From reading reviews looks like they brought nothing new to the table with Vegas and alot of freezes/glitches

Plus ppl saying its not working on the 4gb xbox slim

i think i just read a fucking spoiler about the ending in a review

unless i've misinterpreted what i've read, but it seemed pretty clear what the guy was trying to say

if anyone does know what happens in the ending, please confirm for me if this spoiler about the ending is true

the review is the one on gamepro.com


*SPOILER* (the bit i've made grey and underlined)

But despite my rushed and crammed experience, I can still say with confidence that the game is a worthwhile follow-up to Fallout 3, mostly because it doesn’t stray very far from the formula that that landmark title helped establish. The world is still expansive, with an overwhelming number of locations, characters, and items to respectively visit, talk to, and collect; the quests, for the most part, are interesting and rewarding; and the overarching storyline, the one whose shell I’ve just begun to break open, is compelling enough to justify the investment of time and energy needed to see it through to the end. Even if the climatic ending is bungled--it was all a dream!--the journey is satisfying enough to help mitigate any potential disappointment.

The only glitch I saw was an enemy walked into a rock and was stuck in there for a few seconds. I haven't had any freezes. Hopefully it stays that way.

Any sort of start off bonus for beating the third and having a save?

 

[pbarb666]

Reading the reviews makes me want to wait a few weeks for patches to drop. Glitchy games are hella frustrating.

 

[Bonekrusher408]

is that just for real life mode or all levels?

I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S BOTH.

I WAS READING SOMEWHERE THAT THERE ARE BOOKS AND MAGAZINES. BOOKS PERMANENTLY RAISE YOUR SKILL BY 3 POINTS, MAGAZINES ARE A TEMPORARY 10

Any sort of start off bonus for beating the third and having a save?

NO, UNLESS A PISTOL AND STRAIGHT RAZOR ARE THE BONUSES

 

[kingsix18]

Yeah Bonekrusher is right about the books and magazines. Magazines last for maybe 30 seconds and the books are permanent. And no start off bonus, but I did get the Caravan Pack from Walmart even though I didn't preorder the game. They also gave me a free deck of Fallout cards and a gift card. But I've been playing for about 5-6 hours so far and I've only seen that 1 glitch the entire game.

i was gonna hold off on getting this game for a while but now it looks like i might be picking up on friday

it's become even more appealing to me since i've learned there will be no more tedious underground ghoul infested railway sections to fight through

 

[pbarb666]

I loved the subway tunnels

 

[fillyacup]

so..i'm about to pop this bad boy in

 

[krazee d]

haha, damn i thought that was the real ending

The guy that wrote the review wrote this though

I had no idea my review would end up causing so much confusion, and for that, I apologize. As others have pointed out here, I have yet to beat the game. I am about 30 hours in and have decided to stop chasing the final endgame path to go explore the world and take on the numerous side quests. The mention of the "it's all a dream!" was meant as a humorous example of one of the illogical choices the devs could have made to bungle the ending; it in no way is meant to give away the ending. If anything, I tried very hard to avoid spoilers and talking about the plot in general, focusing more on the overall "experience" of playing.

Sorry for all the confusion, and in the future, I'll try and make sure my writing is more clear and concise.

@clamfisted I had to rush because the game was sent to us last Friday. The review embargo lifted on last night, so I made the mad decision to rush through. Lucky for me, I got to a good place with the game and decided I had enough to write down my thoughts.
