Who is playing Fallout 3 on PC?
I need a Screenshot from the Pipboy 3000 in a very high resolution:
I need the STAT Screen with all full energy and in Green.
If possible the RAD Meter should be at 4,5

Thanks

I have Fallout 3 for the P.C, but like 99% of owners cant get it to run on any P.C !!!!!!

...Thank fcuk for the 360, insert disc, play.

[Mr. Casual]

I was getting really pissed last night, "SUCK"uROM wasn't letting me play the game...I restarted my PC and I could play it again, but I was about to go on a rampage there for a second.

BTW, Henners, Graciano...I try to get the PC version of a game whenever I can. Bigger screen, when you consider how close you are to the monitor and its size, superior FPS rates, graphics, etc.

And I used to be a big time thinker of the ol' "Controller beats keyboard and mouse", but that was mainly because I was a n00b to keyboard and mouse...now I understand which one is the superior one.

Call me an elitist or a fanboy, but about the only thing that seperates PC gamers from console gamers is where they sit and what they use to control their characters. If you don't take into account that the PC version will all around outperform the console version.

[Barc0de]

PC games are installed on a machine that handles the bulk of my work - not risking it.

my pc and 360 are both hoooked up to the same size monitor, the saem EXACT monitor to be exact on a duel monitor set up on my desk.

i wasn't starting a PC vs console debate. many pc gamers state that pc gamign is dead.

[PhreQuencYViii]

I like them both but the majority of games are just better on a console. FPS and RTS etc work great on PC, but then theres stuff like Halo etc that is awesome on a system.I'd say something like Fallout is suited better for a PC, but are you really going to want to play Devil May Cry on a PC? Sure you can use a controller but a lot of the time games like that get shitty ports, and sometimes in the long run who knows what won't run when you sometime get a new PC. Are you going to play fighters on a PC? Maybe on an emu or something. You get what I mean.

PC gaming is alive and well. Its just not what it used to be. My Grandma is an avid PC gamer, though her titles of choice include "peggle" and sudoku. She's not alone either, there is huge money to be made from casual online gamers.

The problem with PC games now as far as retail sales go, only triple-A games receive sales volume that justifies their production costs. PC games used to be the haven for indie developers with just a few team members putting everything together. This has largely shifted to downloadable games on current-gen consoles, and left the PC market struggling.

Because of so many other options now, many consumers expect to just buy a PC game and have it run, because they have a computer (even though its six years old and can only check e-mail and browse the web). Because of this, returns of PC games in recent years have made some (read: many) retailers limited the PC games they carry or remove them entirely with the exception of a rack of Popcap games hidden somewhere in the store.

Lets not forget how most of the titles worth buying on the PC are possessed by DRM to the point where you almost need divine intervention to keep your privacy AND your game. The PC games market only punishes those who support it. A little screwy.

That rant comes from someone who is an avid PC gamer. I'm sitting here with a 30" LCD @ 2560x1600 resolution - no console can touch that. Good PC games aren't hard to find, but they are getting fewer as time goes on. Here's hoping it keeps on truckin'.

Back on topic. I have Fallout 3 for PC and I love it. I've beaten it already, yet I continue to explore the wasteland. Maybe its because I love the universe they created, maybe its because I want more of Microsoft's damn achievements. Maybe both. But for a game to keep me playing even after I've beaten it when I have a backlog of HUNDREDS of games is quite the feat.

Fallout 3 has something that few non-MMO games have these days - a world. History, exploration, and so many minute details that really help immerse the player. In recent years the only game I had played that was similar was Mass Effect, and it wasn't even close to what Fallout 3 offers. I never played Oblivion, but I'm sure you could add that to the list as well. Non-linear gameplay is something I wish we saw more of.

[Barc0de]

non-linear gameplay is hard to nail and difficult to cultivate at risk of making the game void of meaning or boring. Finding a drive, a formula if you will, is the key to any game, and linear games have a more controlled nature and subsequently are handled better by developers and content creators. That said, MMORPGs are the essence of non-linear gameplay and they seem to do just fine although the main drive is interaction with other players.

Yep, that about sums it up. Games for Windows at least sort of tries to make PC games a little better. Since it's got the same features as the 360 one, I have no prob getting it on a PC. It just sucks there isn't a whole lot coming out, and it also seems that the people who do play there PC's just play Wow and pirate shit half the time.

Starcraft 2! Duke Nukem forever! Where are you???

