Just be totally honest with no bias one way or the other. Is this a good game?

idk, remake coming soon tho, so it's oldslop

>>715771873 (OP)
It's a masterpiece, along with New Vegas

>>715771873 (OP)

Unironically the game is a 10/10
It separated itself from the awful Mad Max rip off Fallout 1 and 2 were and instead made its own unique ACTUAL post nuclear radioactive apocalypse wasteland.

NV ruined it going back to mad max shit and Fallout 4 is just sunshine and lollypops.
Fallout 3 actually made an interesting settiing, and i will never understand retards who cry about the ending, i get gamers are alergic to sacrifice for the greater good but crying because "wahhh why can't i cheat or bypass the ending by asking a companion to finish the game for me?" it's pathetic.

>>715771873 (OP)
Yes. It isnt a masterpiece or anything, but damn it was fun as hell back in 2008

>>715771873 (OP)
Fallout 3 is remarkably poorly designed with literally useless skills and stats, terrible combat, terrible quests, a terrible story, terrible writing, bad voice acting, horrid animations, fucking disgusting graphics and absolutely no redeeming qualities. It's buggy, the DLC sucks, absolutely nothing about it makes sense. As a gamez it does retroactive damage to its source material. It's a stain on the franchise, and in video games in general.

But you know what's weird? It's oddly compelling to play. Blasting heads off while listening to boppy tunes or the genuinely great ambient music tracks just flows nicely. It's a terrible game but there's something relaxing about it for a while.

>>715771873 (OP)
No and New Vegas is the superior game

>>715772038
You've never played Fallout 1 or 2

>>715771873 (OP)
Unironically yes. The phrase “good game but bad fallout” gets memed on a lot, but it’s got exploration with thought put into it.

It was big online too before New Vegas obliterated and BTFO Bethesda so hard in RPG design it’s impossible to even discuss Fo3 seriously now.

>>715772340
I think a lot of the hate in the first paragraph is honestly overblown, and most of the hate on Fallout 3 in general. The first wave of hate from classic fans was too hysterical to be fair to it, and Hbomberguy’s video just cemented a contrarian community into being around Fo3. It is impossible to give the game a fair shake without someone going into a fit over it now and exaggerating how bad Fallout 3 is for theatrics. It’s bad but not “that” bad. And if it had no merits it wouldn’t have spawned a new fanbase that showed up for New Vegas’s launch and it even had classic fans that liked Fallout 3. The original Bethesda Fallout 3 forums had moderators who used to run older fallout fansites like Duck and Cover. So some people did tolerate the transition.

>>715772340
Your first part is full of lies created by Troon Vegays fags literal Troon disinformation to slander the game, Chadout 3 is a masterpiece and one of the best games ever made.
But in your second part you admit it's a fun to play so in your heart you know it's a good game but you can't admit that cause you know that the Obshitian contrarian troon hordes will attack you for it.

>>715771873 (OP)
Yes. It completely saved the Fallout franchise from being lost to the dustbin of history and turned it into one of gaming's most iconic franchises.

>>715773417

I played both and they were boring garbage.

>>715773978
Most of the perks in Fallout 3 are useless skill upgrades. It's lack of weapon variety also make the Lincoln Repeater and the Dart Gun the only weapons worthwhile late game. It's a poorly designed RPG, but it does do a better job than 1&2 at making all the skills actually useful

>>715774156

>>715773259
Chadout 3 is far superior to that of Troonout Neo Vagina

>>715771873 (OP)
No
Even if we assume that it's not a bad game it's made completely obsolete by Fallout 4 and NV that do everything exactly the same but much better
The only acceptable way to play Fallout 3 is TTW with mods that completely remove the story if you just want to shoot stuff

>>715774369
>Fallout 3 is TTW
Lmao and be stuck using Woke propaganda mods by breadtubers like Kyle Marshiku no way fag.
The best way to play Chadout 3 is on the original PC release and Game of the year. Plus it's not obsolete it's far superior to that of Troon Vegays and is better than Chadout 4 as well.

