OXM: Fallout 3 Review (Scan)

"Our 40-ish hours of game time over four days at Bethesda's Maryland HQ went by on fast-forward. We often forgot to eat, and we begrudged bathroom breaks. Games this captivating don't come along often. Between its engrossing story, ginormous world, well-crafted RPG side, and white-knuckle FPS combat, Fallout 3 completely, utterly gives you your $60 worth."

+ A genuinely compelling story that you want to follow.
+ Massive, rich world that you'll explore for a loooong time.
+ Intense, challenging combat.
? Can someone make a real-life Pip-Boy? That'd kick some iPhone ass.

..And they were right about GTAIV

DeadIIIRed6427d ago

GTA IV was sh!t compared to the other GTAs. I'm not talking about graphics, but overall fun. Their decision to axe the military was ultra retarded and the game was a lot less interesting than San Andreas. They can still make the game somewhat realistic while keeping the fun of past GTAs.

morganfell6427d ago

Are they saying they have completely overhauled the AI? I have the Collector's Edition paid off but frankly I am having second thoughts because the videos show some of the dumbest AI in a game...ever. What kind of AI just stands there and takes round after round and doesn't bother to find cover? Talk about a damage sponge.

I hope they fixed it but I am going to have to see some evidence to stop me from dropping my preorder and a written score isn't enough considering GTAIV garnered a lot of 10s and it wasn't even close to the proverbial bag of chips and a 2 liter coke.

morganfell6427d ago

Go ahead and disagree. You are saying that you think idiot AI is lifelike...which is an interesting way to comment on your (low) level of intelligence.

Hello Fable 2 and Fallout 3... Goodbye life.

kewlkat0076427d ago

does not want to get Fable because of those reasons and this guy is a gamer...The Oblivion type gamer.. so that's saying a lot.

Stay away for those with Gfs..

Timesplitter146427d ago

I was in the LBP beta, it was incredible
I tried the Resistance 2 beta, it was incredible
I just bought Dead Space, it's incredible
I'll buy Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2, they'll probably be incredible

man... I need more vespene gas!

Sarcasm6427d ago

You mean you need to acquire more minerals.

Starcraft 2 would have drained my life to the PC if it wasn't for that whole 3 part trilogy crap.

MK_Red6427d ago

It's pretty much stay away for those with GFs, jobs and literally lives. I think I'm gonna lose all to F3.
LOL, I haven't even gotten my PS3. LBP, MGS4...

Minerals and resources are not the problem. It is time that not even might Kerrigan can help me with.

My avy only says half of it! :)

TheRealSpy6426d ago

and...WoW: WotLK comes out next month too. how many lives do you think will be lost to that? and i had just gotten mine back from the last expansion. now that game, plus this game, plus gears of war2, plus farcry 2.

Bob Dole6426d ago

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.

cloganart134d ago

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

walken7134d ago

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

Snookies12135d ago (Edited 135d 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.

Michiel1989134d 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_134d 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

jznrpg134d ago

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

Christopher134d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1134d 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??

Phoenix76206d ago

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

gigoran8206d 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

1nsomniac206d 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.

UltimateOwnage206d 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

ZeekQuattro394d 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.
