Hey everyone! I heard and read many opinions regarding fallout 3 on Ps3. Most of them are unfortunatelly negative. So, what is it with those technical issues??? Is it really unforgivable??? I would really want to play that game but I"m just worried that I'll be disappointed. Can anyone tell me if it is that bad? I also read that some patches came out. Are they doing anything to fix the issues?? thanks ;) Anyway, I'm a proud PS owner!!!! Playstation rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its alot better since the patch.. but there are still a few bugs.. the biggest problem is freezing.. although it happens pretty randomly..

it's a great game, but we did get screwed because it is a bad port... i started to play it on the ps3 then i heard trophies were coming out (yes got it when it first came out... trophies are out now) ... so held of it, and got sidetracked by prince of persia, quantum of solace and dead space... but my friends were saying nothing but good things about it and said it was like oblivion (which i loved)... so i played it on the computer and enjoyed it greatly... so i doubt the ps3 version even with graphical errors and some freezing will stop you from enjoying it...

While it is the worst version aviable, it isn't bad at all. There are some bugs that screw your Game, you better make sure to have multiple saves. But well, that's it, I've spent over 20 hours with this Game and encountered about 2 Bugs where I couldn't move and one somehow bug where a NPC who followed me got stuck, but they all weren't Game breaking because you can *teleport* to any found location on the map.

Its supposedly the worst version of an awesome game, so at the very least that makes it better than 90% of the other games available. To be fair, I only played the PS3 version so I have no real idea how it compares, and i dont really care. Great game.

Assuming you can download the patch, it's fine... if you can't, it's aggravating but not gamebreaking. Worth taking .5 off the review score, but not worth anyone missing out on this game. One of the best games I've played in ages.

Ok I'm convinced. I guess I'll be picking up that game. I see that whatever this game offers outweights the bugs etc. Anyway, it's an rpg, so graphics arn't most important... thanks guys

Buy it. The game has bugs every once in a while, but you can usually load up an autosave and work around them. No biggie.

I just bought it yesterday, and it looks fantastic, besides being a ton of fun. I also have Oblivion and now that I'm playing Fallout 3, it feels like everything that Oblivion should have been. It seems even more well thought out, giving me rewards for doing spontaneous things that wouldn't have made a difference in Oblivion. I also think the character models look far better, and the voice acting is better as well. Now I can finally care about the people in the game, whereas in Oblivion most of the people seemed like generic actors who just moved the story along. Also, Fallout 3 is back to the "gain levels from experience points" system, which is nice to have again. The PS3 version does have elements that look better than in the 360 version, just like with Oblivion. I haven't encountered a single glitch and I'm happy to say that this is one of the best games I've ever played. The game pays attention to things you do that the game doesn't even suggest for you to do--you just think of things on your own sometimes, and take action, and suddenly you're getting an award for doing it. This is the real "Choose Your Own Adventure". Having lazer guns and grenades doesn't hurt either. Long live Oblivion with guns!

It's better on the PS3 than it is on the X360. Better graphics, better controls. The bugs are long since fixed.

Just bought it today and was playing the whole day. The game is amazing! Even though I'm not a first person view fan, and the game isn't in 1080, the graphics and environment look great. I can see that this game is mainly made for the pc, so all the bugs and whatever are forgivable for me. Too bad that most of the reviews are biased towards the ps3 version. There maybe are visually and technically better versions, but you still get the same experience from all of them. I just wish that the third person wouldn't be so akwardly unnatural, unplayable.... But that's just my preferd style; I somehow don't buy that first person realism.... Anyway, I recommend this game for PS3 owners!!!!

well what you list is no big deal oblivion was same way and is probably the best ps3 game to date to me anyway but Fo 3 gameplay sucks story sucks. it makes up for it slightly with amount of stuff you can do and weapons selection but overall it is a decent game but bugs arent that big of a deal

I like Fallout 3 beacuse I think Fallout 3 has more freedom than Oblivion. For example, it's easier to commit crimes and such. but the negative is that Fallout 3 is pretty small if you compare to Oblivion. I love big sandboxes to play in, and thats why I love rpg.

Just bought Fallout 3 today, played for about 2 hrs...I love it, Hopefully it excites me enough to give Oblivion another go, i couldnt get into it for some reason.

Fallout 3, no glitches so far, beautiful, fun... def worth it IMO

i give oblivion a 7.5 and fallout 3 and 8. while in my opinion they are both overrated fallout 3 i say is better there is more variety with the weapons and enemies. and glitches are not that common for me. i was a floating head once but thats it.
