Releasing on 28th of October for America and 31th for Europe and Australia (Bethesda took real drug names out and they lowered the rating. More info).

Will you be buying it?

It looks like a damn good game to me, i trust Bethesda to make it good but I'm worried (Even tho i haven't play the originals much) it won't
be a game the fans of the originals will enjoy. Either way i will still enjoy it.

I already pre-ordered but i would like to see other peoples views on the game.
And for people who don't know what it is, look at this link.

[Dauth]

I will be getting this game, I cannot wait.

I don't want to set the world on fire

[TehKiller]

Getting it (aint pirating it nor buying )

[Dutchygamer]

I've spend my money on getting tickets for a concert, and the rest will be spend for RA3, so not for me now I'm considering getting it though (my first RPG wohoo! )...

[Chyros]

Will definitely be getting it. I'm quite intrigued .

[Overdose]

I'll be getting this as soon I buy a new rig.

[Chronosheep]

Definately buying it.

Finally a game I want that isen't loaded with DRM crap ... The last 3 games I wanted to buy were all infected with the satanic version of SecuROM, making them completely unattractive to me .

Totaly agree. DRM has put me off a few games.

[Ellipsis]

Since I got a new computer, I will try it out. :biggrin

[BeefJeRKy]

I'll buy it eventually. My bro is getting on the 360 so I might just skip on the PC version.

[DerKrieger]

I'll definately be picking this up ASAP if word about it is good.

Reviews so far are all in the low 90s, but the 'hardcore' fallout community have already decided it's going to be horrible purely because it's not turn based.

You haven't seen fanboyism until you've been on No Mutants Allowed. Dear Lord...

You would both be better off getting the first two.

[amazin]

but the first two arent real time, or are they?

[Crazykenny]

No they arent.

Only the combat is turn based, everything else is in Real Time.

[CommanderJB]

Much as the setting looks extremely impressive, as does the attention lavished on the game, backstory and art design, in addition to constant positive previews and reviews, I don't imagine I'll be getting it. The gore factor is gratuitous and uneccessary, and while that may be 'part of the fun' it simply isn't everyone's cup of tea, and certainly not mine. I don't imagine anyone around me would especially approve of my getting it even if I was so inclined either. I also haven't played the original and thus have no particular brand loyalty to Bethseda or vested intellectual interest in seeing the story develop.

Backstory isn't all that good actually. They have not explained how the Brotherhood of Steel ended up on the East Coast or why there are Super Mutants, both of which were localized on the West Coast.

i am sure some guy in bethesta said that two are some of the misterys you will discover playing the game

That's why you play the game?

Far as the gore factor, it was always gratuitous in the previous games. Anyone remember Bloody Mess? You killed someone with a hammer with that perk and you'd quite literally tear them in two.

[CommanderJB]

I am aware that the gore factor was always there through various preview videos, but that doesn't make me like it any more. I sometimes have difficulty disassociating things from reality (or at least my subconscious does - it seems to think it's fun to try and simulate whatever negative effect I witness) so it's not something I tolerate in almost any degree.

[The_Hunter]

i pre-ordered it
