Poll: fallout 3 good game or not

[orangebandguy]

It's not good, it's brilliant.

I have the 360 version, but I would have gotten the PC version if my computer wasn't crap.

I love this game. Get it. Now.

It kept me alive last holidays, and will this holidays (Coupled with Borderlands.)
Just thinking about playing it in a few hours is getting me excited.

It was an amazing game - calling it "good" would be doing it a great injustice. It's not just a game, it's an experience. Personally, it's my favourite title of the current generation (and I've played a lot of games this generation).

I enjoyed it, much more than oblivion. In fact I traded oblivion in for fallout3 XD. I also liked the radio in fallout3, I've put all the songs onto my mp3 player now =) .Once I had levelled up to 20, I went around exploring every nook and cranny just to see the place.

I haven't bought the expansion yet cuz I only recently (2 months ago) "completed" (done what I wanted to do) in the original, and wanted a break from fallout3. But I will be getting one of the expansions soon.

not as good in possibilities as FO2.

Somehow I knew that you are new. I loved it!

I cannot say it's bad, but it's really not my kind of game, especially with the "old retro" theme which hurts my eyes and ears.

But it has decent gameplay, and I should really start playing it again...but I'm in a pinch, no Stimpacks/healing stuff, about 10HP left and I'm being shot at by Super Mutants.

Ah yes, Retro Futurism. I personally love it, but that's preference. As for your pickle, you may want to start a new game, crafting your character with what you learned. I recommend a stealth character.

I found it extremely boring I don't know why but it just seemed empty to me, maybe WRPGs just aren't for me.

It's possible, especially since one of the reasons I loved the game was the emptyness.

Awesome game, best DLC's are Broken Steel and Point Lookout in my opinion.

Don't forget The Pitt, that was pure liquid awesome.

I suppose by todays standards it is a good game. However for those of us with taste it is merely a meh game. Its only saving grace is the fan mods. Without those it would not be worth my time and would be classified as just a reskinned Oblivion minus the creepy dark tone and awesome levelling system.

Your opinion, I know, but...did you just call Oblivion's leveling system awesome? You know, the one that everyone hated because it was a)easy to exploit to make the game too easy and b)allowed no sense of progression?

i think fallout 3 is good personally but i want everyones opinion

It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea....some people might down right hate it. But then again you can say that about every game/movie/song/book/whatever....ever made.


As for me it's in my top five greatest games of all time....

Not the best Fallout game, but a damn good game nonetheless.

And there we have it.

Personally, I found nothing could top the depth of the first two.
But as it stands, it's a knockout title, especially for a sequel.

 

[captainkrunch]

i loved it personally, then again i have always been heavily biased towards bethesda games

Yeah, you know. The one that actually made sense. You swing a sword, you get better at it. You wear heavy armour, you get used to its weight. You pick locks, you get more skilled. You run for miles, you end up fitter.
Not this stupid shoot 27 cockroaches in the face then magically get 3 points to become better.
But you seem to have it backwards. A) People are always bitching about the game getting harder as you level. B) Yes, it actually gave you a sense of progression since you could see your character getting better in the areas you have exercised instead of just having a arbitrary number indicating it.
Oblivions levelling system is the one thing that could have saved F3 and made it interesting.

Not really. There was no progression because enemies leveled with you. You never got any sense of power unless you purposefully under-leveled, and when the only way to get any sense of power is to deliberately avoid leveling, there's a problem with the system (what I was referring to with a). I'll agree that it makes more sense to have your skill increases tied to what you do, that part of the leveling was awesome. It's just that the rest was seriously awful.

Also, going back to your earlier post, you said: "...a reskinned Oblivion minus the creepy dark tone and awesome levelling system." Um...you didn't think FO3 was dark? The impression I got with it was that Fallout was incredibly dark and bleak, and while Oblivion certainly had it's moments, for the most part it was much lighter.

The more I type of this post, however, the clearer it is to me that this is really just a matter of opinion.

 

[Patroclus]

I thought it was a very good game, still trying to get all of the trophies xD I'm about 93% of the way there. So yeah I'd say it's pretty good.

 

[brighteye]

Oblivion was better, but Fallout 3 was still fantastic.

Yep, that about sums it up, now can we get a Oblivion mmo ,pleeease ?

 

[Adanos]

Ye good game. Is different but in a good way. It looks like Oblivion. I hate Oblivion. I love Fallout. lol

 

[Necrofudge]

It's a good game. Along with any other RPG ever made by Bethesda for that matter...

 

[Chaos Theory]

Awwwwwwesome game
