    I am kind of torn between getting this or Far Cry.

    But I kind of feel obligated to get Fallout.

    But Far Cry looks sooooo damn goood.

    Far Cry is good, but Fallout will probably be better.

    don't get far cry

    seriously

    been watching a friend play it and we both started off "hey this has some pretty cool shit" but after watching him for maybe one-fifth of the time he's been playing I already am tired of the goddamn repetition and he said he didn't have the will to pick it up today

    Yeah I'm watching Fallout 3 trailers and I'm gonna play some original Fallout games later on to solidify it.

    EDIT: Plus also I guess Rachel would like Fallout better.

    I totally agree.

    Farcry 1 - with the different ways to go about the same mission = awesome. The non-linear aspect was cool.

    Farcry 2 - boring. So much transit time and wandering from one place to another, with only pretty crappy enemies in between points. Really didn't grab me at all.

    I bet you didn't pay for either of them anyway.

    Far Cry 2 is good fun, but it's hard and yeah, the transit time sucks. But the combat is pretty fun.

    Far Cry 2 is absolutely fantastic and kind of like Stalker only in a much bigger world while remaining far more simplified. You basically just drive from place to place killing people or blowing up things or grabbing things, but how you do each of those can vary- snipe from a distance, go in like rambo, go in stealthily and run out, or whatever else you can think of. It's a lot better than Far Cry 1 I think but the setting does get kind of boring looking after a while, but it certaintly pulls you into it's atmosphere. I love driving around because it just makes the game feel more like real life.

    man I wish my GF wanted to play games/watch games at all.

    Mines becoming all anti-video games to the point that I see her asking me to get rid of my 360 or something.

    She was never big on video games beyond like, Ms Pac Man and Tetris.

    And then I introduced her to lots of new movies and shows and shit.

    And I think what did it was that we watched the Dead Space animated shorts and comics and all that jazz.

    So now she's into the video game vibe.

    Dead Space and RE4.

    Horror is good for the ladies.

    Also, Leon is kinda cute so you know whatever...

    Picked up one of them Fallout/F2/Tactics things because I have not played any of them previously.

    Tried to play 2, whooo, font error, won't launch. Hopefully reinstalling fixes it.

    Also are there patches that contain important fixes, or am I good to go as is?

    Oh man that's kind of bad.

    Doesn't Fallout 3 have an autosave featurette?

    Also have you fought any post-apocalyptic mudcrabs?

    i'm sure it would have autosaved during that hour or so had i been going where they told me to
    i instead ran around the countryside killing bitches until i took a walk off an edge during a battle that i probably would have lost anyway