>>715771873 (OP)
yep

>>715774369
It was a good game for 2008. I remember playing it on release and thought this was insane that a game could do what it was doing at the time and be so vast. Obviously now it’s barely playable with how obvious its problems and bland writing is. Back then the dumb bland caricature characters felt more memorable but now feel one-note.

>>715771873 (OP)
Yeah.
I can't say the same for Fallout 4

>>715771873 (OP)
It's OK.

>>715774738
You're so boring

Absolutely not
Fallout 3 ran terribly on old hardware and 2000's had some great games

Name one thing that Fallout 3 does better than Fallout 4.

>>715771873 (OP)
it's bethesda's best attempt at least
yes i know how low that bar is

>>715774738
I don't get what this picture is trying to show. There's extra third party mods that require TTW, and you don't like them?

>>715774963
>Name one thing that Fallout 3 does better than Fallout 4.
be a fallout game

>>715775119
Please elaborate
I don't see how Fallout 4 is less of a Fallout game than 3. F4 actually has more references and continuations of ideas from past ideas than F3 does

>>715771873 (OP)
I liked everything except main quest. Also, DLCs are great. Total opposite of FNV, where the main quest is the best part and DLCs are shit.

>>715771873 (OP)
Objectively speaking, it isn't.

>>715771873 (OP)
Yeah it's alright.

>>715775345
>DLCs are great
I refuse to believe I live in the same world as retards like this
It must be bots or trolls

>>715774202
Chadout 3 has more weapons than Goldeneye it has plenty of weapons some of them are incredibly unique and fun as well like the rock-it-launcher, death claw gauntlets, incinerators, shishkebab, nuka grenades, bottle cap mines, alien weapons especially the Firelance, Chinese assault rifles, flamethrowers, mini guns, cryo-mines yes mines that actually freeze how's that not unique for you, mining tools, vampire edge, samurai sword, nuke weapons like the experimental MIRVA so many that I can't even think of them all and if I did I would be here all day.

>>715771873 (OP)
The atmosphere is fantastic and the art style is decent. Its just a shame the story is so weak. Its the scariest most immersive fallout game. Point Lookout is peak

>>715771873 (OP)
it's good

>>715775442
Point Lookout and The Pitt are literally top notch, only shadowed by Far Harbor.

>>715775476
Okay, and they are so badly balanced there's no reason to use any of them.

>>715774963
>>715775308
>Name one thing that Fallout 3 does better than Fallout 4.
nta
It does the world and storytelling better than the rest of series bar the ending.
The appeal of the series is the setting and exploration the game is just good at giving you things to do which are interesting and it has many memorable moments the only way I can describe the difference is fallout 4 is pussified in comparison fallout 3 was a brutal game with choices the player makes results in killing multiple towns and even direct enslavement of npcs. This is not allowed in any fallout past 3 they've got no edge.

>>715774738
lol fucking faggots

>>715774156
you didn't play the games, fucking bitch faggot zoomer.

>>715775308
it's really easy when you look at both as rpgs, fallout 4 is a shooter first, rpg second and i'm being really generous with the latter
your decisions don't matter, your dialogue is three yes's and a no that just means yes but later
the main story is an inverse of 3 but with even more lobotomized logic
you can't be anything but good 99% of the time, and the only time you can be evil is in a dlc that has you invading your own settlements for no real reason other than muh raiders
the weapon loot sucks and it's lazy, recycled models with different names and stats
etc

>>715771873 (OP)
Compared to NV or 4, no, it is not a good game. When it first came out it was considered very flawed but had a lot of novelty value.

If you were to pick it up and play it today after having been exposed to modern gaming qol and basic development expectations, you would probably find yourself irritated and frustrated by a great many things.

As other have said, some of the art direction and set pieces are quite good and very atmospheric, but ultimately the sheer stupidity of the rpg mechanics/game systems and the retarded storytelling will grate on you.

It's worth a playthrough I suppose.

