Whats wrong with the hitreg and 3rd person
he says his bat clipped through a guy's face and the 3rd person is ugly

There were a couple things about the game that bothered me, however. Hit detection seemed somewhat spotty. For instance, when I swung a bat at the merchant’s face, the bat sort of clipped through the guy’s face. Another thing that irked me was that the game’s combat lacked a sense of realism. In order to cripple the merchant as he ran away from me, I had to shoot him at least ten times in the leg. One other thing that bugged me is that the game’s third person view just does not look very good. Sure it’s pretty cool to be able to see the new armor and clothing you obtain as the game progresses, but the character models look so bland in comparison to the amazing looking environments.

I was looking forward to 3rd person They have 57 days to fix it

Sheesh.

it's not like that's the only typo in the article either

Edit: oh, and I'm currently using my laptop as well.

Dude. What's the big deal? He probably rushed through the article and wanted to go see more stuff at PAX. I would too.

Yep. He also probably played an earlier version of the game. I'm guessing it'll be fixed at launch.

lol, kotaku has a liveblog up for the Xbox Japan conference, and they were apparentely demoing Fallout 3 when it froze.

He also said "this isn't a shooter" and confirmed there will be 100 hours of gameplay.

Fuck yeah.

Hey!

Damn you guys, you started without me!
I've been waiting for this game for 10 years. I'll sure as hell order the game for PC, but I'm still thinking on if I'll order the SE or not.

Shacknews caught up with Bethesda veep Pete Hines and Fallout 3 art lead Istvan Pely during PAX and asked the duo a whole mess of questions about – you guessed it – Fallout 3. One of the most salient responses came to a question regarding how the developer expects DLC quests for the game to shake out.

On the scope of DLC, Hines told Shacknews: "We want stuff that's going to be several hours. Not just like a one-off thing, but something like where you can download it and play it for X number of hours," further clarifying plans by adding, "It'll be similar to what we did with Knights of the Nine in Oblivion, where it's like whole new quest lines, new stuff, that kind of thing."

As for a post-launch DLC roll-out time line, Hines was non-committal, saying only that "we already have folks starting to look into what [the DLC] might be."

The stuff about Vault 106 and what the Vaults were meant to do is kinda essential to the story.

Actually no...blame the Australian game rating board. Better yet, blame the South Australian representative as he is the one who votes no.
The rating must be anomalously so yeah....

But really....100 hours in this game?
Pfft it will be repetitive by 20 hours and the rest will be rinse repeat.

looks disappointing compared to the first 2 (tactics doesnt count) and made by different people, i dont think it will be anywhere near as good as fallout, and if oblivion is anything to go by, looks good on trailers, overall is quite boring

It's been Fallout 3 week on IGN. Pretty cool vids, although a lot of gameplay is recirculated from the PAX Gameplay vids. Interesting to see what's going to happen with Megaton/Tenpenny Tower if you choose to or not to blow up Megaton.

Some news.

Fallout 3 PC to ship with "simple" DRM

Bethesda has announced that Fallout 3 will be shipping with only a simple DVD check DRM-wise.

This game is a definite maybe for me.
