DESCRIPTION

A nuclear holocaust has turned Washington, DC, into a radioactive wasteland. Mutant creatures freely roam the land while a select few survivors live safely within underground shelters engineered by the Vault-Tec Corporation. Your uneventful life inside the vault takes a dramatic turn when your father mysteriously disappears. Looking for answers, you begin a journey into the great unknown — a test of survival in an inhospitable environment. Based on the acclaimed post-apocalyptic role-playing series from former publisher Interplay, Fallout 3 features a wide-open world viewed from a choice of first- or third-person perspectives.

Developed by the team behind the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and featuring the same graphics engine, Fallout 3 has you embarking on an assortment of quests while exploring, scavenging, and battling for your continued existence. Scrap-metal cities and rusted shantytowns are sources of human contact, but in between them lurk a number of hostile threats. The real-time combat is modeled after shooting games, albeit with the option to pause time for more precise shots using V.A.T.S. (the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System). V.A.T.S. lets you pinpoint vulnerability areas with the help of percentage markers displayed on each body part. The higher the percentage, the likelier you are to hit the highlighted area.

Aiming at a particular body part can cripple it, affecting the enemy's ability to use an arm or leg in combat, while critical hits result in graphic displays of dismemberment. Defeating enemies earns you experience points to enhance your character's stats and acquire abilities called "perks," or specific talents in a chosen area of expertise. Fallout 3 also features some camaraderie in the form of a loyal canine named Dogmeat and a non-player character of your choosing. A licensed soundtrack with songs from the '40s and '50s helps set the mood, offering such hits as "Way Back Home," "Anything Goes," "Butcher Pete," and "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire."

The "Game of the Year Edition" includes the full original game, and for the first time on PS3, all five of Fallout 3's expansion packs: Operation Anchorage, Broken Steel, The Pitt, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“*cough* Yeah...I kinda mercy killed Moira before detonating the bomb. Whether it was to save her from the bomb or her own annoying voice, I'm not sure.

But I read her corpse shows up around underworld so she's not completely gone! Though she'll be dead, so I guess it doesn't really matter.”

“Why would you get rid of your copy of FFVII? It's gonna get pretty valuable. Guess you aren't a collector like I am.”

Reiaze was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“Eh, its just a casualty of my downsizing movement. I'm going to get rid of some things I don't use anymore and make some cash to pay off some bills in the process.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“I pretty much never get rid of any games, even ones I don't like.”

“@EarthboundX You keep the ones you don't like? That's just silly. Stop it with the jokes man, I'm dying over here :P ”

Reiaze was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@EarthboundX Well, I may keep FFVII since it is one of my favorites, but I'm not that attached to any of the others in my sell box. FF Chronicles especially. I've always hated that one simply because it was a terrible port of two awesome games.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@rawkr Well I'm a collector, I don't get rid of anything.
@Reiaze Yeah, those had to be the worst ports I've ever seen. How the hell they got 2mb games, on 700mb discs to be that laggy with those load times, I have no idea.

“LOL! Nice I see you're doing the same thing. Since GamerDNA doesn't record what we play anymore it's just easier to do a weekly event log.”

Reiaze was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@DarthOdium Yeah, it would be so much easier to guilt myself into writing something if gDNA was still posting empty entries haha”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@Reiaze I used to write much longer game entries for what I played that day. Then I noticed they'd get maybe 2 views. So now I write a couple sentences or less.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“And keep in mind, I'm still the highest followed user on GamerDNA, if I get maybe 2 views, I can't imagine if anyone gets any.”

Reiaze was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@EarthboundX I used to write in hopes others would read it, and I still do to a point, but now it's more for myself. I have fun writing it and usually have a laugh or two when I read it again later.”

rawkr was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@Reiaze On that note, check out my Red Dead Redemption gameplay! I feel like an asshole if I nudge anyone about it, but those of you playing it or who have played it might find some of it amusing. there are still a few activities waiting to be added though, I am lazy in that regard. it's is the first game where I actually took notes as I played.”

DarthOdium was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@Reiaze That's usually why I write. If I had fun during a game and felt like talking about it, and if someone reads it. Awesome! If not, no lose on my part. Also I like doing it since I'm not the strongest writer out so I like practicing.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@Reiaze Me as well, I pretty much just write game entries for me, as a reminder kinda.”

rawkr was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“I'm backed up. I don't write them all, and Red Dead took so much time I am playing catch-up.”

“@EarthboundX FFVII is no longer valuable. The price plummeted when it hit PSN. Scarcity = value and now...”

“Well new copies are selling for over 100 bucks on Amazon.

rawkr was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“@dhaikage Yes for those content to have a digital copy, the ten bucks they charge on PSN is enough. But there are always the collectors who have more money than logic, and they will spend more than necessary to get a physical copy of the original game.”

EarthboundX was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“I got lucky, I got a copy for 3 bucks, back when I worked at Goodwill.”

rawkr was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“But I will grant you that it did drop a bit. The lowest I saw was 30 bucks for the black label, and the highest being around 60. Green label was around a buck.”

rawkr was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“I bought another copy when the PSone was on its way out. Then my black label copy up and disappeared. That sucked. But I still bought it when it came out on PSN. Hopefully they will get the hint and remake it for PS3.”

Reiaze was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“I stumbled upon this copy of VII (my second, a black label) at the grocery store I used to work at for $7 new. I have never played a complete game through with this copy. I wanted to preserve it though because when I was checking it to sell I found all three discs in D-Skins. Same story for IX, but it's a green label.”