>>715775536
The Pitt has cool introduction and concept but the damn location is so fucking small.

No. Bethesda killed Fallout.

>>715771873 (OP)
Its alright, the story is shit and the enemies are bullet sponges, but the exploration is fun. If you mod it to triple weapon damage across the board it becomes a pretty good game.

>>715771873 (OP)
Probably Bethesda's magnum opus.

>>715775708
I felt like everything happened too quickly, but I did like looking for ingots, letting the trogs in and the ethical decision in the end

>>715775536
>Point Lookout
Another puke green worldmap with a shitty main quest and bullet sponge rednecks. And none of the new weapons are fun to use.

>The Pitt
Has practically no content except a fucking scavenger hunt and the map is pathetically small. Also the main quest is retarded and strangely pro-slavery.

>>715775536
>Point Lookout
Very short and mostly forgettable. It's not bad, but I wouldn't call it even close to great. And you can play it in Fallout 4 these days
>The Pitt
You people really should replay it.
90% of it is just collecting ingots and arena fights while the other 10% is pretty good but it's literally 3 short quests
>>715775563

Have any of you even played these games?
I feel like I'm talking to bots that repeat the same deliberately false opinions over and over again
Fallout 4 is deliberately trying to copy NV in everything having multiple endings and choices in most quests and to say that it is more linear than Fallout 3 (truly completely linear game) is complete nonsense

>>715776034
>Have any of you even played these games?
i mean have you? everything I said is there.
it's alright if you like this game so much, you like shooters more than rpgs
some people have simple tastes, but don't get it twisted that it's a good representation of a fallout game
cause it's not

>>715771873 (OP)
for its time? sure. But there are some glaring fucking flaws in the story and flow. still a game I have a fond memory over where I went to the shopping mall or some shit and murdered some raiders only to be murdered by a super mutant giant. Thanks Todd.

>>715771873 (OP)
If you're fine with the annoying bullet sponges, yeah, it's fine if you just wanna dick around and shoot stuff
Either play Fallout 3 and put up with shitty gunplay or play Fallout 4 and want to gouge your eyes out

Yeah, magnum opus of shit.

>>715776007
Unironically, which is kinda sad.

>>715773978
Are you implying Fallout 3 isn't hideous?

>>715775085
It shows that mods for TTW are made by actual breadtube faggots whereas Chadout 3 mods were really cool.
Kyle Marshiku's mods make the slavers white cause having black slavers is racist, makes your sister from another TTW mod black cause the model used for your mother in the opening birth scene is black to keep her silhouetted then he complains that your sister is voiced by a white woman which is racist to him cause he thinks white actors can't voice act black characters, he also removes the word retard from anything that has it through patches cause he's triggered by that word cause he is retarded and he made a foggy mod all about preventing Chadout 4 by killing Arthur Maxwell and even includes a whole list of Fascists in FO3 and NV for you to kill as an antifa fag roleplay.

>>715776016
This is literally my favorite weapon in the whole series, it becomes one of my main weapons in every game

>>715776232
>>715776383
The game is lightning in a bottle. They resurrected a dead franchise, transcended the formula into 3D, retained the atmosphere and aesthetics, and innovated the gunplay. It's not sad at all, it's just hard to decide between FO3 which is like Ocarina of Time, and Fallout 4 which is like Breath of the Wild.

The game has sovl. OK? something you can understand? NV and 4 do not have the same attention to detail and variety 3 had. Imo this makes it the best of the series. I did not like NV it just didn't hit the same and 4 was just NV with more gays and less shit to do.

>>715776602
how trooned out you gotta be to type that

>>715771873 (OP)
It's way better than oblivion thats for fucking sure.
People used to call it oblivion with guns but after recently playing that dogshit I realized that that saying was really unfair to fo3.

