Is Fallout 3 worth buying an XBox for? y/n

Did Atlus make it?


I enjoyed it thoroughly, if you like ME and such then hell yeah.

Two of my closest friends consider Persona 3/4 to be among the best games ever made. Alas, I found out too late to be able to stop them before they were in too deep.

I kind of want to play L4D too. Already did pretty much everything there is to do in RE5 by playing co-op, same for Gears of War and the sequel.

Then again, I've spent the last three weeks playing on my N64 almost exclusively.

Gears of War and its sequel: ROID RAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE

That about sums it up.

[Conrad]

RE5 is essentially the same thing.

WHY ARE MY ARMS BIGGER THAN MY HEAD EVIL.

That was the title, right?

Fallout 3 is a game you MUST get for the PC because it is Oblivion with Guns, and Oblivion was Shit with Mods.

Why not?

I've created a character with a look I selected and a name I picked. I've made decisions as that character, playing their role, which have made big differences to my gameplay environment and such. FPSRPG imo

I think what he'd say, and I agree with, is that no matter what, you followed a predetermined path set before you with a set of rules (albeit an expansive set) that you were forced to make decisions within (examples: the limitations of character face customization, your responses during dialogue with NPCs). True role-playing has incredibly few, if any, boundaries to it. It's labeled as a RPG because that is the genre it "fits best" in, not because it's actually a "role - playing - game". Sure, you play a role, but it's not the one you want, it's the one the developers tell you you can play from the beginning all the way to the end. In essence you are forced to play a role that someone else already decided for you. So it's more like role-following than role-playing (at least the way "playing" is defined insofar as true role playing is concerned).

People can't think of a genre that involves shooting people?

That depends on your measuring stick for the game right? From a story standpoint, it's "RPG", from a gameplay standpoint it's kind of an action-shooter.

edit: my brevity is weak. brain hurts after working 8h though. perhaps i'll embellish later.

You are now thinking of how a JRPG on fallout 3 would be.

Spoiler: show

Shit
