Eurogamer: Fallout 3 Review

Eurogamer writes: "Fallout 3 is such an embarrassment of riches, it's hard to know where to begin. The news is definitely good though, because whichever way you stack it up it qualifies as a landmark game. Like BioShock and Oblivion, unpicking its merits is something of a Gordian knot. But that is, of course, precisely its charm.

The bedrock, as you would hope, is the game's immensely well-realised and beautiful openworld. Arty, varied and epic, it's crafted with attention to detail, housing secrets, lies, hopeless ambition and revenge. The Capital Wasteland has a palpable sense of place, where even the more obscure backwaters hide pleasing diversions, intriguing characters and curious sub-plots."

Sounds like it's best played on Ps3

read disc error5684d ago

with the exception that there is some major exclusive DLC for the 360 version.

PirateThom5684d ago

Will this be like the GTAIV exclusive downloadable content?

Well, you might have the Fallout 3 DLC by 2010 at this rate!

InMyOpinion5684d ago

Imagine how many gimped versions of games the PS3 will have in 2010!

The damage control will be enormous when someone decides to do a video comparison.

Tmac5684d ago

Video comparison all you want, that still won't get your crappy system Killzone 2 and the best graphics to boot lol.

and definitely getting the exclusive 360 DLC, too.

n4gzz5684d ago

Eurogamer is joke. Most biased site I ever seen. Right there with Kotaku.

robotnik5684d ago

I dont care about Eurogamer reviews.

edhe5684d ago

Please find an example of their bias in order to prove your statement, if you can then bubbles up, if not then bubbles down for slander \o/

morganfell5684d ago

Let's see:

1 - Scenes of a destroyed America

2 - Some of the dumbest AI in a game

IT'S A 10!

callahan095684d ago

Yeah, their reviews have been killing me lately.

I got Fallout 3 last night and played it a couple of hours, and I love it, but so far I wouldn't be able to justify giving it a 10. The graphics are awesome, but that's just polygons and textures. When you take it all in at once, it really doesn't look very pretty. It's desolate, gray and ugly. It does a beautiful job of representing that, but I know I'll get really sick of looking at it before long.

I'm thinking maybe a 9. Maybe by the time I get to the end I'll have a different opinion and I could agree with this 10, but I know for a FACT FACT FACT that they should've given LittleBigPlanet a 10. That is the game of the year, of the generation, of all time as far as I'm concerned. The possibilities are limitless. The single-player story is great fun. The unlockables are insane. The online gameplay is great, the level creating and sharing is immense. It's infinite. It's absolutely beautiful. It's FUN. It's perfect.

I can't even imagine where the hell they pulled that 10 / 10 for Fable 2 out of their collective ass.

No facts, minus bubbles.

But u know i guess its because im one of those gamers who didnt really enjoy Oblivion as much as others. What can i say, it jus didnt interest me as much as Rpgs, like FF, Fable, Mass Effect, and others did. Who knows i might like it wen i rent it and give it a test run, but as of ryt now im happy wid da other holiday offerings. Glad 2 see all the positive reviews its getting though, and if they're n e indication, it looks like this thing is gonna run away wid da GOTY award.

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z1d 19h ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

gold_drake1d 19h ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies25d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken25d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6926d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker26d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6926d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt25d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken25d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
