Wowzers. For those that haven't played the first one, includes me.

Thanks for the link man!

They just changed the name of morphine to something else. That's fine. The original Fallout didn't have any real-world drugs in it, either, so I don't know why they had morphine in Fallout 3 in the first place.

The thought of Oblivion with guns seems really cool. IMO, PC first person sword fighting still doesn't really work, but only slightly less than PC first person spell casting. Nothing more fun than trying to hit something with lightning fast reflexes with a fireball that moves about as fast as a snail. That aside, Oblivion was still pretty fun for a while. So, I'm thinking that Oblivion with FPS style combat sounds pretty damn attractive.

I'm not sure I quite get this... Everyone has said that Fallout 3 isn't anywhere close to the same game as FO/FO2. FO3 looks like it is directed to a different audience than FO/FO2, which admittedly does kind of suck for fans of the original games.

Hmm...I played and loved both of the original games. From what I've seen, the game doesn't look that different. The art and atmoshpere seems the same. It still has the VATS turn based combat option, which was really fun in the original. Nothing like a targeted shot to the groin. Of course the graphics are 3d, rather than 2d but that's just modern gaming.

I definately remember there being drugs/pills. Anyone remember what their name was?

Unfortunately there will be no groin shots in Fallout 3.

Yep Can't wait for it to come out! Im getting it for my x360 though.

Can't wait. Going to pre-order the PC version from CC in a couple days for the $10 GC.

I'm still pissed off about the neutering and ridiculous commercialization of a great series.

Do you realize that if you buy one game every 3 months, you're still spending more money than you would have if you were paying for an MMO ($50-$60 over 3 months vs $15/month).

Even if you buy one cheap game per month at $20, that still costs more than any MMO subscription

For what you get, MMOs are actually a pretty slick deal. I find it troubling that so many people have financial concerns regarding MMOs. I don't play them because they require too much of a time commitment, which is a far more legitimate reason

But you are still playing one game, versus 3 games at $50, or 12 games at $20. To each his own, but I feel no inclination to buy a subscription to a game, when I can play a multitude of other games and have some variety.
