    It's just a sucky version of Fallout New Vegas, my advice is to just play that instead

    Fallout 3, developed by Bethesda Game Studios, is a seminal title in the open-world RPG genre, known for its expansive post-apocalyptic world, rich characters, and captivating stories. However, it's not without its shortcomings, with dated graphics even for its time and gameplay that can be described as less than stellar. Despite these issues, Fallout 3 remains a compelling and addictiveFallout 3, developed by Bethesda Game Studios, is a seminal title in the open-world RPG genre, known for its expansive post-apocalyptic world, rich characters, and captivating stories. However, it's not without its shortcomings, with dated graphics even for its time and gameplay that can be described as less than stellar. Despite these issues, Fallout 3 remains a compelling and addictive RPG experience, thanks in part to the innovative V.A.T.S system.

    One of the standout features of Fallout 3 is its immersive and intricately crafted post-apocalyptic world. The Capital Wasteland, a nuclear-ravaged version of Washington, D.C., is a desolate and hauntingly beautiful setting. The attention to detail in the game's environment design is remarkable, with crumbling buildings, radiation-soaked landscapes, and the remnants of a once-thriving civilization. Exploring this world is an adventure in itself, as every nook and cranny holds secrets, stories, and dangers.

    The characters and stories that populate the Capital Wasteland are where Fallout 3 truly shines. Bethesda has a knack for creating memorable NPCs with their own personalities, quirks, and motivations. Interacting with the denizens of this bleak world, each with their unique stories and quests, adds depth and authenticity to the experience. Whether it's the enigmatic Three Dog or the morally ambiguous characters you meet on your journey, Fallout 3's characters leave a lasting impression.

    However, Fallout 3's flaws become apparent when you turn your attention to its graphics and gameplay. Even at the time of its release, the game's graphics were far from cutting edge. Character models often appeared wooden, and the overall visual fidelity was subpar compared to contemporary titles. While some might argue that graphics aren't the most critical aspect of a game, it's hard to ignore that Fallout 3 felt visually dated even upon release.

    The gameplay, while serviceable, leaves much to be desired. The combat mechanics can be clunky and imprecise, and the shooting mechanics are less than satisfying. The saving grace here is the V.A.T.S (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) system, which adds a strategic layer to the combat. It allows players to target specific body parts of enemies and pause the action, making fights more manageable and enjoyable. Without V.A.T.S, the gameplay might have been a major drawback, but this innovative system makes it bearable.

    Despite these issues, Fallout 3 remains an addicting RPG experience. The allure of exploring the vast wasteland, interacting with its denizens, and making impactful choices in a morally gray world is undeniably compelling. The game's flaws are noticeable but can be overlooked when you're engrossed in its storytelling and world-building.

    In summary, Fallout 3 is a game of contradictions. Its world, characters, and stories are fantastic, drawing players into a post-apocalyptic dystopia filled with rich narratives and moral dilemmas. However, its dated graphics and occasionally frustrating gameplay mechanics hold it back. Thankfully, the introduction of the V.A.T.S system salvages the gameplay, making it enjoyable. Despite its flaws, Fallout 3 is a testament to the power of storytelling in games, offering an addictive RPG experience that's hard to forget.    … Expand

    Let's face it, this game is old: the UI is clunky, the combat is frustrating, the graphics are buggy, and the story is linear. But the game completely immerses us in its oldness through atmosphere alone.

    The game had a lot of technical difficulties, it doesn't play like a good FPS, and has massive issues with RPG elements, but still provides a huge Map to explore and an overall good experience, it is my least favorite game out of the Fallout franchise.

    My biggest gripes with this game, specially considering its an rpg:

    Linear Main Story: Despite its expansive world, the main story can feel somewhat linear in comparison. This could potentially limit the player's sense of agency, especially if they prefer non-linear storytelling.

    Bethesda Game Studios makes some of the most astonishing single player experiences someone can have gaming, and Fallout 3 is no exception. This game distances itself from the old ones and sometimes feels like a mockup of that classics, but either way still one of the best RPGs I ever played.

    The game was really dark and atmospheric when it came out. A solid feeling of a post-apocalyptic world, cruelty everywhere, characters have believable stories and quests. The disadvantages include a rather high difficulty, but it also adds more sense of survival

    Un auténtico MUST. Bethesda hizo una auténtica obra maestra allá por 2008 y se ha convertido en un juego de culto. El mundo abierto, los personajes, las casi infinitas posibilidades que te ofrece este título, TODO, es una simbiosis perfecta que da lugar a uno de los mejores RPG de todos los tiempos.

    An incredible game, just replayed it this week to see if it still holds up and I was immediately so immersed in the incredible atmosphere of the beautifully realized DC wasteland that it was hard for me to put down. Easily one of the best RPG's of all time and my personal favourite Bethesda Studios game. It's been 15 years since release and this game is still a masterpiece.

