Eh its okay

Ive never played a fallout game since part 4, but i had to give this game a try since everyone praises it. But there are some good and bad things about this game. The good the stories and side quests are cool. The bad, its not really open world, and the map directs you just towards a direction. It never really shows you exactly where to go....and if there's a mountain? You dont know if its up towards the mountain, under it, or around it. Its just hard to get around obstacles with crap and cars blocking your path. Forcing you to go around or go into subways to see if it takes you a way you want to go. That sucks the fun part for me. As it makes me feel as iam wasting my time...sad i couldnt enjoy this game. But hey if that doesnt bother you. Than you should like this game

A great game, for its time

Judging a game for what it isn't 11 years following its release is not only unfair, but shows more about the critic than the game itself, since if this was really that bad of a game as people keep claiming that it is, it would have been disappeared a long time ago and no one would even bother venting so badly against it so long after its release. Not to mention that this kind of behavior goes against GoG's seemingly "Review Guidelines", but hey - its the Internet, haters will be haters, while Bethesda remain at the top despite the high vocality of their critics. As for the game itself, this was a great one, a real novelty for its time. Its post apocalyptic atmosphere is still unmatched to this day by any other game in this setting, in my opinion. It had its share of flaws and faults which others went to such extra lengths to describe, but New Vegas, despite it seemingly better RPG elements, failed to capture this bleak, end-of-the-world feeling, the desperate fight for survival, and the tongue-in-cheek humor that 3 has. Indeed, its novelty wore off nowadays, and what used to be amazing back then is barely serviceable now, but if haven't done so, Fallout 3 remains highly worth experiencing at least once.

Great game!

This game is really good. It runs perfectly and the graphics are really good! I haven't experienced any bugs so far. This game is also really cheap compared to other games like Fallout 4. You should definitely buy this game instead of Fallout 4. It's a lot cheaper.

Worthy Successor to Fallout 2

While I understand people's gripes about how Fallout 3 was initially perceived, when I finally played it I was just--BOOM. Happiness went nuclear. I could say that playing the game in FPS style was initially jarring, but the first time you bring up the pip boy, and ACTUALLY SEEING THE THING ON YOUR ARM IN GAME was pretty cool. This third game was done with great respect for Fallout 2. To illustrate, Fallout 2 is classic Coke; Fallout 3 tastes more like vanilla Coke; Fallout New Vegas is cherry Coke. Fallout New Vegas is great, but I'm not writing a review about Fallout New Vegas. Get this game, and if you're still reading this, wishlist/buy New Vegas. And maybe pass up Fallout 4 because that thing is Pepsi.
