Product description

Vault 101 - Jewel of the Wastes. For 200 years, Vault 101 has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

Includes Fallout 3 and five expansion packs: Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta.

Fallout 3 - GOTY

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2013

Platform For Display: PCEdition: Game of the Year EditionVerified Purchase

Fallout 3 is a great game. First off I just want to highlight the issues that some people have been having. Many have commented that it does not work on windows 7. At first when I installed it my game did not work even in compatibility mode, however I simply had to download games for windows live and it ran. Secondly people have said that the game freezes a lot and crashes, again I fixed this with simple INI document tweaks (making my computer run it using only 2 cores), so overall if you show patience, the game will run on windows 7 systems.

Pros: Good graphics, excellent story, highly immersive, amazing modding community, very fun,so much to do, just a generally excellent bethesda game. If you've played Oblivion, Skyrim or other games of the sort then you can be guaranteed a great time.

Cons: It might be a little difficult for some people, can get boring when you don't know what to do (although, as said there is always SOMETHING to do), not a whole lot of human NPCs other than raiders in the wild areas, slight lack of weapons.

Overall this game is fantastic to play. I have not given it the full five stars as it isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination due to some bland gameplay moments and persistent glitches, however there is nothing mods can't fix (if you're on a console then tough luck) although the vanilla game is great. The expansions with GOTY also add more depth and things to do so you're never going to be stuck on ideas. This is an awesome addition to my growing bethesda collection and If you're reading this, just buy the damn game already!

Brilliant Game

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2013

Platform For Display: PCEdition: Game of the Year EditionVerified Purchase

I bought this game after playing The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion as it was built on the same engine, offering more of the same type of game play (Free roaming RPG) but with a completely different storyline/universe. I really enjoyed the game from the moment I started. After over a 100 hours of gameplay I still have not been everywhere on the map and only completed one of the add-ons (Mothership Zeta, which in my opinion could have happily not been included). This game is not a tactical shooter, the shooting mechanics are acceptable at best, with a variation of Auto-Aim enabled often you will see bullets curve to reach their computer determined target not the one you were aiming at. An annoyance for any avid fan of FPS games.

However I do offer a warning that this game is very buggy. As many fellow reviewers have experienced problems also; all I have to say is those bugs can be fixed easily if you are willing to persist. My initial bug was to do with the AA being enabled in the game despite my computer being more than capable of playing this game on maximum settings with AA enabled the game would not start, crashing to desktop after a few seconds. With AA disabled from the launcher I was able to start the game, this then brought on more crashing at random intervals (These are known problems with the game and engine, and are well documented with fixes on the internet). In response to another review, this game will run on Windows 7 without needing to use compatibility mode.

The fix: iNumHWThreads=2, is a fix for most systems. However if you have more than 2 cores feel free to experiment with this up to the limit of cores you have. I have an 8 core CPU and I have this value set to 8, lower and I was limiting the performance the game could access (Which did appear in framerate testing) and I have no problems with random crashing.

Not all people who buy this game may experience these issues but those who do; be methodical in your approach, changing one setting at a time. Do not let those small issues detract you from playing a brilliant, well designed and thought out game with plenty of replay value.

There are also plenty of mods and tweaks available for this game. Most tweaks for bug fixing and general improvements can be done through editing the FALLOUT.ini file, I advise you to refer to the tweak guide before editing any settings and to always make a backup before you start.

Overall I loved this game despite it being a very rough diamond, but with time spent editing you can make it shine more and you will appreciate the time spent editing files.

This game is great compared to the other copies for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The graphics are much better and you have the ability to use a wealth of modded content or make your own, allowing the game to go on forever. Bathesda usually make very glitchy games and one wonders were the money was spent for the debugging team, even if they tasted their own games out.. But with the PC version you can fix those bugs yourself or download community made bug fixes.

The game is installed easily enough and as long as you have installed a game yourself in the past, this won't be much of a problem. If you do have problems installing this game for any reason I find the internet is the worst place to look for a fix. Many forums give false information and reasons as to why the game won't work on your computer and rest assured they will give every reason but the one you are facing. This works on windows 8 ultimate perfectly yet be sure that if you can't get it installed or able to play, you will be told it's a compatibility problem and it's Windows 8 that is the problem. For anyone having a problem getting the game passed the menu screen or crashing after leaving the vault, a simple DLL file is all that is needed. For anyone having problems beyond that, a simple change in compatibility mode - low graphics mode will fix this. I have installed this on 8 computers now, just to test out problems with the installation process and it all is fixed using a DLL file. Windows Vista, 7, 8, 64/32. All works perfectly.
