Fallout 3 - Game Of The Year Edition (PS3)

I know Fallout 3 came out almost 4 years ago, followed by the GOTY Edition, but I purchased it recently to see why it is highly rated. I will avoid spoiling the story for those who have not played the game by going in into big details. But, to summarise in a nutshell, the game focuses on your character, that has lived in the comfort and security of the *Vault* since birth, suddenly leaving after his/her father to the outside world which is a post atomic/apocolyptic wasteland, in order to chase him up. The rest is up to you to find out. The game is absolutely brilliant in terms of what it offers, it is massive in size and there are so many in-game locations to discover and visit that have a story (sometimes freaky) to explore and discover. You will spend hours upon hours trying to play through all the missions (especially if you are a trophy hunter like myself) and going back and forth between locations, which has been made easy thanks to the fast-travel feature. It does start off a bit slow and the graphics at the beginning are not that pretty but once you get through the first part, things start looking better. I like how you can alternate between first-person and third-person view to suit your individual taste. I prefer the third-person perspective and panning the camera in so it is just behind my characters right shoulder (reminiscent of the camera angle in Resident Evil 4). The unique VATS aiming system is quite clever yet albeit slightly frustrating at times (some shots which should easily hit target still end up missing!). However, the results are also quite gruesome yet fun to watch most of the times, considering how an enemys head may fly off in a violent eruption of blood and gore, or get blown to tiny chunks of blood and bone! Even limbs will fly off at death, if shot at! its also impressive considering how many lines of script have been included as non-playable characters say many different things making the game a very real experience. However, on a negative side, there are numerous tech issues which quite honestly should not have been in the GOTY version. You will experience numerous game freezing incidents and crashes throughout the campaign requiring to reset your system. Sometimes when you aim manually you will find bullets going through an enemy head and not harming them - silly to be honest. Also, there is a bug which Bethesda should have fixed with a patch which is potentially GAME-BREAKING!! (thankfully I found a way through after spending time online looking for a solution - thanks Youtube!). The bug involved unlocking a door in Vault 112 with a key which was practically NON-EXISTANT in the game! If you get into a similar position as me, look for *fallout 3 vault 12 failsafe code* video on Youtube, to stand a chance! Just remember to make regular save files for backup, in case things go wrong!!! Despite these issues, I really have enjoyed Fallout 3 from what I have played so far. I strongly recommend it to all gamers who have not played it. For a 2008 game its brilliant yet four years later (as of today) it is still a gem to play! The positive points easily outweigh the negative points. Bethesda has managed to create such a surreal yet realistic experience with Fallout 3 and as a result it is one of the best games you will play. Highly Recommended - 92/100

This game is by far one of the best games that I will ever play, I would highly recommend buying this as it is definitely worth the £13 or whatever, I have rarely had any problems with the game itself, it's froze twice in around 50 hours game time, which is effectively once of a day game time which isn't bad. The original by itself was one of the best games ever and with the dlc's it has become the game that I will never sell, it is incredible how good the actual depth of the game is, how much detail the graphics have been put into. I'd recommend getting the GOTY edition as it will save you around £20 as you won't have to buy the actual game and also the dlc's from the playstation store. Also it will save you hours of downloading. One of the problems that I have with the game though is that for less experienced players of this type of game (Like I was when the game was launched in 2008) is that it can be rather difficult to feel the vibe that a player that is more experienced gets from the game, which may send you away if you're that player, however if you are definitely stick to it and sooner or later you'll become enthralled in the game and you'll never regret buying it once you understand the way the game works etc. The dlc's are fantastic, the one I have a problem with though is the Mothership Zeta as it is not as good as the other 4 also it doesn't feel the same with the game as the other 4 do, the other dlc's compliment the game so well it is unbelivable, but that is the only complaint with the dlc's and the game as a whole really. If you're thinking of buying a game like this then definitely buy this you will not regret it, one of the best games I have ever played. Ratings: Graphics - 9/10 Dlc's - 9/10 Game as a whole - 10/10 Variety - 10/10

