How I learned to love Fallout 3 (sort of)

PSU writes:

With Fallout 4 hitting PS4, PC, and Xbox One next week, Neil Bolt looks back at the game that he tried--and almost failed---to love three times over: Fallout 3.

The way the game is designed, in that basically you wonder off into that world and experience your own adventures, is probably also the reason why someone will have a different opinion on the game than someone who took a different path and experienced different things, made other choices, etc etc.

I didn't play a lot of it, but I did like what I played, and just 1 of the side-missions where you wandered into a small war between 2 groups and you went back and forth hearing both sides, and just negotiating and stuff, that was very memorable. Especially when there was a peaceful outcome to it where you felt you achieved something through dialogue, and it was somehow more satisfying than just shooting everyone up.

Basically, every time you wandered off into the wasteland, you didn't know what to expect and you could just walk into in sewer or a supermarket and experience a great interesting adventure, with always that sense of danger of coming across something too powerful to deal with...

Some people will hate that kind of 'freedom' and exploration and finding your own way and adventures, and will prefer more linear experiences, like Uncharted or Tomb Raider or whatever, but I really enjoyed it.

Well said.

I loved just wandering into the unknown and never knowing what to excpect from any situation and just making my own stories along the way. It was always awesome stumbling onto a vault and trying to piece together what happened there.

I've got the digital preordered and the countdown is tormenting me! I rarely buy digitally, only if it's a game I know I can still pick up and play and enjoy years down the road. Fallout have always been like that for me.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart140d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7140d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989141d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_141d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg141d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher140d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1141d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76213d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran8212d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac212d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage212d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro400d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
