Which sadly turned out to be false. Unless it sold out again in a matter of hours in the intervals between the times I have been checking. 
Yeah sorry about the dodgy rumours. However, tomorrow is the day!

Scared, Just like a little bh.
I was bricking it when I played FO3 for the first time. Never got much done at all as crouch walking everywhere and being afraid to enter metros really limits progression haha (the reputation of ghouls preceded them). Then my Xbox and all my games were stolen and the insurance replaced my 2nd hand disc (bought at GAME) for a brand new GOTY version of FO3. At which point I partook in one of the DLCs and used the incredibly overpowered kit it rewarded you with to wander the wastes with no worries whatsoever.h.FO4 I'm gonna refuse to look at the wiki. I wish I could go back to FO3 without the knowledge but without the fear as well.

What I did when the DLC pack was picked up in the bargain bucket. Think it was the Alaska mission got you the super duper power armour, incredible figures on that if memory served.FO4 I'm gonna refuse to look at the wiki.

I remember really enjoying FO3 for about an hour or so, until I left the sanctity of the vault and started exploring the wilderness, where I promptly got killed by a rogue rad scorpion. I tried again, and again, and again. I soon realised that this was a much more difficult game than just run and gun, and I loved it for that.
Of course, by the end I was a bad-ass mofo who took on anything and everything with ease, but man did I have to work hard to get there.

Stomping around in power armour and plasma rifles, you forget how tough it was with nowt but a pair of stolen trousers and a rusty shotgun that jammed half the time.
On my first two playthroughs of Fo3 I played normally (first playthrough was a 'good' person, the 2nd an 'evil' person).
On my third playthrough, though, I invented a new backstory where my character had been trained for her entire life in the vault as some kind of Spec-Ops warrior and (by the magic of the debug console) left Vault 101 fully tooled up with most skills, abilities and perks already set and with some decent weaponry and a set of Power Armour that James had stolen from the BoS when he entered Vault 101 and had been keeping in tip-top condition for when his daughter was old enough and well-trained enough to leave the Vault and kick some arse.
That was quite a fun playthrough.

I have been tempted to play FO3 GOTY again on the 360 but can I find a copy available for non stupid money?! NOPE Miffed I traded mine in when I bought my XBO - thinking that as there was no backwards compatibility I would probably never play it again - Yeah thanks for that Microsoft!

Are you sure FO3 is BC? I know it's only about 200 titles? Miffed I traded mine in when I bought my XBO - thinking that as there was no backwards compatibility I would probably never play it again - Yeah thanks for that Microsoft!Digitalize said:

I know there are mutterings of ME1/2/3 being rereleased on the XBO and I would happily pay a decent amount of bottle caps to play a facelifted FO3 on the XBO.

I've just reinstalled FO3.
Glad I also did a 3x DVD backup of it as well with all the mods & ENB files I had installed, just copied them onto the reinstall and away I go again from where I left it.
Oof that sounds like a good idea. Mods are fiddly sods (less so nowadays).Glad I also did a 3x DVD backup of it as well with all the mods & ENB files I had installed, just copied them onto the reinstall and away I go again from where I left it.
I`ve just started another play through on FO3 to get me back in the mood for Fallout. I kept my 360 after I got my PS4 so all my old saves and characters are all still there.
All in I have somewhere around 800 hours logged on this game. I can`t wait for 4.
In fact my PS4 is gathering dust until November as me and the Mrs are back playing FO3 on the 360. My daughter is fuming as I`d given her the 360 to play Minecraft on but I`ve sort of nicked it back now...

As I mentioned a few pages back during the Steam Sale, I'd really recommend the GotY edition (with all DLCs) over the standard edition. The 'Broken Steel' DLC is pretty much essential as the main story arc really needs it for closure (I feel the ending is premature and incomplete without it) and also to allow free play after it has finished (although for the PC version, there is a mod that allows free play without Broken Steel). And the 'Point Lookout' is worth playing too. The other two are a bit meh though.
I didnt go for the GOTY Gassing Station | Video Games | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
