К сожалению, как я не старался, так и не смог запустить игру... Я расстроен. И, судя по комментариям в интернете, нас таких много. Если есть у кого советы, помимо того, что можно найти в сообществе или на оф.сайте разработчика, милости прошу.
not coming from a place of nostalgia when I say this, considering I don't have any nostalgia for this game, but I seriously don't get the hate this game gets. Mechanically New Vegas is superior, but I think I prefer the world and atmosphere of 3. A lot of people don't like the green filter but I think it really brings out the post-apocalyptic vibe the whole world has. It's a really tough decision for me as to if I like this game or NV more, but what I can say is that if you like that game, you'll probably like 3 too.
Kesinlikle kaçmaması gereken bir oyun...
i love this, qwerky npc.
Well it's too short i think, but we can say this is the first fallout from bethesda and they did a pretty good job, also it's so cheap if you want a quality time you can definetly buy it
Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition is a landmark open-world RPG that combines freedom, exploration, and player choice in a haunting post-apocalyptic setting. The Game of the Year Edition includes all major DLC expansions, making it the definitive way to experience the Capital Wasteland. World & Atmosphere The ruined remains of Washington D.C. feel eerie, lonely, and immersive. Every broken building and radioactive wasteland tells a story. Strong environmental storytelling Constant tension from radiation, mutants, and raiders A memorable, atmospheric soundtrack that reinforces isolation Gameplay The game blends first-person shooting with RPG mechanics through the V.A.T.S. system, which slows time and lets you target specific enemy body parts. V.A.T.S. adds tactical depth to combat Character builds feel meaningful (speech, hacking, combat styles) Exploration is highly rewarding with hidden locations and loot Story & Choices You begin searching for your father in a world shaped by moral ambiguity. Choices genuinely matter, affecting how factions and characters react to you. Branching moral decisions (good, evil, or neutral paths) Multiple ways to solve quests (combat, diplomacy, stealth) Player freedom is a major strength DLC Content (Game of the Year Edition) The included expansions significantly expand the experience: Operation: Anchorage – Military simulation focused on combat The Pitt – Dark moral choices in a harsh industrial settlement Broken Steel – Extends the main story and raises level cap Point Lookout – Swamp exploration with eerie mysteries Mothership Zeta – Sci-fi alien abduction storyline Criticisms Gunplay feels dated compared to modern shooters Some quests are repetitive Character animations and visuals show their age Final Verdict Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition remains a classic RPG experience defined by freedom, atmosphere, and meaningful choices. Despite aging mechanics, its world design and storytelling still hold up impressively. A must-play for fans of open-world RPGs—and one of the games that helped define the genre.
An ok reboot of the series even though the freedom you have as a player is limited and the ending is retarded its worth playing nevertheless it transfers the atmosphere and the environment perfectly from the originals and the story is kind of fun the dlcs are ok but it crashed in my system even more than new vegas
I gotta find my Dad!
I liked Fallout 3. but after thinking, I have some issues with it. Honestly, it is an entertaining game. The world is expansive and the story is interesting. It's questlines are many and extensive. And the game runs well on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The bleak and depressing wasteland is well executed. The big problem that I have with Fallout 3 is that it's trying too hard for what it is. It is too ambitious for the first third-person open world Fallout game. When you add the DLC into the equation, it tends to feel half-baked, where there's more and more than it actually needs to be a quality title. I see it like an otherwise 'good' album with too many tracks than is actually necessary, DLC added or not. Operation Anchorage is okay, but boring. Two themes I found in the DLC: They're kind of boring in that you walk around and shoot things, but the items you find are great for early-game troubles. The Pitt has a Mad Max-like premise, and could be the one I vouch for the most based on gameplay. Broken Steel is just the Brotherhood being up their own asses like usual, just like the Enclave they fight against. Point Lookout lends better to storytelling, but it plays like Left 4 Dead. By god, I hated Mothership Zeta. Just, why? This was the glitchiest, blandest, and most annoying part of a game I have probably ever played. Neat concept maybe, but was this needed in a Fallout game? That DLC feels like a video game that a person in The Sims would play. And I'm beating a dead horse, but it crashes A LOT. This is one of the buggiest video games I have sat through! When it glitches out, it's nothing fun either, it just stops. Putting 50 hours into a game when it crashes every 20 minutes is grueling. At the very least, Oblivion breaks in amusing ways. I also had several moments when quests would become stuck, for one reason or another. Frustrating.. I understand that many people regard it as a classic, and might prefer it to the later Fallout titles, but I don't feel the same. I would still recommend it to anyone that's a fan of this genre, if only to play all of the Fallout series. It has it's merits and good moments, but it's bloated without reason, with missing attention to quality in my opinion.
