I am a huge Fallout fan and it started with Fallout 3. I was just in awe of that game, but I think part of that is just that it was one of the first open world games I'd played. It's still in my all time top 10 though.
It is very flawed, but it's also where I started, so I do have fond memories of playing it. NV is still my favorite Fallout game, especially the DLCS. There were things I liked about 4, especially since it took place in Massachusetts (where I grew up), but I didn't like the constant settlement rescuing, the ending felt like a retread of the ending of F3 so the suspense and fun fell flat, and neither siding with the Brotherhood or Institute felt satisfying. The Brotherhood in particular seemed especially stupid. The group that's been hoarding technology since their inception, and they want to completely destroy the Institute rather than take it over and use the technology for their own ends?! It's bizarre.
@@elvangulley3210 im not the hugest fo3 fan ... but just to mention one thing .... this is YOUR opinion , opinions are alone.... like at that moment where we die ... there we alone too ... and noone cares afterwards (even noone might care for this comment .. its als valid as yours)
As someone who's first Fallout was Fallout 3 back in the day like everyone else, this game has aged miserably, in every single way. Literally any other mainline Fallout game, arguably even FO4 simply because it's more modern, is better. There are really easy and streamlined ways to play FO1, 2 and New Vegas these days, and those games have endured the test of time through good core gameplay loop and story/writing depth.
I started on the Original Fallout.. I loved the concept of 3 because GTA was so successful with the 3rd person change. Subway tunnels stopped me from playing for almost a year and have ran a lot of my friends off
I remember buying this game and immediately proceeding to blow up megaton, making further progress pretty hard for a beginner. Started a new playthrough a few weeks later and had a blast.
Pretty good video, Grey! I like the blend of a "Number List of Things about Franchise/Entry" combined with that dip into the lore and development aspect to it. Harken's me back to the days of channels who would do this kinda thing, talk about different aspects, do build/building videos, etc...Shaddy Cast and TheNthApple come to mind, gone, but remembered. I do like the style, and cant wait to see more. I personally still dislike Bethesda's ever-decreasing standard of lore, and the plot holes it creates; but Im in it for the worldbuilding, so ofcourse thats my gripe! LOL (Because, *gasp* , graphics are a transitory factor to the enjoyability of a game! Less Minecraft be a reminder!)
I always wondered why it was so hard for me to get into 3, and I think you just nailed it. 4 was my first, so I know and will openly admit that I am 100% biased. New Vegas? No problem! It was easy to get into, and incredibly fun but I guess 3 just missed the mark for me.
@@nemstalgia 4 has better minute to minute gameplay, and has alot more features and mechanics that are actually new. 3 had new things, but compared to its predecessors its just no competition. Id take tactics over 3. And at least BOS is fun to play as a joke, despite being pretty annoying
I got a 360 back in 2006. My first Bethesda game was Oblivion and I was blown away. On the heels of that, when FO3 came out I was excited to try it out... a game with many of the same gameplay mechanics as Oblivion but set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I loved it! When I exited the vault, one of the first places I came across was Megaton, and there were so many different people to meet and quests to do there. Then there was the introduction to the karma system, and I had a blast playing multiple times switching between good and evil characters.
Heh, I got my start with Fallout 3 and it's still my favorite Fallout. No other game has managed to capture the quiet feeling of isolation and desperation, the subtle horror of entering a building and finding it decked out with gore from a group of cannibal raiders. Despite the Capital Wasteland being the most dead location, it feels the most alive.
I agree with a lot of this - but just to point out the Fallout 3 BOS are already racist, that one was not Maxson's "contribution." If you speak to the ghouls in Underworld, several of them say BOS soldiers try to shoot them on sight without caring of they're ferals or not.
I'm an OG Fallout player, finished 1 and 2 between 5 and 10 times each, all the endings of NV, and 4 more times than I want to admit. Only finished 3 once, using godmode console command because the story just didn't interest me at all.
I just realised Paradise Falls means paradise ends. Clever. Also fallout 3 is my favorite fallout game but fallout 4 is the most fun. Number 3 is just really nostalgic for me and I enjoyed it so much as a kid and young adult.
@@elvangulley3210 yeah fallout 3 is too glitchy for me I couldn't even complete the main quest when I last played it but I still like it cause I had all the DLCs and fallout 4 I think is underrated because it has good graphics and the shooting is so fun but after u beat the main quest it's kind of boring and the DLC are not bad
Why they removed the party system in the FO 3 is beyond my understanding. The character interactions of your followers made the game more fun and immersive. Appreciate your honest and fair opinions. Just for your information: The GOG version comes with the bug fix mod and works much better than the Box or Steam version. In FO 4 I run a mod allowing a party of 6.
