Fallout 3 is $5 on XBL today only. I know this game is highly acclaimed. HOWEVER I'm in the process of building a new PC. I'm not a huge graphics whore, so gaming wise this will more on the low/med budget build. Should I go ahead and get it now on 360 for $5 or wait and play it on PC?

And no master race BS. Serious answers only...looking at you bruce

for 5 bucks on xbl I'd buy it. if for nothing else the story alone was worth 5 bucks.

It's only $5. You shouldn't even be asking us.

I'm not one to buy a game twice. $5 is $5 bro. If the PC experience is exponentially better than the one on XBL, I'd prefer to wait

I hear people Bethesda isn't known for their stories but the only experience I really have is SKyrim, and I love it. I've tried FO3 once before and couldn't get in to but I think after playing a lot more I could dig it

It is better, graphically and because of mods, but it's also a lot more buggy. But it's still worth it on PC. If you can wait to play it, I'd hold out.

If by exponentially better you mean really buggy, then yes. The pc version is exponentially better.

Because of the bugs I would get it if you plan to play it now. If you like it that much you can get it cheap during a steam sale, mod it, and replay

OK, so I'm gathering it's very buggy on pc but not as much on xbox.

I highly doubt I play it anytime soon. I think for the $5 I'll pull the trigger.

Sic, what kind of mods are we talking? How do they improve the gaming experience?

Ugh...that sucks. I played Bioshock on 360 and loved the crap out of that game

I've never really messed with mods. That's just what everyone says

It's still buggy on console, just not as bad. Graphically, if you play it first on console, you'll be fine.

I will say that your money value might end up being better on steam because you could probably buy the game plus expansions pretty cheap.

That's usually a case of a really bad port.

Most of the internet seems to point towards Windows 7 incompatibility

I'm playing through infinite, and it's beautiful but really choppy.

No.

Just announce he's finally building a PC. I think he has said it no less than 100 times the past week in the PC thread but who can blame him? It's a huge thing to rise up from the depths of peasantville and join high gaming society.
