Fallout 3 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One) was awesome, and it set the standard for many FPS RPGs that came later. What exactly made it great? Let's dive in. Subscribe for more: / gameranxtv
You bet, i bought it for the ps3 be cause was cheap and had and coll case then when i went to my house i played 1 hour and remember being scared(i was way yonger), then 1 week after a givve another try and wow it was the best 90 i had in one game including all dlcs. Mothership zeta for me was the best
I think one of my fave moments ever as a gamer was in Fallout 3. Got pinned down by a huge group of raiders at these giant satellite dishes. Last guy is on the walkway above me, I'm totally pinned down, less then 10% health, no more health items. Only gun I have left is a missile launcher with 1 shot left. Step into his line of fire, activate VATS, 4% chance to hit the target. Fire the missile anyways. Direct headshot. The dude explodes into a million pieces and I win the fight. I still to this day remember that, it was freaking epic as hell.
my best moment in F3 was firing 4 railroad spikes at 3 Enclave soldiers coming through the doorway, then just standing there amazed at the three trophy heads pinned to the wall in front of me muhawhaha
FO3 definitely had the most "apocalyptic" feel of the series. I remember being totally freaked out traveling through the subway tunnels, and was terrified of those snarling, corpse-like ghouls leaping out of the shadows. The ghouls in FO4 look like cookie dough monsters and were a major disappointment to me. As for great moments in FO3, there were so many ... but I think the greatest was when I first emerged in central DC to see the broken Washington Monument across the plaza. The destruction of DC and its iconic landmarks really made me feel like I was exploring a post-nuclear world. Compare that to FO4, where they chose a small New England setting (lots of barren trees and small houses - yawn). The the sense of nuclear destruction was far less visceral in such a rural setting. And while FO:NV was an excellent game, the sense of devastation and isolation was far less evident; after all, how different does a post-nuclear desert look from a normal desert? FO3 is to this day my favorite game - for the amazing, green-tinged atmosphere and barren isolation. Still gives me chills!
edmund wells agreed. And I may be looking at it with the thickest rose tinted nostalgia goggles in my house, but there were just so many memories from Fallout 3. Emerging from the vault, entering Megaton for the first time, Tranquility Lane, the terrors in nearly every building/cave system. It nailed atmosphere. And I really want to see 1,2, and 3 brought to modern systems. I mean we have Diablo 3 on modern systems, and Divinity, all of which are old school RPGS that work with controllers.
ApocalypseOfSpoons I mean hell, I’d even just take a port of three for modern systems (even the Switch) but I wish Bethesda would understand that these games shouldn’t be thrown aside in favor of chasing fads
ApocalypseOfSpoons oh my god, it’s a damn mess and a half. Nobody asked for a Fallout game like that. One with local Co-op? Absolutely! But this, with one release, Bethesda has seemingly flushed all good will down the drain, and I feel like the older games are just going to get thrown by the wayside.
Some of the ghouls in FO4 have like that old skull skelly look to them, but I do see way to many mashed tater looking zombies that ignore their limbs being smashed or severed. I wanted to like 76 but its an empty heartless game and their is no drive to do anything. I would need an army of friends to make it fun and then the servers would probably crash.
The music... oh dear God the music of fallout 3... especially "Dear Hearts and Gentle People" hearing that song reminded me that no matter what happens to people or the world, humanity can continue, there will always be a nice guy, there will always be someone who tries to rebuild, And maybe someday, people with a dream will have a nice house with, "picket fence and rambling road" and that people can always be welcomed into any new group. Fallout 3 was great. Thanks.
Ive been playing fallout 3 for 4 years and completed the story mutliple times and to this day I still find new areas and spots ive never explored or scenarios ive never experienced
Fallout 4 has more quests than fo3 without even taking into account radiant ones or fo4 dlcs wich are several times better than fo3's (I did enjoy killing aliens with their own weapons, but c'mon that wasn't great content). The Preston Garvey meme has honestly been used to death, especially when you can outright ignore him in the first place.
ヅAdmireDrippy i’m thinking about playing it again for the 20th time :) but i’ll switch it up since i was always a very good person and did everything good.
Don't forget the music! oh man the music was so memorable. Not just the old classics but the world's atmosphere soundtrack. Wow, what a game to get immersed in. It's the reason it's my number 1 game of all time.
My first Fallout was 3, and to be honest, the sense of adventure, discovery, and the music drew me in and made me a fan. I'll admit, there's somethings that it did better than 4, and New Vegas definitely feels richer in its story, but, i still play 3 to this day and have a blast no matter what. That's my own opinion.... good day...
I agree with you but I personally love New Vegas more. Has the best story and RPG elements that I prefer. But fallout 3 does the sense of adventure, and discovery the best in the series, so I'll always love it for that
First time I beat Fallout 3, I had avoided as many super mutants as possible. Once I had my stats way up, I went around punching off super mutant heads with a Power Fist. LOVED that. Also, my dad played F3 with me once for like an hour. We took turns smashing radroaches with a baseball bat. Good times.
My favorite moment of Fallout 3, honestly, was when I first walked out of the dank little hole and saw for the first time with blurry eyes the Capital Wasteland. It was before I had a 360 (or a PS3) and the experience of it on my friends console was very literally awe inspiring.
From what I've seen, the Fallout 3 haters spend hours harassing strangers on the internet for liking the game. I doubt they have a life outside of the games
Fallout 3 was my first experience with the Fallout series, and I was astounded at the game. I played it at least 15-20 times, and loved it every single time despite palying it the same way almost every time. Then New Vegas came out, and I felt very iffy about it but that's because of my prejudice towards desert maps/areas, I *loathe* desert areas/maps. But I still enjoyed it as much as I did Fallout 3. And then Fallout 4, I was enjoying it when my dad got it for me for my birthday (it released on my birthday) and I'm still playing it to this day. So I feel like I'm a fairly... neutral, or what have you, fan of the series. I don't hate on people for liking 3 or NV more than the other, nor do I hate on people who like 4. I do remain disappointed that so many people are getting as pissed off with Bethesda about Fallout 76, as the Battlefront community was with EA for Battlefront 2 and the microtransactions fiasco. I can agree with you two however, I see a LOT of people just shitting all over the people who are fans of the other games in the series because the game they aren't a fan of, is the same one the shitter is a fan of.
