One of my Top Ten RPG's!

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2014

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Edition: Game of the YearVerified Purchase

Fallout was my introduction to the Role-Playing genre! I loved the customization of the character, and journeying across the vast wasteland for one single purpose...to find you father. But you have to survive the Raiders, the zombified Feral Ghouls, the Super Mutants, and every other danger of the waste first. Bethesda out did themselves on this one. I bought the Game of the Year Edition of Fallout 3, because like I said in my review of Fallout New Vegas Ultimate edition, I dont have internet thats good enough to go on the Playstation store, and buy them all individually. So I got the next best thing...a disc with the base game and all of the DLC in it! Now, because I never played the DLC, I've only completed 2.5 out of the 5 dlc, but i'll do my best to tell you.

1. The Capitol Wasteland is vast (disregarding the other maps added by dlc) in its own right. Based in post-apocalyptic Washington D.C., its a huge map, with alot of ground to cover! There are two major factions...the Brotherhood of Steel, who are steel aromer clad Crusaders who fight the Super Mutant menace. And then theres the Enclave, who are basically post apocalyptic Nazi's. No spoilers...but most of the story greatly revolves around the conflict between the two factions.

2. The dlc add a bunch of new areas to explore, like Pittsburgh in the Pitt, the virtual training sim of Alaska, the swamps of Maine in Point Lookout, a f***ing Alien ship! Yeah...alot of places.

3. There is a plethora of armor and weapons in the game alone, and even more added by the dlc (like the bada** Auto Saw, and the Gauss Rifle.) The signature armor of the Fallout universe is on the cover. Power Armor is some of the best heavy armor you can find. There are several variants, theres the Brotherhoods armor, the Enclaves armors (not only one set, but they also have Tesla armor.) Some of the best armor in the game. My favorite is the T51-d power armor that you get from Operation: Anchorage DLC, its prewar power armor, thats fully intact.

4. With Broken Steel, the story of the Lone Wanderer from Vault 101 (as said by Three-Dog), basically comes full circle, as the war with the Enclave has officially begun. Continuing from above, alot of weapons were already in the game, but now...theres Hellfire Armor...its Jet black, and is carried by the Elites of the Enclave...always keep a set for yourself, because its some awesome armor.

I seriously don't know what else I could tell you...other than you should buy this game! I said it once and I'll say it again....Bethesda outdid themselves..... 10/10 baby! :D

Great Game...Glitches Are The Only Drawback

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2014

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Edition: Game of the YearVerified Purchase

It took me a while to get into this game but once I did I really liked it. It's one of those games the further you get into the the better it gets. Basically this game is very much like a Grand Theft Auto concept. You can do missions or you can run around and do whatever.

Pro's:
- Very big world to explore...very big
- Voice acting pretty good and convincing
- Good number of missions...don't like one, just do another one or go exploring
- The further you get, the more items you find and acquire, which makes the game more fun

Cons:
- Glitches- and I don't mean one or two. This got very annoying at times, where I would have to restart my PS3 and go to the most recent save point. The good thing is an auto save feature usually brings you close to where you were. The glitches got to be such a pain at one point I had to alter my gameplay because it kept freezing up in the same spot each time. My PS3 was brand new when I was playing this game and I have never had any problems like this on other games outside of this game.
- Graphics- This was not a problem for me, but basically to me they are PS2 graphics. The game is so great though this was a none issue for me...I'm just mentioning it.

I never owned fallout before the GOTY, and as of right now, I havent experienced the trouble that others are reporting. I only have about 2 maybe 3 hours of gameplay in right now, so it may be too early to tell. I wonder how big the hard drives are for those having trouble.

The game is wonderful, I really cant find any complaints with it. Give me a few more weeks and I will come back and do an update.

UPDATE-----------------------------------------------------29 OCT 09
Ok. The game does freeze up, but I think I found out why.

1. sometimes I play while I'm connected to teh playstation network and in chat it will freeze if I try to send a message or something. But that is really not the game itself.

2. I found myself playing for quite awhile the other day. Lets say almost 9 hours straight. The game actually froze up on me and I cut it off, granted I played for 9 hours straight, (a lot of wasted time I know). It has frozen slightly a few times but this game is huge. I have not experienced anything like others are saying but as I keep playin I will keep yall updated. Also, I think I'm gonna delete some of the demos I have so I can have more room on my HDD.

I still give it 5 stars, because this game is excellent.

UPDATE-----------------------------------------------------21 DEC 09

Ok. I had to tke a star away because of the freezing problems. Yes it does freeze, and there are frame rate issues. I am doing point look out atm and it seems when I fast travel to certian areas there are frame rate issues. I have found out one thing worked for sure, and another thing that kinda helped it.

1st the thing that helped. When ever things slowed down especially from a fast travel I "outran" the lag. Meaning I kept moving to a different area and that cleared it up a bit.

2nd thing that worked was I just paused quickly before it froze and quit the game. Then reloaded. It saved a lot more time then trying to play through watching it freeze then having to reset.

Last thing. You dont have to hard reset the game for it to stop. I found that resetting this way gives me a msg of not turing off the PS3 correctly. What I have been doing instead is ejecting then reinserting the game. This causes the PS3 to reset and no error msg.

Anyway Fallout 3 is still one of the best games I have played. I does have some issues but to those who are interested in this game, it is well worth it. You will have to do some tricks with it later, but if you can stand that then you will enjoy this game.

I was expecting a cheap no graphics on the case purchase due to how old the game is but it was a brand new copy for ps3 still with film on it. I couldn't be happier, thank you!

This is game is very good and worth picking up. Not too many bugs with this one. The only big issue with this game is that story is short and can be finished quickly but the additional content that comes with the game fills the experience.

"Fallout 3 is the Ultimate videogame!"

Reviewed in India on November 22, 2016

Platform For Display: PlayStation 3Edition: Game of the YearVerified Purchase

This game is easily a must-play, you have to play it atleast once, though if you can't stand old visuals get "New Vegas" instead.

The world of Fallout 3, is packed with Side-Quests and Collectables, and is gorgeous, has a ton of locations to explore, enemies to kill, and things to loot, craft, sell, buy, however there are problems, one big problem for me is the constant freezing, It freezes every now and then but it becomes unbearable sometimes, say you just got past a really intense and hard firefight with Super Mutants, annnddd..... the game froze... restart the game and find that you have to fight em' again "sigh.....", and the game runs a bit slow at times on PS3 (don't know about X360) and there's no legal way of obtaining a Steam copy on PC to mod it and get a much better experience.

In short, GET IT!, plus if you have a Xbox One (or Xbox One S) you can get the X360 Version and play it on your XONE, just put the X360 Disc in your XONE download a (6.3GB or so) update and you're good to go.

One more thing, Amazon delivered the "Essentials" version instead of "Greatest Hits", it's not a huge deal, but then again it shouldn't say "Greatest Hits" in the title if it ain't the "Greatest Hits", still though i'm really happy with this game.

9/10
