As the title says, the best 3D Fallout ever created. With the best (most authentic, genuine) Fallout being the original isometric. It's a must have, especially DRM free.
Solid game, it's an easy yet fun time sinker, 4/5.
King kidding me? After all the troubleshooting to get this to work, I'm then faced with a RACING mission that's a MAIN MISSION!? For a game with atrocious vehicle gameplay, to make the 5th mission, or rather ANY MAIN mission (or any mission imo), centered around RACING, NOT EVEN DRIVING, IS INSANE. I'd rather take a taxi mission driving at half the speed limit while obeying all laws across the entire map than boot this game up again. I'd rather feed myself to fish with cement shoes on than finish this poorly designed game, in my humble opinion.
Good for it's time, did not age well.
This is that on performance enhancing drugs. Kids these days don't know how good they have it. The art style and audio is solid, while being cute/hilarious. Runs smoothly, minimalistic perfection. Personally had to hide my taskbar for a true fullscreen mode, but, other than that: It's a must-buy for the nostalgia, the fun, singleplayer, the simplicity, it's for all ages, and above all else, the price tag is cheap, whether on sale or not. I just refunded a full priced "AAA" game rife with issues (especially technical) with an abysmall fun score overall in my opinion, and have had more fun playing this lightweight indie game in one hour than that one.
My tech knowldedge should not have to come in to play when just trying to start the damn thing. When you get past the CTD (crash to desktop) on startup after countless retries after changing settings, finally get the damn thing to work, only to be met with transparent/invisible textures on objects that can only be mitigated through messing with you monitors refresh rate... I MEAN COME ON! I WILL GIVE YOU ALL MY MONEY IF YOU JUST DELIVER WORKING GAMES!
I think my last high praise review to this was lost, but just came to say that after hours upon hours of gameplay, I've changed my mind. You WILL run into game breaking bugs. For a AAA game sold at such a premium, especially for gold edition, this is a slap in the face. Combine the game breaking bugs with their save system and you have a recipe for disaster and frustration. I kept lying to myself that it's not so bad, but it really is. People have a finite amount of time for play, so how would that make them feel to play for hours on end or even just complete a few quests in an hour, just for the quest to break, rendering all that effort wasted. Not to mention not running perfectly like butter on pc specs greater than their recommendations. Cryengine blows, and they should've waited at least another year. WAIT FOR A SALE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T BE ME :(
Expect minor graphical issues even with an RTX 4070 12gb VRAM and a 13th gen i7. The rain looks like wet garbage, game relies very heavily on CPU usage, and the world flickers/micro stutters (very slightly when panning camera slowly or fast) especially at night regardless of FPS and shader cache size. The latter of which, being a primary offender of game crashing, especially if you use your own gpu's antialiasing settings in conjunction with the games. Some more graphical freedom would be nice, with a picture-in-picture display for you to see graphical changes in real-time without having to compare visuals through screenshots. I pity console players, but for PC, this would be perfect with some patches that fixes these things.
