"Okay, i just bought Dues Ex GotY online . Wont get it for a few days though."
Good choice
As far as a replacement for Fallout 3 is concerned...Im afraid that no one will manage to really create a new "Fallout".
To tell you the truth Im also not sold on either Shadov Vault or Phase:Exodus or Metalheart or The Fall.
All of these titles seem to have one or less obvious flaws.
And if Bethseda will make a better Fallout just because they happen to have the lince is also very questionable for a number of reasons.
Maybe I can interest you in some little bits of information I picked up about Metalheart and Phase:Exodus.
Metallheart
-There is no character generation. Sorry
„– all that standart RPG stuffâ€
-cause we have about 600 implants
-For this case we have additional quests, made by quest generator. These quests are less sophisticated, more straightforward (it’s obvious), but the variety is impressive.
“so we don’t hesitate to say that the game in a whole is not ‘brilliantly original title’ and the crap like thatâ€
-“We aim at about 70 hours of gameplayâ€
-“You have complete control over them†(Party Members).
-“Q: Can you start a fight with anything at any time? a la FO1/2?
A: Yes. With some restrictions, of course, but in general, yes.â€
-“a mutant full of useful implants is in the end not very different from a cyborg.â€
-“In general, there are 800 different items/weapons and implants in the gameâ€
-“A week ago, I crossed all the levels in god mode. It took about 8 hours to run throughâ€
Phase:Exodus
-any ways to interact with the gameworld; e.g. entering houses through windows, many kinds of "quiet killing", constructing weapons and equipment, many tactical solutions, hard social interaction, etc.
-more than 150 kinds of weapons.
- Exodus world, there are four characters. The player is able to choose one in the beginning of the game
- In most cases, there is another possible decision; you can, instead of killing somebody for some item, steal it, make it yourself, or buy it.
