In an interview with MrMattyPlays, Todd Howard has explained that Bethesda isn't working on any of these projects. Instead, the studio is focused on The…

The game won't get past 97% installed. There is no way to rate the game properly if I can't even play it. GOG, the installer, is crappy for support - has never handled past support requests for other games, either.

I'm genuinely soooo glad I got a game for 5 bucks instead of 20. Also soo glad that the process wasn't some complicated "do these extra steps" thing ykk. Love this and will def be using it more omgggg

A gem that bounced Fallout back on its feet. It gave a new breath of fresh air to a decrepit franchise and while not perfect, it holds up very well after 14 years. The story, characters, music and especially the atmosphere make this game a timeless masterpiece. Fallout 3 walked so that New Vegas could run.

Rich and relatable story (at least for the first half)
Exciting Gameplay, doesn't get boring after 14 years
Aiming is just zooming and unpractical

I got code in an instant. Saved myself around 7 bucks. Easy and quick to get and install the game. Only bad thing would be the game graphics. But the game is from 2008, and has low pc specs recommendations so I can't really complain. 9/10 Would recommend :)

not supported for windows 7 and higher without a lot of trouble. Even if its a good game better look for the fallout 4 if you don't want to reconfigure many thing for a single game which will (probably since its bethesda) many bug.

game not supported on window 7 and up

Save your money! Do NOT buy this game from here! The Steam edition does NOT work and isn't optimized on PC. Buy it through GOG, you'll be happy you did as their version IS optimized! Since buying the game through here, I couldn't get a refund since I technically redeemed the digital key on steam.

Game doesn't work/launch

Since I already own Fallout 4 I decided to buy this classic. Fantastic game as always with good graphics. I could go in full detail about it but I will leave it upto you to decide what you think of this game.

Good graphics
Great Gameplay
Ticks all the boxes
Story could of been longer
A mini map so you know where to go just like fallout 4

I'd like to start to say F4CK YOU to the "10" votes, ruining the score of this MASTERPIECE for nothing...
That said, this is the game! 2008, incredible graphic for that time, awesome story, even more awesome environment (you really feel in a post atomic era), Open world exploration, awesome variety of enemies, mod of gadgets and weapons very satisfactory, awesome longevity, its my top 3 game ever, just incredible work from Bethesda...

Il gioco crea troppi problemi su Windows 10.
Innanzitutto non parte, devi scaricare Game for Windows Game.
Seconda cosa il gioco crasha ogni 20 minuti perché non supporta i ''nuovi'' processori quad core, bisogna scaricare patch non ufficiali o modificare alcuni file nella cartella di gioco.
