Fallout 3 - can you run it?

you shouldn't trust those tests all too much, results may still vary. that said, I got maybe a third over minimum. usually meeting the minimum requirements doesn't allow you to play the game at decent performance though. it just means the game will start up and actually run without crashes. so the minimum requirements are more like a way to trick people who can't run the game into buying it, and then run out and buy all kinds of expensive hardware.

After playing Call of Duty 4 PC multiplayer online, I am starting to regret spending so much on a new computer. Community of COD4 PC isn't as strong as XBOX360s COD community, and xbox live automatic DL and automatic game finding is nice. On the PC no one talks, no one, and if they do you can not understand them. Xbox live you communicate people listen and plans are executed. And trash talking.

The upcoming problem I am going to have is with Left 4 Dead, I don't want to have to go find people to play with, and usually pc games don't have good buddy lists and with no communication I might as well play by myself.

On top of that, I am scared that Fallout 3 won't look much better than if I did play it on Xbox 360, though the mods will be nice, if they don't release the ability to mod I will then be really mad. But I don't have an HD tv and the recent videos look bad at 480 resolution so XBox would have looked worse anyway i guess. My computer was getting pretty old anyway, but it just doesn't seem that I will get as much use out of my computer that I thought I would.

Viper console me. And tell me what system to get Left 4 Dead on, eventually.

Thanks for link. Explain what I do here. Does this help a lot?
 
Awesome, I can RUN it! But my laptop barely passed so playing on the recommended settings will not be an option.

Gee wiz, just what I want to install on my computer.

Is there a tool to give me my dignity back after I realize I've been Daikatana-ed too?

Nope. Nothing can give you back your dignity. Daikatana is a permanent debuff on your IRL stats.

Wow. This is taking forever for my computer. Traffic on the internet sucks. It's probably gonna come back as FAIL though.
 
My 18 month old rig passes the reccomended, so I'm happy...

Just keep refreshing the page every 30 seconds. I let it run for 30 minutes and nothing happened, but then I started refreshing and it took about 10 seconds...
 
Unsurprisingly my computer can run it. Looks like it's recommended setup is slightly better than Oblivion's, which is to say that my video card fails. That all said, I couldn't run Oblivion on full bore without getting bad FPS so Fallout 3 is no better. Regardless, I don't give a damn since I don't plan on playing it.
 
BTW - don't really trust this test, many a times I got better/worse actual results after playing a game. Sometimes the test was very wrong indeed (Mass Effect and The Witcher).

It seems to be generous with my computer but I guess I don't know what recommended settings are.
 
Too bad that my computer dont run it. I'll have to order the ps3 version.

If you told me that I was going to play Fallout 3 in my Playstation 3 7 years ago, I'd tell you "HELL YEAH, I'll have a PS3 and fallout 3!", but now, actually, I'm not feeling that happy.
 
I refuse to send all my specs to some random sites. I can read, I know my hardware and possess teh mighty powers of comparing data.

:roll:
 
Hooray, my computer can display a bar moving across the screen! I knew it was worth all those weeks I went without proper nourishment or heat in order to afford building it.
