So I woke up around 12:03 AM (I have an off sleep patttern) and got a hankering to play Fallout 3, and according to my PS3, I hadn't played it since 10/17/2010 IE 2 days before New Vegas. Holy hell now I know why New Vegas looks like its got better graphics, that green tint on F3 is THICK compared to New Vegas. :bonk:

Green tint can be "thick"?
I hope for red/screaming pink tint for the next game, Fallout: Pitt.

Well no, but I turned on Fallout 3, and I literally said aloud 'What the hell'? and checked my TVs settings to make sure it wasnt my screen, that green tint people in the PC community said they hated, now that F:NV is around and doesnt have it apart for around Searchlight, now I know what they meant O_o

Hmm, need to check it out. /afk

Never mind, just remembered I bought a new xbox so for me to check it out I'd have to play through the ENTIRE tutorial crap.
Honestly Bethesda, that was the worst piece of [censored] ever. <_<
NEVER force players to sit through a 20 minute tutorial.
Should always allow us to skip it if we want to.

I remember that green tint alright. Within one hour after installing the game and playing around with it, I went ahead and find a mod to remove that stupid green tint. Good ole Fellout.

Oh, and there are some orange tint in New Vegas; much more noticeable near the end of the game.

and why dont you have a save somewhere?

Honestly, I agree about the green haze in Fallout 3, that really annoyed me. It really didn't enhance the atmosphere of the game, it just made the whole thing look faker and uglier, but that's why I'm glad that the community made a mod to fix it (And yes, I consider removing that a fix, not a change. Maybe if you're going for stylized graphics, you can get get away with weird tints to the in-game lighting, but when you try to go for a realistic style with your graphic designs in the gam, as Fallout 3 did, I want normal colors, not weird coloration choices that mess up the whole look.) Of course, New Vegas has a bit of an orange look to it now, and I'm using a mod to change that, but even without such a mod, I'd still say that the orange tint looks better than the green of Fallout 3. Though probably this should be in the Fallout 3 forums rather than the New Vegas ones, since the point of it is to criticize the green tint of Fallout 3.



I have to agree with that, I'm fine with long, in game tutorials, as long as the option exists to skip them. I mean, sure, the parts in the vault do play an important part in setting up the main quest of the game, but that's something Bethesda could have taken into account BEFORE designing a tutorial that revolves around them, they could have instead made a tutorial that isn't vital to the plot. Besides, when I want to ship the tutorial it's generally when I play through the game again after my first playthrough, and by then, I'll already be familiar with what happens in the vault, besides, I don't see why they couldn't have just given you a message if you skip the tutorial summing up the events that you missed out on, and make it clear that it's recommended that player's go through the tutorial at least once in the game.

Of course, they did it in Oblivion too, so you think they'd have learned that players want to be able to skip the half hour long tutorial at the start of the game after that.



One shouldn't have to "skip" the tutorial by making a save before ending it, letting you skip the tutorial is an option the game should provide at the start.

Besides, since I usually end up installing a lot of mods when playing Bethesda games, and sometimes change the mods I'm using between playthroughs, I don't want to add or remove any major mods after starting a save for fear that it might cause problems, so I generally WANT to be able to start a new game instead of restarting from an old save but recreating my character when I get the chance.

This was one of the reasons why replaying both Oblivion and Fallout 3 was so tedious in my opinion. By time I finished the obligatory tutorial quest, I was so bored that I just put the disk away and played something else.

Well, I had been playing Fallout 3 for nearly 2 years, so either I noticed it and accepted it, or I just never noticed it. Either way, it's pretty bad.

And yeah I know, The Fort and Hoover Dam are bad about abusing color filters. Honestly, I don't find over use of color filters a great narration device, not even in Searchlights case.

I don't see why they used it at the Hoover Dam...it just doesn't quite fit. As for Legion territory, I can understand why they used the color filters and to me it feels more in place and natural. Ugh...Camp Searchlight...is just...blegh.

he/she said they wanted to play to check out the tint but bought a new xbox so they'd have to do the tutorial.

i asked why he/she doesnt have a save on a flash drive or something to copy to the new system


also i think F3 automatically makes a save for you.

Currently it's "she".

And my last xbox got a RROD after two long years so I never had any chance to copy an earlier save.
And when I bought my new xbox I bought Dead Space prior to New Vegas release which means I haven't had time to play New Vegas.
So no, sadly I don't have an earlier save to use. :[

What? I always thought you were a guy. :laugh:

"Currently?" O_o

As far as I know, it changes every couple of posts. Haven't found a pattern yet

May s/he is a super mutant......

I actually did not notice the green tint until I noticed the difference on installing Fellout for the darker nights, I did a double take and disabled the mod to see if my eyes were playing tricks, unbelievable difference, but it should be noted that Fellout improves visual quality for NV also.

Or maybe they're actually a couple using the same post account.

Or maybe I am just thinking too logically.

A trans-gendered super-mutant it is. /nod nod

Transgendered Ghoul.

That has cancer.

It does improve NV, just not as dramatically. The biggest adjustment with that mod is how dark the nights are. Pitch black in some places. Navigation through mountains and other terrain is treacherous (in a good way). I ended up adding another mod which dramatically increased my Pip-Boy light just so I could get around.

The color theme in Fallout 3 didn't bother me in the slightest and the yellow theme in New Vegas doesn't bother me either. For me, they both work. I've never implemented the mods that naturalize the colors (in either game) because in my personal taste, doing that removes some of the mood from the game.

I did the same thing but I'm on the PC, so about 1 min after stepping out of the vault i closed the game and got Fellout, and NMCs texture mod (all of you check NMC out if you havent even if your on the xbox!) now the game is much more playable, tho with the girlfriend off school this week it makes it hard to role play while shes in the room always looking of my shoulders :angry: i just wanna play through FO3 again b4 my 2nd NV play through!

I can't believe how fickle people on these forums can be. What is with all of the Fallout 3 hate all of a sudden? I remember a few months back it was a different story and everyone loved F3. It is okay to like both FNV and F3 you know.

I never loved Fallout 3. :mellow:
But I don't really know why a lot of people hate on FO3.
I'm a fan of the older games so for me to hate on FO3 is a given, but I really don't know why a lot of others "hate" it.

But I don't necessarily "hate" FO3 either.
I hate on certain aspects but all in all it was a good game. (Just not a good Fallout game)

Prerelease and post release communities are drastically different. One is usually hardcoe fans or people from a related forum. The other are people who played the game and wish to discuss it.
