#Fallout #Bethesda #Fallout3
Bruh. Fallout 3 was revolutionary for me during middle school. I'll always look fondly upon that time and think to myself just how glad I am to have those memories. Games like that really prove the medium as an art form.
Naw bruh new vegas was
@@mightyowl6666 New Vegas was superior, but they are both great games that hold a special place deep in the hearts of many gamers. Myself included.
Same, fallout 3 was my first Bethesda game around middle school time. I’ll always love it
@@Jim-Bob-Billy-Joe-Johnson We should honestly be grateful for the fact that we have both these games that appeal to diverse interest. Not many franchises have had amazing spinoffs & mainline entries.
@@ganjahiwalker2641 I feel ya. It was such a mindblowing game for kid me.
Fallout 3 is still my favorite game. As long as I can remember I always loved exploring maps and trying to find hidden secrets or easter eggs and Fallout 3 really caters to that gameplay. Plus the humor in there still tickles my funny bone
especially the random Deathclaw drop spawns? nothing funnier than running from a grenade, finding a deathclaw spawning above you and running from it only to find it attacking your foes for around a minute before attacking you...
Ah fallout 3 the only game I ever bought because the cover looked cool. Knew nothing about it went to game stop that night after getting off work to buy fable 2. Bought the game played through the opening vault got outside and was like “ what have I gotten into… Thought my BB gun could defeat a rad scorpion😂. Got chased around finally saw a school and thought school= safe. Nope walked into heard the raider background talk and was like nope . Turned the game off didn’t pick it up for a week. .. gave it another try and been a fallout fanatic ever since. Eventually got fable 2 and yeah I made the better pick….
Fable 2 isn’t that bad though, Fallout 3s definitely better
I did that wish Bioshock and not knowing anything about it
you made the right choice.
Both of those are great games.
you should try fall out new Vegas I played the game on ps3 it took me time too beat the game but it was well worth it if you have ps3 I highly recommend it
Fallout 3 just has that feeling of home, you just feel at peace while playing it, first time playing it just felt like you were truly playing a Fallout game, (before NV), I still play it to this day and it was the best
I remember when my dad finally let me play this. I’ll never forget walking out the vault for the first time. I spent so much time playing this
What age was that
I will never forget playing Fallout 3 for the first time. The nostalgia is Strong 🖤
Was it your first Bethesda game? I still can't get over the amount of detail and lore they put in their games
I first watched a friend play it at his house and I fell in love. I borrowed it a couple months later and played it to death. It’s still my favorite fallout game
Facts man, say what you want about other Fallouts but the capital wasteland is the best world bethesda has crafted
@@stephenelder3162 I’d easily put Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion’s game worlds over Fallout 3. If we are talking specifically about Bethesda’s Fallout entries then I agree 100%. Although the competition is non existent.
It was the first fallout game that i finished
Hands down the best atmosphere in a Fallout game ever! I remember picking this up for the first time back in high school, I was in awe from all the details in the world, I would play it for 10+ hours a day. My last playthrough (3rd overall) was about 3-4 years ago, and I was having a blast and discovering new things after all this time! This game has a soft spot in my heart 🖤Thanks for the nostalgia trip Matty, we defo want to see more of this, and full playthroughs as well!
Fallout 3 and Bloodborne tie for my favorite game of all time. I'll never forget Christmas 2008. I was 13 at the time and hadn't played anything like Fallout 3 before. Became an instant fanboy of the series since then.
Yeah fallout 3 has strong Bloodborne vibes especially in point lookout dlc or the dunwich building, all based by Lovecraftian themes, it was done really well in F3
Nice. Im with you on that one.
Legit one of the best games ever made
Right next to Saints row 1 its my favorite game of all time
This was also my first Fallout game, soooany memories. I was in a really bad place when this game came out, it helped carry me through so it holds a very special place ony heart.
Me to bro
I'll never forget Fallout 3. Was my first introduction to the Fallout universe and I loved every second of it. Would be cool to see you revisit Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast in honor or the Jedi series with Cal and maybe look back at how the franchise inspired Respawn's take.
I remember the first time you showed us that SPECIAL book a fan gifted to you. Time really flies. You're one of the few youtubers I still watch from when I was younger. thanks for all the sick videos Matty.
