallout 2 right now for the first time ever....does that count?

Sorry I'm not a cheap commercialite monkey who buys into whatever software trend everyone else is. The rest of you...if you're going to make the mistake of buying Fallout 3....at least buy the version that can be reworked with mods into something remotely playable.

Oblivion left a bad taste in my mouth.

Shame on you for buying any console version of this game.

you dont get the thread? if you came to that conclusion AND dont understand it, you're beyond help i'm afraid.

It is simply inquiring which version you're getting, it doesnt imply anything else, how much money you have, or if you're getting multiple versions, or have multiple choices, it's just a poll of which version people plan to buy, sheesh.

so in a way it's based on a slightly outdated engine (not in a bad way but requirements probably wont be any higher because it's based on an egine that was designed a little bit in the past from a technological timeline perspective).

it's not like it would be VERY different from each other...

Sure:

Recommended
  • 3 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
  • 1 GB System RAM
  • ATI X800 series, NVIDIA GeForce 6800 series, or higher video card

Minimum System Requirements
  • Windows XP 64-bit, Windows XP, Windows 2000
  • 2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
  • 512 MB System RAM
  • 4.6 GB free hard disk space
  • 128 MB Direct3D compatible video card and DirectX 9.0 compatible driver;
  • 8x DVD-ROM drive
  • DirectX 9.0c (included)
  • DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card
  • Keyboard, Mouse
If the requirements are higher, it'll be very slightly higher than this. I heard they were essentially aiming for 3-4 year old systems with the PC version to run it.

ugh, seriously. If you only have one then the voting part is easy sure, but thats the damn point of the topic, WHICH-VERSION-DO-YOU-PLAN-TO-GET

if you have a choice (likely between PC and one of the consoles) fine, if you dont but are getting it fo whatever is available, fine. either way, your raging is pointless.

The only thing i dont get is the mhz equivalency, since they have dumped that measuring stick a little while ago (what with CPU's now have a relatively lower hz rating with other thins done to increase relative performance).

For instance, i dont really know how my Core 2 compares to the older P4 Mhz equivalence yardstick.

PC. PC Specs are in my Xfire page. My PC kills it in terms of performance.

I have worries about it coming from a Fallout 1 & 2 player but i'm hoping it turns out well.

If (and that's a big if) I get Fallout 3 it'll be on the PC once the community has had their hands on it long enough to mod the bejesus out of it.
