Did anyone play?
I saw 1, but not played it so much. I played 2 and it was amazing! I love RPG games and post-apo world.
I wish I could play Fallout 3 some time. I'm actually thinking of a way of getting this game 'cause my computer is good enough to it xD

Never played the first 2 because I didn't have a lot of computer games back then (starcraft was the only one I really had) but I played Fallout 3 and thought it was awesome. Games today (ps3, xbox360) I think are ok though I was never really blown away by them but I was pretty impressed with fallout 3. The post-apocalyptic theme, the weapons, the customization, the companions, the quests, the story, it was all put together really well. Though I heard a lot of the fans of Fallout 1 & 2 didn't like the 3rd game for some reason.

I've watched my boyfriend play the 3rd one and it seems like the kind of game I'd like. (Anything post-apocalyptic - movie OR video game I usually like<3) So I decided to start my own game on it... Got bored in the vault thing. >_> I might just have him do the rest of that part so I can get to the more fun parts. xD

I have and I'm looking forward to it's release. I was thinking of pre-ordering it for the bonus items in the game, but now I'll probably skip that.

I have played both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas along with their DLCs. I own the Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition and Fallout: New Vegas The Ultimate Edition. Both for the Xbox 360. I am really addicted to this series, the 1950s aesthetic is appealing and the fact that this game series takes place in an alternate timeline where the Cold War never ended is even more intriguing to me. That said I love Fallout: New Vegas better than Fallout 3 although Fallout 3 had some things that beat Fallout: New Vegas.

I love Fallout: New Vegas for a number of reasons, firstly the fact that you can mod your weapons is a big plus for me and makes them perform better in the game, the weapons themselves are far more colorful with different camo textures and look more like real world weapons. The DLCs were better in New Vegas than in Fallout 3. I loved the Lonesome Road and the story of Ulysses, he is one of my favorite characters in this franchise. I loved exploring such a variety of locations in Fallout: New Vegas from the hauntingly beautiful Zion Canyons to the poison choked clouded streets of the Sierra Madre. Each of these stories was linked in some way to one another so you felt like you could learn a lot about the lore of the world and the characters therein. That said there are some drawbacks to New Vegas, chiefly among these is the fact that the Mojave Wasteland is much smaller in size compared to the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3, but the DLCs alone in New Vegas made up for this.

As for Fallout 3 you gotta love exploring the post-apocalyptic remains of Washington DC and learning about what happened there. The story was more personal than in Fallout: New Vegas but the DLCs left a lot to be desired. I loved The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage. The first you explore the post-apocalyptic remains of Pittsburgh and learn about the massive slaver operation there whereas in Operation: Anchorage you get to enter a highly jingoistic version of the 1950s with anti-communist sayings and fighting the red menace in the form of the Chinese. That said I hated Mothership Zeta and Point Lookout, both bored me to tears and I only completed the quests to get cool loot. As for Broken Steel, it is more of an extension of the plot of Fallout 3 rather than a true DLC installment.
