Fallout 3 50 percent off on Steam

Still do not want... Maybe for $0.99, make it happen Steam!

My reason for not owning it is that I am waiting for GAME OF THE YEAR Edition with all of the DLC already on the disc. We know it will happen.

love my FO3, but Jesus do they need to fix the micro stuttering issues. It's killing me.

well when you put it that way... *whips out credit card*

"...having Danny Kaye songs endlessly stuck in your head..."

does this mean you are going to embed "Tubby the Tuba" in every post?

Yeah, I own the game for the 360 and have unlocked all of the achievements, yet I still just bought it on the PC so I could play with the GECK. I'm such a junkie.

I wish my computer could handle Fallout 3...It'd give me an excuse to play it all over again.

"They have things like atom bomb, so i think ill stay were i 'OM "

Really go ahead and get it. The longer you wait the harder those 40-90 hours are going to be to squeeze in

tempted to install windows just to play this

Own it on pc and 360 already. Does this mean I need to buy it a third time?

I really didn't like the game, it was very frustrating at times, the storyline sucked big time, the AI was shitty and the moral choices were so black and white it was ridiculous.

I bought the special edition of this game, with the lunch box and the bobble head, when it was $40 on amazon. I have to say it is the most dissapointing game I have ever played. The vast, beautifully rendered world and the storyline had so much potential, I was expecting it to rival Bioshock. Not even close. Any ounce of immersion you can get from the landscape and the story is quickly cut out by bad voice acting, before you even really start playing. Then you start moving around the world and see that they didn't bother hiring animators for this game, they just had some random intern do all the animations. Then you kill a girls father, and while the bad actress attempts to be emotional the character model rigidly moves so it's facing neither you or her dead father. Okay, so the animation isn't good and the acting isn't good. At least it looks pretty when nothings moving.

Finally, I get out of the Vault and start moving around the world. Everything is lifeless, so there's a lot of walking. Lots of walking. The scenery is great for a while, but it gets boring. FINALLY I got to get into some combat, and nevermind the rest of the games flaws, the combat is unimaginably bad. You realize that they didn't think up the fancy VATS system as a gimmick, but because you NEED it for the combat to be bearable.

I put at least 4 hours to that game and I desperately wish for them back. Yea I know a bunch of people are going to disagree with me, but I don't care. Games are supposed to be fun, and games like this are supposed to be immersive. Fallout 3 was neither for me.

my excuse is that i do not have the spare 4-8 gigs worth of bandwidth to download this game with. I'd rather wait till its cheaper on disk

Good game mechanically but if you're looking for an immersive rpg wait for dragon age.

So does the official DLC and user mods work with the steam version of the game?

A quick google of Fallout 3 DLC with Steam revealed some nasty threads where people were having to employ all kinds of hacks and workarounds to get the paid DLC to work with the Steam version of the game. Is this still the way it is or is it easy pay and play now, and do the user mods work on the Steam version?

shit man it's really tempting to just buy the game now. But as much as I want it now I'm waiting till October when the GOTY edition is released. (so I can have the game, all the DLC and not have to put all the DLC-goodness on my ever-shrinking Hardrive.) sweet.

Caramelzappa did bring up a point, the combat and animations were awful. Almost barable with VATs though, although gimmicky atleast it was an extra once of strategy.

For some reason Joystiq doesn't consider PC gamers.. to be gamers. In fact, they had a PC tag but -took it out- with this new remodeled website. Thanks, Joystiq!

However, I've started reading gaming blogs that DO include the PC tag. I'm here for a change of pace after a long 'Stiq-sabbatical.

I always see screenshots of people using Big Guns, but I don't really know anyone who actually uses them in the game.

I know I'm just baiting a thousand responses to the contrary, but I'd actually be interested to know who does choose to use Big Guns.

I love my patience. I told myself I won't buy this game at full retail price because I didn't like what Bethesda did to the franchise. Thanks to steam, I'll be paying this game of what it just deserve.

Before you flame me, I love Fallout especially 1 and 2. Just didn't like the direction/change that Bethesda did. For the sake of Fallout, I'm buying it half the price!

Just picked it up, been meaning to for a while after playing the 360 version to death. Can't resist mods.

Now to wait for a 3 - 4 hour download... Dammit...

Like on my earlier message, I bought the game, played a few hours liking it then BAM! I the game freezes every freaking time I move to a spot. Game froze 6x now since I installed the game and once after installing the most latest patch. Am I missing something here? I mean this game is being hailed by so many and I can't even freaking hit a box with my bat just to have fun coz it freezes the game! Oh btw my comp is high end so it has nothing to do with it. Can someone pls tell me the secret how to make this game playable for at least 1 hour before it freezes again.
