1UP: Fallout 3 Review

Review by Demian Linn:

"Fallout 3 begins with your character's literal birth and ends with...well, that's up to you. It might never end, should you opt to hit the (metaphorical) pause button on the role-playing game's main quest.

What happens in between, from your formative years in the shelter of Vault 101 and well beyond your eventual escape into the irradiated, postapocalyptic Wild West outside, evolves via a nice mix of guided narrative and player choice. Help a townsperson kick his drug habit and you'll earn good karma; feast on the corpses of your enemies in broad daylight, on the other hand, and people might think you're a little weird. How you deal with the challenges of the Capital Wasteland affects what nonplayer characters will fight by your side, where your early quest-hub town is, and also some details about the game's final chapter."

With such a long list of games I want and a limited amount of time and money, I keep hoping that some of these are going to flop. Then I can cross them off my list and actually spend some time with the games I've already bought. Great score, great game.

I don't know how you multiple console owners do it. I only own the PS3 and there is just too many great games this year. I couldn't imagine throwing Fable 2, Gears 2, etc. in to my list.

Man I have the PS3,360,PC,Wii,DS,and the PSP.My wallet is almost up.I'm buying this and three more games November including Mirrors Edge

InMyOpinion6414d ago

And that makes LBP a better post-apocalyptic RPG than Fallout 3? I'm not following your logic, if there is any.

MvmntInGrn6414d ago

Fallout 3 is getting too many "Bethesda Points" I think.

It really an 8.8 but since its a Bethesda game, 9.6!!!!!

Looks very "Oblivion with guns" to me.

thisguywithhair6414d ago

I say if it's not broken, don't fix it. Oblivion worked so they are staying with what worked, but they are making a new game by changing the setting and overall feel. Is that so bad?

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.

cloganart132d ago

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

walken7131d ago

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

Snookies12133d ago (Edited 133d 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.

Michiel1989132d 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_132d 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

jznrpg132d ago

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

Christopher132d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1132d 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??

Phoenix76204d ago

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

gigoran8204d 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

1nsomniac204d 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.

UltimateOwnage203d 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

ZeekQuattro392d 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.
