well alright then!  im torrenting it now so i guess i'll play it sometime tomorrow.  my computer does this thing where every few minutes while im playng a game the colors glitch (http://gamingw.net/pubaccess/50082/bioshock-error.jpg) and that's why i try to avoid playing multi-platform games on my pc, but hopefully since i reformatted a bit ago, it won't do it anymore.  seriously though man, ive had awful luck with video cards.  i had an old gforce that sent my pc into INFINITE LOOPS every 15 seconds in games FOR about 15 seconds, thus making everything unplayable, and now this one does this.  fuck computers all they give me are headaches

ahahahah yeah! my pre-order arrived a day before release day. I am gonna play this like MAD fuck you everyone else who has to wait til tomorrow except the yanks who got it mad earlier than me anyway.

argh, okay fallout 2 is my favourite game and I am a huge fan of the series. I was anticipating this a lot and I am definitely going to type up a more detailed reply when I've digested more of the game but so far this is REALLY COOL. The very few complaints I have are the horrendous walking animations of third person view and the fact that while trying to walk to rivet city there were lots of "well placed" rubble collapses blocking my path forcing me to go through this pretty tough super mutant settlement. I have not looked at any walkthroughs or anything so far so this is all just the path I am taking, I've found myself in Rivet City pretty early into the game. Level 4 or so, I haven't even finished many megaton quests and this is only the second city I've visited. (I assume it is supposed to be a pretty high level area due to super mutants and the fact that Doctor Li just dropped some pretty big bombshells about my Dad.) It is also great that even at a lowly level four it is possible to take out 3 - 4 super mutants at a time with some tactical play. They are pretty lumberingly slow so with the right cover it was easy to take them down without really taking a hit.

I'm finding that playing the "good guy" leaves you feeling a little shafted sometimes though. GO TO THE OTHERSIDE OF THE MAP AND COLLECT ME A LANDMINE... *does so* thanks for collecting that landmine for me, here's a landmine as your reward, oh and a stimpack to compensate the 12 stimpacks you used fending off raiders, bloat flies, an angry sniper, vicious wasteland dogs, molerats, exploding cars and landmines that you accidentally stepped on.

The scariest moment for me so far was running into a Centaur, I wasn't sure if these guys were going to be in the game and they were pretty terrifying, especially when I only had 3 shots of ammunition left in my hunting rifle. I thought it was a human from a distance so I holstered my weapon and started walking towards it, I could see it coming towards me but there was no dramatic music or anything. All of a sudden this mutated pink guy is hurling mucus at me and screaming.

hey ive been playin this for a couple of days and it feels like bethesda took Oblivion, fixed most of the issues and made it into fallout 3 and then introduced a new bunch of bugs

its pretty good but imo a bit too buggy but that's all good. im kind of disappointed that it seems having Intelligence 1 didnt affect dialogue options (my first character had this but I never got outside the vault so maybe it does affect them outside idk but it doesnt seem that way )

but yeah pretty fun game.

I just found a pile of rubble floating a couple of feet off the ground.... looks like the testers were slacking off a little bit.

From what I saw the only thing different about this game was another perspective and more action. (Though not as tedious and repetive as in Brotherhood of Steel) You can even make it  "somewhat" turn based too, acoarding to IGN. Fallout 2 had to be played in real time too, especially in multi player. I am sad this new Fallout lack multiplayer though...


I'm going to get this one soon as I get enough cash.
