That feel when people say they like/play 'Fallout'.

And they mean Fallout 3.

Heh, they muss think the game is called Fallout Cubed or something and is the original game. New Vegas was such a rip off by Obsidian.

I'm such a hipster when talking about the Fallout franchise.

My favorite ones are 1 and 3. I dont really see why Fallout 2 is better. And New Vegas is boring in my opinion.

I was killed by a rat when I played Fallout 1.

The third person/third person perspective is a real hotbed of thorns! I totally agree with the OP that this game would be better in third person......for me anyway. I usually steer well clear of FPP games because I cannot stand the way they move, look and feel. The way your character (you) seems about 2ft tall - either that or he has a gun poking out of his stomach. The way the character jumps like a big girl's blouse (little bunny hops) and you have no spatial awareness. I know it's about 'immersion' but I also know I am just playing a pointless game to pass time in my pointless life and unless I climb into my telly, full immersion is not really a viable option. That is until they bring out total immersion body sets where you strap yourself into a chair, plug yourself in Matrix style and are 'in' the game (release date 13/11/3035). For now I will have to make do with sitting on my sofa with a sticky joypad in my hand (it's sticky because I like to eat Maltesers when playing).

Basically for me FP view kills my gaming pig. I played Fallout 3 - Bugs of the Apocalypse and incredibly, the third person camera was so bad I had to switch to first! He seemed super tiny and had floaty feet and was all skew-whiff and appeared to walk on cushions of air. This was my first FPP gaming experience and I didn't get 'immersed' in the game nearly as much as I did when playing ME2 or Uncharted or Red Dead or Assassin's Creed. For those of you who think First Person Perspectives are the best thing since the invention of thumbs, then enjoy your gaming experience as much as you can and have as much fun as possible, but at least try and remember that people are not identical clones of each other and have different views and opinions and many of us would love to play this in TPP because it is our preferred gaming perspective, regardless of whether it is 'worse' or 'better' or 'right' or 'wrong'. It's just a matter of personal preferences. And to the developers - people are all different. Some like FPP, some prefer TPP, just like some prefer X-Box and some prefer PS3 (but nobody prefers the WII) so do us all a favour, put an end to the bickering and make it a choice but without sacrificing the experience i.e. 'Fallout Floaty Feet' or 'gun stomach'.

When a character runs over ammo to collect it without actually bending down to pick it up, I pretend that they have a special magnetic ammo sucker in their trouser leg so the ammo shoots up the leg and wends its way through to the player's gun via crotch and sleeve. That is so realistic I am surprised it's not more well known in the gaming world.