I've never valued the opinions of people on the internet. I think I like New Vegas and Fallout 3 equally but for different reasons. Fallout 3 has a better aesthetic and a better open world in my opinion. I actually really like the stories in both of the games
I loved escaping the Raven Rock base and funding Fawkes with a Gatling laser shooting down vertibirds, one of the coolest experiences along with fighting your first behemoth
I will always remember leaving Vault 101 for the first time. it gave me feelings of despair, excitement and fear in a way that no other game had before. over nine years later and I still compare my video game story experiences to that specific moment.
Knightkin aren't that bad, but I remember in 3 when I ventured up by Old Olney at the top of the map and saw a deathclaw for the first time. That shit was terrifying. I killed my first deathclaw with a scoped magnum from like a mile away lol
The first time I ever saw a deathclaw was in fo3 and scared the shit out of me. I was in an area where they frequently spawn and I turned to see one in mid lunge. It was weird though because it hit me once then actually Jumped, into space. it Didn't return.
My favorite part of Fallout 3 was actually one of it's DLCS: Point Lookout is something that I remember fondly. It was spooky, but interesting. I also liked the Pitt! But from the base game? All of the metro tunnels. It was the main way to get to places, and no other game I've ever played after has utilized it with the same feel at all. You go down into this dark, scary place and have no idea where you'll pop up, desperately following the marker on the pipboy. Love it.
If you haven't played them yet, You should give the "METRO" series a try. It's the only game I've played, other than Fallout 3, that really nailed the experience of exploring old, spooky and dangerous subway tunnels.
Is because of Fallout 3 I fell in love with open world/apocalyptic games. I love, love Fallout 4 too😊 Also, Fallout 3 had one of my favorite characters, Three Dog! "Helloooooo Children!" 💕
Same here.. had never been a PC game or at that time and so I had never heard of Fallout series before ... I've since become a PC Gamer and have played three and New Vegas and part 4 on my PC and it's great
My favourite moment of fallout 3 was right after I completed all dlc, story, and all main side quests. I went back to my megaton house sat down on my chair while Galaxy news radio played “I don't want to set the world on fire" went into 3rd person mode and slowly zoomed out and pretend the screen went black. I never played again and I loved the send off
Fallout 3 is my favorite fallout series. The feeling of hopelessness of the post nuclear world is what makes it a great game fallout new vegas and fallout 4 has a different vibe on it. Its like playing a good character in fallout 3 is like giving life to a desolate wasteland.
still has nothing to do with my comment. Go somewhere else. If you really hate Bethesda or whatever awful nickname you want to call it, harassing random people isn't the way to go.
Christmas SKELETON Fallout New Vegas is a better game than Fallout 3. But that won't change the fact that Fallout 3 was a great game. New Vegas just happened to be better.
Alpha Perseuse I feel like writing a comment explaining why Fallout 3 is bad isn't the best thing to do, but if you want to talk about it, feel free to add me on steam
4 sucked because it pushed you into some crazy shit fast unlike 3 you had options to be slightly evil and it slowly pushed you into control not just survive
I always loved fallout 3 the most of the series and it was the first fps game i owned and my favorite thing i ever did was lead Liberty Prime to battle, so badass
Max, you one of the only few people in the comments with a clear mind, NV was better and innovative than 3 and 4 and that is what made the game monumental. Without 3 we would have never get NV.
Max Belford, I agree, but I just love the environment of FO3. I have never really enjoyed playing in a cowboy themed nuclear wasteland like in NV, so that is the only reason I prefer 3
My favorite fallout memories, heck my favorite gaming memories are from my first play through of this when I was 10. That first moment when you leave the vault to the first time I went in the metro tunnels and saw a feral ghoul, that really scared me as a kid it took me like a month to build the courage to go down there
Fallout 3 will always have a special place in my heart. In middle school, a friend of mine told me he got this game for Christmas and he hated it, and would therefore give it to me for FREE. That game was Fallout 3. It was the first RPG I had ever played, and between the size of the world, all the detail, the crazy weapons, the well written dialogue and interesting side quests....I was fully absorbed. Without a doubt, playing Fallout 3 was largely responsible for turning me into the gamer I am today. Thanks for the vid and allowing me to reminisce.
Thank Josh Come on, it wasn't really bad. The main questline was meh but many of the side quests were unique and super memorable (something that FO4 severely lacked). I don't think you're giving it enough credit.
Thank Josh I've also never played Morrowind so I can't really hold the two games next to each other. I know it's regarded by many as Bethesda's best work.
The memories I had with Fallout 3 are priceless. It gave me a new prespective of life and made my childhood. I'll be sure to get it again. Just wish I could have never seen the game in order to live the experience again. It changed my life, thanks! :)
My favorite memory of Fallout 3 is also one of my earliest ones: I had just escaped from Vault 101 (basically I had just completed the tutorial, as it were), and was standing in the tunnel, facing the door that would lead to the outside world. I was trembling with excitement. I role-played that my character, who had just escaped the Vault, was now hesitantly opening the door, terrified of the unknown but also intrigued by the thought of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. He (me) slowly opened the door and stepped into the blinding sunlight.
Yes, I expected wasteland, cultures of people that lived there for hundered of years... well and I got land, that looks exactly the same everywhere you look (I even missed that nuke town, because it looked exactly the same as everything else), and everything was fully populated with bunch of animals, raiders, all of them wanned to kill me on site and with almost no chance to avoid them. Then I started to notice, that it actually wasn't Fallout at all and it was completly different game and that might have been good, but I expected Fallout and therefore I was dissapointed so much, that I couldn't force myself to finish the game :-(
I actually didn't know of Fallout franchise until Fallout 3. Then I spent a large portion of my life in that world and New Vegas. I feel like I actually lived in the nuclear wasteland, in my memories, now, because of my past obsession with the worlds. Fallout 3's DLCs were definitely the cherry on top that I never knew I needed until they existed. Mainly Anchorage(The nice infinite ammo/armor glitch) and Mothership Zeta.
I remember that my cousin gifted me fallout 3 and I didn’t really take interest at it at first. It was only late last year that I played it and it still is AMAZING
Fallout 3 really deserved it's many awards and universal critical acclaim, it changed gaming in so many ways from roleplay, story to world design and so on. It was the first Fallout game I encountered and it sucked me into the wasteland. Fabulous experience
Atmosphere and music in fallout 3 easy beats new vegas and F4 Well, at least for my taste, but new vegas overall always will be superior in other parts
Dvrk night dummo. They took out alot of good things that made the previous games good and added the settlement system and messed up alot of lore. That’s why alot of previous fallout fans aren’t happy about it
Yeah it’s a shame. Fallout 4 is still a pretty fun game, but you get burnt out on it way too quick and it lacks a lot of the character the previous games had.
