OXM: Fallout 3 Review (Scan)

"Our 40-ish hours of game time over four days at Bethesda's Maryland HQ went by on fast-forward. We often forgot to eat, and we begrudged bathroom breaks. Games this captivating don't come along often. Between its engrossing story, ginormous world, well-crafted RPG side, and white-knuckle FPS combat, Fallout 3 completely, utterly gives you your $60 worth."

+ A genuinely compelling story that you want to follow.
+ Massive, rich world that you'll explore for a loooong time.
+ Intense, challenging combat.
? Can someone make a real-life Pip-Boy? That'd kick some iPhone ass.

..And they were right about GTAIV

DeadIIIRed6038d ago

GTA IV was sh!t compared to the other GTAs. I'm not talking about graphics, but overall fun. Their decision to axe the military was ultra retarded and the game was a lot less interesting than San Andreas. They can still make the game somewhat realistic while keeping the fun of past GTAs.

morganfell6038d ago

Are they saying they have completely overhauled the AI? I have the Collector's Edition paid off but frankly I am having second thoughts because the videos show some of the dumbest AI in a game...ever. What kind of AI just stands there and takes round after round and doesn't bother to find cover? Talk about a damage sponge.

I hope they fixed it but I am going to have to see some evidence to stop me from dropping my preorder and a written score isn't enough considering GTAIV garnered a lot of 10s and it wasn't even close to the proverbial bag of chips and a 2 liter coke.

morganfell6038d ago

Go ahead and disagree. You are saying that you think idiot AI is lifelike...which is an interesting way to comment on your (low) level of intelligence.

Hello Fable 2 and Fallout 3... Goodbye life.

kewlkat0076038d ago

does not want to get Fable because of those reasons and this guy is a gamer...The Oblivion type gamer.. so that's saying a lot.

Stay away for those with Gfs..

Timesplitter146038d ago

I was in the LBP beta, it was incredible
I tried the Resistance 2 beta, it was incredible
I just bought Dead Space, it's incredible
I'll buy Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2, they'll probably be incredible

man... I need more vespene gas!

Sarcasm6038d ago

You mean you need to acquire more minerals.

Starcraft 2 would have drained my life to the PC if it wasn't for that whole 3 part trilogy crap.

MK_Red6037d ago

It's pretty much stay away for those with GFs, jobs and literally lives. I think I'm gonna lose all to F3.
LOL, I haven't even gotten my PS3. LBP, MGS4...

Minerals and resources are not the problem. It is time that not even might Kerrigan can help me with.

My avy only says half of it! :)

TheRealSpy6037d ago

and...WoW: WotLK comes out next month too. how many lives do you think will be lost to that? and i had just gotten mine back from the last expansion. now that game, plus this game, plus gears of war2, plus farcry 2.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro5d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher13d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy13d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

Christopher13d ago

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster13d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot13d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

neutralgamer199213d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal13d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast13d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
