Perhaps because fallout 3 is a ps3 and 360 game?

It's not just that. All new games are at least $50. Regardless of console.

Did Bethesda released a patch that fix'd *most* crashes and bugs?
If my parents do buy me F3, i dont wanna spend the rest of my Christmas holidays with the game constantly crashing.
What i am most afraid is that my Geforce 8600 GT is "unstable", in every single game i play (even DOS games!) it runs smooth for a short time, then it lags, smooth, lags, smooth, lags...

I played through all of Fallout 3 with only 2 crashes and no noticeable bugs

Fallout 3 and Assassins Creed.

Which one requires a better graphics card? Because i've always wanted F3 and AC, but if one requires less RAM and GHz, ill get that one.

Fallout 3 will run easier, it's not a port.

Assassin's Creed, being a port, will require considerably higher specs.

Oh, and Fallout 3 will last longer.

I've talked to my parent's and they ARE going to buy me F3 (YAY ).
I can't wait to blow up Megaton .

Assassin's creed requires a better computer.

also ports look terrible on consoles why would they require better specs on computers

The explosion is the most epic thing you will ever see...

Also, I was a bit disappointed with Fo3, I would have much rather Interplay finish Van Buren than that damn console thing. The Bethesda team did good, but I miss the isometric view, and the child killing and the sex, and porn studio... I would really have just wanted Fallout 1 and 2 on the engine that Fallout Bos: Tactics used... So, Fallout 3 feels like fallout, but kinda wrong, but I did enjoy it all the way through and around. Although the level cap REALLY annoyed me.

What you mean by "Level Cap"?

And you played Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel too?

Fot! Yes absolutely. The level cap in Fo3 is 20... : ( But you get a perk EVERY level...

FoT I really enjoyed and just recently appled the awaken mod, seeing how that goes...

They could up the level to thirty if they made it so you still only get 20 perks...

Or keep the level cap at 50 and you only get a perk every 3 levels. Also What happened to traits? They should not have ♥♥♥♥ with the level and stat system. The game would have been more challenging, and more rewarding once you get to 50. Getting to level 20? I was there in two days, and I did it before GNR and Rivet City...

Hope i get it before 25th December.
That'll be the only game ill play for a really, long, long time.
It looks so epic, apart some bugs and stuff Bethesda SHOULDN'T HAVE MESSED UP WITH!?

FoT, i remember the days of crushing Super Mutants with tank... Good times!

EDIT: I have a NVIDIA Geforce 8600 GT, 3,40 GHz and 2,00 GB RAM. Does that meet the minimum or recommended requirements to play F3?

Well, I got it on console because my rig is not godly... But I think yours should do fine.

Mine is a laptop with the intel video chipset, a 1.80Ghz and 2 GB Ram, I am fairly sure due to my processor and card I could not run it. : (

Yay. After i blow up Megaton, im going to kill Mister Burke, take his clothes (gangsta' clothes ftw!) and be the NEW AND IMPROVED Mister Burke...

EDIT: I've used the "Can you RUN it?" test and i meet the MINIMUM requirements, my graphics card = 8600, recommended = 8800