Fallout New Vegas is one of the best game ever made it is probably the best open world RPG game it has everything and more. It had the most interesting weapons, places, character, deep ass lore, and great mechanics its revolutionary compared to fallout 4. By the way am I the only one that loved the ballistic fist and punching people til they exploded oh oh or or getting the perfect sneak shot with the anti material rifle In my opinion keep your pants on Also Skyrim does come close but I love the feel of Fallout more
No it is not. It has a lot of good RPG mechanics. It had a really good story, but its world was pretty bland and felt quite empty. Not to mention it is, even with the unofficial patch a CTD monster. Had the development team had another year to finish it, then I might think of it, not as the best, but as one of the best RPG's of all time. Unfortunately I just see it for what it could have been.
theres a place downtown that u have to take subway stations or go through buildings to get to and its a park FULL of super mutants the whole area i found it when i was around 9 or 10 and i remember trying to find it when i replayed it a few years later. 22 now and this series is still my favorite games of all time
"Communists detected on American soil. Lethal force engaged" hands down my favorite moment was Liberty Prime, the crazy fight mixed with Anti-Commie messages is a true highlight of not just Fallout history, but gaming history.
As a kid, I loved that the main mission was to find my dad. It was compelling but not so urgent that you felt guilty for wandering off, unlike the search for your child in Fallout 4. I loved that we started out as a vault dweller. Everything was as new to my character as it was to me. I could be myself. My favorite moment was seeing a raider in the distance just after stepping out into the wastes for the first time. "A person! Out here?! Maybe he's friendly!" *Gunfire*. I never felt so insulted ;P
Fandom Tribal pretty much everything said there was true besides the dice roll speech. Personally I liked having a chance to fail, it also means no matter how low level you are that there's a CHANCE you can do it. Fnv you had to have this skill level, end of story
Fallout 3, NV, and 4 are all great games. New Vegas was obviously better, and had more features, but 3 was the introduction to majority of the fan base everything we ended up loving about the series. Fallout 4 really was a good game, but they just weren’t able to capture what people liked about the past two entries.
The intro to Fallout 3 is one of the coolest memories I have in gaming. After escaping Vault 101 I scrolled through my Pip Boy and saw the radio signals. I remember clicking on the Enclave radio signal to hear the start of “America the Beautiful” play as I took in the sight of the game world before me.
My favorite memory of fallout 3 was the opening cutscene with the jukebox flickering on to playing Ink Spots I don’t want to set the world on fire and seeing the camera pan to a ruined Washington DC from that moment on I was hooked
Youssef A. Dude give it a rest we get that new vegas is good. But don't shit on fallout 3, fallout 3 may be flawed in some areas but its still a great game, without it we wouldn't have a New Vegas.
Yea you're right. I played NV first then FO3. I really wished it was the other way around. The areas that are flawed to me is the overall pace, contrasting from NV in FO3. It sadly deprived my interest in the game. :/ It must've been great at that time, I guess ;)
Favorite thing is from 5 years ago, when I first played. I have this memory of how immersive the game felt to me, and walking into springvale school was definitely the coolest thing I’ve done.
For anyone whose been to Wasteland Weekend, the first biggest influence is Mad Max, the second- Fallout. It has had a huge influence on the Post-Apocalypse fandom/subculture. From the lexicon to the use of bottlecaps. Tribes and organizations all have bottlecaps printed with their logos that are collected and traded like business cards and the casinos use them as poker chips.
My favorite Fallout 3 memory was learning about fast travel... after 40+hours of gameplay. I will say I discovered a lot of locations traveling on foot everywhere.
I loved little lamp light town and being able to grab the Lincoln repeater while toting the Declaration of Independence that’s what got me into fo3 a buddy was playing and I went back home and booted it up, loved it ever since
A brilliant game with atmosphere , great and funny dialogue options and Freedom. Now Fallout is watered down and seems to be more about Minecraft than anything else and gone so goofy too. Have you guys seen Waynes world when Waynes world got brought out by that company ? how the intro to Waynes world changed and made cheesy ? that feels like whats happened to Modern Fallout sadly.
When I had just started highschool, I bought an Xbox 360 and I got a second hand copy of Fallout 3 for it. The first time coming out of vault 101 was indescribable. At this moment, I have about 4500 hours logged on the Xbox version alone 😆
F3 had an amazing story and feels to it, NV just puts you out like that on an empty boring world with no introduction to the game, theres a reason why F3 is hugely regognized with GOTY awards and best of prev gen games, heck you called NV and RPG was the first Fallout game that introduced ADS, fuck that ruined so much more
My favorite part of 3 was traveling out of the vault and turning on the radio for the first time. I had never played a fallout game before 3 and was pleasantly surprised to hear people commentating over the radio. This made me want to play the game. I love fallout new vegas' aesthetic and feel but I just couldn't get into it. I felt like I didn't have a reason to leave goodsprings. I also didn't like the town of goodsprings because every single house felt the same and it didn't make me want to explore. I believe fallout 3 has a much better storyline
One of the fondest gaming memories for me was in 9th grade Hurricane Sandy hit my state. Power was out for two weeks but my parents allowed one of the generator lines to my TV and Xbox. Fallout 3 helped me get through those 2 rough weeks until we were allowed back to school
I enjoyed both 3 and New Vegas, but I preferred 3. In my opinion, it's down to personal preference: The adventure theme that 3 offers Vs the gritty realism of New Vegas. New Vegas did offer some gameplay improvements, but what can I say, I'm a bit of a graphics whore.
I'll never forget the first night I spent playing this game all night with the lights off getting lost in the subway system. A ghoul ran up on me and didn't make noise till it was in my face and I literally jumped off the couch. It was a great memory of one of my favorite games of all time, let alone the first game I ever got for my Xbox 360.
Damien13 Fout Well not really debating. All Fallout fans know New Vegas is way, way better. While all these new Bethesda Fallout fans think 3 is better (somehow)
they are debating, just like you are now, I personally think fallout 3 is way better and I played fallout 1 and 2 first, in fact it seems fallout new vegas fans are the worst, they come and pry on fallout 3 videos and bring up how they think new vegas is better when thats not even what the video is about, like they want people to know they like new vegas when no one gives a shit. fallout 3 should be praised as not only a great game but the game that made the building blocks for nv, people fallout nv tards have to ruin all of the celebration
Vis_Leos I do wonder how did you even play through Fallout 1and 2 if you think 3 is better. 3 fails pretty much at everything that makes a Fallout game.
