Fallout 3 - PlayStation 3 Game of the Year Edition

It took me a while to get into this game but once I did I really liked it. It's one of those games the further you get into the the better it gets. Basically this game is very much like a Grand Theft Auto concept. You can do missions or you can run around and do whatever.Pro's:- Very big world to explore...very big- Voice acting pretty good and convincing- Good number of missions...don't like one, just do another one or go exploring- The further you get, the more items you find and acquire, which makes the game more funCons:- Glitches- and I don't mean one or two. This got very annoying at times, where I would have to restart my PS3 and go to the most recent save point. The good thing is an auto save feature usually brings you close to where you were. The glitches got to be such a pain at one point I had to alter my gameplay because it kept freezing up in the same spot each time. My PS3 was brand new when I was playing this game and I have never had any problems like this on other games outside of this game.- Graphics- This was not a problem for me, but basically to me they are PS2 graphics. The game is so great though this was a none issue for me...I'm just mentioning it.

This is the second time I've purchased this gam.... Experience. It's that good.I have a hard time deciding if FO3, Skyrim or heavily modded Morrowind is my favorite of all time. But I think it's this one.I don't review things often but felt compelled to chime in here.This is a game that you can run through or that you can savor for hundreds of hours. Endless things to do and explore. I'm not.particularly goal oriented. Not a twitch thumb get it done kind of guy.One of my favorite things to do as the lone wanderer is to just glass around the area from a perch on a ruined bridge. The sun setting. The stillness with just the sighing of the wind for company. Very often you'll see interesting things in the distance. Small battles between people robots and creatures.This world feels so alive and active. It isn't all focused on you.And sometimes some really jaw dropping things can occur. I don't know how Beth did it, but some of the random things that happen are just amazing.My real reason for posting here is to inform PS3 users that there are a few things that can be done to improve the glitches. A bit much to get into here but a search of the Beth forums will lead the way. There ARE fixes for the common problems.BOW WOW

I was really nervous about buying this game because of all the bad reviews saying how the PS3 version was so buggy it was unplayable. Well I have not had any problems whatsoever and I absolutely love this game. It is definitely a game of the year game that is for sure. I did erase all my old data from the original Fallout 3 and created a brand new file for the GOTY edition so maybe thats why I haven't had any problems I don't know. Anyway this game has huge replay value and is a great game to own not rent. Zero buyers remorse for me so there you go.UPDATE : 1-20-2010Ok I have played through the entire game again and I had to update my review. I still love the game and I am happy with my purchase BUT I can say that yes there are a lot of glitches the longer you play the game. But what I learned to do is manually save A LOT. Do this and your good to go. I only had it freeze up completely a hand full of times and a lot of times if you just wait a minute it will un-freeze on its own and If it doesn't then just restart your system and load your most recent manual save. Anyway I still love this game buggy or not.

Ordered Friday afternoon and it arrived Saturday around 3pm. I think it was less then 24 hrs. So i was happy. I'll definitely buy from hem again. Game was brand new and works fine.

PS3 GOTY is not flawless, but most of the bugs have been addressed and I rarely have issues. Be sure to save frequently to avoid loosing your state, because the game does crash, typically on states of heavy action.The storyline is wonderful, and this doesn’t get enough credit. I like Fallout Lore, but F3 is phenomenally-well written and is addictive to play to put the pieces together. With the exception of the add-ons, no side quest is completely useless. They move you around the map or provide context to the Fallout story.If you’re looking to buy this in 2020 or after, I can tell you that it has been much more fun to play this than wait in line for the PS5.
