It will as it's a great game with great reviews, but I suppose you can't please some people...

I fail to see how Fallout 3 will be a 'classic.' Games in a particular series are a dime a dozen. Hardly any effort is made to make each installment in a series unique. As soon as Fallout 4 comes out, people will bash on Fallout 3 for all of it's many many many faults. Fallout 4 will be ushered as the new standard of RPG's and Fallout 3 will become an afterthought. Games today are disposable.

Great reviews doesn't make a great game. A great game will truly pass the test if it is played in 10 years. If it is a great game you can look past the old graphics, and slightly dated gameplay. How many games have gotten high scores only to be forgotten completely in a few years time?

Certainly not, not for me. Look how quickly previous games fade away when new Bethesda ones come out. Does anyone really remember Oblivion now that Skyrim is out? Nah. Fallout 3? Even less.

Bethesda do the same amount of crap to their game, i.e. exploration and little choices/consequences, so essentially what you're buying is either a dumbed-down product of its predecessor, or an equal product in stupidity and dumbing-down.

When Bethesda makes Fallout 4, Fallout 3 will be little more than a needle in a stock of hay. Just another game that we all praised one day, now it's boring as fuck because the graphics are not as good!1

People on the Skyrim boards still praise Morrowind about everything. So an older game does not always mean its forgotten because its outdated.

Be remembered? of course.

Be played? by some.

Be a 'classic' or whatever? No, except in niche fanboi land.

This is the internet. Nothing really gets forgotten completely.

Since Pokemon's entire series is being remade, I don't think it's a good comparison.

I still remember it pretty fondly so that's 3 Years out of 10. Though it had a few faults it was overall pretty good. I will remember it as a fun game, as I remember other games I've played that I enjoyed such as Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime, Soulcaliber 2, Starfox 64, and many others that are around the 1 Decade Mark and farther back. In conclusion yes I beleive I will remember Fallout 3 and not as just a black sheep of the series.

I said 'Absolutely, it will leave a lasting impression' Because it will, it has. I mean, how many people join this forum saying they've never played the originals? How many of them start playing the originals because of the third one?

I could complain about a lot of things in FO3. But my big question for everybody who is so dead set against it and hates it so much, is: Was anybody else making a fallout game? Who else cared to go through the motions of making it, even if it had it's flaws in the end? Did interplay care about the rights to it before Fallout 3 and New Vegas got so popular?
Someone had to take the first step and there's no way they were going to please everybody on the first go.
We all agree that New Vegas is better, don't we? Don't you think they're paying attention to that?
Fallout 3 is a good game. For them to put as much into it as Fallout 1 or 2, they'd need to take a lot longer, which at the time of FO3's production, not many companies were willing to let their developers do. Now there's a bigger market for it. So maybe the producers will be willing to give them that time now.

It would also be stupid of them not to be paying attention to NMA. I mean c'mon. Free marketing info from fans all across the spectrum. If they didn't care about that, they wouldn't have made Fallout 3 a Fallout game. They'd have made Oblivion: Modern warfare(With lasers too, pew pew pew.)

So, since it did revive the franchise. I think yes, it has left an impression. We will be seeing the effects of that for a long time.

fallout 3 has these memorable gaming moments. you coould say that all the choices made, all the places explored are nothing special when compared to oblivion or skyrim or any of those sorts of games, but for people like me, who think that fallout 3 is one of the best games i have played, it stands out greatly. i dont like skyrim or oblivion i tried but i have no interest. the setting of fallout 3 was much more pleasing to me and i cared more about what was going on. i can easily say i will be down to play it in ten years. its a classic to me.

oo and i never finished new vegas thought it was pointless. im more of a borderlands person as opposed to games like skyrim.. if that makes sense..

Yes it will, because it's awesome.

The results of this poll will be skewed here obviously, so it's kind of pointless to even ask.

Even if you didn't like FO3, be thankful the series is back. It might be dead still if FO3 hadn't been made.
