I just finished New Vegas and now I want to go back and play Fallout 3 (which I never got around to playing when it was new). I guess the question is, is the console version serviceable or do you need a bunch of mods to fix up the game like Oblivion? I'd rather play on my 360 but not if I'm missing out on a bunch by not having mods.

The only things you'll really find yourself wanting mods for is the functionality offered by New Vegas. Things like jury rigging, weapon mods, more craftable items, faction armor, etc. The game still runs fine on a console (I just finished an umpteenth playthrough a month or two ago) but you will quickly become frustrated by how much LESS (comparatively) you can do.

Alright thanks, I think I'm just gonna pick up the 360 goty version. I'll miss some of that stuff but mainly I'm interested in the story/lore because I'm all into the Fallout universe right now.

LittleBigPlanet 2

I just got a PS3 and downloaded this from PS+. What the heck is this weird game and what is all this poo poo I'm collecting? :psyduck:

-[Uncharted] 2 is so much better then 1 it's ridiculous, it improves on literally every aspect of the game. (not to say 1 is bad, of course)

I just played 1 and started 2 and honestly I would say 1 is a bad game. It is still probably worth going through because the story and characters are so fun but the shooting and traversal gameplay is real garbage and doesn't hold up. The shooting in particular is just a total drag every time it comes up and was something I just suffered through. I was relieved to start 2 and find that it really does feel much better in every way, to me it feels like there is a console generation gap between the two games.
