Here's my situation:
 
I didn't play Fallout 3, because I just wasn't interested enough. When GB posted the Broken Steel quick look, I watched it. 
 
Now I have the chance to get Fallout 3 for dirt cheap.
 
Here's the problem. 
The Broken Steel quick look showed the ending of the game, and I found the ending to be absolutely the worst ending to any game ever, and anyone who at any point thought that an ending like that is okay should be shot, and the body fed to wolves. And then the wolves should be shot as well, because that FUCKING IDIOT has been near them and his IDIOCY might infect the poor wolves.
 
 I'm not sure I want to spend a bunch of hours playing this game, that might be great along the way, only to end up with such bullshit for an ending.
 
So would it sitll be worth it, considering it's dirt cheap? I couldn't really tell you how much it is, because in my country games cost around 100$ new, so my dirt cheap is your overpriced game. :)
 
Basically, there is no other good game I could buy with this money, it's that much cheaper.

Here's your answer.
 

Absolutely. The ending lasts about 5 minutes. Those 5 minutes don't ruin the 150 hours you could easily spend with the game.

Get it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you think of anyone who bought Fallout 3 for the story instead of the gamplay? 'cause as a game it's great. As a story...meh. But it. Now.

Get the GOTY edition.

If you'd want to spend full price for Fallout 3 the GOTY edition is comming out soon. Contains the full game along with all the DLC. Around 110 USD if you got everything as they were comming out.

" Get the GOTY edition. "

Just buy the game. It's pretty damn good.

That's a new release on is going to be full price for me. For full price, I'd rather buy a game I actually really want to play without hesitation... "

seeing as how I happen to be playing this right now, (yay multitasking!) I must also chime in to recommend you get the game as soon as possible.

Easiest answer of the day. It's worth it. Hold out for the GOTY edition on tuesday though

Get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a pretty mediocre game in my opinion. Combat system sucked, story sucked, presentation was....okay, but the environment was extremely dreary and not exactly a place you want to be spending time in. The main campaign is shorter than that of a first person shooter and the side quests are completely lame and repetitive. I haven't written a review yet, but that's because I'm stuck on whether to give it 2 or 3 stars.
