In retrospect, would you rate Fallout 3 a 10?

I think I would. Months after it's release I am still coming back to it and still finding out new things. It has it's flaws, but every perfect 10 does because nothing is ever perfect, but I think Fallout 3 gets closer than almost any other game in this current gen.

Using the logic that even perfect 10 games have flaws, I guess maybe. But I'd probably feel more comfortable with a 9.3 just because of glitching and graphical issues.

Depends on your idea of a 10: 1. Is it perfection (then there are no 10's) 2. The best game this generation in that genre

Yes. And I would give Oblivion a ten as well...two of the best games I've ever played.

I don't think the regular version is a 10. But with all of the DLC I would give it a 10.

I gave it a 9.5. There are some graphical issues and I had it lock up on me quite a few times which caused hours of lost time.

That's debatable. I enjoyed GTA IV more than Fallout myself.

I don't think any game is an absolute perfect 10; not even the great Metal Gear Solid 4. However, Fallout 3 does come very close to a perfect 10. You can really tell that Bethesda put in a lot of time to make this game special. It is clearly separates itself from the other games.

I'd give it a 9.0-9.5... I really enjoyed that game but it had its flaws. On another note, I disagree with GS for giving GTAIV a 10...

No way.. I enjoyed the game but the combat was decent and the story was pretty bad. If they improve that with the next version I still doubt I will give it a 10. The only developer that can create games that are even close to being worthy of a 10 is Bioware because they can deliver a great story with characters that you care about. Seriously play Point Lookout that one point wasn't even sad.. I hated most of those characters.

yeah, most def. i know its a good game when i find myself stopping playing it not because its bad but rather because i dont want to discover everything and have it end (that, AND the lame level cap, so im waiting until i buy more dlc so i can get some of the perks - level cap being one of the few flaws) but im still loving it. ive yet to do all the quests from the first game, as well as three dlcs. ill have plenty more for quite some time (even new vegas) so yes, i would most def give it a 10, seeing as im still excited to explore the wasteland

I would probably give it an 8.5-9.0. 10 is way too high imo.

Making it so weapons & ammo are scarce during parts of the game adds to the difficulty, however adds to it in a good way.

Maybe 8.5-9.0. Aiming is too clunky outside of VATS, and I don't like the way they handled the repair system.

Yeah combat outside of VATS was a pain not always but with certain weapons the problem became huge. Although I didn't mind the repair system I felt it was strange that he didn't just use the hammers and scrap metal or something like that.

No professional review said that it was perfect. Sure Gamespot describes a 10 as perfect, but if you read the review, cons are pointed out which would already tell you the game isn't perfect.

I really did not give fallout 3 the time of day but watching so many people enjoying it makes me want to go back to it, but playing this game felt way too much like an mmo, I don't want to be playing for 4 hours straight and barely make it out of the first part of the game (not to be taken as literal more just to make a point). I like the idea that this game can be opened up with dlc, but I also think that to be a 10 the game not only has to be the best of its genre but push the envelope on the gaming industry as a whole, does it push that 59.99 price tag it is given, does it go beyond what most people thought to be impossible or improbable in a video game of this generation? I think to be a 10 it really has to make its mark in history as far as the game industry goes.

Also, I like to think about a perfect 10 game to still be in your life 20-30 years from now thinking back on how great gaming was for you, how we think back to the older genre of games now, a game that people want to keep going back to, but will never be able to touch.

It's probably not a "10-game" but on contrast if GTA IV got 10, then Fallout definitely deserves a 10. I'm not hating IV, it's just not a 10 for me.

Brennan_Probst

according to gamespots rating system, it actually rounds down to 9.5, so no :P

Anyways, yes i would rate Fallout 3 a 10, even though i've completed every quest in the game as well as the 3 first DLC's i still find small things that enhances the experience, like a trader out in the middel of nowhere that i own the crap out of :P
