Fallout 3 is a lot of fun. So is New Vegas. I'd recommend both of those games.

I doubt I would be able to sit long enough to figure out how to shoot something, but I will give it a shot when I turn my pocket change into Amazon credits...Is there a difference in XBOX360 or PS3 Versions? (I have like one PS3 game and it is Under Defeat...I can remember if I have Ketsui too...hundreds of games = too many games...think I am near 1k console games from SMS, Wii, PSP, GB, DS, PS3, PS2 XBOX360, XBOX, Saturn, Genesis/MegaDrive, SegaCD, Dreamcast, NeoGeo Pocket, and probably more haha...getting silly)

3 Genesis systems, 2 DS lites, 2 Xbox 360 (one is NTSC-J), two dreamcasts (one is NTSC-J), two PS-2s (one is NTSC-J)

I really need to sell this stuff...only played one game in the last year before last week...haha (I was thinking that if I ever had kids they would love the same games I did...but I think being a masochist is kind of out of style except for that one game with the knights and like real reprocussions for dying that came out recently (can't remember the name of it really wanted to play it though...and there is probably like 4 of them now...video games kind of stopped for me with the launch of the xbox 360...and there was a big gap between the dreamcast and that)...but, yea, the kids ain't into R-type, Gradius, or Raiden anymore )

Haha...still want to get ibara and dangun feveron PCBS...which reminds me that I played Strikers 1999 at an arcade in Santa Cruz on vacation...did well too...forgot about that! It was a blast.

Sorry for the ramble...I'll try Fallout 3...I liked the old ones (yea, totally different games)

As a lover of Fallouts 1 & 2, Fallout 3 was ok. New Vegas I found a hell of a lot more fun than 3 but still lacking compared to 1 & 2. Still would recommend the two newer games because I certainly enjoyed them, just don't expect them to live up to the legacy and you'll be golden.

Good deal...trust you and ST on this...time to go to coinstar!

Got a shipping notice for Pier Solar Dreamcast today...already have the mega drive one...Can't even remember how long ago I ordered this (close to a year ago?)...

Man, weirdness of pre-orders eh?

My dreamcast collection keeps growing and it is in storage haha

Power Stone 2 remains the most fun more-than-two-player fighter ever.

This has been my experience to a T. Would love to try 4 but I'm definitely not going to pick it up until after the holidays.

Amazon fucked me and sent my pip boy out two days late so it arrived exactly one day after i have to leave for a business trip. Fuck you amazon.

Ah, somebody with my tastes...I agree with ya on Power Stone 2! Such a fun game and simple too. Dreamcast is still my favorite system and it will probably never die (what is it...over 10 years later and still new games? But I guess Mega Drive, SNES, NES, etc all getting games too...but I kinda feel like the dreamcast scene was at the forefront of all that...).

Except it was terrible on the PSP (I don't know why Capcom released all those things for PSP anyway).

I don't disagree with this, but I'm willing to sacrifice that legacy if it means more games and a deeper journey into the weird heart of the wasteland universe now and in the future.

I think my RAM was actually at my door yesterday. I had to duck out for a doctor's appointment and blood test after I got bitten at work, so I missed it. Lazy ass courier didn't even write down the delivery time or any details on the slip he left. And the code is barely legible, like his just literate four year old came to work with him that day and got to do all the slips.
Can't pick it up until Monday.
So fucking pissed.

Good RPGs on the 3DS? I've mostly used mine for Bravely Default, Zelda and Pokemon.

[foomanfat]

The Mario & Luigi games were always a good time. Also, that last Fire Emblem got rave reviews.

[Andrew]

Hmm, I kind of think that Vita still might be my go to. Indies and weird jRPGs a plenty.

I like Bravely Default and Monster Hunter but i generally find the Vita a bit better for RPG's. There's SMT Devil Survivor, Tales of the Abyss and Etrian Odyssey too but i haven't tried those.
Been meaning to try Fire Emblem too. I've only really been using mine for Zero Escape and Project Mirai.

Picked up Dragons Crown on sale, I really should have played it sooner. It's amazing so far.

PSN really has some great sales, I kind of prefer it to Steam now.

Weapon crafting in Fallout 4 is so good.

[ShaolinLambKiller]

I'll be starting some fallout 4 sometime this week I hope. My wife wants to be the first to dive into it but I get home hours before her...so hell with her. She still gets the pipboy though and all.

And I was one of the people who started with original Fallout and loved it. But I do love Fallout 3 more. I don't care much else besides the actual universe it takes place in. I like being able to just do what I feel like as I feel like. Hell I never even found my dad in FO3, I just didn't give a shit to do that, I like wandering the wastes just killing everything as I see fit. I plan on doing the same in FO4.


on another note. yest is when I got my PS4 in since I got the Battlefront edition... thought I was getting a fucking game disc, not a digital download. so instead of fully enjoying the game I spent an hour downloading the game and then I was glad to play as Darth Vader killing rebels while the game installed... but I didn't think it would be installing for 3 damn hours. I had my full of that map after an hour. Hell I lost a bit of interest when my kill count went above 99. I want to know exactly how many rebels I killed.

Weapon crafting is the best. But there's never enough adhesive. I found out that you can grow your own adhesive though. Just need to combine corn, mutfruit, tatos, and purified water at a cooking station.

Also yesterday I ran into my first three deathclaws. The first two came at the same time after I triggered an alarm on a tower. One of which was a legendary alpha deathclaw. Not even half an hour later, the third one climbed out of a sink hole I was walking past and happened to also be legendary. I no longer have any ammo, but on the upside, one of them gave me an explosive minigun.