追加コンテンツなしの、いわゆる通常版でもフリーズ上等、日本版は翻訳もお粗末。 Game of the year版では、追加コンテンツと共に新たなバグまで追加されたと聞く。 それでも愛されるFOの余りある面白さは、なかなか言葉だけでは説明し切れない。 でも敢えて表現するなら、その自由度と世界観は最も評価される重要な魅力だろう。 完全無欠の救世主にも、極悪非道の殺人鬼にもなれる。 勿論どっちつかずの風来坊にもなれるし、誰にもそれを責められたりもしない。 最終戦争後の荒廃した広大な世界の中で、何処へ行こうが、何をしようが、全て自分次第。 しかも、追加コンテンツによりエンディング後の世界に突入可能になり、事実上エンドレスになった。 終わらせるか否かすら自由という究極の自由度に到達した様は、正にRPGの集大成と呼ばれるに相応しい。 ちなみに主人公は、性別も人種も顔すらもプレイヤーの分身のように設定することが可能である。 弱い頃は、命がけで空き缶やガラクタを拾い、小銭を稼いでやっと安い武器を手に入れるだろう。 だが苦労の末、旅に慣れる頃には、自ずとターミネーターよろしくロケランやプラズマ銃を乱射する歩く最終兵器となる。 一度踏み入れたら、出たくなくなるくらい素敵な世界ではないだろうか。 FOシリーズの次回作を、異常なまでの期待をもって待ち望んでいるのは私だけではない筈である。 アクションRPGとして、FOシリーズほどのゲームは無いと自信をもってオススメする所存である。

Le jeu est incroyable, pour ce qui sont fans de Fallout c'est un titre a ne pas rater, pour ce qui veulent commencer, mes recommandations. Je suis très satisfait, même ma copine qui cherche les "secrets" du jeu à côté de moi ! :) Merci pour la vente !

Bellissimo capitolo della saga, spedito e arrivato nei tempi prestabiliti senza alcun tipo di problema (Integrità del pacco e del gioco perfetta). Consigliato a tutti gli amanti della saga!.

Lo compré para mi marido pero el pobre no puede jugar porque no habla inglés y esta versión no tiene subtítulos ni nada en español.

言われるようにバグについて多く問題があるゲームなのだが…、 （通常版プレイ済みの人向けに参考までに書いてみました） PS3は160GBのタイプで容量は半分余裕を取ってある状態でプレイしてみた。 熱暴走がないように常にエアコンが効いている部屋で摂氏28程度を維持させている状態の部屋で使用。 設定：睡眠時のオートセーブ：ON 待機時のオートセーブ：ON エリア移動時：OFF 8000KBまでのセーブデータまでやり、DLCのOperation AnchorageとMothership Zetaの追加クエストまでを終了（Lv18) 同時にPoint LookoutとBroken Steelが発生中の段階で記載。 6-7割程度までのマッピング（屋外）と４割程度の屋内ダンジョン探索完了、ここまでで完全なフリーズは１−２回程度。（データロード中にフリーズが１回） 処理落ちは屋外で多く目立つが一時的の時もある。何かのイベントが起きる時、例えば特定の屋外でランダムに発生するような事がある場合に重くなったりする。 約4000KBに達するとこの程度の症状が見られ始める。 序盤は特に処理落ちしないが、プレーヤーのいる付近で気づかないでAI同士の乱戦が発生している場合に急激に重くなる場合も。 5000KBを超えた頃にPip-boyを開いたりV.A.T.S使用する操作をすると一時負荷が掛かった様な症状が見られた（不特定の場所） まれに本当にフリーズしたかと思われる時があるが、PSボタンを数秒押して”本体の電源を切るOR終了しますか”画面が出るまでしばらく待ち、そのままゲームに戻ると何事もなく普通に続行できる（念のため要セーブ）＊本当に終了しないように注意。 爆発などで重くなるような症状はこの段階では特に見られなかった、従事者を引き連れていたりする方が突発的に重くなる時が多い。 ＊どの程度データ量を節約出来るか分からないが、ダンジョンに落ちているゴミ（収容できる不要なモノ）は可能な限り収拾して売却するなり、屋外の再復活する死体に放り込んで消化してプレイ中。 他、Broken Steelを発生させると敵AIがFO3ベガス版クラスのモノが出てくるために注意、敵によっては”弱い同行者”が秒殺されてしまう。 描画の隙間を利用して意図的にBOSの本部へ入りメインクエスト強制発生（終盤へ進行済み）したり、思わぬ負荷が序盤から出ないように通常版とは切り分けプレイするべき。ただそれはそれで面白いかもだが…。
