VGM: Fallout 3 Review

VGM:

"The main attraction of Fallout 3 is its single player campaign, and once it's over, it's over, meaning that a character can't continue after finishing the main quest. Of course, it's easy to load a saved game and keep going, and the replay value is certainly there, mainly for those looking for things that they missed the first time through rather than those wanting to experience them again. Even though the main quest can be finished in 10-15 hours, there's several times that amount's worth of content elsewhere, and that's where the real value lies. There is no multiplayer to be found here, and while the addition of Windows Live access so that PC users can track achievements like Xbox 360 players do is nice, it creates some technical problems of its own. Many players may simply avoid it altogether. The real (and perhaps only) benefit of Live access is the prospect of some minor patches as well as downloadable content for Xbox 360 and PC owners - something that PS3 owners likely won't receive.

Bethesda Softworks certainly had a tall order to fill with Fallout 3. Luckily for gamers, they were more than up to the challenge. The end result is a well-rounded title that finds a good middle ground between traditional role-playing and the modern action formula. Quite simply, anyone who is the least bit interested in the idea of an "intelligent" shooter or an action/RPG hybrid owes it to themselves to try this game."

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.

cloganart140d ago

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

walken7139d ago

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

Snookies12140d ago (Edited 140d 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.

Michiel1989140d 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_140d 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

jznrpg140d ago

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

Christopher140d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1140d 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??

Phoenix76212d ago

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

gigoran8212d 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

1nsomniac212d 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.

UltimateOwnage211d 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

ZeekQuattro399d 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.
