- There’s no way an RPG is going to hold it’s own against Gears of War 2. Even though it was released a good couple weeks before GoW2, those who can only afford one game this Holiday season have their sites set on GoW2.
- Get in Line. If you haven’t already placed your request for Fallout 3 on Goozex then you’re going to be well over number 300. Plan on playing this sometime over the summer if you want to trade for it.
- A classic doomed for mediocrity. Given the past success of Oblivion, and that Metacritic is already giving this game a 93, this one is a future classic. However, it will still get lost during the Holiday season’s onslaught of games. Fallout 3 really deserved to be released in April after the Holiday games lost some of their shine.
- Fallout 3 is a game that deserves your full, undivided attention. You’re going to need to devote countless hours to this one. The Holiday feeding frenzy won’t allow that happen. What you are going to do? Play this game for two weeks, put it down for Gears, only to pick it back up three months later? You’d have to start all over from the beginning. It’s best just to wait and play it over the summer months.
- Last summer, the release of good games were far and few between. Fallout 3 would be considered a diamond shining alone if released in April. And it would receive the individual attention that it deserved.
Stumble On The Goozex Report!

As someone who's already spent 12 hours with Fallout 3 I completely agree.
And as someone who also owns a PS3, Fallout 3 is already begging for my attention after 2 days.
Gears 2, Fable 2, LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, all of these plus a dozen more are going to erode my time with the game.
They waited 10 years, couldn't they have waited 7 more months?
With all of the bugs that they have been reporting, more time in the cooker would have been a welcome advantage.
Good gods, I hate the time-warp we all live in when it comes to games. If the game is great, it'll still be great in 6 months. Or a year. Or more. I finally picked up Halo3 the other day and you know what? It's as good as it was when it came out? Release dates seem like an artificial construct devised by the game publishers to get us to buy buy buy. Ugh!
As for the game itself, I've heard it compared to Oblivion, and that game never really lived up to the hype, AFAIC. I may grab this one after it drops in price, or goes on high avail on GameFly.
This game is horrible.
Its exactly like oblivion only this time you have guns and the Vats system. They started production in 2004 and if you play it, your character can't even run properly, he/she just glides.
The graphics are overhyped too, the only power used is when you see how large the environment is.
My advice, don't buy it, rent it first, if you hated oblivion you will definitely hate this.
I can assure you that not everyone wants to play Gears Of War 2...
I put 140+ hrs into Oblivion and I cant wait to squeeze as much time out of this game as I can.
I do agree that it would have been better to release it later or sooner that it was due to a number of good titles coming out.
I have been working on finishing Dead Space just so I can play this Fallout but then Gears comes out next week and that will take more time away from Fallout.
I have considered not even opening my game when I pick it up today just to save it for when I have beat Gears single player and none of my friends are online to play multiplayer.
Why not buy just buy it and hold it seven months to play it, then you can have your own little summer release date or just wait to buy it. Problem solved.
They released FO 3 for the holiday season, typically games are released at the earliest attractive date after the games are marketable.
FO 3 is a great game compared to any other recently released game and has been long awaited.
