Fallout 3's Washington D.C. Metro ads

I have played 2, its really fun but different then most games I have played. I stopped because its so old I had no one to talk about it to and sometimes the combat system was a bit frustrating. If you want to play it go ahead its great, but wears off since there are more modern games that might pull you off to play (cod4) and you can't brag to anyone about your super high stats :(.

If you had played 1, you would have enjoyed 2 a bit more. But 1 is quite limited in scope compared to 2, so playing that after 2 may be a bit painful. : )

Only reason I discovered Fallout is because I bought Descent Freespace from Interplay back in 1998 and I could also get a free older game from them. I saw the screenshot for Fallout 1 and thought it looked cool and so got that and have wasted so many hours in 1/2. I've played 2 at least one time each year since I got it in 99. : )

I feel like one of the Fallout elitists who's upset that 3 is made by a different developer but it should be good, but too bad it won't continue the story from the first two games. Eh.

I downloaded both a while ago and played 1 for about 10 minutes before quitting because of the battle system. It may have been the shit when it came out but I thought it was god-awful. So yeah I'm one of "those" people that are happy Bethesda has Oblivionized the Fallout series. It really needed it.

Yeah, the camp's split right down the middle into two. Those who played the Fallout games years ago and are very unhappy at how its turned out and those who are quite happy at this game and most have not played the first two games, they find it too different, too old to play now.

I played both games years ago and am unhappy the previous developers couldn't work on this but I enjoy what very little I played of Oblivion so this should do justice to the great franchise.

Im actually kind of glad that the story is different, I personally thought the story was a bit weak in Fallout 2. "find this item that will fix everything for us" And as you go around the towns there is a Mario theme building up "Sorry but the GECK is in another castle".

Now that I think about it, fallout 3 might be the same thing but with your dad instead of a GECK, but who knows it might have some twists in the storyline.

I feel with you on the how its being made by a different developer and can only imagine a fallout game in the same style as 1 and 2 just with better graphics and systems. Well we can always hope for a 1 remake ;D

I played 1 for about half an hour ages ago at someone's house. I didn't like how I pissed off half a town and had to wait for 20 people to do a 30 second long action before I could do anything, but otherwise it was pretty fun when I learned how to kill people.

I had gotten the Fallout games back when they released because I was intrigued by the post-apocalyptic setting. I was hooked from the first second I played it. I always liked RPGs, too, so that helped.

I replayed them a couple years ago, and decided not to replay them again before 3. I don't want to compare 3 to the original 2. I know it will be different, but then again, I'm not upset it will be. Though I love the first 2, I think it could use a change after a decade. I'm just glad to be back in the Fallout universe, plus I know what Bethesda is capable of.

And tmac, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I think the combat really holds up well. It's not as smooth as silk, but the SPECIAL system coupled with turn based combat is still fantastic to me.

I played Fallout 1/2 back in the day and each a number of times since then. I've dropped a lot of hours into both games and thoroughly enjoy them. While those games did a lot of things right, they still had their faults/annoyances (eg. long waits in big fights, quest killing bugs).

That said, I'm really excited for Fallout 3. I also have extensively played (and beat) Morrowind and Oblivion (played Daggerfall, but never finished it). While Fallout 3 is going to be a different beast than the Interplay games, I feel that Bethesda have treated it as a labor of love and that will shine through.

For those that are up in arms over the new game: try it and if you don't like it, don't buy it. No one is going to make you play/buy it. I'd rather have a new Fallout experience than nothing at all.

I just so happen to be one of the few 'old school' Fallout fans that is also an Elder Scrolls/Bethesda fan. It won't be perfect, but for me Fallout 3 is a dream come true.

BTW, I would love to see an Hi-Def remake of Fallout 1/2, even if it was only a graphics update.

I haven't seen any in Gallery Place-Chinatown yet, and none on the Yellow or Blue line below the Pentagon. If I had to guess I'd say they're on the Red and Blue line stops in the city limits, as that's where most of the college campuses are located.

I'm hoping they put a few in the tunnels. Can't remember which stations they're between, but they sometimes put lit ads in the actual tunnels. Now THAT would be awesome.

I believe the moving ads you are talking about specifically is located between Gallery-Place and Metro Center. They motion ads for Microsoft, Speed Racer and then NesQuik there I believe.

Having another Fallout 3 ad would be more awesome there.

Yep, those are the ones. Not on the red line as much anymore. I'll have to go out of my way to see these tonight =D

You would think they would have a huge add there since thats were BethSoft is. (They may be closer to Shady Grove)

i spelled ad wrong.
i apologize, for i am retarded.

We assumed that based on your avatar. J/K lowlz
