I know what you mean about Oblivion I just wasn't pulled into it straight away.

It's much more than that

For one thing, I didn't like the combat system for Oblivion. Felt too clunky. And it wasn't as open as it liked to think it was (probably a restriction of the time though). And the story just didn't inspire me or make me attached to anyone.

First two Fallouts were brilliant though

Then you'd better not mention you playing WoW again

. Though I do agree with detachment from the characters, it's definitely a valid point.
Glad the first 2 were brilliant, they were 2 games I ignored.

If I get it done in a quick fashion you're more than welcome to borrow it Jen.

What's WoW got to do with it?

Completely different genre

The combat isn't clunky, just very detached and minimal but games like that always manage to do well because of their communities more than anything else. I always have different expectations for single player games.

And thanks for the offer

The combat in WoW is awful! But yes, I see your point regarding SP and MP and their combat and communities. Heck, I only played CSS because I liked people in the community, it was just an advantage that I was excellent at it, but if it was a SP game I would never play it - heck, I didn't even like HL2 and the Source Engine annoys me.

And no worries

The combat in Fallout is completely different to Oblivion. You can play it like an FPS if you like (though there is an underlying RPG element determining accuracy and damage), or you can use the VATS combat system and turn it into a more similar combat experience to the first two games. I know I'll probably float between the two, depending on who and what I'm facing. I'm sure certain enemies will be easier using one method or the other.

As with most games for me now, I'll wait till it's around £20 and pick it up, or providing I get paid soon, £30. I just hope I can stand people saying how good it is (Nokkon) and don't rush out and buy it (Ninja Gaiden 2)

NokkonWud · 21-10-2008, 14:59

Did you rush out and buy it (NG2) on my say-so?

Creature · 21-10-2008, 15:05

Nope, on everyone else saying how good it was.