Another thing that sucks about Fallout 3 is that the 4 roaming traders can be killed. You just need to be near them to have them loaded in the environment. I have come across one of them dead on so many of my early playthroughs, because they fought a deathclaw or giant scorpion. I started reverse pickpocketing them all my extra power armor suits, and plasma weapons. If you get at max picking range, and pop a stealthboy, it might work. A bit of save/reloading is worth it to save my traders :)
Yeah. It also made in worthless to actually invest caps into expending their inventories. It seemed in my games that once I invested, they'd get killed before I could buy from them.
As someone who was introduced to the Fallout franchise after playing Fallout 3 and whose favourite game remains Fallout 3 all these years later, I agree 100%.
I would have to majorly disagree with this. Still to this day nothing(aside from maybe Breath of the wild) have given me the satisfaction of exploring the huge open world as fallout 3. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but it's a top 5 game of all time to me.
I had fall out one when it came out back in the day. I really couldn't get into it that much for some reason. I never bothered with fallout 2 even though I had friends who loved it. But when I saw fallout 3 at E3 on G4, back when it was good, I was like yeah I can't wait to play this. I lived in DC for 6 years. I can tell you that while the Metro sucks, it's nowhere near as bad as it is in fallout 3. That was really the worst part of that game for me. Going through the metro.
I hope that's the case, I will be experiencing it for the first time here in a few months.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I absolutely love fallout 3. I have played all of the fallout that were made by bethesda and yet I have not had as much fun playing fallout 3 compared to the others. Even without dlc. And people complain a lot about the green in fallout 3 but I replayed it and realized it's a illusion due to the light gray colors and the pip of colors mixed with a few green colors like radioactive material which may potentially tire out your eyes.
its not an illusion lol, there is literally a green filter effect in fo3 unless you remove it with mods
7 месяцев назад
@@chugnuts4208 it must be color correction as they are sublte. After having played hte game for 200 hours I have not felt like there is a great deal of green aside from some of the grays and the pipboys. (I didn't mean illusion but it was a speculation. After messing around with some development hings in other games I discovered the magic of color correction.)
I loved the metro. Honestly I wish they divided up Boston similarly to help it actually render and not crash every minute like it currently does. It also made DC feel massive despite it's actual size and I loved being able to see that the city continued on past where we could go
The BOS in FO3 was my favorite version. It was a good, but sad and disappointing twist in FO4 with the easy coast branch reverting. I wish they had developed it where you could over throw Maxxim and align the BOS with either the Minutemen, the Institute, or align all 3 together
I knew you were gonna put hangmans alley on the list. I had a lot of fun building a multistory building in it. Shame about the bugged settlers that never leave the ground though
I do wonder wrt #5 how much Bethesda and Obsidian discussed the path of the Brotherhood, since Owens ends up being completely correct about the west coast brotherhood.
@@canadian__ninja The video is wrong. Owyn Lyons was from the Lost Hills bunker, not the Mojave. What makes even less sense is the presence of Maxon on this “suicide” expedition. They left the lost hills in 2254, Sarah Lyons was 3, Maxon not even born. That would mean that Maxon’s parents or at the very least Mother was sent on the expedition.
Exactly! I started with Fallout 4 and then around 4 years later (fallout 4 replacing anything related to watching t.v.) I bought F3 and was deeply surprised how much was missing from this game. I found myself constantly blocked by trash heaps in so many directions. Boring people and a desolate sense of doom from start to now as I still fire her up to find any vindication for it. Fallout 4, with the cheeky attitude and lovely production will more than likely be the pinnacle of the series...and don't get me started on all the hard workers that added millions of concepts to the legend of Fallout 4.
@@elvangulley3210 ~ Yeah...far better to go trublumbling through a desert and be extremely bored while doing it. F4 has all kinds of things going on all over the place. And it looks sharp as all hell doing it. In 2015, F4 looked amazing. Plus there is a building dynamic and other human interactions that come from nowhere.
