Goodbye Cruel World

[DaveW]

Fallout 3 is released in the UK in a few days. At which point i'm going to immerse myself in a game I've waited years for. Anyone else excited? You sure better be. I don't care if you're a long time Fallout fan like me or you never even heard of the previous games. I've got my fingers crossed that this is going to immense.

After the wait, it better be absolutely incredible. Here's hoping guys.

If I drop off the face of the earth for a few years, I'll be in the wasteland.

Your opinions and expectations? Fire away.

Shouldn't this be in games? I am gonna wait until it drops in price in a month or two.

We have a games forum now? CRAP I'm outta the loop. All I ever do is spend my time in the staff forums, I haven't made a public post in so long I apparently forgot how it's done.

Promptly moved. I haven't made any other social faux pas have I?

Pre-ordered and eagerly awaited over here. You'll probably kill me Dave, but it's going on the shelf for a while. Gotta finish off Far Cry 2, which I am determined to do. I have so many games I've gotten half way through before leaving for a new release.

Enjoy your Australian edition.

Yeah our version is cut down somehow? Sigh the government treating us like children again.

No, because of our government, the whole world gets Fallout 3: Watered down Edition.

While I don't agree withe reasons behind the decision, I would hardly call the game 'watered down'. All that was changed was the name 'Morphine' to 'Med-X'. Hardly game-breaking and not really that big a deal. This time.

P.S Michael Atkinson is a twat.

Well, fellows, this game was AWESOME for about an hour. I hit a spot in the game (an unavoidable spot, of course) where it crashes every time. I get that lovely "Fallout 3 has encountered a problem and must close. We apologize for the inconvenience." screen and that's it. Over and over and over again. I've tried changing every setting I can change, I've made sure I have the latest video card drivers, no help. And the best part about PC games, my only recourse is to take it back and exchange it for a copy of the very same POS. Of course the game is too new to have any sort of help available for it. This is one reason I don't buy new games, but I thought hell, I'll give it a try. I'm out $50 for an hour's worth of entertainment. Great.

And fair warning, it took an HOUR to install.
