Talkxbox: Fallout 3 Review

Talkxbox writes: "It's not an easy endeavor creating a sequel to one of the most beloved games in history. Despite this ponderous task Bethesda has decided to take a risk and develop a new Fallout game, appropriately named Fallout 3. Bethesda's take on post-apocalypse America may not please diehard fans of the series, but that doesn't mean that Fallout 3 is by any means a bad game. If you're expecting "another Fallout game" you'll be sadly disappointed. Bethesda has put together a fully realized world; as soon as you depart from Vault 101 and enter The Wasteland, you'll never want to leave.

Before you're born into the world, you should set your expectation accordingly. Fallout 3 is not a sequel to Fallout 2. Aside from a few scarce references and the inclusion of franchise classics such as the Brotherhood of Steel and Vault Boy, you'd have a hard time identifying this game from some other apocalypse simulator. The game would've been better off titled "Trashland" and didn't worry about rabid fans screaming blasphemy whenever arcane specifics were fiddled around with. As someone who played Fallout 2 for the first time four months ago, I didn't mind the fact that the game strayed so far away from its source material, but anyway:"

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.

cloganart135d ago

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

walken7135d ago

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

Snookies12136d ago (Edited 136d 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.

Michiel1989135d 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_135d 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

jznrpg135d ago

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

Christopher135d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1135d 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??

Phoenix76207d ago

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

gigoran8207d 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

1nsomniac207d 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.

UltimateOwnage207d 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

ZeekQuattro395d 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.
