i like to see people who loves fallout as i am....i really enjoy the 3 first games and new vegas.....there is no other games to me than those. fuck off Fallout 4.
I should be ashamed to say this, but for the first 3 weeks after buying Fallout 3, I basically ignored it because It was unlike anything I'd seen up till then. When I finally did decide to try it again...I haven't stopped.
Boaty McBoatman he has a point, New Vegas had so much potential to be the superior fallout game but it had no After ending gameplay because it was rushed by Bethesda,so to me fallout 3 is the best fallout game
i remember being so exited for this game when i was 12, i had my mom preorder the special edition that came in a brotherhood of steel lunchbox with a bobblehead pip boy and a ton of art of early development of DC. this is still my favorite opening to a video game.
@@thekiller7994 I didn't reply to OP, I think the guy deleted his comment. If I remember correctly he said something about NV intro spoiling the whole game, which it doesn't.
hes a console gamer, you forget this game sold millions of copies and put bethesda on the map because of the xbox 360 (gonna ignore that terrible port to PS3)
Everytime I watch this I get chills everytime it zooms and and the music echos throughout the city, and of course blacking out once the BOS soldier looks at the camera. "Because war... war never changes" best line in the game.
It’s a shame this game has been largely ignored in favor of New Vegas. FO3 is far more important than most people realize. Without it, New Vegas would have no chance of existing. Also considering that NV reused basically all of the assets from 3, I think we have to give it a bit more credit than we do now. It’s also my first and favorite Fallout game, personally.
NV is far better as a Fallout game though. 3 doesn't even come close in terms of RPG elements. NV keeps the feel and spirit of the originals by having far more decisions, skillchecks, darker and more outlandish humor etc. Fallout 3 is a Bethesda game and it shows. It's much tamer than most Fallout games and rather linear in comparison.
And where did Fallout 3 get almost all of their inspiration from? The original games, they just made it into an fps. Plus it's the same shitty engine Bethesda has been using for years, hence why the game is so buggy and barely functions. Fallout 3 is a good game if you're new to the Fallout series, but the game tries to be something else which is why the majority of storywriting is trash, like in Fallout 4. Bethesda would rather have their games action packed instead of playing as what they're suppose to create Role Playing Games.
A lot of analysis has been made to expose the problems with this one in particular, but i think the more accurate is the HBomberguy´s video. However , i can see some of the virtues, like the ambient music, including the battle music, is just very engagement (better than F4).
“all except those in Vault 101. For on that fateful day, when fire rained from the sky; the giant steel door of Vault 101 slid closed, and never reopened. It was here you were born, it is here *YOU* will die, because in Vault 101, no one ever enters, and *NO ONE*, ever leaves” I always get chills when those lines are delivered.
The tragic irony of this opening is so haunting. On one level we have the juxtaposition of the song contrasting the nuclear war by saying it didn't want to set the world on fire. On another level we have the perseverance of life in the face of destruction, that despite the fact that the world was set on fire the beauty of music survived and reached out from the wreckage of the world to start a flame of life and happiness into your heart. Sadly no one is around to appreciate the song's gift.
Zestence Fallout 3 had a good story. However you were pretty much put in the same boat with the BoS. Now that wouldn't be so bad, everyone loves the BoS. But some people aren't everybody. Someone may have wanted to fight for the Enclave. Maybe support the Super Mutants and carry on the Master's Legacy. Either way, people wanted expansion, choice. Karma was a good start. but New Vegas expanded on Karma and created Factions. Since Vegas wasn't hit as hard with bombs as the Capital Wasteland, it had communities, no different than people before the Great War. Savage, Greedy, Cruel. The Courier was a clean slate. The Lone Wanderer was influenced by his Father. The Courier was given a new beginning and truly had the ability to go either way. You could be a ruthless NCR supporter or a kind and caring Legion Frumentarii. Vegas Sacrificed story for exploration and character immersion. You made the choices, and in turn affected the Mojave with every single one. Good trade off IMO. You can enjoy the cool BoS vs Enclave Water giver story of FO3 or make your own in FONV.
***** Mostly I feel the world of New Vegas was too empty, and it lacks the fallout vibe of desperation and survival. Walking around through ruined national mall, looking at the monuments, the abandoned subway and all the small communities built from scrap felt more appropriate to the setting than cowboy hats and Texas rangers in a large empty desert. Hell, Fallout 3 had real places in it, stuff I wanted to find to see if it was there, like the white house and the capitol building. New vegas had......well, vegas, but it looked nothing like the real place, and had no real landmarks. D.C. and the surrounding wasteland had more to it, in my opinion, the fabled strip in vegas was just a complete and utter disappointment, I was expecting a large intact city from what the developers told us, but instead it was a bit of intact street and mostly ruins, how is that a city saved from the bombs? That's like saying "hey, capitol hill is still kinda standing, D.C was mostly saved from the bombs!". And they had the space too, but they chose to fill it with large fields and cazadors instead. I liked the divide a lot more than I liked the mojave desert, because it's just that, a giant flat desert. Still, I like new vegas, it's a good game, I'm just not enjoying it as much as I did FO3.
