You're nuts if you think it ran buttery smooth. The frame rate was anything but, which is exactly what I was talking about.

He said smooth as butter, and I said, no. Regardless of the rest. AF, yup, load times better aye, the draw distance, well that was patched on 360 as well.

This is going to be the most amazing year in gaming. Period.
Between Fallout3, GTA4, MGS4, GOW2 and RE5, I'm going to have to put over 1000 hrs of gaming in by the end of this year. (Easily)

I don't. Morrowind had flaws, but Morrowind had so many things. deserts, swamps, jungles, canyons, desert storms, golden wastelands, metropolises build by stone, small obscure fishing villages, dark castles, insane amount of dungeons/fortresses/castles/houses/small settlements, beaches, mountains, snowy areas, murky roads, generic forests, exotic forests and so on and so on... and temples.. and basilisks.. and.. and...
And oblivion? Oblivion might have been bigger, but it was just one big copy pasted randomly shit generated piece of green forests, with a bit of frost on top... f**k. I never played the expansion, but bethesda does... goddamit. god it made me hate oblivion. no point in exploring that world.
in morrowind, every rock and tree was put their by design. same with WoW. you can feel the love that went into creating does worlds, which made them fun to explore.
but oblivion. oblivion was made to be an authetnic crappy green happylands forests.. everything looked the same. it sucked. i hated it. I wanted it to die. I still do.

Neither was Elder Scrolls. Welcome to next-gen.
Alsi, I didn't see these posted yet, so I thought I would:
This game very badly needs some MSAA.
ckohler said:
It'll play like Oblivion in that it's in first person view (or a viable third person view this time), part of it's combat is in real-time, and that traveling the world is unlinear. That's where the similarities end.
The game structure (nonlinear quests, branching dialogue, gray morality, non-violent solutions, consequences for your actions etc.) and ruleset all follow the Fallout formula. The main quest also follows the formula, in that you're given something to look for and in your travels towards it you experience the bulk of the game content. Where the water chip was the initial one in Fallout 1, the GECK and then your tribe in Fallout 2, finding your father is your initial goal in this game.
Whether you believe it'll turn out that way or you turn your nose up at the mention of Oblivion and Bethesda is up to you.

Is that so...

Because it wasn't. It didn't fix the objects popping up, it didn't fix the longer load times, it didn't fix the lower res textures up close. Only thing it did was fix the textures at distance cause of that shader upgrade.Ariexv said:
Anyway, point is, Oblivion on the PS3 was a good port, considering the original, so there's no reason for the PS3 version of F3 to be a bad one.

Well..the price is certainly right for how well it's aged. You can easily pick up a double pack for around $17, but the game hasn't aged well at all. I tried playing through the first one again recently, and it still is one of the best RPGs I've ever played, but the style of gameplay does not compare well to more modern RPGs. Very slow paced; a single combat screen can take ages, and it's not exactly a thrill packed experience. Give it a try if you want, but know what you'll be getting.

you are so wrong. Fallout is a masterpiece, and it is still as wonderfully enthralling as it was the first day I played it.

I'm not saying it's not a masterpiece; I completely adored the game. I'm just saying that a modern game player who does not have experience with old school turn based CRPGs would likely not have the patience required to get into Fallout's world. It simply does not hold it's own alongside more modern RPGs when presented to the modern audience. Several friends of mine, if I presented Fallout to them, would probably get bored after half an hour of playing. This is not to say that the person I quoted it one of these people, but it doesn't hurt to know what you're going into before purchasing a game.

To be fair, the interface is pure shit. It was shit then, and it's shit now. The combat, while it has its charms and can be entertaining, has little to no strategy aside from getting out of your ally's line of fire and aiming for the eyes. Ally AI is beyond moronic. The battles also take far too long in most towns because if you start a battle there, usually every NPC has to react and join in or walk around aimlessly. The combat isn't bad because it's turn-based, it's just designed horribly. The Jagged Alliance series/Silent Storm does turn-based combat right.
While most of the content is superb, it does have a lot of things marring the experience. Though a modern player with an open mind and patience would have little problem with them, I think.
Ariexv said:
What differences are there in the GoTY versus the original? Did they add AF to the 360 rev?
Jtyettis said:
God no ... I wasn't implying that
I simply meant it was the superior version overall (due to AF an loading)
belvedere said:
iirc, the scenes that were smoother actually varied between both revs.
Ariexv said:
It improved the LoD, but I don't think it improved loading, did it? Even if it did, the lack of AF is why people point to the PS3 as being superior.
Note, I never the updated 360 rev, I'm just trying to recall what was patched. I don't believe AF was ever added, was it?

Be aware though that getting the games to work on current gen hardware (and Operating systems) may be really difficult.JoeMartin said:
I couldn't get Fallout 1 or 2 to work on my current PC (went back to play them when Fallout 3 was announced) and found there was no way for me to get them to work on my current PC.

That's weird, the only issue I had, aside patching and such, was the Fallout 1 installer that didn't read my memory capacity right. Unless you're talking about Vista.pr0cs said:
