Beaten by time
I've heard many good things about F3 and New Vegas... After playing both for a few hours I regret every second I wasted. The gameplay and graphics of both are extremely outdated, and not even mods can save them. I don't recommend. The quest are nice, but in a world that we have The Witcher 3 and Divinity OS2, just quests are not enough.

Fallout 3 has a worse story than Farcry!
Fallout 3 was GOTY?! The state of the gaming industry must be abysmal. Fallout 3 has a worse story than any Farcry game. That’s pathetic. Farcry is not even an RPG! In Farcry, at least your character has a bit of an identity. In Fallout 3, your character has no identity and doesn’t feel like a person at all. You might as well be an inanimate object, like a stick that can walk. You have no name & no personal desires (other than the main quest to find your dad, which you won’t be doing 99% of the time). If you look up any articles about Fallout 3, you will see they prove my point: they, and also other characters in the game, always call your player character “Lone Wanderer,” which is the diplomatic way to say “Generic Cliché With No Personality.” Contrast Fallout 3 with the game Mafia 1 (also not an RPG!) from 2002. Mafia 1 brilliantly chronicles the player character’s (Tommy’s) unwitting entry into the mafia and the subsequent decades of his life. Every step of the way, Tommy feels like he is a real person with genuine aspirations and feelings. Therefore, the player feels a captivating emotional bond with Tommy, and you strongly empathize with and root for him. Fallout 3 is the polar opposite of that. Why does an old non-RPG like Mafia 1 absolutely annihilate the much newer RPG Fallout 3 in terms of storytelling? How do so many gamers fail to notice Fallout 3’s abysmal story & characterization? Why do most critics give Fallout 3 completely unwarranted praise, high scores, and GOTY awards? ! The gameplay of Fallout 3 is also extremely bad. The “open world” can take up a lot of your time, but very little of that time will be spent doing anything new or meaningful. The world is “huge” because all the developers did was copy & paste the same few environmental tile sets, and enemies, millions of times. So you can spend hundreds of hours wandering through identical environments and fighting identical enemies as you are bored out of your mind.

Not a Fallout
This is not a Fallout. Ugly, even when it was edited, empty, stupidly gore. If you liked Fallout 1 and 2, you'll probably hate this one.

Fallout 3 is no Fallout New Vegas
but compared to Fallout 4 it's a masterpiece. Yikes.

Skyrim with lasers
I'm huge fan of first fallouts (even tactics). Well I was enjoing fallout 3 back in the days on PS3 but this game is incredibly boring with retarded gameplay and dumb story (enclave and mutants in washington... Please...). I tried it again on pc last year with dlcs and well... It was even more boring. There is no fallout climate and fighting space orcs... Oh i mean mutants and rainbow bandits is killing once a great world. Anyway you may still have fun if you mever tried it, but this game is rather for one complete only, look how they've massacred my boy, one star for fhem.