First time I played Fallout 3, I didn't realize I had a compass and markers, went left into the wasteland (and a lake, I think), instead of right towards Megaton.
One of the biggest flaws in Fallout 3's design, it treats you like a child and doesn't really let you think for yourself or have intuition. Classic Fallout games had level design and YOU had to figure things out yourself by clues and hints from NPCs. I could remember playing through Fallout 3 my first time and just skipping all dialogue because they were unengaging but I still knew what to do because the quest markers are still there. Just walk from A to B and kill some dudes and stuff and then talk meaningless dialogue and you're done. I was just zoning out whenever I got given a quest marker. All I wanted to do was just explore and that's really the only thing Bethesda is really great at.
I remember going to a shop and seeing something I really wanted, but couldn't afford, because the first time you play you feel like you're always broke and can't get caps. so I decided to try to steal it even though I hadn't stolen anything so far. But then I had to come up with a way to do it without getting caught because the shopkeeper was always within sight of it. finally I realized I could stack crates in front of me and block her sight, and get away with stealing it. it was so satisfying even though I found a better version of the item just an hour or two later.
I loved the mod "Mothership Zeta Crew". Sadly it was never completed, but it was great to be able to do something with the alien ship you captured besides hang your hat in the captains room
I loved getting my hands on the Tribal Power armor in The Pit, pair that with an outcast helmet and you get one hell of a good looking suit. Not to mention that the Metal Blaster is a pretty sick laser Shotgun, gimme that over the standard tribeam that mutant overlords carry anytime I play. Guess my favorite parts of Fallout 3 were the dark gritty setting, and the sense of humor to match it, but especially the power armor and the Guns.... lots of guns.
I'll never forget the time I went to the super duper mart and I used Vats with the 44 mag close range on a raider. I clicked one time for a head shot. The camera moved to a side view kinda far out showing just the two of us like in a stand off. He aimed for the head and then there was a slight moment of silence. The rider was about to take another shot but the trigger was pulled and his head fucking exploded onto the wall and he just fell to the ground. After the camera went back to first person view. I just stood there in awe. This was early on in my first play through of the game. It was the most epic and brutal thing I experienced in a video game.
i wish i could wipe my memory to experience fallout 3 again for the first time
Wow juicehead lol
Soon well see wardaddy aswell
Same, but for NV as well Juice!
JuiceHead I hear that buddy
You bet, i bought it for the ps3 be cause was cheap and had and coll case then when i went to my house i played 1 hour and remember being scared(i was way yonger), then 1 week after a givve another try and wow it was the best 90 i had in one game including all dlcs.

I think one of my fave moments ever as a gamer was in Fallout 3. Got pinned down by a huge group of raiders at these giant satellite dishes. Last guy is on the walkway above me, I'm totally pinned down, less then 10% health, no more health items. Only gun I have left is a missile launcher with 1 shot left. Step into his line of fire, activate VATS, 4% chance to hit the target. Fire the missile anyways. Direct headshot. The dude explodes into a million pieces and I win the fight. I still to this day remember that, it was freaking epic as hell.
my best moment in F3 was firing 4 railroad spikes at 3 Enclave soldiers coming through the doorway, then just standing there amazed at the three trophy heads pinned to the wall in front of me muhawhaha
Bimmer M3 lol me too
Fred Hurst 😂
Rob Noire Gaming and with “Anything Goes” on the background playing. Masterful!
My moments is exploring and completing everything
FO3 definitely had the most "apocalyptic" feel of the series. I remember being totally freaked out traveling through the subway tunnels, and was terrified of those snarling, corpse-like ghouls leaping out of the shadows. The ghouls in FO4 look like cookie dough monsters and were a major disappointment to me. As for great moments in FO3, there were so many ... but I think the greatest was when I first emerged in central DC to see the broken Washington Monument across the plaza. The destruction of DC and its iconic landmarks really made me feel like I was exploring a post-nuclear world.

edmund wells well you do know mr house either disabled or shot down nearly all nukes headed for vegas right?
First time you'll roll into Canterbury Common and see the Ant-Agoniser facing off with The Mechanist. That was mental.
brings back hilarious memories man
It was so much fun deciding who would prevail. Also ant-agoniser's knife was hella powerful.

I'll admit, there's somethings that it did better than 4, and New Vegas definitely feels richer in its story, but, i still play 3 to this day and have a blast no matter what. That's my own opinion.... good day...
Kifflom Dolphin A Tale of Two Wastelands...
You're welcome.
I wish I could play games over and over but I just can't do it, I'd sure save a lot of money if I did
The storyline's mainly what I liked more about 3 than New Vegas.
I feel the same
I agree with you but I personally love New Vegas more. Has the best story and RPG elements that I prefer. But fallout 3 does the sense of adventure, and discovery the best in the series, so I'll always love it for that
Patroling the youtube feed almost makes you wish for a fallout new vegas video
a gansta dissing your fly girl The only modern Fallout game where you can actually roleplay.
Helios oof, I don't know about that
Preston Garvey how about no
bad touch bad touch
T R U T H
Watching Megaton explode was surreal. I did it every damn time. I also enjoyed the random encounters such as the Oasis. Great storyline.
Yes officer, I have him right here
First time I beat Fallout 3, I had avoided as many super mutants as possible. Once I had my stats way up, I went around punching off super mutant heads with a Power Fist. LOVED that.
Also, my dad played F3 with me once for like an hour. We took turns smashing radroaches with a baseball bat. Good times.
Did you use fisto
Combat shotgun can be used in any situation that gun is crazy good.
Nicholas Rebh better yet the terrible shot gun
Perfect Chaos imagine if someone sees your comment and they think terrible shotgun is a bad shotgun because of name
Yeah its good because bethesda is too stupid to distinguish damage resistance and damage reduction.
when you need to open a box of fancy lads snack cake riot shot gun
terrible shotgun too
"Why Was Fallout 3 A Big Deal?"
Short answer: Because it was a great game. That lead to better games.
then led to 4
I said better not completely better.
4 is a downgrade in every way except gun play and graphics got better its an action shooter not an rpg.
Like I said "better, not completely better."
@@averytucker790 Like The Act Man said "We wouldn't have FONV if we didnt had FO3"
My favorite moment of Fallout 3, honestly, was when I first walked out of the dank little hole and saw for the first time with blurry eyes the Capital Wasteland. It was before I had a 360 (or a PS3) and the experience of it on my friends console was very literally awe inspiring.