>>715776182
Nothing you said makes sense, it's literally a repetition of ‘Fallout 4 is not a real RPG’ which is simply not true
>your decisions don't matter
Fallout 4 has more significant decisions than Fallout 3 does. You don't have the typical ending slides, but you can experience a lot of the consequences directly
> your dialogue is three yes's and a no that just means yes but later
The vast majority of Fallout 3 (and NV) dialogues are about the same.
>the main story is an inverse of 3 but with even more lobotomized logic
Fallout 4 story makes a lot more sense than F3
>you can't be anything but good 99% of the time
To some extent. There are times when you can be evil. Not that Fallout 3 was any better, the entire main quest basically forces you to be good no matter that you literally ate a child just now
>the weapon loot sucks and it's lazy
Yeah
>recycled models with different names and stats
So you really haven't played the game and think it's like Borderlands. I completely missed that line the first time I read it but now it's very obvious that you haven't even played Fallout 4
>>715776697
Don't you get tired of it?

Why does every single fallout thread turn into a faggot posting about trannies

>>715776034
>The Pitt
Insanely good, I think it would be great to start the game there in lieu of a living in a vault segment, if even as an additional character creation option. Escaping the microcosm of the wastes into the actual wastes would be quite the experience.
>Point Lookout
Is really cool, but I felt it shouldn't have been so high level zone. That entire drug sequence was pulled straight from Fallout 3, and it still lands when you're invested in the whole game.

>>715776470
>They resurrected a dead franchise
You mean "took a crpg franchise for nerds, misunderstood it entirely, turned it into a shallow open world looter shooter then sold it to normalfags who never knew the franchise existed in the first place"? Sure.

I'm surprised I've never seen retards complaining that your Mom is canonically black in fallout 3

>>715775547
Their really fun weapons and it's really cool experimenting with different crazy weapons. I never used the dart gun or the Lincoln Revolver and I found all the many other unique weapons to be great fun.
Plus weapons aren't just for combat have you ever placed a hundred mines for someone to walk into so they get blown literally sky high? Or did you see that hilarious machinima where the annoying man gets powerfisted off Tenpenny Tower?
Also it gives plenty ways to roleplay play as a character who specialises in different weapons the possibilities are endless.
If you play like a munchkin and only choose the most powerful weapon or build you miss out on so much.

>>715775563
>It does the world and storytelling better than the rest of series bar the ending.
What makes you say that? I think they nailed classic Fallout. Idk if anyone knows this but Fallout 1 & 2 end at the end, they don't just let the ending not matter in theme and impact. Bethesda knocked it out of the park, but low iq people reeeee'd because they wanted an out, in order to just keep no lifing quests on the same save.

>>715776857
Trannies are the only ones who care about this game series anymore.

>>715776697
>fallout 3 had soul
Please just stay on Reddit. Good fucking lord, are we gonna have normalfag retards like you in like 20 years claiming that Fortnite was "sovl"?

It was great when I was 12, but now I'm ambivalent.
It's hard to call it "bad", since there are so few games that do remotely similar things to Bethesda's, let alone do it better.
> Fallout 1 and 2 are just not comparable, good or bad. It's apples to oranges.
> New Vegas is an upgrade in numerous ways, but the tone is different.
> Fallout 4 has MUCH better combat and not a single worthwhile quest.
> The Elder Scrolls are an entirely different setting.

It's so bad in so many ways, though.
> The writing has nonsense plots, bad worldbuilding, and paper-thin characters.
> It barely runs on modern machines. It's the only game that crashes so bad I have to unplug my computer.
> The combat was bad in 2008 and it's aging like milk.
> The RPG mechanics barely matter.
Despite all that, it's still fun to roam around and stumble into weird little adventures.
Hopefully somebody figures out how to make Fallout 3 but good someday.

