[GD] Fallout 3: GOTY

Sorry if there's already a general Fallout 3 thread, damn search.

Does the storyline take after the other Fallout games? Or will I be able to buy this one and understand the storyline?


Also, I have never really been a big RPG fan. Not that I don't like them, just never really played them. I really, really liked STALKER on PC. Is Fallout 3 anything like that? Will I like it?

Arrr Stepharne I knew you'd turn up to quote me. I honestly never knew Beth weren't working on New Vegas. Actually, that pisses me off more so they didn't patch GOTY. Leaves no excuse imo.


ahhh but they are working on a fallout 4, maybe even a new oblivion
I really do owe Fallout GOTY a little more of my time - I bought the standard version, and whilst very impressed with the huge worlds, being very much a straight-up FPS guy, just found that there were 'too many things that needed doing'. I had perhaps played maybe 10 or so hours of the game when I returned it to EB for a refund.
I feel that I'm missing out on this, and so many other really good games by limiting myself to the point and shoot stuff(plus any very good driving games, which I also enjoy).
Am I alone with this?
To be fair, I bought the used copy of Fallout 3 just 2 days before getting BFBC2 and only 2 weeks after grabbing the D/L content for NFS-Shift. It could well be argued that my timing couldn't have been worse, with far too much going-on in these other gaming realms to give due consideration to Fallout 3.
I feel sure that I'll return to the GOTY edition, later, once it's come down in price and there's less going-on in my gaming life.
I owe the game this much if most people's reviews and opinions of it are concerned.

One day I'll start a new game of Fallout 3. Twas the trophies had me annoyed struggling back to 100% after DLC released. I still love the game, (if not my favorite of all time). Just a shame a dark shadow becomith epicness.
Dont think of Fallout as a FPS. Its a role playing game that has a fps view.

I did the same thing bought it when it first came out, couldnt get into it, never was a RPG kind of player.. then about a year later i got it again for a dirt cheap price... One of the "BEST" games i have played...

Do yourself the favour boxhead56 and get back into it one day!

+1


oh cool. If you buy it, can tell me if it's as bad as they say it is or is everyone just exaggerating?


I bought a copy of GOTY edition last week (played through the original and loved it !!! but not the DLC)
I have no problems to report......currently have 25hrs clocked up.
I save often just in-case..... but have had no issues.
I'm still finding so much stuff from the original that I never found and I thought I was pretty thorough (Haven't started doing any DLC)........ My 2nd play through is more impressive than the first.
I actually finished the original edition before the trophies where released as an update.........
Still the best game yet made IMO !!!!!!!!!


ohh, okay cool. Thanks

I will keep an eye out for a cheap copy.

I loved the non GOTY edition
Does anyone know if the freezing issues are fixed in this game ? I want to give this game another try ?

Don't think so. I started it up last week and there wasn't any updates.
I was gonna buy this yesterday, $68 at Big W. Is that the cheapest copy around, does anyone know?

I thought I would give it a miss cause of the freezing issues... But, next time i have the money, I'm just gonna get it.

I spent all my money, so I cant go back and get it, not til I get paid next. And then, I think I would rather get a PS3 handsfree mic thingy.

hahahahaha, funny, I work there and I didn't even know :P
literally just froze on me now. ...it took 20 seconds to unfreeze but ...that's the 1st time its unfrozen itself.
Oh crap.

I thought it was resolved :'(

Are you using a new gamesave like everyone said to?
well ive put about 5 hours into this beast and its only frozen twice but i save heaps with this game so its not a worry for me.
RDR froze more on me than this has for the time ive spent so ... i dont see it as such a big issue.
