Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

pure unadulterated dogsheisse

First off I would like to state that I enjoyed Fallout 3, with about 60 hours under my belt although you can't find an exact number with it being set to the launcher and not the application. With everyone comparing this game directly to New Vegas I think that most come with a sense of bias, completely overlook Fallout 3 as a stand alone and just assign it a label of "not as good" in a direct comparison. I think that Fallout 3 as a stand alone title is good, although it suffers from a lack of focus. Splitting between showing cool locations and the narrative depth of the characters. I think they did well with the sense of spectacle and enjoyment from exploring the Capital Wasteland. Its an interest interconnected environment which captures the DC and the surrounding area well. It entices a sense of "wow look at this" when I see the National Mall turned into sprawling trench system and the area just surrounding it having a well connected and interactable locations. My eyes are glued to my screen looking at what they cooked up elsewhere. I do think though that there aren't many interesting NPC's and places that go, that are beyond a simple interaction and an associated quest. I found myself thinking that's it? Not having any emotional connection when I ravaged the place with my missile launcher. There are exceptions notable Tenpenny tower and the quests associated with it left with internal dialogue asking myself do I sack the place or do I let the ghouls in. Ultimately the quest falls to either kill one side or kill the other side as letting the ghouls live near or letting them destroy the place leads to the same ending of everyone being dead. It was a simply good or bad ending which wasn't nearly as interesting as I hoped with the only twist being that everyone dies no matter what if you let the ghouls in or near. Although this game suffers the same fate as New Vegas is that its a playability mess and the bugs was a major downside. Along with the bland gameplay and clunky controls makes the combat feel more of a chores, rather something I enjoy interacting with. The small fast moving enemies or enemies with way too much health make me dread enemy encounters. With only VATS making the combat acceptable and interesting watching the enemy head get blown away with .44 magnum. I think that both New Vegas and 3 are in need of a remake. Moving away from the god forsaken Gamebryo engine to something more modern and equipped to work with modern hardware. To be honest anything that doesn't run at 15 FPS and doesn't crash so often making me save out of fear, or lockout my game from a bug. TLDR - Fallout 3 greatly achieves on player spectacle and the vast open world and interesting settings, but falls flat on un interesting characters and linear story telling and the removal of player options aside from good and evil. I personally would recommend it, if you want an interesting environment to explore giving you at least a good 50 hours of gameplay.

I love this game, no matter how green it is.
