I played Fallout: New Vegas before Fallout 3, and my main criticism of New Vegas was how bad the gameplay felt. I don't usually nitpick graphics, but I do in gameplay. The AI was bad, the shooting mechanics were shabby, character movement felt clunky, and the game was incredibly buggy and crashed constantly. The second thing that bothered me was the voice acting, or more precisely, how many NPCs were voiced by the same few actors. So, playing Fallout 3 after finishing New Vegas a couple of times, I realized where most of the problems arise; New Vegas is basically a modded version of Fallout 3, but the worse quality problems in 3 made me detest it so much that I tried to finish the game as soon as I can, and never really bothered to play it again. However, after watching the video titled "I Turned Fallout New Vegas into a Classic Isometric RPG" by Lone Wastelander, I thought maybe I was quite harsh on 3D Fallout games, I decided to give 3 another chance. This time though I gave the game a real chance. I came to the conclusion that Fallout 3 has the ache of an universe transitioning from its isometric roots into 3D. The problems I said previously could've been easily fixed or be non existent if it was in style of first 2 Fallout games. However, Fallout 3 have some flaws that being an isometric game couldn't solve. To give credit where credit is due, I was surprised by how much content and how many side quests Fallout 3 actually features. From the vampires and Oasis, where they worship Harold and Bob from the classic games, to the cult elements in the DLC, the list goes on. Furthermore, even on my first playthrough, I highly appreciated how terrifying the ghouls, super mutants, and Vault you find the GECK actually looked. However, Fallout 3 suffers from a great premise but weak execution. In that sense, it’s almost the opposite of New Vegas; NV feels like some kind of a techno-futuristic western while 3 indeed feels like a true Fallout game at the start. What do I mean by that? Fallout 3 has a story that feels like a true Fallout story: a young man grows up in a Vault, only for his father to suddenly leave. He sets out to find him, discovers his father’s noble pursuit, witnesses his sacrifice, and eventually has to decide whether to honor it. Sounds pretty good, right? The problem is that the execution is incredibly poor. James’s reason for leaving the Vault is barely explained, and the earliest skill check in the game requires you to disarm a nuclear warhead, navigating the Metro is more than confusing, I'm not so sure if the Enclave's obedience to a computer is even justified (and it's quite unoriginal, a la Shi from Fallout 2), and convincing Autumn at the end makes even less sense. I could go on. By contrast, while New Vegas starts off vague and overwhelms you with DLC pop-ups, it ultimately picks up the slack through its progression, side characters and companions, which somethings that 3 doesn't have. In the end, I think Fallout 3 collapses under it's own weight. Despite this ,I'm giving it a positive review just for the sheer amount of content it has. I certainly wouldn't be this generous if I hadn't watched the said video earlier. 6/10
