got all my PSN trophies on fallout 3 a couple days ago, little disappointed in the ending and suffering through mild fallout-withdrawal.

finished up ratchet and clank future: tools of destruction today, very fun game, not quite 'going commando' good, but a good first run for the PS3.

now i just need to decide if i'm going to concentrate my time on finishing gta4, oblivion or going through r+c on challenge mode.

I just beat it (for the 7th time), only this time on Professional. We cleared the game on pro in about 8 and a half hours.. Faster than what we did on normal mode.

Just going through again to get all the emblems and unlock everything else in the game, then off to the Mercenaries mode.

Heh, Fallout 3 is probably really mad at me for not playing in a while O:)

I have been playing Oblivion, assassins creed, burnout Paradise, heavenly sword, and Blazing angels.

I bought assassins creed, burnout, heavenly sword, and blazing angels for $45

I must say Oblivion is way better then fallout 3. a lot longer to.

there are certainly some things i like better in oblivion, but both of them have their strong points.

really, i cant wait to see what bethesda does with the elder scrolls V, after their experience with FO3. of course i'm seriously hoping they don't make stupid deals with microsoft for DLC again.

I'm playing my favorite LAN game, which is DOTA and Garena, which I can play DOTA online. I also play IGG games like Zu Online and Angels Online, one of the best games ever!

Bethesda is coming out with a new fallout game taking place in Las Vegas. It has nothing to do with fallout 3. Im doubting they are going to make any deals with exclusive DLC because if you check out there fallout 3 forums its riddled with people conplaining about the exclusive DLC.

There is also talk about it the DLC coming to PS3 when they come out with it on the disc like Oblivion did with the game of the year version.

Bethesda ...

yeah, aware of all of that. still speculation on the DLC though, but that is pretty much my hope. i'd probably even buy a second full price version of FO3 if it had all the DLC included.

Since beating Res.5 on Pro, I thought I'd show Fallout3 some love today.. Started a new record, blew up Megaton, going complete evil this time, no mercy for any one.

Once my buddy is done work today, he's brining over Gears of War 2 so we can destroy that game on insane mode.. I've already beaten it on hardcore my first time through.

as long as you're starting fresh, try the melee skill too DarkArt. it's really a blast, especially with an evil character. just stay stocked up on spiked knuckles.

The spiked-knuckles were my fave melee weapon the first time I played through. I'm choosing more different perks vs. ones I've already chosen too, so I'll check out the Melee for sure. :Shouting:

Man the Shivering Isles are awesome.

I have the game of the year edition so it came with it and the knights of the Nine.

I was very upset when I was doing the Knights of the nine quest and once I got the sign from the gods the game froze. I reloaded and wasn't able to reactivate the shrine but the quest was telling me that I have to.

That sucks mgsfan. The Knights of the Nine is probably my favorite quest line besides the Dark Brotherhood.
It reminded me of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Someone told me to just keep clicking it until the quest updates but it never works so I just moved on to the shivering isles. I haven't done the Dark Brotherhood quests. I don't even know how to enter the guild. Im pretty noob at the game. I got a letter to enter the thieves guild but I haven't yet.

For the Dark Bro'hood, you just gotta kill some innocent person. Then someone appears out of nowhere when you're sleeping and offers you to join the Dark Bro'hood.
The Shivering Isles was fun too, but I found I enjoyed the Knights of the Nine and Dark Bro'hood a lot more.
