It took me like 60 hours to complete fallout3. But I did every single possible side mission as you can see below

Nope, I thought Oblivion was even worse. lol

Damn i better not try to play texas hold em tonight My read was way off.


What didn't you like?

Fallout 3 was too short... I think I did everything within two days without sleeping. Oblivion's main storyline was also too short, but it was missing the feeling that Morrowind gave me, and I was even hoping various mods would fix that for me, but no success yet.

I had a similar complaint about Blood Rayne (the first one, the sequels just plain sucked). It was too damned short.

It takes a long time to complete all those quests.

If you mean the oblivion crises main story, that could have been longer, but if you play the game to complete the fighters and mage guide quests, and the blackhand and every town's side quests first, the game is long.

I was a little disapointed with the shivering isles mod, it was short and not very hard.

IMO, Bethesda dumbed the series down by reducing the number of skills and factions and oversimplifying the story and things like armor customization. There was so much more to do in Morrowind. Plus, the setting was far more interesting.

I used to love that game.

Any fallout3 players here? The PS3 is FINALLY getting the DLC for the game today .

I'll be hiding out in the wasteland again, probably not posting for a while

I played Fallout for a while. I finished the main story as well as the Anchorage and Broken Steel DLC things - let me know if the others are any good!

I thought the gameplay in the main story was repetitive as hell. All the little Oblivion worlds seemed the same to me.

they didn't come out yet

 

[critter]

Watch it, I'm menopausal!

I like Tiger Woods golf but soon as they come out, I play it so much that I grow tired of it.

You are such a thrill seeker.

I rather play games on the PC actually. There just not any decent new ones for PC coming out. Wii I just don't like that console...to much exercise involved with that system.

I hate shootem up games and games that require you to use controls like Mortal Combat game requires. Forget that crap.

all it takes is a wrist movement.

 

[critter]

Seriously.

I never want to be bothered with that dopey NES and its carts again, the blowing on the 'piano' circuits, the spring and jiggle, and the worst of all, the freeze up before you can save...

It was as if Nintendo wanted the world's most unreliable game system.

All you need is some alcohol pads.....you gotta clean the female part of the game system. It doesn't hurt to wipe down the piano circuits too.




I know how to fix red ring xbox360's and YLOD PS3's also if anyone needs help

Emulators are much easier to deal with.

which is technically illegal

 

[critter]

Damn! You are a gamer, thanks for supporting the industry.

I'm closer to a techno-fanatic than a mere gamer.

I do support the console gaming industry except for where Nintendo is concerned, as I have absolutely no patience for a company that attempts to market by its own developer standards as a trashy product. I don't care about the PC-gaming market outside of MMO games, though; unless they support the console-gaming market.

What so wrong with Nintendo?

I already mentioned it but they release about the crappiest products for hardcore gamers and developers alike, the Wii which even a Nintendo developer called a "Gamecube v1.5" over a year ago.

I just re-installed and playing Diablo 2 w/expansion again on my PC. I do not recall the first time this game being that hard! I've died 10 times so far on act 5. I'm so tempted to hack my player file to boost my stats. *laugh*

I figured I would play this again to refresh before Diablo 3 comes out.

Diablo nor Diablo 2 never interested me. But I hear ya, playing Aion: Tower of Eternity myself right now.

Really that a but load of lie. so your care more about grapchis and power than that means you should of love xbox and cube. and its not just Gamecube v1.5

Products what kind of crappy one? hardcore gamers? you not a hardcore if you are into graphics and power.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Maybe so but people LOVE the Wii.

Wrong. And I was a big fan of the Gamecube, which did destroy the Xbox and PS2. It is clearly a Gamecube 1.5, if not worse than a Gamecube. Nintendo's own developers said so themselves.

Do you even realize without good hardware there are no video games? No matter how much you wish it weren't so, you need a high processor clockspeed for AI, you need fast RAM for displaying billions of polygons at the same time, etc. It's not just about the graphics, but it is about having the ability to HAVE BOTH. This is agreed upon by many multi-platform development teams: GRAW2 team, Ninja Gaiden Sigma team, Ace Combat team, the Resident Evil team, etc. The Wii cannot compete, despite that Nintendo had the chance to make sure it does.

Only a Wiiboy would argue against that.

Maybe so but people LOVE the Wii.

In most households the Wii is in, people quit playing the Wii two weeks after they bought it and it sits collecting dust until friends come over.

Nevermind the fact the PS3 and Xbox 360 can do anything the Wii can do (the whole wireless censory crap was officially invented and patented in the late 90's by a N64 3rd-party developer called Pellican).

Some of my lady's friends LOVE it. They wont play anything on my PS3 but give em a Wii controller and they are entertained for the evening.

I dont like the Wii myself, but some people really do love it.

I understand, but if I want to meet someone, I wouldn't bother playing video games in the first place. I actually don't think couples/families should even bother playing video games, but then again even though I grew up around video games, I was the one outside kid that was always beating on something, riding and tricking my bicycle, or getting into trouble. And I especially don't think kids should be allowed to touch video games until they're in their teens.

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Video games are fine, in moderation.

I mostly did the things you talked about as a kid too. I grew up climbing trees, having stick fights, seeing who could make the biggest longes BMX jump, all the typical boy stuff .

My parents let me play for up to 1 hour, after dark.
