"Mixed reactions"

Overall I liked fallout 3 in a lot of ways there were lots of interesting enemies and stories but it has a lot of problems that are an issue that the developers need to address. The biggest is that the game has a tendency to crash -freezing up a lot on the ps3. Early parts of the game its not an issue but later in the game you will freeze one time or more during a play session. This is the biggest problem in that it wastes our time. This could be fix but the developers are too busy to do so for the ps3 they fix the PC just not the ps3 is there are reason i don't know but its sloppy work. The next issue is the quests some are hard to find and some are really difficult to get into as things are not well indicated and you can get stuck at places losing lots of work if your not careful. The biggest issue is that some of the doors to the areas your going into can't be seen till your standing on top of it. Everything being the color of dirt doesn't help at least make it so they glow or something to indicate were it is. The next problem is map locations -some serve no purpose. Another issue is balance-expansions add enemies that are too difficult early on to certain stages of the game-poor planning in general. A lot of the text and story is pointless as it never develops into anything. Overall Bethesda did an ok job but could have done a lot better over all.

In general the game is good but needs improvements-also the pointless items you can pick up and are not weapons items to use or quest items or crafting items -its ok to move them but don't make it so we put them in our inventory -its a waste of space and it makes it harder to get the items we do want to pick up. Also those dlcs add some more stuff to the radio broadcastes the same 20 songs get irritating after a while. Also don't keep giving us small guns will weak fire power i would find .32 guns when im using the the laser guns and other such weapons - all im saying is the loot you get should scale up a bit.

Overall the game was fun but fixing of the glitches and fixing some of the story so it doesn't violate chekhov's gun so often-or at least do something with the story line the outcasts had one dlc that members of the outcasts were involved in but the main camp of them did nothing.

Also if you really want it get the pc version of the game of the year edition -cheaper and you get everything -which i have to say is the other problem i had with this to start the dlc is overpriced for what it does.
