Broken Fallout 3 Dojo: Fallout 3 Still Broken

kotaku.com writes: "Been sitting on this for a few days, just in case Bethesda managed to get their act together since Fahey's post, but the number of users affected and time that's passed is getting a little much. Seems Fallout 3 is still broken. It's broken on PS3, it's broken on 360, it's especially broken on PC. The console versions are still crashing and freezing and corrupting in various spots, while the PC version...well, where do we start.

OK, let's start with my copy."

FAILED w/ Fallout 3. The game released with huge hype only to be one of the most unstable and bug ridden POS this generation has seen on ALL platforms. Bethesda then has the balls to say they might patch it if they get enough complaints (paraphrasing). In any case they hosed this one bad and it will leave a mark on many gamers when it comes to buying any future releases from them. I have both the PS3 and PC version of the game and cannot even describe the frustration I have been going through.

Nineball21126380d ago

And I probably still will, but I guess I ought to wait until it's patched and/or they add trophies.

*sigh* This looks like such a good game too.

UnwanteDreamz6380d ago (Edited 6380d ago )

I have the PS3 version with over 30 hours logged in. I have seen some frame rate drop and a few places where you can get stuck but nothing at all that would make me think it was a POS. For the size of this game and the amount of freedom it gives you I feel this game can't be matched right now. It's a straight up 9 out of 10 for me. I put dead space down with only 3 acts left to complete when I got Fallout and I havent picked it up again. I'm just having too much fun.

rucky6380d ago

It's still does not affect my enjoyment playing the game. Seriously some people are too excited in nitpicking on little things but when it comes down to it, the real value of a game is the overall experience you had while playing it. It's an awesome game so don't get strung up on exaggerated news like this.

wallace10006380d ago

I also have 30+ hours of Fallout 3 gameplay on the 360 and it has only frozen once and that was on a load so no big deal and i have found 2 places that i can jump into and get stuck but i like to save lots so it was no big deal. This game is awesome, i have explored about 60% of the map and no major problems for me.

If review houses like IGN, Gamepro, etc... got some kind of monetary kick back or promised advertising dollars if they reviewed the game and scored it high. Not for nothing but if any reviewer played through this game they would have been frustrated to all hell and pointed it out in the review.

UnwanteDreamz6380d ago

I have not been frustrated once unless you count wandering too close to the city early on and getting my a$$ handed to me by super mutants.

I am sorry to hear you have had that many problems, cause this game is great. I was hoping people would have a good time with it.

wallace10006380d ago

Holy conspiracy theory batman. Everyone isn't having these problems and the game is fantastic. I have only played the game on the 360 though, i have no idea how the PS3 and PC versions are fairing for the masses.

Allowen6380d ago

I still don't have my copy of Fallout3 but I can say about the bad work that Bethesda did on the CD of Oblivion GoTY edition.
it is impossible to finish this game.

Oblivion GotY edition have many bugs like :

-When doing an occasional quick saving the game freezes and got to hard reset my PS3.
-Some quests are way too bugged that can't be completed like the "Cure for Vampirism"
-Some times a SAVE file stops to work, it gets tottally corrupted and also can happen to a quick out save file as well.
-Quite a few minor bugs in Shivering Isles expansion.

Ok, now where is a patch for this game ?? I also have the original blu ray disc Oblivion and I could play it many ,many times without much trobble but this other cd Oblivion goTY is way too much bugged.

COME ON BETHESDA FIX YOUR OBLIVION GOTY ASAP !!

Now with some major Fallout3 bugs + Oblivion GoTY s buggs people will not be confortable to buy future Bethesda's games.

I am starting to think that we can't trust Bethesda in terms of gettign support, unless you are playing a computer game because for that they give major priority to fix stuff.

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.

cloganart111d ago

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

walken7111d ago

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

Snookies12112d ago (Edited 112d 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.

Michiel1989112d 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_112d 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

jznrpg112d ago

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

Christopher111d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1112d 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??

Phoenix76184d ago

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

gigoran8183d 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

1nsomniac183d 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.

UltimateOwnage183d 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

ZeekQuattro371d 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.