I just started playing this game again. I put it on very hard and just started going through every single location I come across and it's been super crazy for me. I put most of my early points into energy weapons hoping I'd find some good laser weapon somewhere. And now I'm really stuck going at a snails pace trying to survive and level up my other skills while getting destroyed in every firefight and using up all my ammo. But feels like how I would actually be in the wasteland and I love it. I slept on this game too long since I first played.
Which version ? Does it need any tweaking ?
@@babagandu I've been playing on the Xbox series s. It runs at 60 fps on next gen now so that's how I play so I don't have to mess with stuff on pc
@@christopherperkins8948 yeah, I was thinking of getting the disc and getting a series x
@@christopherperkins8948 i would pick up the metal blaster from the pitt
I just recently played it again this year and I finally 100% finished the game with all the achievements 🤘
What was your favorite quest? Mine was the fire ant one
How many hours did it cost you? 500?
@@amsterdamG2G I think I have around 200
@@jonathanburger7777 eh I enjoyed a lot of the quests so I don't really have a favorite.
But it would probably be the mothership zeta dlc quest
Including DLC?
Still prefer 3 over NV. Was my first FO game and I really love the world design, even though NV has better systems and gameplay mechanics.
That first moment you leave the vault and see the world completely fucked up is such a strong image.
Fo3 world> nv gameplay>
Yeah growing up in the vault for the first couple hours of the game and then exiting into the vast open wasteland is one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had, especially since Fallout 3 is one of the first open world games I've played
The world of fo3 don’t make sense
3 is the best to have as your first cause 1 and 2 are 2d and 3 nv and 4 are 3d and for 3 as the first 3d Bethesda game is crazy
@@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507 L
Discovered RPG's with fallout 3. What a shock back then. The choices, the amazing ambiance mixed with 50's/60's musics. The modding. Man it was amazing.
Same with me - I had to rent this game from video store 3 times until it clicked . At first I thought this was hot garbage . I was shooting dudes in the head and they weren’t dying . I was like wtf is this . Then once it clicked and I understood stats - omg I was sucked in - this game revolutionized everything for me . I play fallout 4 and Skyrim still.
I started playing this a few weeks ago... still a gem
One thing I want too mention, is in the beginning, I love how if you go upstairs instead of down, and wait for the overseer to head up, you hear how he doesn't actually give a shit about the residents, and he doesn't trust you and your dad. Another instance of, exploring is rewarded.
My "Fallout 3" story:
I played OG Fallout when it came out. I played FO2 when it came out. I played Tactics when it came out. I remember being so, so excited when 3 was announced, and then so, so unsure that it'd be an FPS RPG. I was also concerned it was going to be with Bethesda and without Fargo and Interplay/Black Isle. I didn't get 3 at release because I didn't have a system of that gen that could play it. I saved up some "frivolous" money over the course of a year and finally bought a PS3, and then a local Movie Gallery was closing and selling everything at a discount. I got the GOTY edition of Fallout 3 for $20. It didn't disappoint for a LONG time. I played the hell out of this game. Then, unfortunately, the save file got over 10MB. I soon started getting crashes. I played through them to a point, but by the time I got to the Point Lookout DLC, the game was unplayable. So, I started a new game and did a speed-run to Point Lookout so I could play it through. And I did.
Overall: just an incredible game. Thanks for bringing me back, Matty.
it was pretty similar to myself.
I played the FO2 so many times and was so fan of it. that the first time i Played FO3 I didnt like it... I got outside the vault, and was quite lost on the map and the FPS part, didnt like the VATS there and dropped.
years later got the GOTY edition and give it a try again and love it there, and now FO4 is my favorite one, witht FO2 still in a very special place
Replaying this game for the first time in 7 years rn. Its a great game. Love how bethesda does atmosphere, also the soundtrack is amazing. I love the song What Remains, great song, the start is so eerie.
Fallout 3 Will always be one of my favourites.
That opening intro sequence. The set the world on fire opening with the badass power armour. The amazing tutorial section. The scenic overlook after exiting the vault. Blowing up megaton. It's just too good man. Could we see Jade Empire Matty?