[XxHennersXx]

ALmost every PC gamer I know does it because they pirate their games. Or they just play WOW or Counter-strike.

[Mr. Casual]

Speaking of MMOs, I was interested in getting Warhammer online, but I'm not too fond of the idea of monthly fees. I might get Guild Wars 2 later on.

[wildcat]

I just had the chance to try fallout and did alittle. It reminded me of half life.

[graciano1337]

i stopped playing PC games when all the lan centers in my area went out of business. and i haven't played WoW in a long time just cause it's WoW and super addicting. if i felt like i was missing out on a lot of awesome PC gaming, i'd get a PC. same goes for PS3. i don't feel like i'm missing a whole lot by not owning a PS3.

[Barc0de]

I haven't gamed or missed gaming on my PS3 for quite a while now - it doesn't help that it's in the living room either, my mom always nags if I occupy the tele. That said, I do some "vampire" gaming (ie game when everyone is at sleep like 4-5 in the morning) but what I play is the Wii (lately, Sam and Max: Season One, I just love point and click adventure games =) )

[PhreQuencYViii]

but what I play is the Wii (lately, Sam and Max: Season One, I just love point and click adventure games =) )

I love that for PC, it must be just as nice on Wii!

[Barc0de]

The Wii port is horrible to be honest.

there's slowdown,
there's dull graphics/bad textures
there's long loading times
the compilation disk is just wiiware thrown together and bound by another executable which shows and is hard to navigate, no unlockables
the voice clips often get cut at their last letter

The only reason I play this on the wii is because I don't have the Pc version really and I enjoy adventuring from the couch. A VERY lazy and bad port, shame.

[PhreQuencYViii]

Damn, that sucks. It's still cool though.

[wildcat]

Hey Barcode,

I got a pair of tooth picks for your eyes if you'd like a pair!


Ah, have you played Age of Empires at all? I use to play it on Lan it was alot of fun.


Now I play COD4, but it an awful fasted paced game specialy on hardcore.

[PhreQuencYViii]

Well, today I was going to get Fallout 3 for the PC, but my POS fucking Ballistix RAM has kicked the bucket again, sending me to BSOD world 2-1. According to the Crucial dude last time, on P35 boards the sticks basically just burn out over time, so they gave me lower voltage ones. Same deal. Whatever...pain in the ass to wait for replacements for a week or two.

[skavenger216]

Sam and Max: Season One, I just love point and click adventure games =) )
Sorry to go OT here, but how is the new Sam & Max games ( other than the fact that its a bad port to Wii), ive been wanting to try them but havent gotten around to it yet.

[Barc0de]

they're episodic for starters, which means that you ll navigate through the same environments time and time again for each season, albeit with modifications and expanded locales ranging from a theater to a TV-production studio etc.

The game is not difficult if you're the type who likes some far-fetched but imaginative puzzles - it can be be harder than you expect though sometimes but you ll get it eventually.

Overall it's a very enjoyable game and highly recommended (preferably on the PC I guess).

That said, I can't compare it to the old Sam and Max games since I haven't played any of those.

That sucks. Fallout 3 is an awesome game though. Its definitely worth the wait.

[wildcat]

Mr. Casual,

Whats so good about fallout? special when we know Valve did such a good job on Half life that I doube anyone can compete.

[Barc0de]

valve? this isn't an FPS, it's an RPG with FPS elements!

[skavenger216]

I guess ill have to quit being lazy and give them a playthrough. You should really try to hunt down the original Sam & Max. Truly amazing ( from a writing point of view), although a little on the short side ( but werent all lucas arts point & clicks back in the day?).

[Mr. Casual]

valve? this isn't an FPS, it's an RPG with FPS elements!

Yeah, this is what I was going to say. Its a damn HUGE world, too, and is easily moddable. Well, it will be when they release an SDK for it. And they probably will, some day. If that isn't a recipe for a fun game experience I don't know what is.

[PhreQuencYViii]

Mr. Casual,

I think games have surpassed HL1 and 2. I loved HL2 and hate 1...but I seriously don't think I'd name them if I had to pick 10 of my favorite games ever. My opinion of course.

[Alchy]

I think games have surpassed HL1 and 2. I loved HL2 and hate 1...HL1 was a masterpiece for the time and I still enjoy it, although I can't see many kids putting up with its idiosyncrasies today; it's a decade old, though, so comparing it to modern FPS games is like comparing Doom 2 to Doom 3. I think it's aged a lot better than most single-player FPS games of its age, either way.

