I'll never understand why only me and my friends, and everyone I know IRL believe this is the greatest game ever made. Maybe it's just my influence, or maybe people on the interwebz is just weird.

For me, greatest game ever made. Better than Zelda, better than Mario, better than Fire Emblem, better than VIII. Best game ever, don't now why. Why is sex good? Sky blue? Laughing enjoyable?

It might be because you and your friends never played Fallout 1 & 2. At least that's the most logical reason.

I know no one that loves Fallout 3, but then again, most of my friends are PC gamers.

TC, Fallout 3 is a fantastic game.... if you enjoy openworld RPGs that is. They tried to make it more appealing to shooter fans but in the end you have to enjoy the non-linear structure. That or you have to understand you can play it linear by following the main quest marker in your HUD. If you do the later one then Fallout 3 can still be an enjoyable 10 hour experience, but what the devs hope to shape you into during those 10 hours is someone who goes off road and makes his own adventures. This happened to many people who played Oblivion and Fallout 3 as their first openworld wRPG game.

It didn't happen to you, maybe you were unpatient, maybe you didnt read and didnt even see the marker and simply wandered around aimlessly without ever understanding the appeal of it. When I first set foot in the wasteland and saw the detailed open space I couldnt wait to explore it all. You could also become that kind of gamer if you first follow the marker, if not then you still got a good enough shooter if you ot it half price.



I totally agree!

I've got like 2hr-4hrs of gameplay in it, and i just can't stand it. Its beyond boring, and the open world is horrible, aswell as the tunnels. Theres no action and the RPG of the game is utterly bs.
Worst game ever!



It's as simple as this. Make your own adventure. If you have ever played the Elder Scrolls or Fallout series you will completely understand this. I played the Elder Scrolls starting from the first about 7 years ago. I started backwards with the Fallout series and enjoyed them all. It was kinda hard to get used to the old mechanics of Fallout 1 & 2 but I persevered and enjoyed it.

I used to hate WRPGs btw except Diablo. Then I got into Baulder's Gate and kinda give them all a try now. JRPs used to be my thing but this gen and partial last gen I really got a soft spot for WRPGs. MMO RPGs I hate with a passion still like WoW and Everquest.

I just wish I had something other than my Mac for computer gaming lol.

Best game I've played since Half-Life 2 back in 2004.

does anyone bothers to explain why this games is so "venerated"?

It's a sandbox game made by Bethesda that's on both the 360 and the PS3. And it pisses on the Fallout name.

so, now im gonna play it again with a different perspective, and post my final conclusion here

thanks guys :D



Nintendo is a constant in life. Nintendo is the place where you can always go to have a great time, whether that is alone or together with friends. Nintendo made dozens of all time classics which are more than just amazing games. Nintendo is a gaming company. Nintendo raised our sorry asses better than a parent ever could. Nintendo is a religion. Nintendo is what drove gaming forward and what continues to drive gaming forward. Nintendo saved gaming in the '80s. Nintendo is saving gaming again right now.

It takes time to get into some games, you have to just keep playing and eventually you get pulled into the game. About 7-8 hours into Fallout 3 I started to enjoy it a lot more. I still like Oblivion a lot more.

It does take some time to get used to this kind of game, I imagine it will take longer if your used to shooters. I grew up with RTS games like Caesar 3 and Age of Empires 2 so maybe it wasn't as hard for me to make the switch. But I got an xbox after playing Halo:CE, then I picked up Morrowind (Oblivion's predecessor) because it looked cool in a weird way and it was half price. I don't know if you've heared about Morrowind but it is much much much slower then Fallout 3. It took me 7 hours to get used to it but having only 2D RTS games on my odl PC and no money left to spend I sort fo had no choice then to get into it. Now I consider it the best game I've ever played.
