Fallout 3

• Positives

All of it

None of it

Not my favorite in the series but its still fantastic

Fallout 3 is a game that set a high standard for Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4. Even though it may have been surpassed by the games following it, Fallout 3 is without a doubt a gem in a time where games like this weren't very common. This game has an incredible Karma system and an ending with actual weight. This is what the game excels in. You get to be whoever you want to be in this world, with the Karma system, you will lose Karma for dishonorable or evil actions and gain Karma for morally good actions. This paired with the factions and the ending make for a lot of replay value. A negative would be the actual gameplay. You are over reliant on VATS. This style of shooting is annoying at times and was improved in later games for good reason. Another issue for me is the lack of weapon customization on top of a durability system that feels cheap for a loot based game. Despite some problems, Fallout 3 lead to some incredible games on top of being incredible itself. This game is definitely worth going back to.

Fallout 3; what could I possibly say about this legend that hasn't already been said? Quite possibly the best rpg I've ever played. My god what a wonderful world Bethesda immerses you in. I used to play this game on and off as a kid but the disc I had was scratched so I was never able to get far before it'd freeze screen. Coming back to it years and years later, this is a top tier video game experience. Everything from the different locations you embark on, to the deadly and weird creatures you face, to the many quests and side quests, you could easily spend 100+ hours in a single play through and still have lots of things to do still. Spent about 300 hours in one profile, scouring every inch of this vast landscape, mostly killing your average rad scorpion or enclave troops, but when you found places to discover, finding loot and lore/mission based items such, it made it all worth it in the end. Making a certain person jealous to the point where you drive them to murder is just some of the hidden things you can do in this ginormous game. The vats system really makes this game especially cool and unique too imo. This game alone truly proves Bethesda is possibly the best rpg developers EVER.

This has to be one of my favorite games on the XBOX 360. Plenty of quests, characters and most importantly, you decide you fate. That was a very creative idea.

PS: I beat the game as Very Good. If anyone cares.

Good game! This was my first experience with the fallout franchise so for that reason it will always hold a place in my heart. It's definitely it the best entry but it's a great game nonetheless, even if the story is a little linear