I haven't looked it up, but there is no mention of Lucas Arts anywhere on the title. Why is that?

btw, feel free to send me the old Sam and Max, bveause I live in Greece and well, let's say I ve NEVER seen that title in stores. (Full throttle CD version is in stores though, brand new, if anyone's interested)

[Alchy]

The original Sam and Max: Hit the Road was developed and published by Lucasarts, and it's definitely on the box. There was a sequel planned by Lucasarts some 4 years ago but it got cancelled, and it was this cancellation, very late on in the development process, that spurred a bunch of the adventure game team over at Lucasarts (many of whom had been let go anyway) to found Telltale, who make the episodic Sam and Max games.

[wildcat]

Well I never heard of sam & Max till now, Lol!!!

Thanks guys!


Looks as funny as hell, See the size of gun sam's carrying? Lol!


Its something I would have missed, and had missed on the market, but cause I'am mainly a fps I probley wouldn't touch it, mostly likely anyways.


As for :pray: half life, it will never die! the graphics & Art were done extremely well. It won many, many awards. The only game that beat it was Wow and of course Gabe Newell mention that, and had mention he wished he could have pull in that many players, but I think if I'am right wow is an RPG game isn't it? and the ones I mention aren't, right? Valve has gone on to make more games that are quite popular like there cs source which was also very popular and more! many, many, people still play there cs source which is one of the best FPS on the market still.

I found the graphics for fallout piss poor, story line seem interesting for the very short time I got to try it. I go to gaming cafes that have very good hardware, so there no excuse for the lousy graphics ie dull graphics, maybe its suppose to be like that but I didn't like that part of it.
The software developers for Fallout would be very hard press to get a story line like half life or come up with anything close, I've played it for hours and with breaks I've play it for days. Half life is very good all round game, and has the awards to prove it, I haven't seen anything that'd beat Valves half life or cs source. I had to move on to COD4 cause I was looking for something a little different and found it in COD4 so far.

Later folks!

[PhreQuencYViii]

I'm pretty sure Fallout 3 and Half Life are only similiar in that there both PC games...

Does it actually look bad?

[Mr. Casual]

Fallout 3 has some really ugly and muddy textures in some areas. Theres already a high rez texture mod out there for the game though. The only textures that were noticeably bad for me were the newspapers on the ground.

I know it takes place in a Nuclear Wasteland, but some of the indoor buildings look really really dirty, and the textures kinda suck in old style buildings. Other indoor areas look good, though. Its mainly the old buildings that look bad, and those bad newspaper covered textured floors look crappy.

EDIT:

Just did a quick google, and I found some cool stuff:

Bethesda IS making an SDK (thank god) and they are naming it GECK with 3 other downloadable content things coming out:

Operation: Anchorage: Enter a military simulation and fight in one of the greatest battles of the Fallout universe – the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders. An action-packed battle scheduled for release in January.
The Pitt: Journey to the industrial raider town called The Pitt, located in the remains of Pittsburgh. Choose your side. Scheduled for release in February.
Broken Steel: Join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel and rid the Capital Wasteland of the Enclave remnants once and for all. Continues the adventure past the main quest. Scheduled for release in March.
I can't wait for the GECK. All of these downloadable contents sound awesome, as well, its like they are actually going to be worth the money, unlike horse armor.

Valve has gone on to make more games that are quite popular like there cs source which was also very popular and more! many, many, people still play there cs source which is one of the best FPS on the market still.Uh... what? You don't know whether WoW is an RPG or not? You want to compare it to Counterstrike? WoW is the most popular online game by a long shot, and they aren't even vaguely comparable.

I had to move on to COD4 cause I was looking for something a little different and found it in COD4 so far.If you can't discern the massive difference between the games you mention then you really need to broaden your awareness. The only thing they share is the first person perspective.

[wildcat]

I was talking about sales volume,


Not anything else when comparing the two. WOW out solded Valve's 2 games and it was the only 1 on the market that did at that time. Valve did not take top slot in sales compare to WOW. It just happen to be, Gabe mention this during one of his interviews and I mention it here, thats all.

If anyone knows of any high rez images of the loading screen, art work, or any good images of the vault boy could you please link me/send me some.

My girlfriend is making herself some tshirts and would like to use some of the images of the game.
