Fallout 3 getting robbed.

Nice username...

Man, that's a great shame. 4 days ago, someone made a similar thread. Greatness has been ample this year, but only one game can take the game of the year award. Yes, only one game.Floppy_Jim

It didn't deserve RPGOTY, why would it deserve GOTY?-Skyfall

Because it is a great game...

I don't know about MGS4 because I've never played it, but I can safely say that Fallout 3 is epic.ch-ch-chaoguy

Eh. I thought it was a really good game, but it still suffered from the lame dialogue and bad cinematics of Oblivion. I wouldn't call it my favourite game of the year.

However, I did like it more than Grand Theft Auto IV, and about on par with MGS4, so I still think it could be getting more Game of the Year awards...

Fallout 3 is really awesome, but not quite GOTY for me, it slipped in a few categories, but it was AAA overall. 110million

I didnt like it at all. First of all there were too many missions that had you going into sewers that all looked exactly the same. Realistic? maybe. Boring? YES! Then there was the fact that almost all of the skills you could learn were useless. The only useful one was the repair skill. Then comes the archaic feeling gunplay. I don't know why whenever a dev makes an open world game, the gameplay becomes crap. Yes, its great that I can explore the world, but please...dont sacrafice gameplay for freedom. Why can't I have a game with great gunplay and AI like in the Half-Life, Halo, Gears, Resistance series but in an open world? The Oblivion, I mean Fallout3 gunplay was atrocious. Sure VATS was pretty cool but AP is kind of pointless when you can just blast sumone to death manually. Whats the point of AP when im using a shotty?

The story was a bit "meh" but thats very subjective and im sure a lot of people enjoyed it. Then comes the world....Look I realize its post nuclear holocaust, but for the love of god...can we please get some vareity? This game world was so boring...no wonder they could make it so big. It was just a large copy+paste job :( I didnt like it at all but im guessing it must be me because a lot of people love this game. And I also happen to be one of the few people who hated "Blog of the Old Republic" , I mean KOTOR. Seriously, that game could have done with less dialog. I have nothing against long cutscenes and dialog (MGS fan here :D) but i have a problem when the characters are static the entire time! :x snoozefest :(

I think I should buy mgs4 now..

Also the absolutely horrible animations would jar me out just as I was starting to fall into the game world. Terrible immersion breaker.

The story was lame and forgettable, it took 5 hours max to beat the story missions and the Side quests were boring and repetetive.

The only redeeming thing about it was the fantastic atmosphere. I'm glad it wasn't picked.

it felt like elder scrolls 4 with guns:P

but other than that its was a great game imo.

At least imo. By far the best game this year. The truely great games rarely get any love.nmaharg

not imo, fallout 3 is highly overrated .

Every single Bethsda game I have ever played, I have hated. After Oblivion I swore I would never buy another game from them. But, I love Fallout, so I had to pick it up, even knowing it would probably be garbage.

But I'm loving it. I almost feel guilty about it, but FO3 is an amazing game, even coming from Bethesda. It's definitely one of the best games of the year, and deserves some more recognition.

Even on NMA, you can see these long time Fallout fans who have been cursing Bethesda for years, and swearing that Fo3 would be terrible, suddenly switch there opinions around, and start to actually enjoy the game. I had been jokingly referring to Fo3 as TESV: Fallout, but not anymore. Fo3 is absolutely a worthy sequel.

Pfft they still whine. and about little things also.

http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46845, Now i was a fallout 3 basher, but really this is just stupid.

I just found it funny when the reviewer of MGS4 said you can't put a price tag on what MGS4 delivers... yes you can, $60.EuroMafia

I hate Fallout 3, its Oblivion with guns, no less, no more.division_9

[QUOTE="Pinkyimp"]

Agree, coming from FO1-2, i had the mindset that this game was going to suck...hard, but im glad that wasn't the case, im glad that this game bears the fallout name, it does the franchise justice IMO.agentfred

As a long time Fallout fan who finally bothered to pick F3 up a few days ago, I'm surprised that it's not as terrible as I thought it would be, either.

I wouldn't go as far as to call it a worthy sequel to the franchise (I've got far too many minor complaints), but it feels like a good sequel to Morrowind, if that makes any sense.
Still, I wouldn't call it game of the year-worthy.

no other game is as wide as fallout 3.Hellboard

I haven't seen everything in Fallout 3 yet, but it doesn't seem to have as much content as either of the previous Fallout games, and it looks like many of the quests take place in identical-looking underground sewers.

I'd guess that Morrowind and Gothic 3 are much 'wider', although Daggerfall makes even both of those look small.

Nice username...

I played it and liked it. Main campaign is a little short but plenty of stuff to do off the tracks. For some reason after I completed it, I didn't feel compelled to replay it. I wish it didn't come out on the X-box 360, it did felt like the prostitution and adult content (other then the gore) was removed from the game. I'm aware that the 360 doesn't want any naughty stuff in any of it's games, so I blame that.

So Annoying, I wanted to collect post apocalyptic STD's to go with my multitude of chem addictions.

I agree. As much as I love Fallout 3, I'm seriously addicted to it, I don't feel bad about MGS 4 getting GOTY. It's pretty easy to see why.
