Tags: Fallout 3Apparently you can't play a game for 30 minutes and say it sucks but you are able to tell people:
I was one of the purists who believed that a Fallout FPS would not be nearly as effective as the isometric games we are used to. Well, I am man enough to admit when I am wrong and I tell you now: I was wrong. During that half hour, not only did the first or third-person perspective increase immersion into the Fallout universe, it also gave the new combat system a much more approachable interface.
In this gamer's opinion, if you have not pre-ordered the Fallout 3 Survival Edition from Amazon, you are wasting precious time. Fallout 3 is as addicting as Jet sprinkled on iguana-on-a-stick!Immersed in 30 minutes and a definite pre-order. In the first 30 minutes of Doom 3, I think you get to play with the shotgun for a bit. Meanwhile if you want to play the original Fallout, it'll be available on GameTap this Thursday. In other previews, GameShark say:
Within five minutes of leaving Vault 101 and confronting a few enemies, it was crystal clear that Bethesda has crafted an amazingly intuitive, highly inventive combat system.Crystal clear in just five minutes! If you want more head on over to GayGamer where "Fruit Brute and I got a few tightly-scheduled moments with Fallout 3" and tomsgames tells you how sick he was of Fallout's original combat:
I loved Fallout 2 as much as the next PC gamer but some of the early fights, like when you're beating rats to death with a stick, get a tad tedious using turn-based combat. Tedious? Actually I found them to be soul-destroyingly boring. Thankfully, this won't be a problem with Fallout 3.From soul-destroyingly boring to "not a problem". My how much Fallout has changed.