Fallout 1 & 2 also give massive choice in how you end the game at least 1 does where 3 forces to do exactly what the script writers wanted to happen. It stopping at the end isn't an inherent problem, the lack of choice or logic is

the vast majority of Fallout 3 and especially New Vegas aren't simply meaningless dialogue options for the sake of checking a quest box, there's next to no diverging options with the choices you make in fallout 4, there's actual dialogue trees with karma checks that effect your reputation in the formers

>Megaton conversations are conversations between NPCs that occur in Megaton in Fallout 3. These are, for the most part, dynamically-occurring and make use of randomized prompts and responses. All such dynamic conversations are implemented in the ConvMegaton quest. For named characters, individual dynamic conversations have been arbitrarily numbered for organization, and scripted conversations are listed separately. Conversations for generic characters, as well as shared dialogue, are organized with each set of prompt/response lines occupying a distinct header. In the format below, a character named in a header is the person who initiates the conversations listed below the header.

It's decent. But it also doesn't really do anything all that well, NV despite the one insane schizo-poster is superior in more or less every way. And if you get into 1-2 you start to hate it's writing and lore since it's so lackluster, stupid, wrong and bland in comparison.

It's a game that was great in a vacuum, but now with sequels and people having played the originals, it really doesn't stack up all that well.
I like how it expanded on the retrofuturism and art deco influences however, is a fun aesthetic.

It's no masterpiece and NV is better but it's at bare minimum a 7 or 8 out of ten. Main story is dog shit but it has some entertaining quests and this is the one time Bethesda at least tried to 'get' Fallout. Massively overhated.

I've seen fags claim that Fallout 3 had incredible atmosphere and I have no idea what they're talking about. Gamebryo is such an ugly engine that makes the world looks plasticky, artificial and devoid of any possible atmosphere. The original Stalker came out around the same time and it's so much better atmosphere wise that it's not even funny.

I'm not gonna pretend NV is some masterpiece of writing or RPG design. There are plenty of retarded things in it, same with 1-2 for that matter. Fallout and post-apocalyptic worlds in general has always been pretty stupid and retarded. But at the end of the day, it's just a better version of F3.

My main issues last time I tried to run it a few years ago:
> It crashes if you have a second monitor of a different resolution.
> It crashes if it's running above 60 FPS during the baby scene.
I could get those fixed by turning off the monitor and installing a framerate-limiter mod, but if I remember right, it still crashed frequently, and I just gave up.
I wonder if the GOTY version runs better.

I'm not writing a term paper, dickhead. I'm saying my opinion on 4chan about a game I last beat 15 years ago.

The concrete structure of the dam would probably last for thousands of years without maintenance. The internal power generation system would shut down after 2 years but it's comparatively simple to fix if you have the technical knowledge.

I can tell you just about anything you want to know, honey. Megaton's history ain't no secret.
What's this place made of? Long ago, before the war, there used to be machines they were like buses, but they flew through the sky, taking people anywhere they wanted to go. You didn't have to walk, you just went to the air station, bought a ticket, and took to the skies. Anywhere in the world, you just up and flew there. When the war happened, the machines started dropping from the sky. Everyone around here thinks that the bomb made the crater, but it didn't. The crater provided good cover from the dust storms and when my daddy and the rest of the town decided to build the walls, they used what they had.

So why didn't they move the bomb? Some of us wanted to. But the Church of Atom was just getting its start then. We needed their help to build the walls and clear the wreckage. If we'd have tried to move the bomb, they would have refused to help. Besides, a lot of people just wanted to leave it alone. It didn't seem to be hurting anything and who knows what would happen if we messed with it.

There are a lot of parts here for just one machine. Good eye. You're right honey, there are. There was an air station a couple of miles from here. It'd been stripped of everything except the planes. My daddy got a bunch of people together to go out there, break apart the machines and drag back what we could use. It took 'em a couple of months. You can't even tell where the air station was anymore. The Wasteland just took it back.

>>715777910
Why build the walls out of some old flying machine? It's a hell of a lot easier than trying to find enough parts to build walls and houses from nothing.
The scrap was there, why not use it? Besides, it's sturdy. It keeps the Raiders and the dust storms out. Not all of us had the luck to be born in a vault, you know.

