As new vegas drops in the next few days, does this mean you will say good bye to Fallout 3?

I've just started replaying FO3 yet again. I don't know how many play throughs I've done, but it amazes me that I still have some new experiences with each game. Obviously there is alot of repetition when you've done a number of play throughs but the game still throws some scenarios that still surprise me.

But when new vegas comes out, honestly , It will be quite some time before I even think about playing FO3. With all the stuff that is added in New Vegas I doubt I will get the urge to play FO3 for quite some time. Probably years.

Pardon the nostalgia but after playing FO3 on and off since its release, it feels kinda of weird to say good bye to such a great game. Obviously it had its flaws but what game doesn't?

So what about you, will you ever play FO3 again in a post New Vegas world?

Most likely not. I'll keep it for memories.
Might revisit it in a couple years like we do with FO1 and 2

I was burned out of Fallout 3 months ago. I don't think I can manage to ever play that game again. And since New Vegas is obviously going to be way more in-depth, I think I will always play New Vegas rather than Fallout 3. Then again, years from now, I may have the urge to revisit a the Capitol Wasteland again.

Nope.
Maybe in a year or two.

It's doubtful that i'll ever play Fallout 3 again. I pretty much burned myself out on it i'm sure i clocked up hundreds of hours overall.

At minimum, I've clocked 100 hours. I need some Fallout 3 breathing room at this point.

My game is old and dying... i think its time the old girl got some rest.

Certainly, it still holds ton of value.

I'll be keeping it, but I wont be playing it for a long time.

I'm pretty sure I burned out that game on PS3. I could recite the dialog right of the top of my head. Maybe some years from now after I'm done playing TES series and New Vegas I will pick up FO3 for my PC.

But for now here is my gamelist
FO1
FO2
Tactics
New Vegas
Morrowind
Oblivion

Pretty sure I'll get plenty of playing time out of that. :tops:

BTW are the Diablo games any good?

I'll probably play again eventually, but like others have said, I'm a little burned out on Fallout 3 right now. I remember it was the same way when I switched over from Oblivion to fallout 3, after some time away from it I did go back and play again. I still play Oblivion to this day, although not every day like I used to.

After roughly 8 or 9 playthroughs of Fallout 3, each lasting about 80-100 hours, I doubt I will be back.

Fallout New Vegas looks to improve on the game in every way I could want, and with multiple critical paths instead of one, and the chance to make a truly unique character each time (age, background, etc.) I imagine I will keep going back to it to get my Fallout fix instead of Fallout 3.

I replayed FO3 for the last time a couple of months ago, and did and saw everything I wanted to, as I knew it would likely be the last time I played it for the next few years.

I compare it to FO1 and FO2. I replay FO2 more than FO1 because of all the improvements to gameplay and the larger variety in the game world, even though I like the story in FO1 much better. It looks like New Vegas will pull a FO2 on FO3 and even have a better story to boot, so FO3 is likely to go years and years before I replay it again.

I WILL certainly revisit the capital wastes. After I've beaten New Vegas a couple times, I will go right back to it, although I have a feeling I'll be like. "I miss Iron Sights" or "I miss actually NEEDING this mutfruit". Still. I loved the game, and still do. I've logged over 500 hours in three save files. And I plan to log at least 500 more. I'm in Late 2279 on one save file. Been level 30 for over one in game year, discovered almost everything in the game, and still love it.

hell no, ill keep the game but I probably wont play it again for a long time

Yes the diablo games are awesome

Oh man I know right? Sometimes I'll find myself reciting some of my favorite dialogue spoken by characters when the time comes x_x

Also, your list

Just finally beat it.
I hate Frank Horrigan, still havent killed him.
Got bored of it and just gave up.
Eagerly waiting.
Never Played it.
Fun game love it.

I don't know what's sadder:

That you've actually played a character for that long, or that I am legitimately envious.

Once I get a HD PVR, then I will. But that won't be for maybe another year or so.

Well, seeing as Mothership Zeta kind of burned me out for about a year now (I couldn't continue playing after that travesty), I don't see myself going back to my Xbox 360 version of it anytime soon.

If I get the PC version, I may return to it with a mod like FWE, because I'd like the DC wasteland to feel somewhat fresh and new again. And I'd also not like to do the same 45 minute tutorial over and over again for each character I create.

But I don't see myself returning to Fallout 3 until sometime way down the line after I finish everything I can with New Vegas.

For now, I'm playing Morrowind and Oblivion to get my RPG fix until New Vegas releases so it can fully fulfill my needs.

I have no desire to return to the game, and unless New Vegas totally svcks I don't think I ever will again. So many things are being improved, I like the location so much more, and I like the factions so much more. I love Fallout 3, I really do. But I firmly believe that I have laid it to rest permanently.

Hell no, I'll be back. Haven't even finished my melee-only playthrough, and I still need to visit every map location with my main.

It'll get sidelined for a while, sure, but definitely not abandoned forever.

I don't think I could possibly ever waste more time playing Fo3 Again. It had nowhere near the depth that the first 2 had. I just hope this time the game isn't so wooden. It sure paints a pretty picture in graphics but the game play in regards to quests is just.. For lack of a better word brutal. They basically just tell you where to go, who to talk to, you get all the damn details on how to solve the quest. I like there to actually be some thinking involved to this type of game. Violence and mayhem is alright, but what is the point after 50 hours of game play to find out all your actions come down to a single decision? Spread the Fev virus, or dont, like at the end of Fo3. The old fallout games really captured something with gamers like my self during those golden years of gaming. Anyone reading this who never played the first fallout games during their reign in this world will never comprehend what I mean in this statement. But all you old school guys will know. I look forward to seeing if New Vegas can redeem the fallout series to its former glory with it's awesome BGM, Verbose dialogue, Non Linear feeling quests, and Weapon/Items detailed descriptions.

Probably not directly, but I know my way around the geck, I might try to see if I can load the capitol wasteland on new vegas's engine.

Amen.

Considering I still play the first two games, Morrowind, and Oblivion, I think it's safe to say I'll revisit the Capital Wasteland eventually.
