GamerTM: Fallout 3 Review

GamerTM writes: "Who'd have thought that the end of civilization as we know it could be so much fun? Sure, there are hideous mutated freaks everywhere, towns have had to be rebuilt from whatever scraps remained but there sure is a hell of a lot to do, be it helping the world get back on its feet or levelling it anew as a kind of one-man war against society. It's your call. And with Bethesda continuing the trend of twisted humour and gritty violence that elevated previous Fallout games to cult status, you're all but guaranteed that your very own Fallout story will be both memorable and unique to you.

Like Oblivion before it, Fallout 3 is almost a 'choose your own adventure' game – while there is obviously a narrative backbone to the action, you're free to follow the storyline at your own pace, if at all. The world itself is teeming with places and things to discover, people to help out and work that needs doing, so forcing yourself to continue the main story quests can be tough sometimes, particularly when the rewards for side quests tend to be more appetizing than those for mere progression. Whether by design or mere fortune, this is lucky indeed for Fallout, since the main quest itself clocks in some way short of that of stablemate Oblivion. With so many potential endings based on your actions and attitude though, this makes repeated plays that much more viable – you'll be able to run simultaneous save games where you're attempting to do everything on one while starting over to let the story play out differently on another file."

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.

cloganart130d ago

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

walken7130d ago

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

Snookies12131d ago (Edited 131d 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.

Michiel1989130d 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_131d 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

jznrpg131d ago

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

Christopher130d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1130d 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??

Phoenix76203d ago

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

gigoran8202d 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

1nsomniac202d 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.

UltimateOwnage202d 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

ZeekQuattro390d 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.
