i mean this is one of the biggest releases this year !


Who knows, I've seen a handful of reviews of other games in the past that stated the review build still had a couple bugs but was pretty much a complete version of the game. Can't remember any specific titles off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure there were some like that.

I'm gonna wait off until someone can confirm, I liked Oblivion enough to buy the collectors edition so I may well just wait and do the same with Fallout 3 Smile

Sending out a late beta version is very common in review land. I wouldn't take teh risk of starting over with an RPG. I'll try it though.

Infact they wouldn't really be able to send a finished game, reviewers get the games before it's finished, usually because the gold date is that close to a release date that it's actually impossible to have reviews ready before release.

Infact if the review copy was finished it would be less than a day old (The game went gold yesterday)

Seedforme did kind of the same thing with Saints Row 2 did they not..?

I like many people on the board are wondering, is there anything missing or is there anything that was added to the final stages of Production for Fallout 3. I don't think anything would be left out from the final product since they want it reviewed.

isn't the main difference between review copies and retail versions that the review copy might not be polished as much? so possible framerate issues here and there and maybe a bug that you might run across and that's about it?

Don't know.

I don't know much about "review" copies.
It says in the nfo "color=yellow RETAIL]"

This reminds me of the release of Jedi Academy. There was a version that came out early and it was missing things like sound & parts of level textures. I believe it was also missing some checkpoints. They later released a "retail" copy.

So anyone playing the game notice anything missing or incomplete...? Some things might not be noticable until later in the game. How many gaming hours was this game suppose to take to finish...?

haven't noticed framerate thingies in SR2 either BUT the game locked up on my couple of times, i was already fearing for the health of my xbox ^^
and even if something should be missing it's still enough to give me an idea if it's worth buying, so *shrug* i don't give too much

If you want to play it right away, just leech the fucker.
If you absolutely, positively wanna play teh real deal, just wait the retail release FFS!
There's no point bitching about what's missing or not, what's polished or not, since nobody is able to compare shit 'til the release date! Not saying that by that time, this cock-sucking-review-copy will be RIP!
Those of you who are playing the fucker, please share your experience.
Those of you who are whining, please fucking keep it to yourself!!! Evil or Very Mad

This is a scene release site, so I think we're allowed to discuss details about the release.

Sure but i think he has a point, just play the fucker and lets share some experiences. Discussing about things you dont know is a bit pointless, but by all means, continue.

Agreed.
It's just that I'd like to hear more about the gameplay itself.

Remember that your X360 isn't fully cracked. It only plays copies of games that are signed as retail by microsoft.
If this was a review-beta, I guess that it would run on review/debug kits only. I don't know it for sure though, just an idea.

Has anyone gotten his Megaton / Tenpenny Towers apartment yet? I got the Megaton one, and when I go to the butler hair robot for a hair cut, I can't see my character's face at all (which obviously makes choosing a new style a bit difficult).

Yeah hope not, but that nasty thought came to mind immediately.. I think I loaded a save and it happened again, will check now to make sure. If anyone has the apt. yet (either Megaton or Towers), please try the butler robot.

I don't care either... im pretty sure ms will ban my ass regardless of what I play online. Just playing games before the retail date could probably get you banned. I don't think ms keep track of it, but I think they know who plays copied games and who doesn't. I guess they got some sort of automatic banning system called "Teh banhammer 2005-2008©"
