Ah OK, so F4 is more linear even though it is still an open world?The choice's and dialogue don't make much of a difference or which faction you side with, you end up with mostly the same outcome.
Yeah basically.Ah OK, so F4 is more linear even though it is still an open world?
Nah. New Vegas expansion maps were better. Especially Old World Blues.I liked the map the best for sure. Fallout New Vegas had a better story and quest dialogs, but it had a very boring map to explore compared to Fallout 3 with its expansions.
It's probaly long been fixed (or maybe not with Bethedsa) but when MZ came out, there was a significant patch for the 360 version that was delayed for at least 6 months the PS3 versiondcWell, PS3 was my only option for trophies/achievements, as I'm only on playstation consoles and steam now. Steam has fallout 3, but no steam achievement support. The saying is right, skyrim on ps3 I heard was a nightmare. I don't know about the mothership zeta thing, is that a bug fix?
for me 4 has a really bad pacing issue where it’s the main character having to find their son asap and it’s an emergency to find a baby in the WastelandFirst off, i've not played any of them until I started a playthrough recently of Fallout 4, i'm at about level 15 at the mo.
I'm enjoying the game so far but I can see that there isn't a whole lot of love for it compared to the others. The world is huge and detailed and there seems to be a good variety of enemies and weapons. There are several perks that can give you different options such as lockpicking and hacking although they don't seem to make a massive difference to the progression except maybe giving access to the objective without having to fight several extra enemies to find a passcode or a key. The game isn't riddled with MTs (although does have quite a bit of DLC) or any forced woke crap so what is it that makes this entry of the series less liked than the others?
Several people have mentioned the dialogue and characters? I must admit I am not a fan of long dialogues and tend to skip through them to the choices quite a bit once I get the idea of what the conversation is about.
If the earlier games are genuinely better then I look forward to playing them once I get through F4
I'm shocked that 3 and NV are not on Switch tbh, especially after Skyrim sold really wellI wish they would remaster fallout 3. It would sell good I think
Might have something to do with the Creation Engine. I don’t think they have remastered anything prior to the change from Gamebryo to Creation Engine.I'm shocked that 3 and NV are not on Switch tbh, especially after Skyrim sold really well
Does it have THAT many cats in it?I love FO4 and FO:NV, but Fallout 3 is by far the best Fallout I've ever played; best game I've ever played. I so wish I could play it again for the first time. That game took over my life, I've never been as immersed in a game as FO3. Enjoy your playthrough.
NV refined everything learnt in the making of 3, I think.Not hating on your love for 3 at all, it’s incredible, especially for it’s time - but I personally love NV. Never played 1 or 2, but I would say NV is better than 3 or 4, even though I thoroughly enjoyed those.

No, it has a damn dog companion, but no attack cat companions. That's one of the only failures of FO3. They could have used my bitch cat for MoCap, she attacks me all the time.Does it have THAT many cats in it?
On Xbox series it’s been enhanced to run at 4k 120fps (I think? ) but I think only 4 is on ps5 as a ps now titleAny way to play these on modern systems? (In my case PS5) Don't say PS Now or some shit please.
The same team is making Starfield and then Elder Scrolls 6Replaying it now, but on the steam deck. I always wanted to have Bethesda games on the go. I imagined playing morrowind and fallout on my psp and vita and was waiting for a dedicated handheld game. That never happened. Hell even with the switch we never got that. Enter the steam deck where I can replay all of these games. Bump down the fps to 40 for the battery bump but max out the settings. Looks and plays way better than my ps3 play though years ago. What's even better is I never beat the game back then so a lot is new.
I am really impressed with the polish on the start of the game. How it feels so original and fun. It is missing some of the crafting from fallout 4, but that's OK, this is a different experience, and the non talking main character helps immersion. It's also amazing the radio stations, music they chose, the visceral feel of chopping a head off or dismemberment. This wasn't a copy of another 3d game as far as those elements. They successfully combined tes with the fallout universe but it wasn't just oblivion with guns.
Also the lighting and sound effects were amazing. The sense of tension and atmosphere in some of the abandoned values, sewers and metro subways was amazing.
It's ashame Bethesda hasn't made anything up to this level since fallout 4. Almost 8 years ago now. Wtf is that studio even doing for years now. It can't all be fallout 76.
Man on Steam Deck I would love these and the Originals, thats the selling point for me, older steam library games on the go, maybe one day...Replaying it now, but on the steam deck.

i enjoyed fallout 4 just as much as i did f3 & f:nv, so i can't really help you. i'd say that if you continue to have fun with f4, then you can be assured that there's 2 other games you're gonna enjoy, as well...First off, i've not played any of them until I started a playthrough recently of Fallout 4, i'm at about level 15 at the mo.

You forgot Brotherhood of SteelI dont want to rank them because ranking the best RPG franchise is hard. But im going to split them into tiers.
S tier:
Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Fallout New Vegas
A tier:
Fallout 3 (while the story is shit, the open world is good and the transition to 3D helped create New Vegas so i have to give it credit)
B tier:
Fallout 4, Fallout tactics
C tier:
....
D tier:
Fallout 76, Fallout shelter
Aye, didnt play it, actually forgot it existed lol.You forgot Brotherhood of Steel
Also 76 is not that bad
OverratedFallout 3 is incredible.............but it's not half as good as the best Fallout game ever.............. New Vegas.
It is free on epic store pc and it probably run on a potato.Any way to play these on modern systems? (In my case PS5) Don't say PS Now or some shit please.
My favourite experience of that era was the Mass Effect trilogy, but Fallout 3 comes right after that.Fallout 3 is arguably my favourite game of the 360/PS3 era.
It was such a unique experience.
Just download a savegameShame that Fallout 3 does not support cloud saves on Steam. I wanted to continue on Steam Deck but nope, I would need to start from the start. And the into is so long and so boring after you played that game 4 or 5 times.
I never really got into Mass Effect, to be honest.My favourite experience of that era was the Mass Effect trilogy, but Fallout 3 comes right after that.
Same here both are very special to me from that Era, Dead Space and CoD as wellMy favourite experience of that era was the Mass Effect trilogy, but Fallout 3 comes right after that.
I never really got into Mass Effect, to be honest.
My big favourites from that era were Bioshock, MGS4, TLOU, Rage, and probably the original CoD MW.
All excellent games, and I agree, what an awesome time for videogames! I'll throw in another one that came out in November 2006: the first Gears of War. Man, that trailer alone gave me more enjoyment than some whole games coming out right now...Same here both are very special to me from that Era, Dead Space and CoD as well
Hell 2007-09 was an amazing year for games
Yes, I forget Dead Space...and what about the original Red Dead Redemption?Same here both are very special to me from that Era, Dead Space and CoD as well
Hell 2007-09 was an amazing year for games
Gears 2 was another massive one for me.All excellent games, and I agree, what an awesome time for videogames! I'll throw in another one that came out in November 2006: the first Gears of War. Man, that trailer alone gave me more enjoyment than some whole games coming out right now...
Yeah, it was just banger after banger... that's also the time we got BioShock and Crysis and the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Assassin's Creed and and and....Gears 2 was another massive one for me.
The more thought I give it the more I agree with your statement about it being an awesome time for video games.
