I'm a fan of Halo, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Half Life, GTA4, Bioshock...games like that. Now, somehow, despite how awesome this game looks, I'm not convinced. Is this worth my $60? I'll be buying Fable 2, GoW2, and maybe CoD:WaW as well, this year, and I don't know whether I should add this to my budget list as well, or not. The videos look cool, the gameplay looks okay, but I've never, NEVER heard of / played a Fallout game before this. I have no clue as to what the other games are like, I don't know the details about this ones story (I've picked up bits and pieces from the trailers, but nothing too in-depth), so I'd just like to know the opinions of those who have played the previous games: do you recommend this to someone who has never played Fallout before? What are your reasons?

I seriously have the feeling this game is gonna be terribly overrated and not that great.

If you buy one game for the rest of your life- if this lives up to the hype - make it this

Fallout 1+2 were so f**king legendary - i still play 2 today!!!

You will make the time to play this!

It will be different. In my opinion it will (most likely) be too different.

Gameplay for instance don't seem to share a single thing from the old games. Sure, they're all named the same but that says absolutely nothing.

Nothing I have seen so far of this game has got me hyped over it, I will probably end up buying it still.

So... you're saying that you're a fan of great games.
Nah, I'm just saying, cause' they're so different from one another. What are "games like that"?  I'm a big fan of them too =)

About Fallout 3, it's really hard to say. I hope it'll be a great game. I love Oblivion, and  we know that Bethesda knows how to make a "do-whatever-you-want" kind of game. But Fallout it's just different. I don't know. I only hope it lives to the hype."

I'm waiting at least three weeks after release to decide whether I should buy it or not.  I don't know what all there is to do in it, so I'm going to wait for some user reviews.

ok i loved and still play the first 2  event dabbled in brotherhood of steel(pc tactle shooter turn based), hated the one one the consoles(what ever it was)      but to be honest im worried about FO3    i hope it great but ....  if bethesda  cant pull it off  no one may be able too  .... im still getting  it  release  day  even if i have to pawn my 360..wait       damn  

i think this game looks retarded from what I've seen.  However i haven't played it so we'll see.....

Dear Dovien,

     You are a nOOb. You are a mainstream gamer that enjoys shiny particle effects and big fake tits. The fact that you're buying COD world at war confirms your nOObness. I cant believe you think that Fable 2, GOW2, and COD world at war are worth your $180 but not sure as to whether or not you should drop $60 bucks on this. Halo blows.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              sincerely,
                                                                                                                                                                                                      A Concerned Gamer

Fallout 1 and 2 aren't Fallout 3. It may be completely different =(!"

Well said. 

And Peter M has lied constantly about his games yet you're antisipating and not worried about Fable 2? You have to give the game a chance, besides the brand new( and might I saw awesome) videos just released the otherday,(can find them on youtube or dl them on XBL) the only other thing shown if you haven't seen that has been like 2 minutes of combat and walking, it isn't the type of game that makes a great impression hands on because of all the elements it has in it. Wait until some reviews come out then for it and check it out, or at least rent it..its definitely a game that deserves a chance.

and as for your mention of Oblivion, I completely forgot that game! I loved it, I should add it in there.

Man, I cant wait for this game. Oblivion is one of my most cherished games of all time so as long as its not broken I am sure I will love it.

I am really excited for this game and I have never played a Fallout game either. I just think the game looks awesome and I am a big fan of Bethesda's previous games.

after watching those videos some of my concerns for the game are slowly going away, i cant wait to kill that sheriff and take his hat lol
