Say what you want about the glitches. Say what you want about how it was like “Skyrim without guns.” Say it had no place being a first-person-shooter. Say ALL those things. Go ahead, do it. I don’t care. Fallout 3 blew my mind and is one of the best games that this console generation has to offer. It is honestly incredible.
First and foremost, I really loved the V.A.T.S combat system, and across 100+ hours I never grew tired of blowing apart a skull in slow-motion and watching the eyeballs and skull bits fly away, all high-def and super slow, of course. I also loved the story, the amount of freedom it allowed the player, and just the decrepit, hopeless feeling that roaming around a burnt and broken Washington gave the player. The world that Bethesda built for the game is truly a sight to behold and for those who really enjoy exploration, you will lose hundred and hundreds of hours to Fallout 3.
On top of all that, Liam Neeson plays the main character’s Dad. If you think that is not a win, you must be a commie. Wait, can people still be those?
