No Mutants Allowed Review: Fallout 3

Compared to the first two Fallout games, Fallout 3 is a pale imitation that may anger many fans of the original games. However, comparing Fallout 3 to similar games like Morrowind, Oblivion, Gothic, Two Worlds, Assassins Creed, etc presents a much more favourable reaction. I think that it's the best game Bethesda have produced since the Daggerfall days and that really says something about the game. The most important feature of the game is the promise of great things to come from Bethesda in the future, so let's get those monkeys out of the office and kick some ass. God knows, it's been long overdue.

Excellent review... Much more accurate than the 'game of the year' bull$hit written elsewhere.

Bethesda universe makes no sense. He's right Fallout 3 looks like a 'amusement park'. I'd say it sometimes looks like 'World of Falloutcraft', with people waiting at every corner of the wastelands.

The main quest is stupid and clearly the combat system is poor : vats makes things too easy, and the opponent can't even fight back properly, whatever your stats are, since you can chain your actions.

All in all, it looks like Oblivion with guns, with a karma system where everybody in the world knows instantly when you do something wrong... It can't be called a RPG with such 'feature'.

Still a nice game, but more like 75 or 80/100, and in no way the game of the year...

I have to disagree. This game is soooo vast and it all comes together so realistically. If you say V.A.T.S. makes the game easy, you didn't play it. You run out of points and you can't always rely on V.A.T.S. and it also isn't always accurate. Some enemies snipe, super mutants charge at you with overwhelming strength and you have to cripple limbs to slow them down, so you're claim that enemies can't fight back is also BOGUS. The game starts off a little slowly but by the time you reach Tranquility Lane you know you're witnessing a masterpiece in interactive entertainment. I'm about twenty hours in and the game is huge with so much to explore and do. Everything from the gameplay, graphics, sounds, music, controls, gunplay are all awesome. The save anywhere feature is also great especially when you pass a tough part of the game that had you stuck you can instantly save, perfect. The karma system that you say shouldn't be in an RPG is awesome and makes for good replay value. You can play the game as someone that helps people or who hurts people. Some guy needed water because he was dying, i tried to give him radiated water, he didn't want it. He said it makes him puke. I only had one bottle pf purified water so I blew his head off and put him out of his misery. Another guy in my party had heart problems and we couldn't continue on without him receiving proper medication. I had none so I blew him away also which made the others with me angry. GET THE POINT? So next time you say the game isn't excellent, try playing it for more than two hours noob.

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.