It was the first truly open world game that I had ever played and that moment still hits my nostalgia. Haha.
Me: fallout 3 is my favorite! I love the story abou...
Fnv Fans: BETTER STORY, BETTER GAMEPLAY, BETTER ANYTHING...
r/fallout in a nutshell
From what I've seen, the Fallout 3 haters spend hours harassing strangers on the internet for liking the game. I doubt they have a life outside of the games
Fallout 3 was my first experience with the Fallout series, and I was astounded at the game. I played it at least 15-20 times, and loved it every single time despite palying it the same way almost every time. Then New Vegas came out, and I felt very iffy about it but that's because of my prejudice towards desert maps/areas, I *loathe* desert areas/maps. But I still enjoyed it as much as I did Fallout 3. And then Fallout 4, I was enjoying it when my dad got it for me for my birthday (it released on my birthday) and I'm still playing it to this day. So I feel like I'm a fairly... neutral, or what have you, fan of the series. I don't hate on people for liking 3 or NV more than the other, nor do I hate on people who like 4. I do remain disappointed that so many people are getting as pissed off with Bethesda about Fallout 76, as the Battlefront community was with EA for Battlefront 2 and the microtransactions fiasco.
I can agree with you two however, I see a LOT of people just shitting all over the people who are fans of the other games in the series because the game they aren't a fan of, is the same one the shitter is a fan of.
I've never valued the opinions of people on the internet. I think I like New Vegas and Fallout 3 equally but for different reasons. Fallout 3 has a better aesthetic and a better open world in my opinion. I actually really like the stories in both of the games
Both Fallout 3 and NV are the best RPG at it's time, and still now
I like New Vegas better than 3 but its still a great game with some stuff actually 3 got better than New Vegas
The real question is: Why is Skyrim still such a big deal?
nomercy8989 it has a lot of replay value
nomercy8989 It wasn't and they already made that video.
nomercy8989 because Lydia still doesn't get the heck outta the way...
nomercy8989 Huge mod support and gameplay designed to be addicting.
I don’t know
I loved escaping the Raven Rock base and funding Fawkes with a Gatling laser shooting down vertibirds, one of the coolest experiences along with fighting your first behemoth
Yeah and it totally makes no sense!! But who cares!? Shooti shooti boom pow!
Der Transgender-Prophet Mohammed Caesars legion made no sense
I will always remember leaving Vault 101 for the first time. it gave me feelings of despair, excitement and fear in a way that no other game had before. over nine years later and I still compare my video game story experiences to that specific moment.
me: honey where is my t51 suit?
her: what
me: WHERE IS M T51 POWER ARMOR?!?!!
Ahhh 3rd Fallout world problems. Never gets old!
First time i saw a centaur i almost shit my pants lol
Elias Calvo Those things are terrifying!
Murilo Yeah, fallout 3 isn't a horror game, but sometimes it sure does feel like it.
Russell Ashmore knightkins will scare you the first time you see em and ghouls are creepy but dumb.
Knightkin aren't that bad, but I remember in 3 when I ventured up by Old Olney at the top of the map and saw a deathclaw for the first time. That shit was terrifying. I killed my first deathclaw with a scoped magnum from like a mile away lol
Sam Kornfan i killed mine with godmode lol
What really sticks out to me was the first time I saw a death claw.
Knight Solaire
U were a deathclaw? How did ya become human?
Yus boi
I know, I was referring to when I was a little scrub nugget to the fallout series.
The first time I ever saw a deathclaw was in fo3 and scared the shit out of me. I was in an area where they frequently spawn and I turned to see one in mid lunge. It was weird though because it hit me once then actually Jumped, into space. it Didn't return.
Well it's not the first time somebody shit their pants
My favorite part of Fallout 3 was actually one of it's DLCS: Point Lookout is something that I remember fondly. It was spooky, but interesting. I also liked the Pitt! But from the base game? All of the metro tunnels. It was the main way to get to places, and no other game I've ever played after has utilized it with the same feel at all. You go down into this dark, scary place and have no idea where you'll pop up, desperately following the marker on the pipboy. Love it.
If you haven't played them yet, You should give the "METRO" series a try.
It's the only game I've played, other than Fallout 3, that really nailed the experience of exploring old, spooky and dangerous subway tunnels.
The music and atmosphere made this game my favourite of all time
Is because of Fallout 3 I fell in love with open world/apocalyptic games. I love, love Fallout 4 too😊
Also, Fallout 3 had one of my favorite characters, Three Dog!
"Helloooooo Children!" 💕
Play Fallout New Vegas
Play fallout 1,fallout 2 or NV.
Same here.. had never been a PC game or at that time and so I had never heard of Fallout series before ... I've since become a PC Gamer and have played three and New Vegas and part 4 on my PC and it's great
Moira is the best character. A nuke couldnt even kill her. Quest was fun too
I killed 3dog in every play through, even the good ones.
My favourite moment of fallout 3 was right after I completed all dlc, story, and all main side quests. I went back to my megaton house sat down on my chair while Galaxy news radio played “I don't want to set the world on fire" went into 3rd person mode and slowly zoomed out and pretend the screen went black.
I never played again and I loved the send off
Fallout 3 is my favorite fallout series. The feeling of hopelessness of the post nuclear world is what makes it a great game fallout new vegas and fallout 4 has a different vibe on it. Its like playing a good character in fallout 3 is like giving life to a desolate wasteland.
finally a positive fallout 3 video to clog up my reconnmended videos that doesn't say "fallout 3 is garbage"
good input, please explain to me in full every reason why you believe fallout 3 is a bad game without attacking me based on the type of media I enjoy.
still has nothing to do with my comment. Go somewhere else. If you really hate Bethesda or whatever awful nickname you want to call it, harassing random people isn't the way to go.
Christmas SKELETON yikes

Fallout New Vegas is a better game than Fallout 3.
But that won't change the fact that Fallout 3 was a great game.
New Vegas just happened to be better.
Alpha Perseuse I feel like writing a comment explaining why Fallout 3 is bad isn't the best thing to do, but if you want to talk about it, feel free to add me on steam
4 sucked because it pushed you into some crazy shit fast unlike 3 you had options to be slightly evil and it slowly pushed you into control not just survive
You could still explore however you wanted. It doesn't push you anywhere. Problem is with the fact that it's just an Action game. No RPG. Not at all.
How is Fallout 4 just an action game with no RPG ?