TUNNEL SNAKES RULE
Liam neeson is such a badass choice. Like he said, he needs to be in more games. Hearing Ron pearlman in the games is badass too. Not hearing him in the beginning of fallout 4 was shocking and I was pissed lol. Ron is the voice of fallout and he needs to have his own badass character in one of the games.
I love just walking out of the vault and just looking at the wasteland for the first-time, even the devs knew this would be a big moment hence the music, such a great moment
I believe Fallout 3 still holds up because it's the epitome of what a Bethesda RPG is at its core. Even though it's not an original IP, the way it's executed is not replicated in other games (outside Bethesda) as many claim. There is something distinctly Bethesda about FO3 even more so than in their previous fantasy games. I actually prefer FO3 to FNV. FNV is good, but FO3 has a better atmosphere and contains a lot of hidden choices & consequences compared to FNV's more obvious, in-your-face choices.
they're fantastic at environmental design and environmental storytelling even if their quest writing is often not the best. It results in their worlds being a lot of fun to explore even if the games don't often hold up under a traditional critical eye
Yea i like 3 map better a desolate place etc. But new vegas has better story and dlc’s
Yeah though their downfall begun with Fallout 4 and F76, though that happened because Bethesda changed their people and their ways becoming a bit like EA, Fallout 3 and Oblivion remain masterpiece's even after so many year's.
Nv has a LOT more subtle choices lol hidden quests like the pimp boy 3 billion most ppl will never do....fo3 does world and atmosphere much better but that's about it
@@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507 nah as much as i love fallout 3 i believe FNV has e better world and atmosphere, why you might ask? Because its the desert of course, its a carbon copy of what real life Nevada desert is, lonely and dry plus with radiation and bad people
I think this type of semi-playthrough is pretty cool too, and I think you can do multiple videos for each game, doesn't have to jump right to the next game. For Fallout 3 maybe you can explore it further by doing a video dedicating on one or two really interesting side quests of the game.
I'll never forget the stretch of time that I discovered Oblivion at my friend's house. I was immediately captivated by how grand the world was and the sheer options available to the player. After 100%ing (at least by the xbox achievements) Oblivion I was clamoring for more games like that. That same friend told me to check out the Fallout series, so I went to my local gamestop and found NV GOTY edition and just looking at that case I could tell the game was special. Got home and played that game for hundreds of hours, and then moved on to playing FO3 after, and shortly after I finished 3, Skyrim was announced. God what good times.
Fallout 3 was the first game I ever played that I put more than 100 hours in when I was younger. One of my most memorable game experience
I recently retired from the military ,so I haven't had time to play most of these games! I'm currently playing Fallout 3 right now, I officially entered the citadel; however I entered it earlier through an unpatched area to get the training for the power suit! 😂 I'm loving every minute of this game!
can this become an ongoing thing please?? I would love to see MrMatty play through these old nostalgic games In real time!
I loved this game soooo much the first time I played it. It was like nothing else I’d ever played and it started my love affair with open world games ☺️
It is amazing how much Bugthesda got right with Fallout 3. It remains one of my all-time favorite games. The OST and "radio" music, the voice acting, the '50s nuclear-era esthetic, the power armor, the plasma weapons, the enemies, etc., etc., etc. I probably won't live long enough to play Fallout 5, but I hope it returns to greatness.
i’ve been telling myself to get back on fallout 3 and this video was what i needed, the nostalgia trip this took me on!! fire vid man 🔥
Man I remember playing this game for the first time back in 2009. Getting out of Vault 101 for the first time, and needing to wait a few seconds for your eyes to adjust. Other memorable moments for me were the darker areas of the game, such as the Dunwich Building, the Ritual Site and the Sacred Bog in Point Lookout, and even the Red Racer Factory. I think Mothership Zeta is considered the worst DLC but I really enjoyed it. Meeting Characters from different Eras, and having to fight your way through the Mothership in order to get back to Earth. Memories.
Is this giveaway legit?
Starfield has me returning to a ton of old Matty videos and playing a bunch of my Bethesda games again....what a time to be alive
Fawkes baby! "In all things the calm mind must prevail". Fawkes is such a philosopher!
