I just might have to buy this game. It's been gettin so many good reviews and I love RPG's, I'm not sure why I've waited so long.....good timing now I guess, considering tgat the patch was just released.

I heard the main story is about 8 hours.....are the side quests fun and worth doing?

@OP yeah it's a great game. So are Fallout 1 & 2 if you can get over the way dated graphics.

You will enjoy it Leo, I have over 110 hours into it. I got it on day one and with less than 2 hours play time a day mostly after work. I havent finished it, i am done with most of the quests and still has a lot to offer. The world is huge and still i havent been everywhere. lol

I will finish it sometime soon, but LBP took my time.

PS. I had problems with the PS3 version mostly with freezing of the game, in my 110 hours it happent 5-6 times.

 Is that with or without the patch?

yes without the patch

I also havent explore other cities as well like oasis, big town, fort constantine and i played over 90+ hours on my 1st playthrough.

If you ever go to Belgium (Antwerp) then you have the possibility to meet someone.  I find them both amazing both have things I prefer or dislike but overall both are great.

Other than a few exceptions, I really find this to be true. At first, I thought Fallout 3 was better than Oblivion in every single way. But after a good number of hours, I found that the game wasn't all that "amazing" and "outstanding."

After about 40 hours, it gets boring. Having done most if not all the sidequests at this point, what is there left to do? Once you reach level 20, you can't gain any experience or abilities, which is honestly depressing. There isn't enough of a reward to go out and explore anymore because you never get to see the outcomes of what you did, nor do you gain experience.

The ending to Fallout 3 is absolute garbage. Utter trash. Ugh, it blows my mind how bad the ending really is. Multiple endings? They're all pretty much the same thing. Just a damn narration.

Before that, however, the ending sequences blow. All you do is follow a damn robot to your destination. You do nothing besides following and looking at the robot do cool things. Why can't I shoot down enemies, planes, and vehicles with the damn robot myself?

Great game, one of the best of the year, but I find Oblivion better. I popped in Oblivion not too long ago after finishing up Fallout 3, and I was surprised at how much I liked it more than Fallout 3.

 Yeah the side quests are fun.  Are they worth it...Well that is an other case their are side quest where you get new weapons/armor and their are side quests who just don't reward you except for XP then.  But that never really bothered me considering I love to do them.

Squilliam said: Its my personal GOTY. Fallout 3 -> LBP -> Mercenaries 2! (Ya I know)

EH!
