Aristes Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well, I don't have a 360, but I do have a kickass system. And, if it can't handle it, I'll just build a new one. I end up making one every year anyhow, but I'm hoping to skip this year if my new system is beastly enough to last longer. BTW: Great job, guys! You sold me! I'm downloading it on Steam right now.* If I don't like it, I won't blame you. If I like it, then of course I will sing your praises. *I know, I know, only Valve fanboys use Steam. However, I figured it would either be Steam or D2D. I've used D2D before for Blood Money and it worked well. I figure I already have a Steam account so I'll be making more of these online purchases. Got to test it sometime, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killian Kalthorne Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 PC requirements isn't that high. After all, it needs to be able to play on the XBox 360.

jaguars4ever Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 I would have got it on the PC...if my overclocked gfx didn't blow up. As it stands, the framerate on the 360 is pretty solid for what appears to be pretty much seamless outdoor terrain. I've only noticed one bug so far: After sitting down on chairs/stools/sofas or whatever, the 3rd person camera resets to the default 3rd person settings. So you'll have to readjust the camera depth if you're using the 3rd person view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaguars4ever Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I've only noticed one bug so far: After sitting down on chairs/stools/sofas or whatever, the 3rd person camera resets to the default 3rd person settings. So you'll have to readjust the camera depth if you're using the 3rd person view. I get that too, just move the mouse up and it's fixed Which is a little more annoying if you have to simultaneously hold down the left shoulder button while pushing up the right analog stick. Edit: The worst part was that it took me about half an hour to work that out. Edited October 29, 2008 by jaguars4ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my observations that is. How does it feel like Oblivion from observation, Dark Raven? By looking at the game play. Looking at the start up of your character, closely resembles Oblivion. The same dumbfounded looks of the npcs as you pass them by look the same as Oblivions. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

The same dumbfounded looks of the npcs as you pass them by look the same as Oblivions. From what I've read it's got pretty much universal praise and everyone seems to think that it's like Oblivion yes, but with all its major flaws fixed (apart from the less than stellar animation & models). So unless you just absolutely hate everything about Oblivion instead of just it's glaring flaws, you'll prob. like this game.

Gfted1 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hehe, I love agendas. After reading hundreds of posts over at Beth it really seems the game is a hit, even converting a lot of previous "haters" and hardcore Fallout players then you read a "review" that just cant wait to piss all over every aspect of the game. I dont know who "Vince" is supposed to be (tag says developer) but he just sounds like a mouth full of sour grapes. He wants to hate it so bad he cant help himself.
