I was leaning towards the 360 version because, even though I'd have to pay for it as opposed to sharing time with my roommate and his ps3, the x360 controller is just infinitely better than all controllers ever.

Thank God the truck never made it to Old Olney. That's the one place in the game I never explored, aside from the WH. Fuck those Deathclaws.

If you have done the replicated man quest getting both rewards or at least the A3-21 Plasma rifle it's possible to kill those nasty Deathclaws with a single head-shot with better crits perk. Probably with high sneak skills/stealth boy.

The Plasma looks sick also and easy to maintain as it barely gets damaged and you can repair it with simple plasma guns which are easy to get.

Edit:Also another reason to get the x360 version over the ps3 is obvious so far the expansion packs haven't been announced for the ps3 version or rather as far as I know. P.C version still have a huge advantage though, with some buggy quests you can reset it and try again. D:

One problem with V.A.T.S that I've had to wean myself of is that I can kill shit just as easy outside of it. Yesterday I had the sniper rifle and I was using Vats, and eventually just said fuck it and destroyed the 6 super mutants that were trying to kill me, whoops.

Three Dog is cool.

I find the sniper rifle useless. The scope looks ahead like 50ft and the range is barely better than the normal guns.

I was one shotting super mutants out of Vats with head shots so meh.

The Experimental MIRV is fucking bad ass!

It's quite useful, so long as you stay in Sneak mode, use the scope, and aim for the head. It's very situation-dependent, though. The Lincoln Repeater still beats it.

Sneak Attack Criticals FTW.

The Lincoln Repeater is bad ass. I sold all sniper/hunting rifles as soon as I found it and it was a great decision.

I went with the Hunting Rifle, Chinese Assault Rifle, Combat Shotgun (The Terrible Shotgun later) and later the Plasma Rifle during my first play-through.

I found that all were easy to repair as they were plentiful but the Hunting Rifle decreased in its usefulness later as the enemies got stronger.
