Who will keep playing FO3 once New Vegas is released? : Fallout 3

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 12:40 am

I have so much yet to explore and accomplish in FO3, I may be playing this game for 2 more years!! What do you guys think? :facepalm:

I've played it to death. I like it so much that I played it too much and spoiled it. I think I will like Vegas more so that will be the game that I play too much. I can only see myself playing F3 again in a few years if Beth release a Vegas style hardcoe mode for it, or a mission pack to add some new quests or something like that. But just playing the same game again... nope.

Yea, I've pretty much drained it of all the entertainment possible. Im pretty much done with it. I've stopped playing it, although I do pop in the disk occasionally.

Im mostly playing Oblivion till NV comes out. When NV comes out, I'll stick to it. I got both Oblivion and Fallout 3 on launch, hopefully I'll get NV on launch too. Let's see if I can keep up the tradition.

As it looks like I wont be getting NV because of it being a Steam exclusive title I'll keep playing FO3

I have been playing FO3 since it was released so I will be taking a hiatus and I will be putting all my time and energy into NV. Eventually, I know I will return to FO3 just like I always go back to Oblivion.

Probably not unless NV is really bad or I want to feel that nostalgia sometime when I have nothing better to do before Fallout 4 comes out, whenever that is. I've owned FO3 since Xmas 2008, so I played about a year and half (considering I stopped 2 months ago). I was unemployed most of that time too so you very well could be playing for 2 years from now if you let yourself. I've pretty much done all there is to do though and have milked the game dry though. I'm glad I got the game long enough ago that I don't have to worry about not being done with it by the time NV. I can rest easy knowing I'm ready to move on to the next chapter of Fallout.

I don't know to be honest

I expect I will be immersed in Vegas so it's unlikely i will keep playing FO3 at the same time, but there's so much I like about FO3 I expect I would come back to it at some time.

I'll do Vegas pretty intensely if it's the same entertainment value as F3. And by that time I'll probably have forgotten a lot of stuff from it so it'll still be worthwhile to head back into it, on and off.

i still play morrowind even though i have oblivion

so, probably

I'll probably be playing F3 till xmas since I'm sort of broke and hopefully
I'll probably get NV then

It's not a Steam exclusive title, you'll be able to buy it anywhere games are usually sold. You just need Steam in order to activate it. It's not that much different than having to enter a serial code when you install it really, except that now you need to go online in order to do that. It works almost exactly the same as Windows does if you install it for the first time, except there's no phone in option. If you're going to complain about Steam, at least get your facts straight. I'm not too crazy about the idea of needing Steam either, but at least I've made the effort to understand how it's going to work.

I won't. I've played enough 3, and New Vegas looks better, so I'll jump to that once I get it.

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 11:05 pm

I'm done with 3. I doubt I will ever go back. I kind of have a hard time believing New Vegas could possibly be worse than Fallout 3.

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 5:38 am

I might play Fallout 3 again after New Vegas comes out but not anytime soon.

I just finished my second play through (game of the year edition) of the main quest and have all the DLC's to get to. So I will be playing FO3 for a long, long time after New Vegas comes out.

I'm pretty burned out on FO3. I put so many hours into it I got tired of it, then started loading mods and got interested again. Now I'm back to standing in the wastes wondering what I might like to do again...

I'm carefully avoiding the NV forums so I don't see any spoilers this time. I looked up a bit too much stuff on the wiki for FO3 just because I knew nothing, but it kinda wrecked some great discoveries.

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 5:51 am

probably not though i wouldn't doubt some day i will go back to playing it

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 6:01 am

I won't know until I've played New Vegas, which I will as soon as it's released. My copy's already reserved. It'll be the first PS game I've ever paid full New Release price for.

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:03 pm

ill play it for a while wait for all the expansion packs of NV

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 2:55 pm

Not until I've finished NV about 6 times.

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 3:15 pm

I'm probably not going to get New Vegas until after Feb 1 when I've handed in my master thesis, which probably means that I'll continue to play FO3 well after release, even though I really shouldn't.

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 5:23 pm

I'll more than likely take a long break from it. Just until I beat New Vegas then I'll go back to it. Like some of the responses here, I'm doing the Oblivion thing right now as well. That game never gets old. :woot:

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 12:57 am

i will continue to play 3. i want to beat nv first but i have played fo3 through 4 times and there are sill things that i want to do or haven't found. I love the replay value of the game. how may of you have found all of the unique weapons? i haven't yeah i got the mirv but there are plenty more.

» Mon Mar 14, 2011 4:36 pm

I just started playing Fallout 3. I won't get to FNV until I am done with it. I guess it won't be before patches and unofficial patches are out and mature.

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 5:19 am

I'll buy NV for PS3 and FO3's on PC, so I'm probably going on the PC FO3 mod-playing after I've done everything interesting in NV.
