You may have repressed it, but I did say I'd be back with one last round of reviews to bind them all, and it is this one.
CanardPC, 5/10.<blockquote>At the time of posing a note, I flippe a little. I hesitate. On a side, the last play of Bethesda is filled of unbearable tricks which make me foam rage. Other, it badly guarantees to step world much of hours of discovered and relaxation. Without counting that a true fan of Fallout will perhaps find there a half-dozen of hours worthy of the love of his life. Only, that would hurt me to stick an high note: the good one or the excellent note, it will deserve it when it will be moddé within six months-a year. And it is to the moddeurs that it will be decreed, not with Bethesda.</blockquote>Gamecritics never did review Fallout 3, like a bunch of other sites that said they would, although they did review Operation Anchorage...<blockquote>Although players expecting a new cast of characters to interact with and another vast stretch of territory to explore may be disappointed, I found this focused revamp to be a welcome change of pace and a very interesting addition to a game already brimming with quality content.</blockquote>... as well as The Pitt.<blockquote>Honestly, I didn't feel as though the depth of choice so prevalent in many of the other quests was as fleshed-out as it could have been; up until the end, I kept waiting for more dialogue options and path branches that never appeared. Even worse, the adventure will likely be over in about two hours unless players decide to partake of the absolutely tedious fetch quest sending them off in search of 100 items scattered throughout a dark and confusingly laid-out segment of Pittsburgh. It's a terribly unimaginative and tedious way to add playtime, and I consider it quite beneath the standard of what I would expect in Fallout.</blockquote>VG Chartz gave the game 8.3 in their PC review (compared to 8.2 in their console review), but the text is the same.<blockquote>some quote that is the same</blockquote>Maximum PC, 8.<blockquote>The world is astounding, there are dozens of side quests, and the combat is fun. Unfortunately, Fallout 3 is far from perfect. This may sound a bit whiny, but the main quest just doesn’t feel special. Part of the problem is that the side quests are universally of a very high quality. Still, we expect the main quest to deliver the most drama, excitement, and wonder in the game, and it doesn’t.</blockquote>PopMatters, second review, 9/10.<blockquote>A mature RPG should possess the power to provoke us with thoughtful storytelling delivered through gameplay that amplifies or enriches that narrative and encourages discovery and self-directed play. For this to occur, the game world must feel alive and inviting to the player, suggesting possibilities that loom somewhere out there, waiting for you to discover them on your own. This is precisely where Fallout 3 shines brightest.
All things considered, Fallout 3 is probably the best game released in 2008. I don’t think it quite deserves the unqualified, hyperbolic praise heaped on it by the majority of the games press, but it ought to be acknowledged for the lofty achievement it represents. It would be hard to imagine a video game released with more skepticism and preconceived judgment aimed at it than the sequel to one of the most beloved and fiercely defended RPGs (Fallout 1&2) in history. That this game silenced almost all its skeptics (I was one of them) may be its most remarkable achievement of all.</blockquote>Prime +, 96%.<blockquote>Game play: It literally doesn’t get any better than this.
Fanboyism: While there are very minor setbacks, the entire package is remarkable. The things I don’t like are heavily outweighed by the sheer amount of content and depth. I feel Bethesda has gone to great lengths to make Fallout 3 a fun, profound, and rewarding experience. It really feels like the super RPG that Bethesda is known for. While I’ve never played an original Fallout game (and I sympathize for fans of previous installments) I highly recommend F3 to any RPG fan.</blockquote>GamesBrasil, 7.6/10.<blockquote>In short, the game if shows sufficiently competent and very amused. It is, in fact, an obligator heading in the bookshelf of that they are fans of the Fallout series, or same of other RPGs as Oblivion. The diversion is guaranteed, the least, until the fulfilment of great part of the game, which sufficiently offers to new features and interatividade during the day.</blockquote>GameLemon, 9.2.<blockquote>As if all the intense violence and depressing atmosphere weren't enough to lead most gamers to (A.) begin serious self-evaluation, or (B.) be sent to bed with no dinner, there is still the matter of graphics and sound. This isn't like the old Doom, where you could just turn a corner and watch a monster explode into various shades of red pixels; the guy you just blew up really does look, sound, scatter and bounce like a guy that just blew up... and he probably looks like someone you know.
Just about every screenshot you find of this game will tell you that Fallout 3 is a shooter, but there's more here for the RPG buffs if V.A.T.S. isn't enough. There is character customization to a ridiculous extent (e.g. amount of cleft in chin, etc.), as well as base stats, level ups, and a massive skill tree.</blockquote>Gamertell, two thumbs up, 90, A- and 4/5.<blockquote>The VATS system works like a charm showing you your attempts to kill enemies in slow motion. If you do enough damage, or have done enough already, you do get quite a beautiful execution scenes that may have limbs or a head flying off your target. The one complaint that can be made is that it might slow down gameplay, but due to the artistry and how helpful it can be, it’s worth a slight slowing of gameplay.
The game is a great and worth the money. Sure, it does have its rough spots. However, this is a shining example of what a “next-gen” RPG and FPS should be.</blockquote>