Exploding pants in Fallout 3 was much better than in 4...actualy my favorite thing :D...and also you could throw grenades in V.A.T.S.
well but that aren't answers why 4 isn't a true RPG game
Lalo rodriguez new Vegas gave you the option to be completely evil
Fallout 4 was ok but it was no fallout 3 by a long shot
Renebean and fallout 3 was no new vegas.
I’m glad you’re the ones that didn’t shit on fallout 4 and actually at least accepted it
josh corbett your right it was better
New Vegas improved the gameplay, but I liked Fallout 3's story more.
New Vegas is my favorite so far 4 is Okay but I want a remake of new Vegas
I always loved fallout 3 the most of the series and it was the first fps game i owned and my favorite thing i ever did was lead Liberty Prime to battle, so badass
New Vegas NEEDS a remaster!
you know what needs a remaster more? FALLOUT 3
the superior choice in video games
You know what really needs a remaster Fallout 1 and 2
@@ccringee9094 AHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
With Fallout 4 graphics and way better lighting
Need I remind you this is a Fallout 3 video?
fo3 was important, but fallout new vegas was monumental
Max, you one of the only few people in the comments with a clear mind, NV was better and innovative than 3 and 4 and that is what made the game monumental. Without 3 we would have never get NV.
So right how boring and orange and how it had nothing .. oh yeah Nv was sooo great
New Vegas took what 3 did and improved on it.
Max Belford, I agree, but I just love the environment of FO3. I have never really enjoyed playing in a cowboy themed nuclear wasteland like in NV, so that is the only reason I prefer 3
NV is pretty much how 3 should have been and what 4 should have improved upon.
Fallout 3 still has the most badass intro I have seen. Gave me goosebumps.
Coz you didn't play Fallout 1 and 2.
the Oasis side quest w/ that talking tree is one of the wildest video game memories i have. i’ll be 80 still shocked about that lol
My favorite fallout memories, heck my favorite gaming memories are from my first play through of this when I was 10. That first moment when you leave the vault to the first time I went in the metro tunnels and saw a feral ghoul, that really scared me as a kid it took me like a month to build the courage to go down there
Another great memory is downloading my first mod, Enclave Commander
The FALLOUT of this video is reflected in the comment section
Ghostmarine10 yeah, a bunch of whiny man children screeching over the concept that progress needed to be made.
DaFro3713
Fuckup 3: Rehashed Edition was an objective downgrade.
Try again.
Fallout 3 will always have a special place in my heart. In middle school, a friend of mine told me he got this game for Christmas and he hated it, and would therefore give it to me for FREE. That game was Fallout 3. It was the first RPG I had ever played, and between the size of the world, all the detail, the crazy weapons, the well written dialogue and interesting side quests....I was fully absorbed. Without a doubt, playing Fallout 3 was largely responsible for turning me into the gamer I am today. Thanks for the vid and allowing me to reminisce.
Kayside
"Well written dialogue"
Bugthesda and good writing have nothing in common, post Morrowind.
Thank Josh Come on, it wasn't really bad. The main questline was meh but many of the side quests were unique and super memorable (something that FO4 severely lacked). I don't think you're giving it enough credit.
Sanic Xcalibur69 I respectfully disagree, sorry mate.
Fandom Tribal Nah son
Thank Josh
I've also never played Morrowind so I can't really hold the two games next to each other. I know it's regarded by many as Bethesda's best work.
I loved Fallout 3! I remember seeing it for the first time and getting excited about it.
The memories I had with Fallout 3 are priceless. It gave me a new prespective of life and made my childhood. I'll be sure to get it again. Just wish I could have never seen the game in order to live the experience again. It changed my life, thanks! :)
My favorite thing about fallout 3 was the microtransactions
N7 DOOMREAPER cuz there weren't any?
N7 DOOMREAPER lel, yes, best microtransactions ever XD
Nooo it was the nanosuit.....
errr, negative sir. No microtransactions. No of those dumb motherfuckers were in the market yet.
You did not dig his joke did you ? :-)
My favorite memory of Fallout 3 is also one of my earliest ones:
I had just escaped from Vault 101 (basically I had just completed the tutorial, as it were), and was standing in the tunnel, facing the door that would lead to the outside world. I was trembling with excitement. I role-played that my character, who had just escaped the Vault, was now hesitantly opening the door, terrified of the unknown but also intrigued by the thought of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. He (me) slowly opened the door and stepped into the blinding sunlight.
.......you have too much time on your hands
HyperDavidovich i know the feeling, i remmember when i saw a centaur for the first time and i was like "what the heck is that thing?"
Me too! Very nicly told
Yes, I expected wasteland, cultures of people that lived there for hundered of years... well and I got land, that looks exactly the same everywhere you look (I even missed that nuke town, because it looked exactly the same as everything else), and everything was fully populated with bunch of animals, raiders, all of them wanned to kill me on site and with almost no chance to avoid them. Then I started to notice, that it actually wasn't Fallout at all and it was completly different game and that might have been good, but I expected Fallout and therefore I was dissapointed so much, that I couldn't force myself to finish the game :-(
i can relate fallout 3 was the first game i ever played
I also liked the sound it made whenever I repaired one of my weapons or armor.
This is a game that needs to be remastered
I actually didn't know of Fallout franchise until Fallout 3. Then I spent a large portion of my life in that world and New Vegas. I feel like I actually lived in the nuclear wasteland, in my memories, now, because of my past obsession with the worlds. Fallout 3's DLCs were definitely the cherry on top that I never knew I needed until they existed. Mainly Anchorage(The nice infinite ammo/armor glitch) and Mothership Zeta.
This came out while I was listening to I don't want to set the world on fire
I remember that my cousin gifted me fallout 3 and I didn’t really take interest at it at first. It was only late last year that I played it and it still is AMAZING
Fallout 3 really deserved it's many awards and universal critical acclaim, it changed gaming in so many ways from roleplay, story to world design and so on. It was the first Fallout game I encountered and it sucked me into the wasteland. Fabulous experience
Fallout 3 is the only game I got scared and jumped in my seat, and probably one of my most favorite moments in gaming period
Ever and the only game to do so
Skeevers were the most frightening thing I've ever dealt with in a game... I imagine taking fire in Day Z was even worse.
The Gary clones still haunt me to this day.
Dunwich Tower was creepy.
when a deathclaw rushes towards you arms wide open its the worst
Atmosphere and music in fallout 3 easy beats new vegas and F4
Well, at least for my taste, but new vegas overall always will be superior in other parts
It’s crazy that a game for graduating 5th grade from my parents is still so relevant to me personally as a 20 year old man. Still one of my favorites.
