Fallout 3 tops UK sales, previous Fallout titles

I wasn't interested in the game either. The big reason because I disliked Oblivion very much. But the more I read about it and the more videos I watched, my interest level skyrocketed. IMO it's better than Oblivion.

I hated Oblivion also. This is similar in a way , but it's different enough that I'm actually enjoying it.

It does suck that there are at least 4 more games I want to buy this month.

you hear wrong. its way better than oblivion.

It is much better than Oblivion.

I would not say it's the same as Oblivion but it's like it's older brother. It even has the difficulty slider.

It's a little better but it's not that much better. Just my opinion...

Ba ba bah bah bah...

You fail as a human being.

It shouldn't surprise you that the very people that brought you Oblivions crap hack n slash bore fest combat would find a way to butcher shooting people in the head.

That was something I thought was a little strange too. I mean, I guess it's just too easy to get a headshot with VATS.

I never played Oblivion so I had no reference on how Fallout was going to be. I do realize that a one hit kill headshot with the VATS system would be kinda broken but I would like the enemies to act like they've been shot. Outside of shooting someone in the arm (which they respond to like it's the most painful thing in the world) the enemies just don't react to getting shot. That takes you right out of the experience. And, I'm not going to suffer through a game that doesn't deliver on the experience, even if that does mean I "fail as a human being".

So far so good, almost exactly like Oblivion controls if you ever played that on the 360.

They even have remarkably similar sound effects. I find that kind of a perk.
