As you may imagine, I started to play Fallout because of the Prime Video show. I always wanted to get into fallout, but I thought that I wouldn't like this type of massive RPGs with huge stories and all that... but oh boy, I was very wrong.
Fallout 3 has become one of my favorite games of all time, only being surpassed by Red Dead 2 and TLOU (and maybe Death Stranding?). I want (and will) play all the other main fallout games, I literally fell in love with this series.
But now, let's get into the actual review of the game. Nowadays, I would say that it kinda aged well, new players will probably get lost a bit with this entry of the series but for the most part I say that it's aight, on Windows 11 I had constant crashes, specially when Alt+Tabbing. I was using the Epic Games version of the game, but AFAIK this happens in the steam and gog versions too.
But apart from that (very minor things imo), this game is amazing. It has a personality that cannot be matched by any other game ever, the story of the vaults and its experiments is just incredible, I've watched tons of videos on YouTube about them, it also has amazing music that fits this era very nicely.
It has a great story, but I think that there aren't that many important decisions. I imagine that this will be different in New Vegas or 4 (I imagine because I haven't played those, lol). I never felt that this was a big deal since it's the first 3D fallout and the story was pretty nice, so no complaints, just letting y'all know.
The game also has like a weird green tint, some people hate it, but other like me love it. I think that it build that type of nuclear wasteland, you know what I mean? I've seen some gameplays of Fallout 4 and I always thought that it was too colorful.
The graphics in general are fine, like it doesn't look that bad. But if you're used to the average AAA from the 2020s then it might be kinda of, annoying I guess? Some places defo look more outdated than others.
But most importantly, I would recommend this game to everyone. As I said earlier, if you're not used to this type of RPGs, I would recommend starting with Fallout 4 or 76 (and yes, 76 is actually fun). Don't expect the game of the century because it's pretty bare bones compared to more modern games, but I had a lot of fun playing it, both the base game and all of its expansions.