How did the town start? Well, originally, it started as a hole in the ground. My papi talked about how his father and the original settlers just hid in this crater. It was enough to keep them safe from the dust storms. When things cooled down and people started wandering into the Wastes, some stayed behind. The wanderers started coming back here to trade their stuff. By the time my papi was born, the town was a full on trading center. Papi got rich on the caravan routes and eventually convinced the others to build the walls to hold off the Raiders.

Why did they build the walls? Well, the Raiders, for one. Once the town got big enough, they'd wait until the traders and their guards were away, then come in and clean us out! Now the Super Mutants... They were a whole other breed of problem. They'd kill us if they had to, but mostly they tried to drag people away! Alive! So, eventually, my father did something about it. Him and a few others organized the traders and the citizens and built the walls. So we're pretty safe now. Still, I wish those Brotherhood of Steel fellers hadn't hit on such hard times. They really helped keep the wolves at bay.

So it was just a collection of traders in the beginning? Not at first. It was a collection of people trying to get into the vault, people worshipping the bomb, and a few other refugees. Then the traders came. Now the caravans take care of most of the trading, but before they were set up, it was all Megaton. I worked on the caravans with my father for a while. That's how I met that worthless bag of liver spots I call a husband.

>>715771873 (OP)
It's okay. If there was a definition for a 6/10 game in the dictionary, Fallout 3 would be the image for it. The story and worldbuilding are kind of weak, but a lot of the quests are quite fun. Most of the world is wasted on locations you have zero reason to visit without randomly exploring as the plot and most of the sidequests were designed with only around 60% of the map in mind (the map was enlarged pretty late in development). It's a better RPG than Fallout 4, but an absolutely weaker game than Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas.

>>715777824
>Why does your Dad not want the GECK to fall into the Enclaves hands?
They intend to use it to kill everyone who has ever been radiated.
>Why does he sabotage his own purifier?
It's better than letting it fall into control of the Enclave.
>Why is it bad for the Enclave to turn on the GECK and purify the river?
They intend to kill everyone and rule the wasteland with an iron fist.

>>715778139
It's a slapstick comedy hour of Fallout 3 with hacky gun mods slapped on. It's literally the pseud choice.

Do you like?

>>715778908
>>715778908
So to protect themselves from dust storms that don't exist they spent months dragging airplane parts to build walls around a crater with a working nuke. And nobody thought to settle in Springvale despite having intact buildings.

>>715779057
>It's a slapstick comedy hour of Fallout 3 with hacky gun mods slapped on
And that is bad? Why are you pretending like F3 is some sort of deep atmospheric masterpiece and not just generic silly post-apocalyptic slop like the rest of the franchise?

It's meh. I remember liking it less than Oblivion (which already isn't good).

>>715779202
Fallout 3 IS an atmospheric masterpiece, and New Vegas has been overrated so as to supplant it. If you want more whacky and more gunplay, and even more build back civilization then Fallout 4 once again mogs NV.

>>715779202
>generic silly post-apocalyptic slop like the rest of the franchise
NTA, but play Fallout 1 and tell me it's a silly, goofy game. I'd also say Fallout 2, but it's more post-post apocalypse, as people have moved on and started rebuilding the world in earnest by that point in the timeline.
There's a real argument for how Bethesda has shifted the tone of the series into a less serious direction.

>>715779337
F1 one is probably the most serious and atmospheric of the bunch, but let's not pretend that the setting itself isn't silly. With it's mad max ripoffs, super mutants, laser guns, robed cults, wacky dialogue and what have you.

>>715779015
>They intend to use it to kill everyone who has ever been radiated.
>They intend to kill everyone and rule the wasteland with an iron fist.

Except nobody knows about the FEV sample and eden's plan to infect the purifier. Only the player does because eden literally tells us that near the end.

>It's better than letting it fall into control of the Enclave.
James knows next to nothing about the enclave except whatever plays on their radio station. When they show up and demand he help them with the purifier he lies and stonewalls them despite his entire motivation being giving all the ungrateful retards in DC clean water.

