While the RPG mechanics were certainly still faithful to the original two games, there's a strange blend between simplification and complexity that makes Fallout 3 feel a bit clunky. While this could be said for almost any Bethesda game (even New Vegas, which was notoriously buggy at launch), Fallout 3 was a particularly bad case. If players want to get the most out of Fallout 3 today, they'll more than likely want to stop by the Fallout Nexus and download community-made patches. Bugs have plagued the game for its entire lifespan. The new direction kept up the appeal of exploring a post-apocalyptic wasteland and retained plenty of iconic elements from the previous games, including the VATS system and Pip-Boy. That isn't to say that Fallout 3 is a perfect game, though.

The way Bethesda transitioned Fallout and Fallout 2 into an FPS RPG is nothing short of incredible.

And if you bought a bunch of games with no plans to have enough storage to so much as download them, it's really on you I'm actually kind of in that boat, but I don't tell myself it's Valve's responsibility-the decision to not fully take ownership of those games by putting a copy on my own computer was mine, not Valve's.Fallout 3 certainly turned heads for when it was released in 2008. But if you purchased that many games you are not poor, so whatever. Sure, if you have massive numbers of games that would take ridiculous amounts of storage you might have to buy a big hard drive or something. If you own a Steam game and Valve goes under, unless it's amazingly sudden you can, like, download the game before they finish dying. If you have a game that had GfWL integrated it wouldn't matter how much warning you had, there would be nothing you could do to make your game work once GfWL went away. No different to the fact that if Steam were to go bust all our games would not work either, not downloadable. But I know when it happened years ago, that most things that had any sort of community had Games for Windows removed. definitely made a large section of software unplayable. Think of all those old games that had integrated this garbage, and the other one that died, Gamespy. Like back when that service was murdered.
