  Fallout 3 is imaginative but is really tough and complicated at the same time

  Hi guys,

  I have not been in blogging lately and this is yet again a pictureless blog but anyways I after my busy schedule got time to play Fallout 3 and so far I really like the work that Bethesda has done to create a fiction to life. Th individual (NPC's) in the game are really interesting the situation the location and environment is great and also the fact that game gives you different opponents in the same place every time you replay i.e your enemies you encounter change from time like they themselves have their life and are not sitting at a place for you to come. And at the end grpahics are superb for a Open world game some places have low res texture but the game is not plauged with loading problems like Oblivion and is quite smooth and it really scales very well on PC than on consoles.

  But after spending near abt 7 hours into Fallout I feel its getting overly complicated every misson gets tough like hell you cant reach destintation so easily many times I had to refer gameguides so to succed in misson and thats what I am not liking DC is very well made but it really hard to roam even 5 minutes in the city plus you dont know the exact path and place to meet the person. Dead around corner in Fallout very well bought to life but its getting hard to digest. I think Fallout is for Hardcore gamers i.e you have to put lot of time to know the game. BUt anyways i like the game but I wont be playing it for a while. Now I am on RE5, this one has gorgeous graphics not as good as RE4 but still good enough to play.

  Comin to an end

  Firstly I was not very active and didnt post a blog for quite some time my exams where going on so I didnt had time. Well finally I have completed all my papers of Btech and now I am leaving for my job on 26th to a place just near Mumbai so I might not be around for say for a month I will get a new PC over there leaving the current one for my parents and my 360 I will give it to my brother I have bought another PS2 which is all mine.

  Yeah part of the reason for being inactive was my Pc, it was broken so I upgraded it. I bought a AMD athlon 4800+ (X2 series) with 2 GB Ram now I was going for 7800 GTX as GPU it was for 4600 Rs last time I checked its really cheap. But now hen I checked in Rashi perhiperals (the leading computer distributor of India) dropped the Geforce 7 seires and their slaes man was fooling me saying that 8400 Gs is near abt 2-3 time stronger than 7800 GTX and he said there is no reason to get a Geforce 7 thats really bad. I was settling for 8600 GT but its price is 6000Rs+ tax and I defintely know that its still not better than 7800 GTX when we get in DX 9. IMO it has bad value for money. I really dont know why Rashi dropped Geforce 7 series it was a good series and after price drop a lot of people were gonna purchase it. Know i have gone out of PC gaming once more. I mean how much can I play with my onboard 6150, and my laptop has 8600 but its being a laptop the performance is not very good.

  Now the good part is that the prices have come down, so did get the whole upgrade for only 8600 INR I swapped it for my old PC. But still the GPU part was frustrating searching the market and there were a lot of stupid dealer pushing crappy products to me.

  I have been through few games in my free time after exams I have been through DMC4, GTA4 and Mass Effect. Among them I have completed Mass Effect and it was really a great experience there were technical glitches and they were more in the end wer there were huge areas and a lot of enimies came by but still the game looked excellent and it was not that much frustrating but still even with glitches the game is great and I think the PC version will be better since Unreal Engine performs well on it and Bioware is also making improvements to the game. But in my view the game deserves something higher than 8.5 its easily 9 even after glitches. The best part of the game was the story line and I think it probalby has the best story in any of the 360 titles. It truly epic and second comes the graphics since they are really great, the frames issues is in the heavy fight sequences other than that the exploration part, a lot of which you will do is great it doesnt has frames issue even texture issues are less prominent there.

  Also I been through Dark Sector this game is really good. I was not expecting it too be this much entertaining it doesnt deserves 7.5 it should be 8.0 easily. The puzzles are said to be bad by gamepsot but they are really good. The puzzles of the game are much better than what i had in Tomb raider. They are not Half Life 2 quality but still they are good. The graphics in particular are awesome and by awesome I mean they are one of the best of the 360 you can keep this game as graphical showcase like Assassin, Gears, COD4 and DMC4. Textures are better than Bioshock and COD4. The games lacks aesthetics but it really comes near to its concept art. Yeah but Bioshock looks better than Dark Sector since the environment is same and Bioshocks world is full of beautiful things. But still Dark Sector looks great and runs hassle free. So far I have loved the game. The score is also great. The boss battles come without any message or anything but they really awesome. The down point is some wired cutscenes like you drop from some place and get to the next level of the game are making this game like a last gen game but they are few.

  Anyways I think the blog has been to long so I am cutting it out here.

  Some good options but more confusions ( non gaming blog)

  Hi,

  Today may GATE( Pre PG emtrance) results were announced my result was 87.54 percentile (not percent), which is a sort of good and bad I mean its good but its the point where you start missing IIT's and some good branches of major NIT's are left out. I already have a placement at Ispat stell (M.L. Mittal group firm) as an Engineer.

  So I am confused to go for job or get more qualified I can definetly get good seats in some NIT's which are still good but not like others I mentioned. So far I have quered a lot of people most of them saying me to go for higher studies saying that benifit will be in long run and others say you will start gaining money and experience from right now. I have decided to go for higher studies if it preferable yeah but promotion benifits are definetly there in long run. Lets hope for the best. IF anyone of you ( My Indian friends probably) have any ideas abt some good institute near you please tell me. My branch is Mechanical but I am free to take Mtech in any stream which is even a little relevant to my branch.

  Other than this there is one samll problem I have a girl in my college whom I talk a couple of times recetnly, she was a good student so i joined her in my orkut account now whenever I see her she looks to me like I am begining to like her though I am not adn by her looks she definetely has some intentions. She is in Girls Hostel and all the girls of Hostel are whispering behind me I have seen it many times and my friends too. She most of the time keeps looking at me in the class, I am getting annoyed by this. She had not addmitted anything so I cant say anything abt this to her instantly but this is looking bad to me.