“It was here, YOU were born, it is here you will DIE, because in vault 101, no one ever enters and no one ever leaves” Coming back 11 years later after playing this for the first time, this entire trailer had me wildly unaffected until that last note. That part had me in tears out of nostalgia and how close I relate to it. My fallout journey started with 3. My love for fallout was born in vault 101. And after playing 4 and 76 for years, I came back t the basics. Here’s to us
TheBusDriver Honestly, fo3 has a much better atmosphere and tone than nv. Fo3 feels like it actually takes place in a the ruins of a post nuclear capital city, while nv has more of a wild west feel since everything is mostly intact and you wander barren deserts most of the time. New Vegas has alot more content than fo3, but thematically, and the overall feel of fo3 was much better than that of nv in my opinion.
The beautiful irony of that _Radiation King_ radio playing _"I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire"_ in the nuclear wasteland tho. 👌 Also the "the great steel door of Vault 101 slid closed, and *never* reopened" line feels oddly topical as of 2019... 🤔
"War, war never changes." One of my favorite lines ever. Fallout 3 is one of those awesome games that I feel is slightly unappreciated today sadly. The copycat Borderlands franchise unfortunately seemed to shove Fallout 3 outta the way. New Vegas was good, but nowhere as good as Fallout 3. FO3 will always hold a special place in my heart, and of course will be my favorite RPG of all time.
The thing I enjoy the most about Fallout 3 is it's story and atmosphere. It just feels that much more eerie and absorbing to traverse a world almost completely destroyed by nuclear fire. New Vegas may be a solid extension in terms of game mechanics but Fallout 3 will always be the better game (That is until Fallout 4 finally arrives!!!)
It’s 2008 you’re back home from a stressful day from school, you turn on your console, insert fallout3, and continue from your last quest, life is good.
Wait, In fallout 3 the brotherhood base is called citadel. In HL2 the combine base is called the citidel. HL2 was made in 2004, and F3 made in 2008! F3 Copied Half life!!!!!!¡¡¡¡¡¡ 😡😠😠😡😠😡😤😡😠👿👿☢️☢️❎
I come back to this video all the time, but it always pisses me off that the guy didn't fix the video from 3:43 to 4:17. I mean that is such a glaring problem on the video, seriously, why the FUCK didn't he fix it?
Hunter Allyn You make it sound very inviting to take time out of one's life to correct a minor issue in a video to please a single whining spoiled idiot
TL;DR His point, though crudely worded, is still valid. Raymond Lombardy you realized that's about 7% of the video, right? I mean, I know it sounds to entitled in a 7 minute video to have 7% removed, but the poster also made the conscious effort to record and post this. In this way, the person could spend another 7 minutes to sit through it and record it properly. No, not being spoiled/entitled, just saying that people should be more devoted to quality when posting their videos, regardless of how long/short they are. I agree the OP could have worded it better, but your reply is just as whiney with calling him an idiot.
The self-destructive nature of men will always be present, no matter who you think who is right and who is wrong, because in the end it will always be men fighting against men thanks to their nature -and even liking- for violence. If the apocalypse DOES happen (provoked by men, obviously), the details will be trivial and pointless. The reasons? As always, purely human ones.
I got a question. Why is the music oldies music? The apocalypse happened past present day timeline didn't it? So why is the music that plays from way before our time? Did every CD and CD player just simultaneously combust into nothingness? Every virtual music site server in the world simultaneously crash? All the musicians across the world just died? And only oldies vinyl survived?
This is based on a different timeline compared to ours. You need to read all the flavour text and have played all of the fallouts to get a good understanding off it all.
That's actually really interesting, I'm glad I learned that. It explains quite a bit. Out of curiosity, would you happen to know which game has alluded to this split in the timeline. I could've sworn I didnt hear much about it in Fallout 3, or if I did, I just never pieced it together
That was one of the better game summaries I've read in quite a while. I could kind of see everything in my mind like a movie while reading your comment. You should be a journalist or a writer. You'd be great at it.
158 dislikes be like, I don't like the way Bethesda took the fallout series. with their preference of brand recognition and mood rather than good writing and plot.
Lady Wanderer I think that was on purpose, really. This was kind of "sequel-reboot" of the franchise soo they had to welcome new comers in a traditional way.
Lucas Brock I think that was on purpose, really. This was kind of "sequel-reboot" of the franchise soo they had to welcome new comers in a traditional way.
Lucas Brock I didnt mean literally, sequel was because, this is set in the same universe, after the event of the previous two but reboot because Bethesda is doing their own stuff with it, since Fallout 1 and 2 are still owned by Interplay, Okay?
Hey, can someone tell me where I can get a sound byte of the song(s) that play during Ron Perland's narration? If someone can, I will greatly appreciate it :)
i cant fucking believe this game became a classic today, i clearly remember when this came out and remember me the first Fallout, i cant stopped to play it, i have got a really good time playing this game as the good time i got in the first fallout.
In case anyone was curious, the song is I don't want to set the world on fire by the Ink Spots. I was listening to this on my grandpas record player, and ironicly enough he said when he went to Hiroshima, Japan 1945 they were playing this song in his Deuce and a half.
