maybe. i really enjoyed loving around in fc3 and opening towers etc before actually proceeding with the story so i am hoping this will produce the same chill. it's also only $23 cad now so doesn't have do to much to be worth the price of admission

fc4 is just like fc3 except they give you a wingsuit right after the prologue and gyrocopters to reign death from above with a grenade pistol

you can even fly a gyrocopter on top of a tower if you have a steady enough hand

games like the far cry games (after the first one) or just cause that take place in 3rd world countries are a pretty good version of that kind of fun but the thing that interests me the most about them is that they seem to reflect cultural anxieties about how the west has been unable to fix the problems created by their own imperialism through violence in the name of good.


ultimately they usually seem to resolve to either "save yourself" or "turns out violence in the name of good is great!"

They exist, but you'll never see them. For example, how many of those "borderline pedophile" Skyrim modders do you suppose keep "full-on pedophile" versions for themselves?

counterpoint: as someone who played through fo3 goty i don't really remember anything great about the pitt other than the basic moral choice. it just seemed like a vaguely urban setting that was called pittsburgh, to me, a person who has never been to pittsburgh

if you really love infinity engine games, go with new vegas

if you are into these games for the thrill of exploration go with fallout 3

both are pretty dated feeling and looking at this point though, so brace for that

i mean it's not very pittsburgh-like, but they do a really good job of selling the concept of a former steel city reduced to slaves and slavers, where anybody who spends too long there degenerates into a horrific monster from the pollution in the air

the story is bad, but i think it's by far the most atmospheric of any of fallout 3's locations other than maybe the dunwich building

yeah pretty much the only pittsburgh things about it are the old steel industry, the 10th street bridge, and the cathedral of learning. being fallout though they kinda had to base it on a real-world city