One of my favorite games ever! I recently fired this up on the Series X, and my original save files from when the game came out was in the cloud, and I continued playing with my original character from when I first played the game. So damn cool. Amazing game. ♥️♥️♥️
This was an enjoyable change of pace content-wise. I’m dropping BL1 or BL2 as ideas for the next one.
I replayed BL1 about 3 months ago and it hasn’t aged well at all. The graphical improvements from then until BL3 is night and day that’s it actually makes it hard to get into it. Also, the story is seriously lacking compared to the genius of BL2. If BL4 could have the story of 2 and the graphics and gun play of 3 then it would be an incredible game indeed
Personally FO3 is still my favorite. It's ambiance was just amazing. I still have nightmares about traveling through the metro systems.
FONV is a better game mechanically but it just can't grab me like 3 did.
There's something I love about sewers, subways, and hidden thaigs that I can't get enough of.
I have been playing Fo4 obsessively for years, but never played any of the previous Fallout games. I started thinking, “how can I claim to be a Fallout fan if I’ve only ever played 4???”…so this week I finally started Fallout 3, and I am loving it. The intro was so moving, and you are 1000% right about the atmosphere of the game. I’m trying to just play it blind, fighting the urge to google what to do, and trying not to watch any videos about it either…but I couldn’t resist taking a peek at this one. Thanks for this, your enthusiasm and obvious love of the game is inspiring. 🤗
I remember you Mr Matty thanks for helping me with my depression I remember my shitty pc I started with, you where in the same boat as me. I always will support your content
Spot on about the vibe matty. As strange as it sounds I think that's what carries the game for me and why it will always be my favourite despite its flaws.
Tied for my favorite game with NV and 4. Love all 3 of them.
I still play this game now, I love it to pieces. Such simpler days. Happy to see someone give it the love it needs in 2022. :)
You should really do a full play through we all would love to see it ❤️
100%
I remember getting this for Xmas 2008 and being afraid to start it in a way. Nothing will ever match being high af coming out of the vault for the first time.
I think one of my favorite things about the fallout series is the way the pure optimism of retrofuturism intersects with the bleakness of the post-apocalyptic genre. It's amazing to hear that upbeat 50s americana music contrasted with the blown out wasteland
I love how you start in the middle of the map unlike f4 where you have technically 1 direction.
The game feels really janky at first but once you get into it you really do get immersed. It's a true masterpiece by even today's standards.
Not really, it's the worst game in the series and aged terribly.
@@Digger-Nick such a goofy ass cpmment
@@caneloex5897 What's goofy about it? Fallout 3 was terrible in comparison to everything that came after it. I'm doing another playthrough now through New Vegas TTW and the capital wasteland is an absolute slog
@@Digger-Nick crazy because no one else agrees with you lmao
@@caneloex5897 Says who? After new Vegas got released everyone realized how bad fallout 3 was. It's very simple
Tenpenny Tower will forever be my one of my favorite side quests from a video game. I remember trying my hardest to find the most peaceful end to the conflict, and I still was blown away by how my decisions were translated.
I’m playing it for the first time atm and loving it. Such a great game!
It's been at least 5 or 6 years since I've watched Matty... And damn that goatee is awesome man! Super happy to see how well you have done, keep it cool Matty - Trav from the UK
Very random but the starting areas of Fallout 3 and New vegas are actually so different tonally it was quite jarring playing F3 recentley. Fallout new vegas presents a ton of characters and choices pretty quick while fallout 3 feels a lot more isolated and more like a wasteland. Not saying one is better then the other but the openings are so damn different and the games actually feel quite different as well to some degree
Yea fallout 3 is similar to 4 where they basically have you on a rail to info dump about your situation in the world rather than let you experience it.
Idk if you ever played Homefront back in the day but that and 4 have the longest drags of intros
Everyone has different experiences, but I felt more comfortable in F3 than New Vegas. Went through a more immersive experience going into Megaton, doing the quests that come from there, then going on my own journey when I felt ready.
In New Vegas, exploration felt too directed through certain parts and I don't like how perception changed to not show red markers. Platinum chip is supposedly so important, but it didn't feel like it. Hoover dam war was kinda cool, but not as badass as Liberty Prime. The results of the actions from that war also didn't feel so impactful to me.
