Not bad, not great
This game was kind of hailed as one of the best games ever made when it was released, but since then it gets much more negative feedback for not being a "true fallout game". It has some strong points and weak points, but I think all in all, it is a decent game. Case in point: even though I already have it on Steam, I will also buy it here. I'm considering this game based on its own merits, any comparisons to other Fallouts will only come in the section describing aspects which can be interpreted as either good or bad. The good 1. The atmosphere. You really get that post-Great War feeling from the wasteland and its inhabitants trying to get ahead despite the grim harshness of the world. 2. The locations and characters are usually quite well made, and some really stand out - for example, in my opinion, Tranquility Lane is one of the most unique locations I've seen, especially considering its "origins". Its creator is also a one-of-a-kind character, who REALLY deserves their potential fate (not going into specifics to avoid spoilers). 3. The real-time combat enhanced by VATS is a well-working concept. The bad 1. Large part of the map feels very linear due to small overland areas being connected by subway lanes, severely restricting potential movement. 2. By the end of the game, one can have a ridiculously overpowered character even without trying because certain perks make combat totally one-sided. The decide-for-yourself 1. The story has a (for a Fallout game) unusually black-and-white morality with one side being THE good team and the other THE bad team. No ambiguity whatsoever. 2. Enemy scaling is in full swing, meaning they are ALWAYS at your level. 3. The game did take a big step in the action direction from the previous Fallout games. Personally, I think it's a very good game - for one playthrough or two, but it didn't have that "let's play this through again right now" captivating feeling for me.

Great Experience
It's rare to find a game like Fallout 3, one that you can really get lost in. Few other games I have played enable you to get as immersed and emotionally invested as this one. It gives you a stark, desolate world, and the freedom to explore it however you like. I do think New Vegas is the better game, but Fallout 3 is still great in its own right. A game combining the atmosphere of 3, the writing and player choice of New Vegas, and the combat of 4 would be absolutely fantastic. I'd also highly recommended getting the Tale of Two Wastelands mod if you want a full package experience of 3 with New Vegas. Adds some of New Vegas's improved mechanics into 3, and makes both games' stories together feel like one grand journey.

Great game wish I could PLAY it.
Game crashes to desktop everytime I try to start a newgame. I have attempted everything listed on the store support page and even tried googling a fix. I contacted support 3 days ago with no contact from them. I love this game and would love to actually get to play it.

It's everything I wanted.
No gfwl is literally a game changer. I am really impressed with how the game runs too. Looks great on my budget gaming PC and seems to run a bit smoother than New Vegas for me. Windows 10 GeForce 750ti 8GB RAM
