Will give the main storyline another go this week. The actual story is bland as hell. It's a good game if you ramp up the difficulty and play it as a survivalist FPS/RPG. It's naff if you treat it like a decent Fallout game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Prince Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I really need to broaden my horizons out into other games. For years I've just stuck with FIFA/CoD/GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'll be able to work it out, seems like it's duelling factions trying to take over some territory with some magic thrown in. Had family hanging about last night when I started to play it which isn't the best when you're trying to make sense of it Got a bit of a fright when that dragon appeared.Should be a good game I've got high hopes.

Dindeleux Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Here we go with our top 10..........we have no more games on level points. PIE AND BOVRIL - 50 GREATEST GAMES OF ALL TIME 10th place Fallout 3 Fallout 3 was the third game in the Fallout series and the first to be created by my new favourite game makers of all time Bethesda Studios. There has been a lot of discussion on here about what the best Fallout game was with a lot of people saying either Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas and a little bit less love for Fallout 4 which arrived a few places down our list. The picture I have used above for Fallout 3 gives me a fair bit of excitement about my impending play through of this game and has been one of the things noted about this game that places it above Fallout 4 for most - the setting. I agree that Boston, whilst a great map in 4, doesn't have the landmarks that DC can bring and I'm hoping that at some point soon I'll be tearing the White House up. Fallout 3 is set in Washington DC in the year 2277. As with the other games in the series there has been nuclear war and your survivor is one of those who has to cope with the fallout (boom, tish) and really just save the world. I'm really sorry here but I don't actually want to go into any further details around what happens as I'm just about the play through the game and don't want to spoil it for myself. As a brief outline your character is looking for his dad who has escaped one of Fallouts famous vaults. It seems very similar to the story for Fallout 4. From there you set off to discover all the wonders of the former capital in its state of nuclear disarray. Fallout 3 was initially under development by Black Isle Studios, a studio owned by Interplay Entertainment, under the working title Van Buren. Black Isle Studios was the developer of the original Fallout and Fallout 2. When Interplay Entertainment went bankrupt and closed down Black Isle Studios before the game could be completed, the license to develop Fallout 3 was sold for a $1,175,000 minimum guaranteed advance against royalties to Bethesda Softworks, a studio primarily known as the developer of The Elder Scrolls series. Bethesda's Fallout 3, however, was developed from scratch, using neither Van Buren code nor any other materials created by Black Isle Studios. In May 2007, a playable technology demo of the canceled project was released to the public. The game also received controversy upon release in Australia, for the use of and the ability to be addicted to alcohol and drugs; in India, for cultural and religious sentiments over the mutated cattle in the game being called "Brahmin"; and in Japan, due to having a weapon called the "Fat Man", which releases mini nuclear bombs. A commercial and critical success, Fallout 3 sold an estimated 5 million copies and won various Game of the Year awards in 2008. It was almost universally rated as a 9/10 game although I did spot some reviews that gave it an 8.5. Pie and Bovril awarded it 59 points which is 8 more than previous entry Championship Manager 01/02 received. We rated Fallout 3 as: 4 x 2nd place 2 x 3rd place 1 x 5th place 1 x 10th place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Fallout 3 has been on my list to play for about 5 years. As I said elsewhere I couldn't get into New Vegas which put me off Fallout 3. The download code for it is still in my Fallout 4 box and will be used after my playthrough of Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 We really are unbelievably spoiled with the gaming leaps of the last 30 years when c***s are moaning that an absolute work of art like Skyrim is boring, or unplayable...wtf is wrong with folk!

This. My much talked about Mega Drive, whilst half decent for nostalgia and a couple of the games are ok it does for the most part suck. Games like Golden Axe just aren't as good as you remember them. Except Columns which is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