I started with NV on PS3. Then 3, next. I immediately liked 3 more. NV crashed more than a drunk baby driving a truck. So just playing a stable game was night and day better. I was, however, totally bored by the story. I finished the game just to get it over with. No Aim Down Sights made combat lackluster. And the mind numbing subways. But after NV, the map was more interesting. It felt more alive, more randomness. More interesting locations to explore. NV felt linear. You go to Primm, and down and around. Unless you’re a pro going to rob the casinos at level 1, LCK 10. Walking out of 3, I felt i could go anywhere. Of course, Fo4’s world and gameplay is on a whole other level. It’s Survival Mode is far better. I like it’s RPG being centered on the companions. And it’s more fun for me that i can roleplay , and not worry that being a dick will scuttle quests. RPG-lite is more fun. I never really bought into the skill checks system. There’s no real chance to fail, once you level x, y or z stat.
@@elvangulley3210 You might want a doctor to check your butt for hurt. Let me guess…. NV is the best Fallout? The NV fanboys are the only ones who can’t handle criticism, or the fact someone doesn’t think NV is unquestionably superior, and lash out like you just did. Certainly, you’re entitled to your opinion. You have your tastes. But they’re subjective to your reality, not objective reality. That you would treat someone as you did, is unquestionably without class.
New Vegas still the best one. Fallout 4 has better graphics and is more stable, but is very lineair story wise and has plot holes. Bethesda needs obsidian to make great fallout games.
I'd say people just have the ratings wrong. NV is a 9.7/10 for sure. But 3 and 4 aren't failures or even average. Both are really good games(maybe even great), just not amazing Fallout games in comparison to the established lore/tone/storyline. Like if 3, 4, and 76 had all been a new franchise set in a new post apocalypse, they'd be awesome and not held up to standards of an entirely different company.
New Vegas has s very linear map while Fallout 4 has a more open world map. I love New Vegas, but we have to admit that Bethesda did a better job with open world exploration than Obsidian.
Hi, im new to Fallout, and i just got FO4 from Steam on sale a week or so ago. As a girl gamer, its not easy to find games when i can play a woman, a mother, and make choices to reflect that. I am having a hayday with FO4 because its the best game ive found so far in this respect. Edit: I naked the Institute with the BoS they are a Noble faction. But i noticed something that was in Skyrim. It came up when Elder Maxim ask me to kill that Synth called Paladin Danse.Even after ive proven my zeal He said something as if the quest wasn't designed that the player would make that decision.
Fallout 3 was the first of the Fallouts I played, and the last of the Fallouts I finished. I found it difficult to follow some of the quest lines, and because I did not really know how to read the campus marker it made some more of the quests very difficult. I can agree that a Noob Fallout 3 is difficult, however, it does lay a good foundation for playing New Vegas and Fallout 4. Ant the Raiders in Power Armor, oops I mean the Brotherhood of Steel, is the last faction I would support on Fallout 4. Before the release of Nuka World and Far Harbor, I completed the game using all 4 factions. (this was before I discovered Mods.) The real sadness is that you cannot save the Institute using any of the factions other than the Institute.
Fallout 3 was the first Fallout game I ever played, and in fact the first big open world game I'd ever played. I came to the world of video games from the world of movies, so the sights and sounds of a video game are often just as important to me as the story and mechanics. There is still no better shot in any Fallout game than when you first open Vault 101 and see the blinding light and the decrepit Washington Monument in the background. I love seeing the decaying ruins of the famous real-world locations of Washington DC. I like that everything was an ugly gray/green color. I like that it really is a wasteland, with big stretches of nothing. All of those details set the mood for this particular post-apocalyptic wasteland. I love Three Dog and the music of Fallout 3.
FO3 was my first fallout game and I hated it at first. After revisiting it a decade later as an adult, I love it. I was too young to understand the mechanics. Great game!
I just played through this game again and honestly think it is a really boring title. The gameplay is super boring and the dialog is not good enough to make up for it. Even though i hate fallout 4 i think it is a better game than fallout 3. The only thing thate fallout 3 did better than 4 was the start of the game. 4 felt super linear for the first 3-4 hours while 3 opened up right after exiting the vault.
Fallout 3 was my first Fallout game. I didn’t like it at first, but I gave it two second chances and on the third try it clicked. It may be flawed, but I still love Fallout 3 and it is the reason I played not just it, but the ever loving crap out of New Vegas and am currently working on playthroughs of both the original and Fallout 4.
Fallout 3 was my first fallout game, and to this day I still don’t think any other fallout game really captures the atmosphere in fallout 3. The game is simply a masterpiece.
