The game is set within a post-apocalyptic, open world environment that encompasses a scaled region consisting of the ruins of Washington, D.C., and much of the countryside to the north and west of it, referred to as the Capital Wasteland. It was released worldwide in October 2008 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The game marks a major shift in the series by using 3D graphics and real-time combat, replacing the 2D isometric graphics and turn-based combat of previous installments.
The third major installment in the Fallout series, it is the first game to be created by Bethesda since it bought the franchise from Interplay Entertainment. Hopefully in the future they'll add steam achievements to the game but I doubt it.Īside from the lack of achievements, the matter of it not being optimised for the newer OS's resulting in more than a few crashes and the fact that it's graphically dated, this is still an amazing game, worth adding to your library at least.Fallout 3 is a 2008 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Unfortunately, there's no achievements, any sense of achievement hunting was removed in the update that got rid of GfWL. Each one is something completely different and enjoyable like hell. Probably the best parts though, are the varying DLC's. With many landmarks like the Washington Monument, the Capitol Building, Abraham Lincoln Memorial just to name a few. Something that is lacking in other 3D Fallout games aside from Fallout: New Vegas.Ī decent sized map, which requires a decent amount of exploration of a unique location, Washington D.C.
Secondly, the writing and setting, is far superior to Fallout 4 & 76, where it actually gives you a reason to start fighting the bad guys other than just a single-minded purpose, and that's to provide clean water to the Capital Wasteland. Those guys needs to get their priority's straight.Īnyways, on to the subject at hand, although graphically dated, this game is my favourite Fallout, for multiple reasons.įor starters, it was the first Fallout game I played, which got me into the series of Fallout games in general, so it has the nostalgia effect. It took Bethesda 10 years just to remove Games for Windows Live (GfWL), just to make it a tad bit more playable. This game is far superior to Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, and with Godd Howard constantly re-releasing TES:Skyrim with updated graphics and new stuff to do, i'm surprised he hasn't decided to remaster this game at least once, to optimise it for later OS's like Windows 10.
