Got Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition faster than I thought it would arrive.
The game certainly has some stability issues, and the lack of anti aliasing is pretty annoying (Playing this on the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 one has it), but so far I have enjoyed it and it is working better than I had expected. The overall world is just so overwhelming though, and I am worried I will mess something up almost every step of the way. You can literally kill anyone (except maybe kids? I never tried) and I think this will have a huge effect on what happens later on, so I am playing kind of overly cautious.
I am pretty annoyed though, the lockpicking is harder to understand than Oblivion's was, and now it is just way too hard for me to even attempt that. I was stuck in a section early on and thought I broke the game because I wandered aimlessly for hours, but apparently I am just a moron and could have used a key on a door.
@ Sanus: The story is weakest in the game? I thought the last 2 games, in game story was weak. Damn! Well atleast this time I know what to expect so hopefully I won't be disappointed.
Fingers Crossed, will play Yakuza 3 this year!
Well, to each his own I suppose, you might like this one the most if that is the case.
For the first few hours of the game the main focus is on Kiryu running an orphanage and is mostly interactions between them and a set few people in Okinawa. Yakuza 2 started slow too, but I was literally on the edge of my seat for every moment of that once it got going. Outside of how incredible some of the fights in 3 got, most of the story did not effect me as much as I thought it would.
I think the way the game was built this time though was for interesting encounters more than anything. It takes a lot of fan favorite elements and really runs with them.