I remember how engrossing it was when you first stepped out of the vault. I think it was at least an hour before I made it to Megaton.
More so than 4 was anyway, that's for sure.
Fallout 4 was lackluster in every way possible.
Project Gamer fallout 4 was actually good lmao people always talk down about it
Dvrk night dummo. They took out alot of good things that made the previous games good and added the settlement system and messed up alot of lore. That’s why alot of previous fallout fans aren’t happy about it
BallGod9009 And was nothing like Fallout
Yeah it’s a shame. Fallout 4 is still a pretty fun game, but you get burnt out on it way too quick and it lacks a lot of the character the previous games had.
Fallout New Vegas is one of the best game ever made it is probably the best open world RPG game it has everything and more. It had the most interesting weapons, places, character, deep ass lore, and great mechanics its revolutionary compared to fallout 4. By the way am I the only one that loved the ballistic fist and punching people til they exploded oh oh or or getting the perfect sneak shot with the anti material rifle
In my opinion keep your pants on
Also Skyrim does come close but I love the feel of Fallout more
OMG bro.. retire
Blue The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Skyrim
No it is not. It has a lot of good RPG mechanics. It had a really good story, but its world was pretty bland and felt quite empty. Not to mention it is, even with the unofficial patch a CTD monster. Had the development team had another year to finish it, then I might think of it, not as the best, but as one of the best RPG's of all time. Unfortunately I just see it for what it could have been.
Indeed papa
theres a place downtown that u have to take subway stations or go through buildings to get to and its a park FULL of super mutants the whole area i found it when i was around 9 or 10 and i remember trying to find it when i replayed it a few years later. 22 now and this series is still my favorite games of all time
5:36 The thing that still makes me uncomfortable to this day, are those alien abominations on the Mothership Zeta DLC 😷
"Communists detected on American soil. Lethal force engaged" hands down my favorite moment was Liberty Prime, the crazy fight mixed with Anti-Commie messages is a true highlight of not just Fallout history, but gaming history.
"Better dead than red!"
No mention of van buren?
Andrew Cramer it got cancelled you mo-ron
You cant play as far as i know...
Gorazd Trimparevski, I think everyone knows that.
Tolerable Guy so?
Gorazd Trimparevski its mentionable. You can download it online right now but its not fully complete. Moron
Andrew Cramer ok good for you...and dont call me moron
I said it as a joke from fallout 2...
Maybe think before you speak next time...
As a kid, I loved that the main mission was to find my dad. It was compelling but not so urgent that you felt guilty for wandering off, unlike the search for your child in Fallout 4.
I loved that we started out as a vault dweller. Everything was as new to my character as it was to me. I could be myself.
My favorite moment was seeing a raider in the distance just after stepping out into the wastes for the first time. "A person! Out here?! Maybe he's friendly!" *Gunfire*. I never felt so insulted ;P
People debating wether Fallout 3 or Fallout NV was better, meanwhile I'm over here playing Tale of Two Wastelands.
Samurai Tex
On NV's superior engine.
😂
Decius Julius
There are also several improved and added mechanics that didn't exist in Fallout 3.
Fandom Tribal
Exactly!
Fandom Tribal pretty much everything said there was true besides the dice roll speech. Personally I liked having a chance to fail, it also means no matter how low level you are that there's a CHANCE you can do it. Fnv you had to have this skill level, end of story
^Looks like we got another brain dead Bugthestard.
Behold the glory of atom !
To hear the thunder of his vice to feel the power of atom
Same with the Children of Atom.
Fallout 3, NV, and 4 are all great games. New Vegas was obviously better, and had more features, but 3 was the introduction to majority of the fan base everything we ended up loving about the series. Fallout 4 really was a good game, but they just weren’t able to capture what people liked about the past two entries.
The intro to Fallout 3 is one of the coolest memories I have in gaming. After escaping Vault 101 I scrolled through my Pip Boy and saw the radio signals. I remember clicking on the Enclave radio signal to hear the start of “America the Beautiful” play as I took in the sight of the game world before me.
My favorite memory of fallout 3 was the opening cutscene with the jukebox flickering on to playing Ink Spots I don’t want to set the world on fire and seeing the camera pan to a ruined Washington DC from that moment on I was hooked
Megaton House > House created from junk around Sanctuary
Making your own house in fallout 4 didn’t feel that rewarding.
Because it was f***ing amazing
Bragrumble nope
It sucked, man.
Play the original games and New vegas. THAT is real Fallout.
Youssef A. Dude give it a rest we get that new vegas is good. But don't shit on fallout 3, fallout 3 may be flawed in some areas but its still a great game, without it we wouldn't have a New Vegas.
Yea you're right. I played NV first then FO3. I really wished it was the other way around.
The areas that are flawed to me is the overall pace, contrasting from NV in FO3. It sadly deprived my interest in the game. :/
It must've been great at that time, I guess ;)
What does that mean?
Favorite thing is from 5 years ago, when I first played. I have this memory of how immersive the game felt to me, and walking into springvale school was definitely the coolest thing I’ve done.
For anyone whose been to Wasteland Weekend, the first biggest influence is Mad Max, the second- Fallout. It has had a huge influence on the Post-Apocalypse fandom/subculture. From the lexicon to the use of bottlecaps. Tribes and organizations all have bottlecaps printed with their logos that are collected and traded like business cards and the casinos use them as poker chips.

Hbomber guy...anyone else seen that video?
I don't agree with Hbomberguy's political views, but I love him solely because of that video. Everything he says is spot on.

Definitely.
My favorite Fallout 3 memory was learning about fast travel... after 40+hours of gameplay. I will say I discovered a lot of locations traveling on foot everywhere.
I loved little lamp light town and being able to grab the Lincoln repeater while toting the Declaration of Independence that’s what got me into fo3 a buddy was playing and I went back home and booted it up, loved it ever since
My favorite thing to do in Fallout 3, is play Fallout 3. I love exploring, looting, and every in between.
I am new to fallout how the hell does looting work, take everyone's armour or clothes and sell it?
A brilliant game with atmosphere , great and funny dialogue options and Freedom. Now Fallout is watered down and seems to be more about Minecraft than anything else and gone so goofy too. Have you guys seen Waynes world when Waynes world got brought out by that company ? how the intro to Waynes world changed and made cheesy ? that feels like whats happened to Modern Fallout sadly.
