Action Trip: Fallout 3 Review

Action Trip writes: "Fallout fans have been waiting impatiently for a third installment in the famed RPG series for many years and now they'll get their chance to explore the surroundings of post-apocalyptic Washington D.C. To make one thing clear before we go any further, there's no denying Fallout 3 is, as many already observed, "Oblivion with guns." This became apparent after the first 15 minutes of gameplay and most gamers are surely going to experience strong Oblivion nostalgia.

Fallout 3 takes you across the huge environments of post-apocalyptic US in the year 2277. The journey starts off in a fallout shelter -- a.k.a. Vault 101 -- where our hero took his very first steps. The first few minutes of gameplay actually put you into the role of a 1-year-old child, just to introduce you to movement basics and the character of your father - voiced by actor Liam Neeson. One day daddy decides to leave Vault 101 and disappear without explanation. You soon find yourself chasing after him in the desolate wastelands of a rather grim version of Washington D.C."

HIGHS:
+Incredibly deep RPG experience that's equally appealing to action game enthusiasts
+Highly detailed and realistic-looking post-apocalyptic surroundings +Great music and sound effects;

LOWS:
-Enemy and friendly AI glitches
-Targeting behind cover is buggish
-The devs. toned down the epic feel somewhat

Why is it some reviews do not tally into the total?

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.
