Fallout 3 has a wonderfully involved combat system for firearms, melee weapons, explosives and bare-handed fighting. Furthermore, depending on how one choses to play, you can develop fighting styles that are competitive with any of the above.
Options for high level characters using the SPECIAL / GOATS system and associated perks includes gunslingers, demolitions experts, snipers and sneaky ninjas.
I haven’t seen a game this engrossing since the release of GTA4
i did get fable 2. thats a pretty fun game. kinda short for me though.
ill have to check out prince of persia, that was one of my favorite back in the day.
i just got my xbox a few months ago and there are a lot of games out there that ive never even heard of.
i need a new tv now though. it seems all these games are designed for a widescreen HDTV. im still using an old tv that i dug out of the closet when i got the game console.
i might actually buy that tomb raider. the scenery and stuff looks so real and cool. plus mind puzzle type games are always kind of fun, all the climbing and jumping and stuff. i always wanted to explore unknown ruins…
im gonna wait for my friend to finish fallout3 then ill make him lend it to me. in exchange for fable 2
oh hey,
i also downloaded the demo of Ninja Gaiden 2.
i had the original on xbox1 years ago and liked it. in this one you can dismember people or cut them in half. blood and body parts get scattered all over the place. super fun
I decided to take a short break from the main plot to close up the side-missions I had already accepted… the process of doing this accidentally opened a second side-mission. And it’s now been four days since I took that short break from the main plot…
And I almost always use the quick-travel feature to go between previously explored points…
Also, a tip: When you get around to playing and you hit the necessary level take the here and now perk. It’s one of the best ones from a min/max perspective.
And the decapitation and disintegration slow-motion animations in Fallout 3 kick ass.
It’s sweet. You get it when you get a critical sneak-kill in VATS mode with an energy weapon.
So to see it enter sneak mode (by pushing down the left stick), equip the laser pistol (easy to get early in the game), move slowly close enough to the target to have a decent shot at a head-shot on a raider, mole rat, radroach, dog, feral ghoul or ordinary person (all low-hp enemies), enter VATS (right bumper), target the head and set as many shots as possible at the head target. That’s the best way to guarantee a disintegration.
I still seem nowhere near the end of play. Two new sets of antagonists have just been added in, one by side plots and one by the main plot… also new weapons and armor just became available including power armor (which rocks for damage reduction) and the plasma rifle - an energy weapon that melts many targets into a small puddle of green goo.
Oh… and my character’s reputation has grown to the point where antagonist factions have put a bounty out on his head and he’s getting ambushed by mercenaries… which is OK because the mercenaries are kinda mokes…
Now the soldiers who I stole the power armor and plasma rifle from… not mokes.
Yes, to the point where I have occasionally had encumberance problems when both I and my ally NPC have full inventories and people keep giving me more random gifts.
And I’m using the hyper-intelligent super mutant for my ally.
When you go to get the GECK from the vault full of mutants he will ask you to free him. If you do he’ll go get the GECK for you and then will part company with you. Later, when you escape from the Enclave, he will be out front killing Enclave soldiers with a gattling laser and will ask to join you.
