Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

Not that much of a wowing game but good enough for what it is. I found the RPG elements of the game to be somewhat lackluster especially when it comes to the choices you can make in the game. I never feel like I have many different options in regards to the paths I want to take. This is especially present within the main storyline that for the most part only present two main paths regarding good and bad which feels very one dimensional. Also the storyline could have used some more depth narratively. Most of the time the characters surrounding me were pretty boring and surface level which made it hard for me to even develop an emotional bond with them. Idk the world is visually pretty impressive and is one of the better open worlds in the franchise but the lack of diverse choices kinda kills the momentum for me. 7.5/10.

always gonna be one of my favorite games ever man i always play this game on multiple platforms

An absolute classic game, among the likes of Final Fantasy 7 and Super Mario, if you ask me. The absolute perfect entry into the franchise, even though it being Fallout 3, not 1 or 2. An impeccable story, amazing gameplay, and enough content to sink hundreds of hours into. It's also a game that my 16 hours on Steam doesn't fully represent, since I played it on Xbox back in the day when it first came out, again on Series X, and a third time here now on Steam. A title that every RPG enthusiast should have in their library, because it's maybe the best game to come from the 2000s, in my opinion. Nearly 20 years later and the game has aged gracefully.

You know, its falloot 3

I love the other games of the franchise, but this piece of ♥♥♥♥ was not fun. Forced myself to play through the main story and quit as abruptly as it ended. The ending was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid because my companion could resist radiation, but "You have to write your own story" ♥♥♥♥ YOU Fawkes you useless stupid supermutant piece of ♥♥♥♥ filth, I should have done what the president of the enclave asked of me just to kill that selfish ♥♥♥♥. Will not be touching this game even with a stick covered in ♥♥♥♥ because the stick is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ enough.

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.