Fallout 3 is actually my second favorite game in the series. I dont want a devolped wasteland with lots to do. I want a empty hopeless world where you can do your best and fail. I want a game where despite you helping your people your rejected by them. I want a game where there isnt a happy ending. I want a game where while the comedy is there its subdued. I want a game like fallout 1 and I feel for the most part fallout 3 is the best successor to fallout 1 . fo2 leans way to hard into a lively world where the tone is nonsensical and full of annoying popculture references. I hate this. I hate that every other game after it does it. I enjoy that while fallout 3 does have references and trys to be funny at time its not the main focus. the focus is the lost burnt world. I adore that.
Fallout 3 makes me feel like I have much more freedom to explore than fallout new vegas with it’s suffocating walls and lackluster locations that melt together into obscurity.
For the old fans, Fallout 3 was horrible because it wasn't anything like Fallout 2. We kinda had the same reaction that everybody had with Fallout 76, just a decade earlier.
Fallout 2 is by far the worst for noobs. Making a good build is complicated. The whole game is complicated. The Temple of Plotholes (Temple of Trials) is hard. The UI is only slightly better than in Fallout 1.
It's supposed to be played on Win XP, so it's not an issue with the age of the computer itself. The fucking thing will crash approx. a hundred times per play through on later Win versions.
depends on the system. even on windows vista when I played the games for windows version it was pretty crashy. on windows 7 I had to go to nexus and install the unofficial patch just to make it stable enough to play. on windows 10 I had to disable autosave on travel to get rid of a persistent crash there, but in the process of recording this video, I made it an entire playthrough on a brand new windows 11 rig without a single mod, or workaround to keep it stable. some hardware just seems to handle it better than others.
Okay these are 5 reasons you don't like it, and they're all valid but why are they specifically bad for noobs? FO3 is the best entry point because NV and FO4 build upon it and work on the problems you've identified in the video
FO3 was my first fallout game and I hated it at first. After revisiting it a decade later as an adult, I love it. I was too young to understand the mechanics. Great game!

I'd say people just have the ratings wrong. NV is a 9.7/10 for sure. But 3 and 4 aren't failures or even average. Both are really good games(maybe even great), just not amazing Fallout games in comparison to the established lore/tone/storyline.
Like if 3, 4, and 76 had all been a new franchise set in a new post apocalypse, they'd be awesome and not held up to standards of an entirely different company.
Yeah, after playing Outer Worlds I would not want obsidian to make any future fallout games.
I'm glad new vegas is getting its due. It got so much hate for years while everyone said 3 was so much better. Personally I love both tho.
All of them are great, only in different ways. They would most likely suck if they all were too similar.
New Vegas has s very linear map while Fallout 4 has a more open world map. I love New Vegas, but we have to admit that Bethesda did a better job with open world exploration than Obsidian.
Hi, im new to Fallout, and i just got FO4 from Steam on sale a week or so ago. As a girl gamer, its not easy to find games when i can play a woman, a mother, and make choices to reflect that. I am having a hayday with FO4 because its the best game ive found so far in this respect. Edit: I naked the Institute with the BoS they are a Noble faction. But i noticed something that was in Skyrim. It came up when Elder Maxim ask me to kill that Synth called Paladin Danse.Even after ive proven my zeal He said something as if the quest wasn't designed that the player would make that decision.

I started on Fallout 2. It is so worth a playthrough if what you like is the atmosphere and the story.
" Completionisted " We HAVE to make that an actual word !🤣🤣
And I thought it would be because of the lack of iron sights and other basic gameplay mechanics, lol.
Fallout 3 was the first of the Fallouts I played, and the last of the Fallouts I finished. I found it difficult to follow some of the quest lines, and because I did not really know how to read the campus marker it made some more of the quests very difficult. I can agree that a Noob Fallout 3 is difficult, however, it does lay a good foundation for playing New Vegas and Fallout 4. Ant the Raiders in Power Armor, oops I mean the Brotherhood of Steel, is the last faction I would support on Fallout 4. Before the release of Nuka World and Far Harbor, I completed the game using all 4 factions. (this was before I discovered Mods.) The real sadness is that you cannot save the Institute using any of the factions other than the Institute.
Love the channel
I liked BoS in fallout 3 not so much in fallout 4
Love fallout 3 so nostalgic
Love that Obama failcare dig.
That health care plan joke made me literally laugh out loud.😝

Fallout 3 & NV should both get remakes in the new engine. It would make both games exponentially better.
That would be amazing. New power armour would be the only concern.
