War Never Changes

Fallout 3 is a post-apocalyptic computer and console role-playing game developed and published by Bethesda Softworks as the third installment in the Fallout series and a sequel to Interplay's Fallout and Fallout 2. It was released on October 28 in North America, and on October 31 in Europe on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, in the year 2277, on the East Coast of what used to be the United States of America, following The Great War between the US and China, a conventional and nuclear war that occurred on October 23, 2077 and lasted less than two hours despite causing immense damage and destruction. The gameplay features include real-time combat and first or third person perspective, in contrast to the previous games, which were turn-based and isometric.

The Player is a young inhabitant of Vault 101, a fallout shelter in the Washington D.C. area. The vault has reportedly been sealed for 200 years until the player's father opens the only door to the outside world and disappears without any explanation. (read all)

Desolated and forgotten it looks like the scene from post apocalyptic "Mad Max" movie. Photo post processing adds even more drama. Post Apocalyptic photography is already sweet. But Fallout 3 is the greatest invention since sliced bread.

Fallout 3: Tools of Survival Trailer 

At about 1:15 he says something about custom weapons, not just putting like lasers and masterkeys on the weapon. What he means is that you can find spare parts lying around and make a wepon with it. B.A.D.A.S.S. I just made the "Rock-it Launcher" earlier today, and I'm still shooting people in the head with plates, coffee mugs, and baseballs.

Poll: Which version of Fallout 3 Did You Get? 

I usually don't buy single player games on release day but in this case I pre-ordered the PC Collectors Edition a couple of weeks ago, with metal lunchbox and Vault-boy figurine. I intend to play the hell out of this game. This one is supposed to last over 50 hours and has several different possible endings. The experience will change depending on how you play the game - as a good or bad character.

Not Your Parents' Fallout 

Fallout 3 represents Bethesda Softworks' first take of the legendary game franchise since they purchased the rights from the failing Interplay in 2004. So, how did Bethesda do? Forget all that pre-release apprehension. Nuts to those Internet nerds whining about shooter elements. Whether it's slap-stick humor, a splat of sticky brains, or a stab of HDR lighting in your eyes, Fallout 3 invigorates the series.

Fallout 3 vs Oblivion 

Oblivion and fallout 3 are quite similar in many ways. They run on the same engine. Which of those two you like more would likely come down to setting. Do you like fantasy, or a post apocalyptic wasteland? 2 VERY awesome games.....Tough choice, no doubt.

If you could ONLY get one, which one would it be?

oblivion has so much more to offer than fallout and each and every quest/mission is original and not as repetitive as fallouts, also the map is much larger and oblivion looks so much better than fallout

Comments 

In essence, Fallout 3 is Oblivion with a sci-fi/post-apocalyptic skin on it. New players will greatly enjoy the game if they liked Bethesda's previous game, Oblivion, or if they had fun with 2K Game's Bioshock. In my view, Fallout 3 is definitely worth playing - it just isn't the Fallout fans of the franchise might be expecting.
