is fallout 3 a monumental experience?

So is it? by monumental is it something as a gamer that i SHOULD experience?

For me monumental games are; ES:Oblivion, halo 2, bioshock, mass effect series, metal gear series, ocarina of time, gears of war 1, etc.

Opinions please

Some people might come to troll/bash topics like this one ( ' is X game amazing ' ), but the truth is yes, especially if you liked Oblivion. It's a great game: the atmosphere, the exploration, the graphics ( at least for its time, were great ) -- there's more to the Wasteland than meets the eye.

It's one of the best, though I wouldn't necessarily use the same word to describe it.

yeah, if you like Oblivion then you'll like Fallout 3, I recommend it over New Vegaslamprey263

Would take a 180 degree turn on that one. Outside of the bugs present at lanch, New Vegas as a massive improvement in every way over Fallout 3, which, to me, felt forced, overdone, and shallow in every way possible.

Monumental? I don't know. It has a place for sure, but the 100/100 I saw coming from reviews were drastically bloated, and left little room for really constructive criticism about how good or not the game really was.

Bad? By no means, but in my humble opinion Bethesda has produced a lot better games, both before and after.

There are some game that should absoletely be experienced at least once and Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas fall under that cathegory....even if you did not like Oblivion.

I hate Western RPG's but I made a exception for fallout

It was ok, it had a better main storyline than oblivion(not hard to do that though). I wouldnt say it was monumental, i would say ME games were way more monumental.

I think its on a par with ES:O, Bioshock and ME. I didn't enjoy New Vegas as much though

i didnt enjoy it and i love bethseda games.. in fact i felt bored playing it

yep, it's terrific :)

If you have never played a Fallout game then 3 would be a good place to start if you have no interest in going back and playing the originals. It is the weakest entry of all the main Fallout games though.smerlus

Bethesda acquiring the Fallout franchise was one of the best things that could have happened to it.

Fallout 3 is a game you have to play if you enjoy video games.

Fallout 3 summed up what I was looking for in an RPG. An amazing setting, excellent characters, and one of the best stories I've ever seen in a game. I thought the ES: Oblivion quest was far inferior to other aspects of the game such as the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood. In Fallout 3 the main quest is touching, heartfelt, and one of the more down to earth stories I have yet to see in a game.My only complaint about it is that in the begininng of the game, when your skills are low, it is ridiculous to see a target take five or six .32 rounds to the head and survive to attack you. And thats on normal. Oh and the voices are like Oblivions, as many people sound the same.

Judging by the games you listed you will definitely like Fallout 3. I loved the game, the world they created was amazing. So yes I considered it a monumental experience and not something to miss out on

Well that is really a matter of opinion. For me personally, yes it is. It is a game you have to experience for yourself though.

There are plenty of Momuments in Fallout 3 The Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Momment to name just 2... wait what :shock:

oblivion wasnt monumental, morrowind was.Allicrombie

I have to agree there. I put easily over 100 hours into Morrowind but only played till I got out of the sewer in Oblivion.

Yes it certainly was for me. One of my favorite games this generation.

It's a very good game with a lot of technical bugs. I still enjoyed it a lot overall. "Monumental"? No, just enjoyable.

I would agree that it's a monumental experience. It's definately in my top 5 all time.

Oh yes, I have 150 hours on just one character, that is a great game.

Yes, it was just amazing, the Wasteland is amazing, the quests are amazing, the game is 80 hours of pure addictive brilliance.

I can't really describe fallout 3

that atmosphere, the music, the story.

it felt real.

that's the only way i can describe it.