When I had just started highschool, I bought an Xbox 360 and I got a second hand copy of Fallout 3 for it. The first time coming out of vault 101 was indescribable. At this moment, I have about 4500 hours logged on the Xbox version alone 😆
The nostalgia, fallout 3 was my fist open world game and it blew my mind
I hope New Vegas gets X enhancements.
I hope it stays on old gen like it deserves, and never to be spoken or played... ever
KimiHeBaStTSBS Why?
bethesda wants the game to go away so we stop reminding them obsidian showed them up with 10 months and no budget for new vegas
F3 had an amazing story and feels to it, NV just puts you out like that on an empty boring world with no introduction to the game, theres a reason why F3 is hugely regognized with GOTY awards and best of prev gen games, heck you called NV and RPG was the first Fallout game that introduced ADS, fuck that ruined so much more
KimiHeBaStTSBS Fallout 3 ducked. NV is superior is every single way
My favorite part of 3 was traveling out of the vault and turning on the radio for the first time. I had never played a fallout game before 3 and was pleasantly surprised to hear people commentating over the radio. This made me want to play the game. I love fallout new vegas' aesthetic and feel but I just couldn't get into it. I felt like I didn't have a reason to leave goodsprings. I also didn't like the town of goodsprings because every single house felt the same and it didn't make me want to explore. I believe fallout 3 has a much better storyline
It may seem simple, but I just like walking around listening to the radio.
One of the fondest gaming memories for me was in 9th grade Hurricane Sandy hit my state. Power was out for two weeks but my parents allowed one of the generator lines to my TV and Xbox. Fallout 3 helped me get through those 2 rough weeks until we were allowed back to school
I really love the Fallout games (4 not as much as the others) but i think the real successor of Fallout 1+2 was Fallout New Vegas.
Fallout: New Vegas is one of the best RPG's ever made. Please make a video on New Vegas!
AvengedKyle
Don't even bother. Gameranx are basically a less retarded IGN.
They're essentially Bugthestards and shills.
AvengedKyle fuq new vegas, 3 is superior, stfu and gtfo if you dont like 3.
I enjoyed both 3 and New Vegas, but I preferred 3. In my opinion, it's down to personal preference: The adventure theme that 3 offers Vs the gritty realism of New Vegas.
New Vegas did offer some gameplay improvements, but what can I say, I'm a bit of a graphics whore.
Fandom Tribal Why do you have so many accounts, on this one video?
F3 is a shooter, if you like shooters go with F3. If you like Fallout series, go with FNV
Another great insightful video! Thanks Gameranx! Falcon for president!
I'll never forget the first night I spent playing this game all night with the lights off getting lost in the subway system. A ghoul ran up on me and didn't make noise till it was in my face and I literally jumped off the couch. It was a great memory of one of my favorite games of all time, let alone the first game I ever got for my Xbox 360.
The entire comment section is debating whether Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas is the best Fallout game. I think there both great games
Had to be New Vegas for me, the Lonesome road changed me
why did that dlc change you, there was like no philosophy
Damien13 Fout Well not really debating. All Fallout fans know New Vegas is way, way better. While all these new Bethesda Fallout fans think 3 is better (somehow)
they are debating, just like you are now, I personally think fallout 3 is way better and I played fallout 1 and 2 first, in fact it seems fallout new vegas fans are the worst, they come and pry on fallout 3 videos and bring up how they think new vegas is better when thats not even what the video is about, like they want people to know they like new vegas when no one gives a shit. fallout 3 should be praised as not only a great game but the game that made the building blocks for nv, people fallout nv tards have to ruin all of the celebration
Vis_Leos I do wonder how did you even play through Fallout 1and 2 if you think 3 is better. 3 fails pretty much at everything that makes a Fallout game.
l really love the details in Fo3,and the story of The Pitt left me a deep
impression.Also FNV is a good game too.
Fallout 3 gives me a weird kinda old feeling when playing it.
I have worked in various libraries for about a decade now and it was for some reason super fun to explore the library in Fallout 3.
First time I played Fallout 3, I didn't realize I had a compass and markers, went left into the wasteland (and a lake, I think), instead of right towards Megaton.
One of the biggest flaws in Fallout 3's design, it treats you like a child and doesn't really let you think for yourself or have intuition. Classic Fallout games had level design and YOU had to figure things out yourself by clues and hints from NPCs. I could remember playing through Fallout 3 my first time and just skipping all dialogue because they were unengaging but I still knew what to do because the quest markers are still there. Just walk from A to B and kill some dudes and stuff and then talk meaningless dialogue and you're done. I was just zoning out whenever I got given a quest marker. All I wanted to do was just explore and that's really the only thing Bethesda is really great at.
Sensei TrashCan
U didnt realize....?
Ah i see now why people like bethesda stuff. They are blind as fuck. Seriously.
Baron Lynchhausen Nah, I just wasn't observant back then.
Sensei Trashcan no dont listen to me im sorry i have multiple fake accounts from my mental disorder
Fallout 3 is so great even with all its flaws
I remember going to a shop and seeing something I really wanted, but couldn't afford, because the first time you play you feel like you're always broke and can't get caps. so I decided to try to steal it even though I hadn't stolen anything so far. But then I had to come up with a way to do it without getting caught because the shopkeeper was always within sight of it. finally I realized I could stack crates in front of me and block her sight, and get away with stealing it. it was so satisfying even though I found a better version of the item just an hour or two later.
I loved the mod "Mothership Zeta Crew". Sadly it was never completed, but it was great to be able to do something with the alien ship you captured besides hang your hat in the captains room
Fallout 3 was alright, but when compared to 4 it's a masterpiece
GIVE ME FALLOUT NEW ORLEANS!!!!!!
I loved getting my hands on the Tribal Power armor in The Pit, pair that with an outcast helmet and you get one hell of a good looking suit. Not to mention that the Metal Blaster is a pretty sick laser Shotgun, gimme that over the standard tribeam that mutant overlords carry anytime I play.
Guess my favorite parts of Fallout 3 were the dark gritty setting, and the sense of humor to match it, but especially the power armor and the Guns.... lots of guns.
I'll never forget the time I went to the super duper mart and I used Vats with the 44 mag close range on a raider. I clicked one time for a head shot. The camera moved to a side view kinda far out showing just the two of us like in a stand off. He aimed for the head and then there was a slight moment of silence. The rider was about to take another shot but the trigger was pulled and his head fucking exploded onto the wall and he just fell to the ground. After the camera went back to first person view. I just stood there in awe. This was early on in my first play through of the game. It was the most epic and brutal thing I experienced in a video game.
