I ever loved Fallout games. One and two, despite of the small resolution, isometric 3D and so on had a such gameplay…

I spent almost a year waiting for Fallout 3 to be released. I will not be hard on Amazon who sent me the game one day late (I will NEVER buy a pre-sale game on Amazon again). I finaly got the game, one day after everybody else.

Hopefully it was on a Friday night. I came at home around 19:00.
At 1:00 I was starving. Just kill this damn supermutant, and I go for a lunch (At this time it’s not called a lunch anymore – you eat what you can find in the fridge. Some gekko on a stick and a Nukacola ? )

The time I killed the Mutant, it was around 5:30 AM. I just went to bed. This was my first day (night ?) with Fallout 3.

Yesterday was the 11th of November. The game ended at around 13:00.

It’s a lovely game. Many things are exactly as they were in the previous episode, which I like.
Many things were improved, starting with the 3D look.
Unfortunately, many things were changed or removed, or even not changed.

Pro :

  • 3D
  • the story / the place
  • everything not in cons

Cons :

  • you can’t go everywhere in the city. You have to follow paths
  • not enough monsters species
  • not enough gun types
  • you can’t go up level 20
  • you can’t go up 10 in each SPECIALS
  • spoiler : at the end, it’s the end

Yes, last one is the worst : at the end of the main quest, the game ends. No way to finish the other quests or see the world… BAAAAAAAAD !

But it’s the best game I’ve played with since… previous Fallout, Monkey Island and alone in the dark.

More pics to come soon…
