I LOVED Fallout 3, cant wait for Fallout 4 next gen, just thinkin about it is giving me goosebumps

moegooner884364d ago

Do you recommend getting it on PS3, n normal or GOTY edition, i loved FONV normal edition was fine with occasional freezes, then got the GOTY edition which kept freezing every 20 mins or so

vil3114364d ago

PC because mods and easy bug fixing.

Laxman4364d ago

I would say there might be an issue with your actual machine, as the coding with FONV would be exactly the same in both Normal and GOTY editions. But a lot of people do report these kids of bugs with the game, so you're likely just getting unlucky (I never had a single issue or glitch while playing).

I would recomment getting the GOTY edition of Fallout 3. The expansions are great, and there were a load of good patches that fixed most of the issues people found. If you enjoyed NV, Fallout 3 wont disappoint :)

@vil

Do you REALLY think he has a gaming PC if he's even asking about the ps3 version?

Use some sense, man.

I'd rather wait. Next gen consoles aren't that far off and the benefits should be worth it.

M1chl4364d ago

I would like Obsidian to be in charge in Fallout 4. New Vegas was infinitely better than Fallout 3...

A-Glorious-Dawn4364d ago

oooooh I would disagree with that..

I found that Fallout 3 was much more memorable, I guess because it was the first of its kind..

But NV wasn't bad, I just found that I lost interest after soo many quests were given to me in such a short space of time..

But that may be whats more appealing to you..

Siren304364d ago

I liked some of the things they changed in new vegas but I still prefer fallout 3

mistajeff4364d ago

I agree. Bethesda's handling of the lore was atrocious, and there were way too many linear quests for a proper entry in the Fallout series. Obsidian did a great job crafting a narrative that was almost as open as the world itself. The writing was significantly better, and the world was in-line with what you'd expect to find 200 years after the war. Fallout 3's world would've made sense if it took place before Fallout 1, but with such an extremely sparse population that hasn't figured out how to plant crops after 200 years, things don't quite add up when you compare it to the first two games.

Anon19744364d ago

I rather liked Vegas, but I think it's a tossup between Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I really can't decide which I liked better. Fallout 3 felt more expansive - I think mainly because so much of New Vegas happened in New Vegas. Frankly, I found the whole New Vegas aspect of New Vegas rather boring. That's what I liked more about Fallout 3. More exploring. Still, both were excellent.

Didn't some people complain that FO3 wasn't a true FO game because it was too different from the originals? Also, I see the comparisons they're drawing, but I don't think The Last of Us is going to turn out anything like Fallout.

Sidewinder-4364d ago (Edited 4364d ago )

Fallout 1 and 2 had more interesting stories, wheras F3 just came across as derivative.

The originals were more 'black comedy', and while F3 had little shades of this, it came across more 'serious'.

But I can't fault F3's presentation. When it came out, it was both imersive and impressive.

But the originals will always have their place as some of the best PC rpg's of all time.

mistajeff4364d ago

Fallout 3's quests were extremely linear by comparison to the first two games

fr00ty-wizenhymer4364d ago

Metro 2033 is a good game, not too similar too Fallout though. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is awesome. Borderlands is great with friends. Rage... meh. Bioshock I wouldn't really compare to Fallout.

Fallout 3 & NV were decent, but if you want to play great games then play Fallout 1 & 2.

TheGameFoxJTV4364d ago

The type of setting is similar. The whole 40s-50s feeling of the characters, and the area.

PAYNEinc854364d ago

If we do get a Fallout 4 this gen I hope it runs on the ID Tech 5 engine. Fallout needs a facelift in the graphics dept. for sure. Still great games though.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave11h ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto10h ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno10h ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai10h ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 14h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 13h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 11h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast17h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 9h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast16h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon1d 5h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast16h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon7h ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake10h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast9h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.

What Made Fallout 3 One Hell of a Game?

Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG remains an unabashed classic, more than a decade and a half on from its launch.

For me its the fact that I could put hundreds of hours into it and still find areas I missed in my earlier runs. It was also my first FO and despite what I had to put up with at times such as overall crashs and killing my orginal PS3 with the YLOD it's still my favorite entry to this day.

-Foxtrot4d ago

Tons of reasons

But my silly little one…hunting for unique weapons and armour

Something Fallout 4 just didn’t really have as much because they replaced most of it with randomly generated customised weapons. Even Elder Scrolla doesn't do it as well.

Yui_Suzumiya3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I remember during my first playthrough of Fallout 4 back in 2015 I somehow got an automatic combat rifle that shot explosive rounds by defeating a legendary creature. Unfortunately that was the only playthrough I ever got that weapon. It's a shame because it was absolutely epic!

Vits3d ago

Sense of exploration. That was why older Bethesda games were so good. They might have had glitches, broken mechanics, meh visuals, etc., but they were some of the best around when it came down to the sense of exploration. You could go wherever you wanted and you would find something cool; it might have been a faction, a weapon, an enemy and much more. And that is what they are lacking now. Skyrim still had a lot of that, but Fallout 4 dropped it by focusing on an interconnected world and more randomly generated rewards. Fallout 76 just kept that trend and added multiplayer, and Starfield went even further in killing it by creating a whole universe with parts completely isolated from each other.

EazyC3d ago

I think the retrospective of Fallout: New Vegas' existence has somewhat diminished the view of Fallout 3 in the eyes of many, but it getting out of the vault in Fallout 3 was, for me, the most remarkable experience I've had in a videogame.

I was 12 when it came out, and I remember I just saw the score it got in Gamemaster magazine (remember those!? 😅), and I just went to the shop and bought it with my pocket money.

Not knowing anything about the game, I thought the whole thing was going to be about growing up in a vault, especially given that I'd spent about 2 hours in it....I literally could.not.believe it when you got out and it was just this wasteland on every direction. Amazing.

Tody_ZA3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Probably because these Bethesda games were hand crafted so that exploration meant something. Unlike Starfield where this sense of exploration is replaced with the illusion of scope and procedurally generated worlds. A player can always appreciate when they wonder into an unforgettable new encounter by accident or stumble across a new questline that becomes their favourite. Just like a player can always tell when they're ploughing through filler on auto pilot, that they'll forget the moment some resource numbers go up and nothing worth remembering occurred.

I mean, in Fallout 3 you could nuke an entire town as a SIDE QUEST. In The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim, the Dark Brotherhood questlines were my favourite in any RPGs and you could completely avoid them if you didn't care for them. In The Witcher 3 side quests take you on ridiculously dark and mysterious storylines that are some of the best I've played in RPG history. There's a reason why people still talk about KOTOR to this day. Difference between a developer creating something or just padding a game world with stuff.

Fist4achin3d ago

There were some side quests that could yld have been developed into an entirely separate game. Some great writing there.
