Prepare for the Future™
With Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, experience the most acclaimed game of 2008 like never before. Create a character of your choosing and descend into an awe-inspiring, post-apocalyptic world where every minute is a fight for survival. Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition includes all five of the Fallout 3 Game Add-on Packs:
Operation: Anchorage - Enter a military simulation and fight in the liberation of Anchorage, Alaska from its Chinese Communist invaders.
The Pitt - Travel to the post-apocalyptic remains of Pittsburgh and become embroiled in a conflict between slaves and their Raider masters.
Broken Steel - Increase your level cap to 30, and finish the fight against the Enclave remnants alongside Liberty Prime.
Point Lookout - Embark on a mysterious and open-ended adventure in a huge, murky swampland along the coast of Maryland.
Mothership Zeta - Defy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the alien mothership, orbiting miles above the Capital Wasteland.
Main Features:
Limitless Freedom - Take in the sights and sounds of the vast Capital Wasteland! See the great monuments of the United States lying in post-apocalyptic ruin! You make the choices that define you and change the world. Just keep an eye on your Rad Meter!
Experience S.P.E.C.I.A.L. - Vault-Tec engineers bring you the latest in human ability simulation — the SPECIAL Character System! Utilizing new breakthroughs in points-based ability representation, SPECIAL affords unlimited customization of your character. Also included are dozens of unique skills and perks to choose from, each with a dazzling variety of effects!
Fantastic New Views - The wizards at Vault-Tec have done it again! No longer constrained to just one view, experience the world from 1st or 3rd person perspective. Customize your view with the touch of a button!
The Power of Choice - Feeling like a dastardly villain today, or a Good Samaritan? Pick a side or walk the line, as every situation can be dealt with in many different ways. Talk out your problems in a civilized fashion, or just flash your Plasma Rifle.
Blast 'Em Away With V.A.T.S. - Even the odds in combat with the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System for your Pip-Boy Model 3000! V.A.T.S. allows you to pause time in combat, target specific body parts on your target, queue up attacks, and let Vault-Tec take out your aggression for you. Rain death and destruction in an all-new cinematic presentation.
Mind-Blowing Artificial Intelligence - At Vault-Tec, we realize that the key to reviving civilization after a global nuclear war is people. Our best minds pooled their efforts to produce an advanced version of Radiant AI, America's First Choice in Human Interaction Simulation. Facial expressions, gestures, unique dialog, and lifelike behavior are brought together with stunning results by the latest in Vault-Tec technology.
Eye-Popping Prettiness* - Witness the harsh realities of nuclear fallout rendered like never before in modern super-deluxe HD graphics. From the barren Wasteland, to the danger-filled offices and metro tunnels of DC, to the hideous rotten flesh of a mutant's face. *Protective Eyewear Encouraged.
Better than the Steam version. It even looks better and I don’t know how/why.
On launched it Did warn me about incompatibility but so far on Windows 10 I haven’t crashed yet... Not after birth... Not after leaving the vault... Not after entering my new house.
The game Does try and install GFWL on first launch... It can easily be stopped and rightly so.
Kind of gutted about achievements. Unless they are in the game and I haven’t found them yet.
Do yourself a favor and play this with Tales of Two Wastelands.
In short, the TTW mod "injects" Fallout 3 into Fallout New Vegas to make the two games function as one. You get to choose between FO3 and NV as a starting point, and you can even stop playing once you finish FO3. So why bother with the mod then?
Well, because the TTW mod and its installation process will turn Fallout 3 into a modern day game in terms of performance: ABSOLUTE ZERO crashes, stutter, pop-in. Loading times are almost inexistent, and you'll get all the engine and gameplay improvements from New Vegas... both from the original game and from the New Vegas mods you might want to install afterwards.
Fallout 3 is great, but without fixing things by yourself, it is like playing with a grenade without a pin.
The GOG release makes it completely playable in modern computers, but you'll still have to deal with all the engine's inconsistencies and a ton of DIY fixing as you encounter annoyances. There are mods that somehow fix some of the horrible coding, but the development of those stopped a long time ago, while New Vegas fixing is still alive and kicking. With TTW, those fixes are transferred to Fallout 3, so there you go.
Don't be fooled by the over-zealous reviews. It's just like the Steam version but will save you 35 seconds from already having Windows Live disabled and the core affinity set to 2. Felt this needed to be said so those that already own it elsewhere are not hoodwinked into purchasing it again under the pretense of it being a "better" version. Of course, the no DRM point remains, and is a strong point to consider when deciding to purchase this again.
I bought this game here too because i have crash problem on steam...sometimes instantly on launch sometimes in smaller houses like arefu residence. Its the same here still crashing i tried everything again every tip trick idk what to solve the same problem i got with the steam version on win10...this is the only fallout i want to play and i can't because of this. I'm really sad and disappointed. Nothing works. I give up...waiting for a refund..