    When released, this game was truly impressive. It built upon the masterpiece Oblivion, and it brought some impressive new elements of gameplay. Immensely fun to explore, and great atmosphere. It has been overshadowed by more modern games, but it was easily a 9.5/10 when it was released.

    Mainly, none of the quests matter. Even the most ardent defenders of this game can point to 2 good quests, Wasteland Survival Guide and Oasis. Wasteland Survival Guide feels like a tutorial mission for the mid-game; "Learn about radiation and limb damage", "learn about x location" and by the time you finish the first chapter it's worn out its welcome. Oasis is...fine, but everything seems designed so that you'll never find it, from it only being accessible through a thin mountain path right to the very north, to it's location only being given to you via random encounter. Half the locations are entirely useless, providing nothing but set dressing and maybe a bobble head or skill book (if you're lucky). The only reason this isn't a 0/10 is because some characters are pretty fun and likeable, and some of the setpieces like Tranquility Lane and the Liberty Prime battle are somewhat enjoyable.

    Este juego fue para mí un gran avance de la saga fallout gráficamente y jugabilidad muy buena y cómoda lo que más me gustó de este juego fue el mapa y el modo historia me pareció muy interesante en pleno 2022 lo recomiendo jugarlo si nunca jugaste un fallout este es muy bueno para empezar

    fallout 3 es uno de los pocos juegos chingones, eso es lo que lo hace especial, su historia es única, y su jugabilidad también lo es, hoy en día, estás joyas de Bethesda, se siguen jugando, como el primer día que salió, y siempre será así, y hoy en día no encuentras juegos así, me encanta fallout 3

    Одновременно люблю и ненавижу. Вроде нравится этот немного странный мир, но из-за отсутствия РПГ и боевой систем, чувствуется слишком деревянной.

    I'd have given it a 10 just for a single radio soundtrack, but there's so much more that deserves a 10 in this game. Bethesda knew their job back in the day.

    One of the most memorable games of my childhood. Replayed it in 2022, still holding with atmosphere and world, Most elements aged poorly sadly. In any case, Iconic game.

    An interesting attempt to transfer the legendary world of Fallout into a fully 3D space. The game has its own interesting moments and some atmosphere. And also good additions that reveal more of the lore of the world. But for the most part, it is empty, boring, poor in content, very interesting to explore, and with a rather poor history.

Locations are gray and empty. Most travel passes through the same type of tunnels (Hi, Skyrim). Cities look corridor-like and limited. Bethesda's idiotic auto-leveling system makes gameplay annoying. The character creation system looks pointless and has almost no effect on anything. Locations are no longer so interesting to explore, there are no interesting descriptions of various items and the possibility of their use. Now it's just trash.
    For me, this is the weakest game in the Fallout series so far.    … Expand

Клёвый большой мир, который интересно исследовать, неплохая графика для своего времени, но квесты и сюжет, как обычно на средне-нижнем уровне.Игра, ставшая классикой, но на самом деле - это стандартный дибилизм от Тодда Говарда.

    I think Fallout 3 is a good video game but story, some RPG mechanics, quests and factions could have been done better. It's a fun experience that on PC is plagued by Bethesda lack of care for their aging titles. The game crashes way too often and has tons of bugs. Still it's a well done RPG that holds up even 14 years later.

    Many said that this is Oblivion with machine guns, but the atmosphere and the setting are completely different. Interesting plot, average gameplay, average graphics for its time, but it was fun to play.

    Fallout 3 is a heartfelt love letter to the original games, but there is still so much it fails at. For a game that focuses so much on gunplay I would expect it to be more enjoyable, but it really isn't that great and it's only ever really improved upon in Fallout 4.

But the thing this game does better than Fallout 4 is translating the original RPGs into the 3D environment. The side quests can be really enjoyable, but you're unlikely to ever see the best ones because of the large size of the map. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but there is so little in this map that it becomes a big issue. The main quest starts out fine enough, but quickly turns out to be an absolute disaster! The lack of nuance in allowing your character to create their own backstory holds this game back from being truly great, as does the at times simplified writing. But, it still has its own merits to enjoy.… Expand

    Я не проходил Fallout 1 и 2, так как мне в то время не нравились пошаговые сражения, короче знакомство с серией начал с Fallout 3. В журналах я посмотрел трейлеры и постепенно заинтересовался игрой. В 2008м Fallout 3 вышел, я его включил и обалдел.
    Надо только потерпеть минут 20 и выйти из убежища 101.
    Всё. Атмосфера этого мира меня покорила.

