So many kids at other sites are crying their eyes out because it's not an FPS like they thought it would be. Looks like too many people had no idea what Fallout 3 was really going to be.

Yeah. Entering a town or dungeon will lock the level so if it's too tough you can leave and deal with it later when your stronger.

It's just the random attackers when your traversing the wasteland that are a pain. I usually just run from them till they stop chasing. Unless of course they look like they'll have good loot, then they must die.

From pre-release interviews: Most areas have set levels which are hard-coded. A few areas have their level fixed when you wander into the zone the first time. A very few places scale to your level, but not many.

I don't think post nukes is an excuse to have a solid brown grey world. Stuff had color before the nukes, it can still have color after. Why not have interesting new radiated plants to create variety in some areas of the environment? It sounds like this will be one of those games that got all 10s when it came out that really didn't deserve it. What will it be when the blinders come off?

It's literally plug and play. The "Games for Windows" games actually assume you're using the 360 pad until you tell them otherwise.

But does it actually play well? I've just been told countless times that PC games, even when they support the 360 pad, are usually garbage in terms of control and whatnot compared to the keyboard/mouse setups. Is anyone here playing this with the controller?

[FirstBlood]

Um everyone playing it on the 360 is, and I imagine the controls are identical.

It sounds like they took Oblivion, fixed lots of the major problems, added a more interesting combat system and put it all in a rad post-apocalyptic world.

Complaining about a lack of radiated multicolor plants(!) is pushing it.

The 360 controller for some genres is complete garbage when compared to a keyboard and mouse. However, the 360 controller plays identically on the PC and 360.