To each their own
@@Patrickdaawsome The major difference is that New Vegas, like Fallout and Fallout 2, is more about the rebuilding of different civilizations within a post apocalypse. Then exploring the morals and ideologies of the types of groups that would emerge. Bethesda goes more for just a post apocalypse shooter without the rebuilding or interesting factions. Their worlds are far more stagnant and bleak. Fallout was initially about the rise and fall of new empires in the wasteland. All with their own unique characters and ideologies to explore and interact with.
I hadn’t thought about it before , but I agree totally. In F3, when that vault door closes, and you step out - that feeling of isolation in a strange world hits you perfectly. In NV you step out of Doc Mitchell’s house into a friendly town - ready to gather strength and seek vengeance. So glad both games were made and show how the same engine and game world can be used in different ways to tell compelling stories.
I created a fallout 3 save right before you leave the vault. When you hit the door to leave, it asks you if you want to rebuild your character. I've played these games a lot.
Been a fan for a while now and I just have to say I thank we share a brain cell. I just started a playthrough yesterday with the intent to finally beat the game that i've been starting and stopping since I was 13 ( i'm now 23 ) and I'm still learning new things and ways to play after all these years. thanks for the great video and keep up the good work and can't wait for more.
p.s. maybe some Dragons Dogma next?
I'm glad to see I got my comment featured for this. This is some great content to start off with and couldn't be happier!
I'll never forget the first time I played this back in 2008, the first time I stepped out of the vault and the first place I wandered into was Springvale elementary school. And as I started to take out a gang of raiders and mole rats...I giddily realized I was embarking into something special. The perfect game I'd always wanted. A lifelong fan of all things post-apocalyptic (before it was fashionable) and the 50s post modern sci-fi aesthetic, I fell in love with this series immediately and spent untold hundreds of hours wandering the wastelands over and over. All hail the Republic of Bob.
This was great! Thank you so much! Soo good to see it played in ‘22! Loved it when it 1st came out! Still do!
Fallout 3 honestly has one of the best tutorial segments in a video game. It naturally teaches you almost all of the game mechanics you will be using for the entire game. How to use guns, talk to people for different responses and choices, how to open and navigate your pip boy to check equipment and notes, and that this world is harsh and cruel.
And it never feels like it's questioning your intelligence as a gamer.
Fallout 3 blew my mind back in the day on the xbox 360. It was such a good game.
How detailed and kinda deep that the bully’s mom may be a alcoholic but you could completely miss thag
18:58 I have 1000's of hours into this game and never knew that rock stash existed. Another reason to love this game.
I will never forget playing this and ratting out the Tenpenny Towers dude who tries to get you to help him in Megaton.
Won't spoil what happened, but that was the first time I really played a true RPG with choice and consequence.
First fallout I ever played, so much nostalgia for me here. Plus, I love your videos Matty! I will watch every video on this series if this is a new thing ♥️
There is no “trying” to play fallout 3. There is STILL playing fallout 3 and loving it. Still my favorite fallout game
Def is trying to play it for new school fans lol hard to play these games on console if you started with 4

@@MatheusRodrigues-gm5tf not only that but the story is so shallow and boring plus the ambience is nothing like the others entries
Old man gamer, here. Took a few years off from gaming from the mid 90s until around the end of the first XBox era because games hadn't progressed to the extent I had hoped and weren't really getting better for me. Got an XBox and a bunch of games recommended by the sales clerk at Game Stop in like 2005 and got hooked into a couple a great titles like Halo and GTA, but then I started playing Bethesda's Morrowind and was blown away. Put hundreds of hours into that one. Fast forward to owning the 360 and getting that first Bethesda Fallout game after playing ES4, and it was a revelation. Thanks Matty! Maybe a mods extravaganza for these older games is in order to help them look their best? Or we can hope Capital Wasteland mod is dropping soon for FO4:)
Man everything you say as you're going through the game is just perfectly resonating with me, the game is so good in so many ways. The introduction and transitions, the atmosphere and real lonely wasteland feel. The emphasis on exploring and taking your own initiative and direction on things. Oh man I loved this game.
Also, don't you know luck build is like the most op?
