Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

[Ranger REG]

Hey, sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask this but will my socket 939 PC run this game decently? I have read so many conflicting things about what system specs work or don't work I'd like to hear directly from people who actually play the game. Here's my hardware (again, this is a socket 939):

Athlon 3800+ dual core (2.0 GHz)
XP Pro w/SP2
2 Gigs of OCZ Platinum PC3200 RAM
7200 SATA hardrive
9600GT 512 mb DDR3 video card

* My LCD maximum resolution is 128-x1024 which is where I like it anyway

Thanks for the help.

You could test your system: Can You Run It? Powered by System Requirements Lab

Click "Can You Run It?" Select the game you want to play on your PC.

This utility is awesome. I never purchase a game now before I run this on my system to see if I can run it.

I like that it shows you how you stack up against the minimum AND recommended system requirements.

Just beat it. The only thing I regret is not getting Agatha her violin. Oh, and the fact that I beat it. Unpleasant ending. But at least now I won't feel compelled to sit in front of the TV for 6 hours at a time roaming that wonderful little world.

Loved the game. Disliked the ending.

But don't trade it away just yet. Downloadable content is coming that will extend the game past the final quest, and bump the level cap up.

Hurrah!

Is the extra content still non-PS3. I can't believe they'd cut off 1/3rd of the gamers like that.

Certainly think it's one of the best games ever made, the music did enhance it's, oh, piquante flavour, lol!

That's assuming equal distribution. That's like saying not making a Mac & Linux port of a game cuts of 2/3rds of non-console gamers.

I don't know the percentages, but I would be a little surprised if they were equal. Doubt they are as bad as the Mac/Linux/PC mix, though.

I'm pretty sure it's more down to MS's willingness to back up truckloads of money to the developers than any % calculations.

Tell me about it. It still irks me. I keep reading forums wandering if they changed their mind. Trying t osee if there was some quest i missed. I don't know how i got the red headed step child of the video game industry.

You will probably see it on the PS3 eventually. It's just going to be a year later or something like that.

Given that the primary program is done for the PS3 + near zero distribution cost + no game store middleman, means that the DLC is going to be essentially free money. So you will see it, you'll just have to wait for the exclusivity period MS bribed them for, to expire.
