Customer Reviews
THE BRAND NEW POSTAPOCALYPTIC DAWN IS NOW COMPLETE!
I am old enough to have
played the original game when it first came out in 1997. I was a great
fan of the series that followed and, thus, was very eager to get my
hands on this latest installment. In a short sentence: FALLOUT-3 is A
DREAM COME TRUE! And now the dream is complete.
It is a cRPG game
in which the player can alternate between the First and Third person
perspective roaming a world comparable in size with OBLIVION. The action
has moved from Vault 13 and Southern California to Vault 101 and
Washington, D.C. and the story brakes away from the previous bloodlines.
However, the atmosphere of the original has been maintained and its
scents sharpened: veterans will find it fitting like and old glove -
whereas the new gamers are in store for a bag of pleasant surprises.
The
graphics are wonderful, the guns detailed and the environments highly
interactive. Short of a screenshot, imagine what would HalfLife-2 would
look if released today. And similar to HL2, FALLOUT-3 does not require
an...ubercomputer to run smoothly. Once you see a NPC move though, you
understand where the corners were cut.
Character customization is
carried out in great style using the new and improved PIP-BOY at the
beginning. You exit the vault and the harsh reality of a world that
barely survived annihilation slaps you on the face. Adapt or perish.
The
main storyline is there to be followed but FALLOUT-3 offers the
greatest number of alternative choices I have ever encountered in a
game! There is always a great number of paths to follow in order to
achieve any goal - but every choice comes with a consequences tag. This
is common feature of most classic cRPGs but in FALLOUT-3 I saw it
implemented like never before. If nothing else, this sends replayability
through the roof.
Side-quests offer little besides distraction
and experience points (XP) to be spend on character improvement. XP are
gained solely by completing quests, emerging victorious from fights,
finding locations, picking locks and hacking terminals - and they are
not limited by the action they were earned. Leveling up is based on 7
basic attributes [Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma,
Intelligence, Agility & Luck - acronym?;)] that, in turn, affect
your (13) specific skills. Leveling up used to be capped at Level-20
(increased to 30 by installing the DLCs), as the game designers wanted
to encourage replaying the game. However, with this increase, now your
character can realize its full potential. Replaying the game is still a
joy though.
The game is violent and gory but well within tasteful
limits. Not so with the language - but it is trade off with realism. In
a radioactive world, Sunday-school niceties are bound to go out the
window.
What deserves a special mention is V.A.T.S. (:Vault-Tec
Assisted Targeting System) which opens new vistas in cRPG design. It is
an ingenious system which lets you pause the game and target specific
body parts of your opponents. The success of your attack still depends
on your skills but the end effect is cinematic and amazing (remember
SWORDFISH?).
This GOTY edition includes all 5 DLCs released so
far: OPERATION-ANCHORAGE, THE PITT, BROKEN STEEL, POINT LOOKOUT and
MOTHERSHIP ZETA. Compared to the basic FALLOUT 3, applying the above
improves the experience immensely! As mentioned above, since one used to
reach the Level 20 cap long before the endgame, increasing this by 10
levels will give you a brand new ballgame.
Augmented weapons, new
territories, novel foes and unexpected story branching - all for the
price of the original game. I own the original game and coveted after
these DLCs in the past months, waiting for a complete edition such as
this GOTY one. When it became available I jumped at the opportunity to
get them all. And did not regret it for a moment.
After the
nuclear summer of 2008 (with all the Limited-Installation/defective EA
releases), this seems like a post-apocalyptic dawn indeed! BETHESDA
decided to listen to the gaming community and did NOT cripple this
beautiful game with any idiotic DRM scheme. Inputting a serial number
and a DVD-check is more than reasonable.
The publishers of FALLOUT-3
understand that there is a fine balance between "protecting the product"
and..."insulting your own customers". And they obviously view respect
as the two way street that it is - and for this they deserve our
support: buy this game, today.
Voting with our wallets is the
only argument the gaming industry cannot afford to ignore. And it is
about time to cast some well deserved positive votes.
HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED!
Great game. One of the best
ever.
Fallout 3 is just an amazing
game in every respect. If you're familiar with Bethesda's other RPGs,
you will have a fair idea of what to expect. It is an open world
"sandbox" RPG with elements of a FPS. When it was released a year ago,
Fallout fans somewhat derisively called it "Oblivion with guns". Truth
be told, on the surface, it is a very fair assessment of this game, but
that's not a bad thing at all! It's definitely a similar kind of game,
but the setting and humor are quite unique. At no time does it feel like
any other game you've played before, other than the fact that it's got
Bethesda's signature style all over it. There is so much to do in this
game that you can easily get as much or more playtime as a normal game
without even touching the main storyline quests. When you take into
account the 5 add-on packs that come with this GOTY edition, the "bang
to buck" ratio is increased quite a bit in favor of the bang. The add-on
packs alone retail for the price of this package. If you already have
Fallout 3 without the add-ons, you may as well get this edition and sell
your original. If you don't already have Fallout 3, then there is
absolutely no reason to pass on this edition of the game. It was named
Game of the Year for a very good reason. In fact, it's easily one of the
best games of the last 10 years.
rated 4
stars alone
Rated 4 stars alone but with
the all the expansions (and including broken steel that like magic
wil
make the games fantastic by adding 10 more levels and increasing the
degree of difficulty a lot
from the beginning of the game not the
expansions only) So you install all of them and start the
game from
the very beginning and it becomes more difficult a lot faster. Stronger
enemies, Great new weapons, and fantastic variety of locations, etc. to
me there is nothing out there that can match this game as a total
package. So I rated 5 stars. This will only apply to the PC version...
