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.
i dont hate the game i love it but it wont work on steam and its still not working on here. this makes me very sad and i would love to know if anyone can help
Not as good as Fallout New Vegas, but Fallout 3 doesn't work well with Windows 7 on Steam so I'm totally recommending this. If you really want to rock though check out a tale of two wastelands, there's a mod that actually connects the two games... it's pretty awesome.
does it acually work on windows 7 and later unlike the steam version, or do you still have to do the manual optimizing bs that i have failed at repeatedly
As someone who played the heck out of this game on PS3, playing it on PC for the first time almost brings a tear to my eyes. I did buy it on that other online store before, but I couldn't play it due to imcompatibility with Windows 10. This version runs smooth for the most part, I did get a hard crash after exiting the Arepo area and hearing some strange hissing sound, I'm sure this will be fixed in future patches. If you enjoyed it back then, or you haven't played it before, this is an easy purchase. Thanks for bringing it to modern systems, much appreciated.
Oohh... edgy. Ok, so i nicked the title from hbomberguy (of youtube fame) video about fallout 3 being garbage. Sorry for that. I do agree with pretty much everything he said about the game and more, so check it out. It's only 1 and a half hour long rant ;) In any case, why do i hate the game so much? Glad you asked. See, I was there when Fallout 1 and 2 premiered and i loved the hell out of both of these games, so when F3 came out I remember how enthusiastic i was towards it. However, when I finally got to play this glorified Oblivion post-apocalypse mod i was devastated, it was such a massive letdown. The game disregarded so much of what made Fallout 1 and 2 great (the themes, the lore, the dialogues, the story) and gave us in return another one of Bethesda's hallmark (at least by today standards, it wasn't like that when Morrowind came out) "explore everything, enjoy nothing" cardboard cuttouts, low on dialogue, themes and lore, but high on copy-paste locations with a chest at the end and maybe a recording of someone doing something uninteresting in the past. The interactions with NPCs were minimal, the quests were... kinda weird (i mean, i don't want to say generic, even though a lot of them were, but they had a tonal problem. Lilke, they had only two modes: "cooky" and "grim", and i was quickly tired of the "cooky" mode, but then again - humour is subjective, so take that opinion for wha it is), the enviroment was inconsistent and bland, and a lot of things just didn't make sense (plot- or themewise). And i'm not even going to rant about the hideous graphics and animations, bugs, performance issues, cluncky controls and very subpar fps gameplay (since Fallout: New Vegas had the same engine and was absurdly superior in spite of having a lot of flaws of Fallout 3). There is fun to be had here, sure, Bethesda is great at making exploration sandboxes, but by all the gods of Discworld, play Fallout: New Vegas instead! Forget F3 ever existed. And F4. And F76.