Fallout 3 was the first Fallout game I ever played, and in fact the first big open world game I'd ever played. I came to the world of video games from the world of movies, so the sights and sounds of a video game are often just as important to me as the story and mechanics. There is still no better shot in any Fallout game than when you first open Vault 101 and see the blinding light and the decrepit Washington Monument in the background. I love seeing the decaying ruins of the famous real-world locations of Washington DC. I like that everything was an ugly gray/green color. I like that it really is a wasteland, with big stretches of nothing. All of those details set the mood for this particular post-apocalyptic wasteland. I love Three Dog and the music of Fallout 3.
I would love to see more of this and I think a lot of us would like to see more
Still in my top 10.
FO3 was my first fallout game and I hated it at first. After revisiting it a decade later as an adult, I love it. I was too young to understand the mechanics. Great game!
I think he potential for a Lyons style BOS actually is quite reasonable in FO4, if you play it that way. So I might disagree with you a little :)
I just played through this game again and honestly think it is a really boring title. The gameplay is super boring and the dialog is not good enough to make up for it. Even though i hate fallout 4 i think it is a better game than fallout 3. The only thing thate fallout 3 did better than 4 was the start of the game. 4 felt super linear for the first 3-4 hours while 3 opened up right after exiting the vault.
holy moly Grey, your fkn hilarious. that opening monologue...*chefs fingertip kiss*
Fallout 3 was my first Fallout game. I didn’t like it at first, but I gave it two second chances and on the third try it clicked.
It may be flawed, but I still love Fallout 3 and it is the reason I played not just it, but the ever loving crap out of New Vegas and am currently working on playthroughs of both the original and Fallout 4.
Fallout 3 was great for its time but new vegas is the best in my opinion
Fallout 3 was my first fallout game, and to this day I still don’t think any other fallout game really captures the atmosphere in fallout 3. The game is simply a masterpiece.
Grey is one of those youtubers where getting bored is not possible! Keep up the great work!
Me: bored shitless 5 seconds in.
Fallout 3 was a product of its time. When I played it in 2022, I loathed it and questioned everything in this game.
WHY WOULD THEY ADD BULLET DROP?
Fallout 3 is actually my second favorite game in the series. I dont want a devolped wasteland with lots to do. I want a empty hopeless world where you can do your best and fail. I want a game where despite you helping your people your rejected by them. I want a game where there isnt a happy ending. I want a game where while the comedy is there its subdued. I want a game like fallout 1 and I feel for the most part fallout 3 is the best successor to fallout 1 . fo2 leans way to hard into a lively world where the tone is nonsensical and full of annoying popculture references. I hate this. I hate that every other game after it does it. I enjoy that while fallout 3 does have references and trys to be funny at time its not the main focus. the focus is the lost burnt world. I adore that.
Fallout 3 makes me feel like I have much more freedom to explore than fallout new vegas with it’s suffocating walls and lackluster locations that melt together into obscurity.
Fallout 3s world makes no sense you aren't a fallout fan so I can understand why you like that trash
For the old fans, Fallout 3 was horrible because it wasn't anything like Fallout 2. We kinda had the same reaction that everybody had with Fallout 76, just a decade earlier.
The main storyline hooks you? Since when? The storyline is freaking awful, from start to finish.
Wise man. The girlfriends have done nothing but hurt me
Game actually looks a little better on series x
I hate fallout 3.. sorta
Fallout 2 is by far the worst for noobs. Making a good build is complicated. The whole game is complicated. The Temple of Plotholes (Temple of Trials) is hard. The UI is only slightly better than in Fallout 1.
You will need to mod the game to play on modern pc.
It's supposed to be played on Win XP, so it's not an issue with the age of the computer itself. The fucking thing will crash approx. a hundred times per play through on later Win versions.
depends on the system. even on windows vista when I played the games for windows version it was pretty crashy. on windows 7 I had to go to nexus and install the unofficial patch just to make it stable enough to play. on windows 10 I had to disable autosave on travel to get rid of a persistent crash there, but in the process of recording this video, I made it an entire playthrough on a brand new windows 11 rig without a single mod, or workaround to keep it stable. some hardware just seems to handle it better than others.
The lock picking lawyer plays fallout
this man has not played new Vegas yet didn't he
fallout 4's intresting charcters are about as bland as a manila folder they are far from interesting
Okay these are 5 reasons you don't like it, and they're all valid but why are they specifically bad for noobs?
FO3 is the best entry point because NV and FO4 build upon it and work on the problems you've identified in the video
nah its a great introduction to an open world game, u start off as a kid, its the only oficial games that makes it
FO3 was my first fallout game and I hated it at first. After revisiting it a decade later as an adult, I love it. I was too young to understand the mechanics. Great game!