I'll never forget playing FO3 over christmas break 2008. We always had the xbox in the living room before, but I was hogging the TV too much, so my dad let me play in my room for the first time. I spent that whole break exploring the capital wasteland. Good times fr.
I just played Fallout 3 non stop for a month. Still holds up. 10/10
Oh my GOD I remember that unarmed playthrough! Nothing beats getting the firelance and then not being able to use it
I've played fallout 3 all the way 6x times now and JUST got the firelance for the first time playing on pc😎
dude keep the series going, would love to watch along as you replay this game. I don't have my ps3 anymore so someone's gotta step up, might as well be the Bethesda King
Actually there is a Mod to stop the level up and DLC pop ups... I use a full DLC delayer to stop and pace the DLCs, but a simple pop up blocker would work too... as for the level up you can change the XP to level up slower, I use a 2X xp needed to level. But the mod had like 50 different esp file options, if you even slow down the leveling by a little bit you won't level up until Megaton
I think you should do a Dishonored retrospective!! You talked so much about Deathloop and why it's not your favorite Arkane game and how it strays so far I think you should talk more about it!!
Good video bro! Fallout 3 was great and so are the funny glitches I had along the way. Did all the dlc too and will always remember my first Playthrough. Coming back to your video brings back a lot memories.
✌️
Fallout 3 is definitely a very nostalgic game for me. It was my introduction to the Fallout franchise back when it released. I was already familiar with Morrowind and Oblivion so I knew I may be into whatever Bethesda’s Fallout 3 turned out to be. I loved it and I’m still a huge Fallout fan to this day. I then ended up going back and played Fallout and Fallout 2. Got New Vegas and Fallout 4 on release as well when they ended up coming out. I’ve played the heck out of each one. Fallout 3 will always hold a special place in my heart and I have a ton of fond memories with this game.
That being said, after playing it every so often over the duration of over a decade, you start to see the cracks in the foundation. Especially after going back and playing Fallout and Fallout 2 multiple times. As well as seeing how much New Vegas accomplished as an RPG with such little development time and the same game engine. Playing Fallout games spread across multiple decades, across many different development teams. Putting thousands of hours into dozens of play throughs across all of these games just gets you thinking after a while. Then returning to Fallout 3 once again recently and doing all of the named content and DLC for old times sake. I just can’t help but realize how many shortcomings Fallout 3 actually has as an RPG. Especially a Fallout RPG. In 2008 I was unfamiliar with Fallout, so I never had a baseline or expectations as to what Fallout really was or could be. Once I started playing Fallout and Fallout 2 and getting invested fully into the lore and stories of the franchise I started to realize how hollow Fallout 3 actually was. The story is entirely linear. Not only that but it is exceptionally poorly written and has tons of plot holes. Both within its own narrative as well as with regards to all of the previous lore. It tends to entirely disregard all of the rich lore and storytelling in the original games. There are no real choices in the game besides some very black and white quick ones without much or any consequence. The perks are really poorly done, almost always just raising skill points as opposed to doing interesting things. There are no traits or any other interesting mechanics.
A big one is that there are only 18 named side quests as opposed to Oblivion’s 200+ quests and New Vegas’ 80+ quests. I am a full believer in quality over quantity so that alone isn’t an issue. However, many of Fallout 3’s named side quests are simple fetch quests and the ones with any level of choice usually end very quickly with a basic good or evil option which hardly changes anything if at all. I don’t mind basic quests or the odd fetch quest either. The problem is that with less than 20 in the whole game, your side quests need to be far better and more engaging than collecting an item. If you have 200+ quests like Oblivion, you can spare a few dozen simple quests without diluting the package. In Fallout 3 I notice the issue far more easily due to the lack of content.
Regardless, I still play the game and enjoy it. It was my introduction into the franchise and as I said I have a ton of fond memories of this game. It’s just that upon experiencing all of the games fully and seeing what the franchise is capable of at its best. How rich the stories and narrative can be. The variety of story when you have actual choices and consequences. I find it increasingly difficult to overlook the many issues within Bethesda’s Fallout titles the more I learn about this franchise. I would love for Bethesda to come out swinging with Fallout 5 and it ends up being a phenomenal RPG. It’s just that between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, as well as Fallout 76, I’m struggling to believe that Bethesda could ever capture Fallout to its fullest RPG potential. They very much seem to focus on the wrong things.
