Its a 'new' game, however, i hear its like 75% recycled gfx from FO3.. i think it was supposed to be just an expansion pack, but as usual, the powers that be decided to turn it into a brand new game and charge full price. Just import it from the UK for about $40 or so, and don't give them a cent more than they deserve..

It's a new game like Vice City was a new game to GTA3. That is it's not Fallout4 but it's not an expansion pack for FO3 either. Don't give them the $90. Ozgameshop have it for $40 if you can stand the wait, which I expect you can.

Is it worth grabbing Arkham Asylum while it's on special? I played the demo and it wasn't that impressive, yet many people rave about the game. Help me out here?

Heh, that sounds pretty damned convincing at the moment... I think I'll be buying it tonight and not downloading it until after the HSC, lol.

Yeah good move. It is a lot of fun and quite addictive so you will want important things out the way first

Brilliant game however if you played the demo and didn't like it then I don't see you loving the full game. How did you like the combat or the stealth as there's a lot of that to be done.

Wait, why is New Vegas $89 on Steam but $49 on the US Steam store when the USD and the AUD are almost at parity?

gregpolk · 22nd October 2010, 5:08 PM

Because people will pay it, so they'll charge it. Same as MW2 and Borderlands. You can fairly easily get it off the US store if you wish, or have a friend/ocau member gift you a copy from the US store, or order a retail copy from an online store like ozgameshop for <$50.

Oh ok, cool. Well i'm still comtemplating on buying Fallout 3....wasnt much into the "rpg" scene but apparently its ok. Worth 50 buck for the game of the year edition or what?

AussieSausage · 22nd October 2010, 5:35 PM

fallout 3 is awsome to, and it works.

i usually hate RPG's, but i enjoy the fallout series, there is some awsome mods to. like a mini nuke launcher.

i use alot of "player.additem" codes in the console, only ammo ones though cause i like going on massive killing sprees with the extra gore mod.

i dont use codes that effect gameplay, as i still like dieing, collecting stuff ect ect

It's not that I didn't like the demo, just that it felt a little limited, as demos tend to do, lol. Might play it again tonight before I decide...

There weren't any boss battles - I think it's just from the start until you hit that giant troll thing and they cut it. It also looks great for the performance level it seems to maintain.