>the ending was extremely shit and retarded

>>715771873 (OP)
You have to look at it for what it actually does and what it is. It’s an RPG, but right out of the gate it cripples you by having a character with a set backstory. Very little room for character building or anything like that. Then you have the world itself, rather poorly made with many different issues that pop up throughout. Then there is the story itself, it also has issues, plot holes, poor writing choices, etc. Combat is solid and the weapons are fine. Art design is also well done as well as music and general ambiance. It’s a game with good ideas and concepts that was made by people that lacked the ability to capitalize on them for one reason or another. There is a large disconnect between various elements of the game. And at times it seems to make the player fill a role that they did not intend for their character to play or fill. I like it enough, it’s fine. I would recommend it to someone that doesn’t play RPGs as a beginner game to let them get to know it.

>>715779296
Bethesda is really good at making a decently fun world to explore, but Fallout 3 isn't really a masterpiece by any stretch of the horizon.
The soundtrack is way too over the top and the orchestral style doesn't fit Fallout in my opinion. I do like the art direction of the game, since it was rather faithful to the original games, barring the green filter everywhere.
The main quest's plot and writing is poorly done and absolutely railroaded into the player always being a good guy no matter what and the sidequests, while many of them good, there are very little of them compared to even Bethesda's Elder Scrolls games, let alone the classic Fallout games.
The idea that Fallout 3 is some unsung masterpiece is just contrarian shitposting to own the New Vegas troons.
Is Fallout 3 a bad game? No, not really. Is it a good game? No, not really. It's a pretty average late-2000s game and wasn't even the best game Bethesda put out during that time period.

>>715779564

I'm not saying it was realistic, but Fallout *felt* bleak. Yeah, it had elements of whimsy, but it was all played very straight.

>>715779564
Sure, for it's problems it's still a fun game.
Although I would recommend running it though A Tale of Two Wastelands if you can bother setting it up.

>>715779645

Without bias? And no trolling? It was an okay "oblivion with guns" type of game that scratched the itch of "oblivion but with guns". The graphics are ugly but serviceable, the gunplay was barely useable, the quests were uninspired, the worldbuilding was cartoonish when existent, and the RPGs mechanics were barely present. But it was an open-world Bethesda style game with guns in a time when it was the dream of everyone to get one such game.

It is still remembered fondly by many people, including me, in a

>I know the gameplay is shit
>the graphics are horrendous
>none of the worldbuilding works

Fallout 1 and 2 fans expected better from the franchise, and I understand that giving how middling it objectively is, but for me it worked.

I think a lot of the discourse around Fallout 3 nowadays is similar to the discourse around Dark Souls 2: a lot of trolling, and childish, insecure people unable to make the distinction between "I had fun" and "this game is objectively good".

Can FO3-Jeet give his opinions on FO1 and 2?

Also even if there were would it matter there isn't dungeons or truly unique locations to use your weapons in like there is in Chadout 3 cause the Devs are hippy faggot who hate 'murder dungeons'.

Honesly you'd probably enjoy the isomentric games the most. They encourage the kind of "using sets of skills to accomplish goals" kind of gameplay while also setting up certain kinds of builds, similar to SS2 and Deus Ex. F3 and NV can also do this but its not as dependent on it.

Why are fallout/elder scrolls fans like this

“It killed Fallout”
How can something be ‘killed’ when it’s an amorphous idea that can be changed at will? An idea is alive whenever people think about it and can be whatever you want it to be.

>>715775823
Yet 4 years later New Vegas came out and “un-killed” Fallout until a TV show “”killed it again”” that is perfectly fine to ignore.

>>715784189

another reason not to trust this photograph as canon. there's also no option regardless to make your character mixed, there's only 4 races in the game to choose from. james will adopt the race of whatever you chose for your character anyway

Id say fonv fans are the equivalent of dragon dogma fans when talks of rpgs come up. But that'd be dishonest because unlike fonv dogma atleast does a few things of note. Meanwhile fonv is just a copy paste of 3 with more yellow and brown than green and gray.
