Terrorist hunt is awesome. Awesome and hard. It's basically multiplayer with bots that follow one of a few set formations etc, but you have to be tactical and react fast. Just recently started going through R6V2 again co-op, forgot how much fun it is

[Dyson]

Play with meeee

[Pantsu Man!]

R6V1's story was such a bore I never finished it in singleplayer. Only in mulitplayer online, because then I didn't have to think too much, and all I did was chat and run around. Terrorist Hunt and multiplayer are a blast though. Absolutely loved it.

Then came along R6V2. Single player was awesome. Multiplayer was even more awesome. Terrorist Hut was just as good. (That's right, Terrorist Hut. Where they make the pizzas.)

Get it.

Also, it's less than a tenner in Zavvi's Mega Monday deal online today. Go go go!

[Wesley]

Agh! I just ordered it! Peer pressure!

[Dyson]

you know, I think I might buy it too and send back my rental copy. It's impressed me and I enjoy it. We'll have to give co-op a whirl at some point Wesley.

[Ganepark32]

So it's the second Vegas that's a tenner? Hmmm... dunno. Like the first one for it's online because 4 player search and destroy or whatever it was (the one with like 50 terrorists that you have to kill and if you die, that's you done, and on the school map). Didn't really enjoy the single player. Too hard. The second level I think where you have to make your way through the streets and cars to the casino pissed me off greatly. I'll think about it. Need something 'new' to play as I'm bored with all my options on the 360 (apart from Rock Band).

If you can wait for me to move into my new flat with fancy internet (by fancy I mean working) then we must!

[Hero-of-Time]

The multiplayer in Vegas 2 is awesome. The Villa map was so much fun to play, had some great games with Stefkov and Rob back in the day Happy times!

[Cube]

Just completed Mirror's Edge. The last two levels are complete torture. And then the final boss is simply running forward and jumping. Time to sell it.

^ wouldn't bother. You won't get much for it now.

I got £4 for it in GAME and that was trade in value!

 

I've been playing Fallout 3 since Sunday and im not impressed at all with it. Im finding that the game is just too big, im spending ages just walking around the wastelands trying to get to my next destination. I had the same boring feeling when playing Oblivion, not sure why I thought this would be any different. Easily one of the most over hyped games i've played.

 

Geoff Keighly said something in last weeks Bonus Round which I totally agree with. He mentioned how games don't have to be massive like say Fallout 3 but can be quite linear like CoD4 and still feel like a large open game world.

[Dyson]

Interesting, the large open aspect is one of the things that draw me towards saying that the game is possibly my favourite of the generation. The freedom to do anything, the huge span of the world and how doing it all feels like a large world as opposed to several spaced out smaller levels.

On a more serious note Fallout 3 is so rough around the edges you could use it as an impromptu shuriken. It's a bit like Mass Effect in that regard: there's a lot of things about it that annoy me and yet I keep finding myself playing it anyway. In fact I'm currently trying not to buy Broken Steel, although really it's an inevitability.

[Wesley]

Yeah Fallout 3 was my highlight of last year. I really want to play through it again and also get the DLC. Now that the Broken Steel content is out, could someone please explain how they could fit altogether? I find it a bit pointless to buy DLC and play through it, for no XP to be kept by my character, etc. I just want to play through the DLC, keep the stats gained, and then use Broken Steel to keep on truckin'.

[Dyson]

*recommends Broken Steel*

 

Seriously, it's very good. The level cap being raised is my favouritestest thing about it but the new quests are decent too. Liberty Prime ftw.

I'm confused, what do you mean? To use Broken Steel you just download it, and it's done. It doesn't matter if you start a new game or if you load up your save in the Purifier before you make the choice; it will take effect.

 

Simply put, instead of the game forcing you to return to main menu after the final shipped quest, it has a 2 weeks later cutscene and you're given a new quest. From this point you can do the new quests or just continue your character however you wish. Your character is the same as the one you used at the purifier, equipment, stats, perks and all.

What dyson said.

 

Broken steel is very good and i enjoyed playing on it again!!!

I went all the way through Fallout 3 and didn't find any of these "rough" issues? Certainly not any that would compare to those of Mass Effect, which felt like a game that shipped 3 months before it was completely debugged and optimised.

[Dan_Dare]

na dude that's just how Bioware roll

[Kirkatronics]

Oh god the problems are back!

 

Also, i killed someone in 1 shot with the BB Gun.

[Dyson]

Was it a radroach? Critical hits ftw. Spent 8 hours solid exploring the Capital Wasteland once again earlier bringing my Fallout 3 time up to 65 hours. It's amazing how much playability the game has, especially now that the cap is 30.

[Aimless]

Oh, they're definitely there. I've been fairly lucky with it myself, just the odd deformed character, an occasional enemy falling from the sky, and maybe a couple of hours lost to getting stuck in scenery with enemies around; I couldn't Fast Travel so had to reload my last autosave.

[Shorty]

Ah yes, getting stuck, I remember that actually. I found that the best way to solve that was to save and then load right where you were and it tended to "pop" you out. With such an immense map that kind of thing is bound to happen. That's why MMOs have GMs who can teleport you about or /stuck commands to shift you sideways a bit.

So how does the other DLC fit in? In terms of keeping any stats I gain from them for Broken Steel? I'm confussed.

 

Also, I didn't come across any glitches in Fallout 3... which was odd. I was expecting some because of the size and genre...

Totally agree with you on the Fallout front. Didn't help that the vistas were terribly uninteresting and drab to look at.
