JackFetch Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Holy crap look at these videos: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_7059_en.html You can download them on Xbox Live also. The game comes out on Halloween for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. It runs on the Oblivion engine, and you start out the game as a baby. You do some mini-game stuff to get your stats and then you go out into the world as an adult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I've been keeping up with this for the better part of the last year, and I'm constantly amazed at how good each new video looks. I'll be buying it on day one, if I'm not still playing Rock Band 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Picked it up today. I've got the game and guide with me at work. I hope to play some tonight. The guide is fucking huge. 464 pages plus a fold out map and a skills card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I only played it for a few hours the other night, and it seems really fun and deep. I wish I had the time I need to put into it. Maybe it's just the lower levels but I keep running out of bullets and almost dying in fights.

drqshadow Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 It saddens me that I haven't had time to try this yet. Still working on Lost Odyssey, and I haven't even started Fable II yet. Maybe around Christmas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I got the special edition with a tin lunch box and shit. So far it's alright, it seems like a blend of half Life 2, bioshock, and every other shooter this gen that I'm forgetting. Maybe I just need to play it more. But I'm going to go back to Fable II first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I've spent nearly 70 hours on the game and with the end in sight I can safely say its not long enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolguy Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 i played the game and thought that it was great, but i never got to finish it because i had rented and it was already due. I might go back and rent it just to finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 This game is pissing me off. You shouldn't have to save your game every 2 minutes but it lulls you to sleep with easiness, than you find something that kills you in two hits. I've lost an hour of progress tonight because the auto save only saves when you fast travel, but in order to fast travel you have to find the place first. Why didn't they fix this crap since it was the same in Oblivion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolguy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 THere really is no way to prevent the lose of data because it will give you hard enemies everyonce in a while. The olnly thing that you can do is whenever you go in a subway you save, and fastravel after you find some places. IT did freeze on me when i was around half way done after first picking it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT did freeze on me when i was around half way done after first picking it up The problem is they weren't in subways. I was finding places so I can fast travel and got killed by a named guy in Minefield, then went another direction and got killed by some dinosaur looking thing outdoors. Why don't they make the game auto save every 5 minutes so you don't go all the way back to your last save that was a half hour ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolguy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Wait how far are you in the game because some of the reas you have to sneak in, and if you are below level 10 or so then i would avoid exploring becuase the supermutants will come out. Alot fo the hard partrs i the game aren;t mentioned trust me. Most of the time you just have make sure to know your surrounding, and if you are in over your head then try to run.

JackFetch Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 The super mutants are easy. It's the travel through barren wastelands for 20 minutes killing super easy mole rats to find a place only to get killed by something super hard that is pissing me off. I sneak everywhere also, which is why it takes me so long to get places. I did notice that different things spawn each time you do something. I did the mission where I had to save and escort the two people from the police station and didn't like the outcome due to someone dying so I reloaded it and instead of one scorpion attacking us it was 3 dogs and a mole rat.

coolguy Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Well whenever it asks you to escort someone you can just fastravell to the new area and they will make it there. It also depends on if you are close to your destination. If you aren't then it is okay to run, but the closer you get that is when you start to sneak. Also the same enimies are in the same place, it just depends on what time you are there because the enemies also walks around the map at their own whims.

MaxPower Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I borrowed this from a friend and started playing it yesterday. Damn if this isn't a frustrating game, but I was mighty impressed to have Liam Neeson as my dad. And is it wrong that I chose to play as female and then was disappointed that I couldn't have more action with the woman you rent a "bed" from?

MaxPower Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 The downside to games like this is that you have to assign your stats at the start of the game, before you know much about the game. I was 5-6 hours in to playing and I thought about restarting, just to make a new character that was better aligned with my playing style. I decided to stick with the player I had.... I think getting the guide you got when buying it was a good idea Jack. I also love that there are so many tiny little quests/tasks that come up. I get so side tracked sometimes, and I love it.

Guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah, I remember restarting when I realized just how important the intelligence stat was. I also accidentally decapitated the Overseer, and I was trying to play a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 This game is amazing, I'm amazed at how much is in it, with regards to characters, quests, locations, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Finished this game and I was a little disappointed with the ending, seemed almost anti climatic. I'm also pretty sure I did a lot of the quests in the wrong order. Plus I never got the dog to follow me, but I did have the knight and the super mutant and travelling companions.

That's cool, but the traveling companions are all completely useless except for the Super Mutant whose name I forget. Personally, I loved Fallout 3. The thing that bugged me the most is that you can't level beyond 20. So I had all these perks I wanted to try and I couldn't. If I go back and start another game some day, I'll do it differently, but I won't start another 70 hour game any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
