Fallout 3 Review

By Neon Kelly - 28/10/2008 - 4:01am GMT

Fallout 3 is packed with interesting places, with choices to make, with that nebulous sense of adventure you only find in the best RPGs. And after a long wait, it's finally here.

bought this game a few weeks back due to being a huge fan of Oblivion, but was thoroughly disappointed with it, mainly because there is not as much addictiveness as the was with Oblivion, I found the missions boring and long winded making everything as difficult as possible and instructions & maps for the missions were confusing. The only inventive thing being the VATS system, which was easy to use, but made confrontations difficult with multiple enemies.
The most enjoyable part of the game for me was when I got my money back and bought Quantum of Solace.

I am interested in getting fallout 3 and have read some good reviews, but have also been told that the game is nothing more the just walking around and talking to people and not much combat. Someone said that they played the game for 2 hours and they didnt get into any combat. Can anyone tell me if this is true please?

I would guess that to hunt down and kill everything in each area in Fallout 3 would take about 250 hours (not including respawns). That's just the hostiles, you can kill friendlies too.

If you've played any of the Elder Scrolls titles like Oblivion then it's the same thing here in terms of stuff to kill.

Never did get the point of these games i def. won't spend money on this i bought Oblivion for my birthday when i came out on xbox....DISAPPOINTMENT..... is an understatement i would wonder around for hour upon hours and spend countless hours building up skill then would go to a shack where to my suprise a crazed person with more skill would annihilate me and leave me to start ALL OVER... not to mention i would travel long distances to find new places to fun into a monster... huh and seeing i had not chance on beating them i would run away to only get about 3 ft and be killed by non other than a rat that was chasing me and every attack would be pointless bc they would always miss i was basically casting spells at the grass and poking the earch with a spear these games are soo boring and i can't believe ppl get into these so much they are pointless......play FABLE if you want a real game!!!!!!!

OK OK OK FALLOUT 3 wow, in my opinion i love this game but i guess its just the fact that my friend is a jerk and lets me play 30 mins while he plays i dunno a good 5 hours of it while I am at HIS house. But still when i DID get my chance to play this pretty good looking game i got hooked and now i am in need of going and buying this for xbox 360 unlike my friend who has a lame ps3 but still i love the gameplay. I am a big fan of elder scrolls i love to play them and pretty much all rpg games. But to my opinion this is the best. I love first person shooters and slashing a few guys with my blade and this game fits it all for me i get to blow some heads of with a rock-it-launcher and slice some puny vault 101 gaurds with some kid i killed in vault 101 that always picked on me. NOW THIS IS A GAME but you know i really havent been able to play it to its full capacity. But if you enjoy becoming the richest jerk in the whole wasteland and the friendly settlers trapped and abused by those super mutants murderer then this will probably be your type of game. I mean really who wouldnt want to make friends with some friendly renegade soilder guys and once they keep walking past you you pull out your minigun and just mow them down like a piece of trash would do it! But really you should get this game if you like rpg games

20 level cap. fail fallout 3. as soon as I reached it my interest has been constantly slipping and the fact that during the loading screen in which u can see ur progress to the next level is still there after reaching level 20 and shows that level 21 is the next level, and yet nothing u do gives u any exp, dangles the fact that all picked locks, killed enemies, hacked terminals and completed quests are in vain leaving only the achievements to motivate u which most of the time is simply not enough. The closed ending is very, very stupid. i cannot for the life of me fathom what was going through their heads when then they said "hey, lets not let them play anymore once they finished the main quest." a game this big and their going to cut u off? ****ing retarded. i was lucky enough to have a friend warn me just before i finished the game to create a seperate save file before i entered the last room so that i could leave the memorial and continue other quests. during the main story quests, the game was enthrawling and highly addictive, but once that 20 level max is reached, player interest is doomed to fall. u get so used the satisfying "cha-ching" sound after gaining exp that when its taken away u almost feel that despite ur efforts, uve accomplished nothing. i dont see the problem others seem to have with vats or the aiming while out of vats, it just takes sum getting used to. yes "whoopie!" the map is big, but the journeys from a to b are long and repititive unless uve been to that location before in which case u can fast travel but the map is so big, chances are uve never been anywhere near ur destination. another huge problem is how often ur weapons condition decreases. in an attempt to make the game realistic u must repair ur weapons regularly, but the rate at which their condition decreases is so far from realism it serves only to be an extreme annoyance. one thing i will say for the game is the role playing. more than almost every other game, fallout 3 makes u believe u r the character.
i loved(past tense) this game, alot. mostly becoz i owned, hard. i know this might sound extreme but the level 20 cap ruined it for me. and the closed ending didnt help. i sincerely hope that theres going to be dlc released in which u can attain higher levels, or ill be trading this game in for one that lets u decide when to stop levelling up, and that lets u decide when to stop playing.

Bethesda are raising the level cap in one of the DLC packs out in the first three months of 2009. They've also said that they'll change the ending to let you continue after the ending, but I've no idea how that's going to work....
