In this week's edition of The Catch-Up, Kyree gives Fallout 3 a second chance... and so far, it's paying off.

Must have been too young to appreceate the greatness of that game the first time playing it. Once I started. I could stop. One of the greatest games this gen.

Tru_Blu5100d ago

I feel the same way. Just got a goty I found cheap also. Heading back to the wastelands to get my 100% as we speak.

buckley5100d ago

I had a similar experience to the author... Started once, hung out at Megaton, lost interest for whatever reason.

Went back months later, put in over 100 hours. Couldn't stop. Don't know why it took two tries, but when it got me, it got me.

Morbius4205100d ago

That same thing happened to me with Fable: The Lost Chapters and kotor. With Fable I played so much my original Xbox died. I was lucky enough that day that Best Buy had 2 Xbox 360s for sale; this was a couple months after launch when 360s were scarce.

Tru_Blu5100d ago

I'll add, in my opinion it was the greatest game this generation. Sure some other games were really good but this was the only game I'd skip going out with friends cause I just had to get home and play it. New Vegas was good also but just didn't have the FO:3 aura if that makes sense.

A second chance...?

I dont understand how this game failed to deliver on the first chance.

STICKzophrenic5100d ago

I played the game for about 20 hours and hadn't really accomplished much. I think I started playing another game, and didn't pick it back up until a couple months ago, which was about a year after I stopped playing it. I logged well over 100 hours I believe. Once I beat the main quest, I started some of the DLC (GOTY edition) but then stopped playing it again cuz inFAMOUS 2 released, and I bought Killzone 3 as well.

buckley5100d ago

I had the same exact experience. Interesting how there's a solid contingent of people who had to give this game a second chance, and that it worked.

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

ZeekQuattro54d 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!

Christopher62d ago

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

OMGitzThatGuy62d ago

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

Christopher62d 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.

RaidenBlack62d ago (Edited 62d 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.

RaidenBlack62d ago (Edited 62d 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.

FTLmaster62d ago

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

-Foxtrot62d 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.

neutralgamer199262d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal62d 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_Suzumiya62d ago (Edited 62d 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.

anast62d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