I finished New Vegas and stared playing Fallout 3 since one week ago. I can't belive this cause I wasn't expecting it after I was reading that New Vegas is way better. But I've never played a game like this one before... I go on a quest, just like I do in New Vegas or any other game, but in this one along the way some incredible things happen. I even forget all about the specific quest cause of whats happening along the way as I discover new places.
This is such a wonderful video! Well done, Matty.
It's crazy to me that Liam Neeson isn't in more video games. He's got such a great voice.
i used to know every fallout 3, NV, and 4 radio song by heart. My homie used to watch me play and the songs would put him to sleep lmao. These games made me appreciate odlies more man
I played this in 2020 lockdowns, and its nostalgic for me :).. and it still bloody holds up.
Loved the video and just want to say I very much appreciate your cheesy you intro Matty, this video brings the best boy out of you
Living 90 min away from this location, Fallout 3 has a special place in my heart. I really hope they give us a revamped version of it
I enjoy this type of video much more than ones like Gaming is Getting Worse from about a week ago. Great video and I Can’t wait for all the starfield videos hopefully sooner than later!
Beatrice and her poem - CREEPY 11/10
Butch - IRONY 11/10
Skipping the G.O.A.T. - blasphemous!
My first playthrough of FO3 was an exciting hell; just trying to gradually explore outward from megaton and running into a deathclaw, psycho sniper, raiders and super mutants for the first time experiencing the wasteland overload was intoxicating. Good vid.
Loved it matty more of this would be awesome! Whatever you’re passionate about brother just keep up the excellent work!
Dude I recently beat Fallout 3(again). It is my favorite Fallout game. Actually it was my first one. I played it back in 2009. I was in High school. Wow time flies. Lol 😆
When I see those ads and head that menu tune....damn I get goosebumps.
I remember as a kid having the thought "this is all I need." When playing fallout 3 for the 1st time. Never thought that about anything else before.
I will always remember counting the years to figure out how old my character was
I was probably 14 when I played this game. Just coming in with no knowledge of franchise. I was obsessed. One of my favorite games of all time.
Dude I’m literally playing fallout 3 rn I just started an evil play through a few days ago
There was a mod a few years back that enabled you to play all the way through FO3 and FONV with the same character. Very cool.
Love this style, keep it up! Thanks for the great content
Great video! FO3 is classic for sure. I would definitely be interested to watch a FO4 survival mode video in 2022 too
Hbomberguys video did irreparable damage to this games reputation amongst many casual gamers. Although not as good as NV still a damn fun game
fallout3 is my game that had me and I never looked back. it got me back into gaming again and now I am 47 but I love the Fallout series and I can't wight for the new one to come out..
Fallout 3 is so awesome. I got it maybe a little too young, but my best friend and I would always beg my parents to rent it from Blockbuster. I think we rented it two weeks in a row, I remember my dad surprised me one day with my own copy for good grades, one of my favorite memories
I gotta say I never played it. I skipped it at the time because I wasn't as into rpgs as I am now. But seeing this I may have to revisit it and give it another go. Keep up the awesome content Matty
I proudly stand as a Fallout player and Bethesda fan for life they changed the way I see alot of things.
Matty you nailed it here. For me personally, I feel with the game world being big, but not too big, they packed a lot in. Most unique locations have some sort of story or vibe to it. This game holds up graphically to me just due to how well they designed the world. Still a top 2 favorite game for me.
2 things to say within the first 7 minutes of the vid.
1. NEVER start any S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats at 10! Keep them at 9 or lower and then find the Bobbleheads to bump them up.
2. Butch trying to steal your sweetroll is referenced in Skyrim. One of the roaming dialogues (outside convo) for the Guards is "Let me guess... someone stole your sweetroll."
Fallout 3 was my first fallout too! I remember when I went to GameStop and it was on sale. I’ve always been a fan of like the apocalypse and dystopian societies. When I read bombs fell on the box I was sold. When I started the the game up and that intro played…. The amount of excitement I had as a kids lol this was so long ago. Wow. Thanks to my dad for letting me try this game.
