OMG Fallout sadness!!!! [EDIT]
garison | 9:10 AM on 10.29.2008 30 comments


What is missing from this setup?

After school yesterday, I decided to go to my local game store and see if they might have Fallout 3 in yet. (Which I knew they wouldn't, because it just came out, and I live in the middle of nowhere.) But much to my surprise, they had like 5 copies, PLUS a special edition lunchbox tin. Since I am a special edition ho, of course I spent the 90 dollars on the uber mega awesome special edition.

So I bring it home, open it up with shaking hands, and everything is awesome, the vault boy boble head, the art book, even the DVD is awesome. But then I wonder, where is the game in this thing? I look through the book, under the boble head plastic tray, and I even think that maybe the DVD is the game. So I look again. I can't help but think that I am missing something, but the fact is, IT'S NOT HERE!!!! So I call back The Source, and what do they say? "Come back tomorrow!" They expect me to go a whole day without playing this amazing game, that I have been looking forward to for what seems like forever????? I know it must just be an error that happened in the factory, but that doesn't change the fact that this is the saddest day of my LIFE. I want to cry. Has anything like this happened to any of you guys before?


EDIT

OK guys, I just got back from The Source, and they said that I can either wait for another special edition to come in, or just take a regular edition. So, I sucked it up, and I am going to wait until Friday (if im lucky) to play this game.

I watch the first hour or two at a friends house and I was thoroughly unimpressed. Maybe it gets better once you put more time into it. Liam Neeson was awesome though.

Seriously, your negatons are way out of line!

Do you really think that I care that you were unimpressed? You know, I could have also said that the game is unimpressive and boring, but that's nowhere near as fun.

Watch it people...Fallout fanboys are out in full force in the past few months and will be until the end of this year. They will be raging if it doesn't get GOTY awards across the board.

That isn't to say they are bad, but they are out there and ready to jump on anyone who says anything negative about the game.

That being said...to an outsider the game looks full-heartedly boring and not very interesting with some little issues here and there. The true test is playing it and getting engrossed in the environment if you can.

It's no L4D? It' awesome. L4D is going to be awesome too, but that's strictly a multiplayer game obviously.

Wow, that sucks man. How can that even happen? Someone must have actively taken the game out of the box (stolen).

L4D isn't only multiplayer. You can play it by your lonesome!

Let me just say, games are only as fun as you make them to be. Growing up with Commodore64 teaches you that, the hard way.

Outsider? What are you, a segregation bot?

Seriously, guy, lighten up. I'm sure people here are smart enough to demo/rent a game before they buy it.

Sorry I didn't but "outsider" in quotes like I did just there...I am talking about people who haven't or barely heard of Fallout and never played a game before and wondered what the hubbub was all about.

Hubbub? We're just playing games here.

I'm sorry to hear that man. Ignore the haters, the game is just as good as you think it is. Tomorrow will be a good day, I promise.

That does suck, but it is amusing at the same time. Just roll with it, yea it sucks, but what can you do?

@ Messer

Fuck off and quit being a troll. I never said the game wasn't good, I said I was unimpressed. I also couldn't give a shit what your opinion is, GTFO.

LoL, it's like what my parents did to me for christmas when I was 5 or 6, they gave me an NES box, but put clothes in it.

Thankfully they had stashed the NES in another box, but it was a tense 20 seconds I can tell you that.

Calm down, Messer. We're all entitled to our own opinions. Stop attacking people just because they didn't like Fallout 3. That's the opinion part.

Why did you pay $90 for the special edition when it's only $80?

1. I live in canada, so everthing is much more expensive, even our dollar is worth more now.

2. I live in a small town, with only one game store, so the feel they have the right to rape us for our money.

3. That's including taxes.