    Надо только потерпеть минут 20 и выйти из убежища 101.
    Всё. Атмосфера этого мира меня покорила. Хотелось просто ходить туда-сюда и наслаждаться!
    Поначалу кажется, что шутерная часть, какая то хреновая. Но выясняется, что стрелять в игре самому и не нужно! Есть V.A.T.S. И всё держится на нём. Когда я это понял, то играть стало на порядок интереснее. V.A.T.S. прокачивается, улучшается и до конца игры я пользовался только им, ну кроме снайперки. Жаль, что в 4й и 76й уууухуху ;-(() частях его угробили.
    Далее о сюжете и доп. заданиях. Так как я игру прошел несколько раз (пока 3), первый и третий на PC, а второй на XBoxe 360. По первости пошел напрямки по сюжету и игра как то быстро закончилась.... Но ничего, через месяц прошел на консоли уже со всеми побочками и я затратил в 3 раза больше времени, В 3 РАЗА. То есть дополнительных, необязательных заданий в иге в 2 раза больше чем сюжетных. И каких. Многие доп. задания мне понравились больше чем сюжетные. Жаль, что после прохождения половины у меня уже был 20 уровень, но об этом позже.
    Больше всего мне понравилось, что при нужной сноровке можно пройти игру на 100% с одного раза. Чего нет ни в New Vegas, ни в четверке, а жаль.
    Теперь система прокачки. На сегодняшний день, лично для меня, одна из лучших. Перки, способности. Зачем нужно было всё это выбрасывать в четверке? Не знаю.
    А сколько всяких мутантов и прочего зверья. Сколько разных фракций. И дети и Анклав, и Братство стали, и вампиры, и какая-то секта поклонников вросшего в дерево гуля, даже каннибалы есть!
    Ооо убежища! В Fallout 3 они великолепны. Просто в 2008 году, когда заходил в очередное разрушенное убежище, просто холодок по коже пробегал. В последующих частях эта магия куда-то пропала, ну лично для меня.
    Недостатки тоже были, но они настолько были незначительными, что полностью были поглощены великолепной атмосферой. Ну, например многие ругали кривую анимацию, но это был 2008 год. И кстати её до сих пор не особо поправили в более новых играх серии. Ещё я говорил, что упёрся в 20й уровень в середине игры. Толи это был, какой то баг, толи так задумывалось (зачем, кому это нужно) не знаю. Но в изначальной Fallout 3 максимальный уровень был 20й. К счастью в Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition сделали 30 уровней, чего вполне хватает даже на все dlc, что и спровоцировало меня на третье прохождение ;-).
    В заключении скажу. Для меня, не смотря на некоторые недостатки, игра стоит в одном ряду с The Last of Us, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, BioShock.
    Советую всем, по каким-то причинам пропустившим, даже сейчас. Тем более в наше время есть множество модов которые улучшают графон и не только.    … Expand

    One really easy way to describe this game is… boring.

    To start off, you’re born. Bit cliche, but fine. You you spend 5 minutes listening to an unskippable cutscene where you pick your name and looks, then spend another 5 minutes walking around as the slowest **** baby ever and choose your special stats while your dad rambles on about some **** bible verse I still can’t remember.

You you spend 5 minutes listening to an unskippable cutscene where you pick your name and looks, then spend another 5 minutes walking around as the slowest **** baby ever and choose your special stats while your dad rambles on about some **** bible verse I still can’t remember. Then the game forces you to interact with the most boring npcs in the world at your 10th birthday party for another 5 minutes and then teaches you how to aim and shoot like any person with above a room temperature IQ should know. You then take a meaningless quiz which takes **** ages and choose tag skills. If you haven’t turned off the game yet, you finally get to leave the vault. But not before you run past guards who want to kill you for no reason! Then, come to the shocking realisation that was just the tutorial. An amazing quote by Mr Howard himself, “when you step out that vault, it feels like you’ve already spent you’re entire life in there” yes Todd, I literally have spent my entire **** life in there. Freedom at last! What will the world contain! Amazing people, places, hidden secrets? Nope, just hundreds and hundreds of copy pasted bushes with the occasional house with some ammo inside to make you feel like you’re not just holding down W. The real problem with this game isn’t the fact that the devs didn’t put good content in, because there are great missions and stories in the game, but the fact that they didn’t let players find any of it. After I finished the game for the first time, I was happy and thought, wow, that was fun. Then I looked at my second monitor and realised I had a hundred tabs open all along the lines of: “how do I find _____ fallout 3”, “how to start _____ quest fallout 3”, “where is ____ fallout 3”. This game simply is not fun unless you know how to play it already, or if you know where everything is already, the game gives you no sense of direction of where to find the fun bits, all it does is put a tiny little marker in the corner of the screen telling you where to go to find a clue about your father who you already forgot about.

    TL:DR: fallout 3 has fun bits, but doesn’t let you find them, and forces you to do boring stuff.    … Expand

You are an ex-vault 101 inhabitant, and you discover a whole new world, full of zombies, mutants, raiders, aliens and all kinds of creatures.
