Is that longer than the Duke Nukem Forever development cycle?

No. Never ask that question, because the answer is always no.

Duke Nukem Forever was officially announced 11 and a half years ago tomorrow.

When I saw the title I thought that meant Duke Nukem Forever is out.

Change the title of the thread to 'Fallout 3' and let this be the official thread of awesomemania.

Fallout impressions after six hours: AMAZING... and I've yet to touch the main quest after leaving the vault. Or any quests, for that matter.

Yeah, the Fable 2 one was castrated and ended up being NOTHING good for $10 extra.

I'm going to get it for the PC unless someone can convince me otherwise to spend an extra $30 in the next two hours.

It's only $30 for the PC? That's a rip to console fans

It was $50 for the PC, $60 for the consoles, $70 for PC Collectors Edition, and $80 for console collectors edition.

Just picked up my copy of the collectors edition. My Bobble head is busted but nothing a little superglue won't fix (base fell off in transit it seems).

Seriously, Fallout 3 CE package design and what they gave is AMAZING. So glad I paid the extra money :)

So they built this game for a Console. And I got the PC version. The controls are very awkward and V.A.T.S. just adds 10 hours to the game. I'm in the process of going through all of the Megaton fetch quests right now. It seems to me that the main story sounds like it isn't going to be that long. Anyway, I know I've just scratched the surface of the game but damn I'm just not that impressed with the PC version. I thought the interfaces would be a little less tedious or somewhat close to what the original games were like (hence being able to barter with just about anyone, or being able to pillage weapons of their ammo). Maybe the second feature is there but I haven't figured it out and have been caught a lot of times having to scramble to reload.

They took out the Gifted Perk, which sucks also. I wanted my 10 AP!!!

The story so far, very interesting though.

The thing I had issues with last night on my 360 was how dark it was in Megaton at night. I was stumbling in the dark trying to figure out the town. The pip boy light is super weak.

I didn't want to adjust my gamma because the game looks so nice during the day and running around, and even out door areas are okay at night, just that town is hard to run around.
