14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 6.71/day in the week to Jul 30 → 7.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Sure, it is very dated for a lot of people now, and you have to disable Windows LIVE to get it running. However, once you do, you find a world that rewards you for exploring it. Not to mention you get the story FO4 definitely did not copy.. This was my in for the series, and I keep going back to it
A wonderful game from an era that no longer exists. An experience that, has truly stuck with me since my teen years. Personal nostalgia bias aside, I think this is one of the best games of it's time. This is a true Bethesda game so jank and infuriating bugs do exist. I will not let nostalgia cloud the technical issues we know Bethesda for, and this game is objectively buggy in many places. Even today on modern systems the ending sequence may cause your game to crash (Windows and Linux). But even with that I don't think it takes away from the overall game too much. This game took the walking steps from Elder scrolls Oblivion, and started a jog that would eventually end up where we are today. Where the genre is almost over saturated with fallout/elder scrolls type games. And that is because this foundational pillar from the early years is solid. I still believe the game gives a wonderful expression of having to survive in the wasteland ruins. While yes voice acting is rough for NPC's who aren't part of the main story. And things like no aiming retical is just odd. The execution still works, VAT's the slow-mo attack mode is fun to use, especially with the perk where you explode people. I also feel the story is worth playing through, and not just the main story but the side quests as well. This likely is nostalgia speaking but, something about mindlessly seeing who else might pop up in this messed up world. And what trouble or help they may bring is still such a "magical" feeling. It is hard to put into words but, I think it stem from the fact. We know the game is old and yet it captures so many elements perfectly. I believe the best comparison I can make is, this is like a good stop motion film. it looks "janky" and out of place and yet magic can be found within that uncanny grit, that only stop motion can give. It is why so many horror games intentionally use PS1 era graphics, because there is certain charm about seeing something so simple....capture perfectly the emotions it wants to convey. I truly feel fallout 3 is that game of its era. And much in the same way some people judge Black & white films or the use of stop motion. I can see some people not liking the game just for those points. And I don't think that is wrong, simply a matter of opinion and that is okay, but if you are someone that can appreciate older, slightly outdated systems, the game is truly an immersive wonder. I know I do have nostalgia bias, but having replayed this game and beating all the DLC's, I genuinely feel it is more than the nostalgia that kept me going. If you find it on a sale I say please get it, then maybe you can understand the magic. That kept a 16 year old me glued within the Capital wasteland, on a Fall season all those years ago. Peace be the Journey - Cool Runnings

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 7: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

One of the best settings and game design, the gun mechanics are a good step in their design philosophy, main objectives as well as characters and companions are lacking, better than the fourth, worse than NV, 7/10. (bartering blows)
works perfectly on Linux with the Tale of Two Wastelands: Begin Again mod pack.
J’ai beau avoir bien cherché dans les Terres Désolées, je n’ai malheureusement pas trouvé de ville de nudistes… :/ Plus sérieusement, c’est un gros classique. Certes, le jeu vieilli, mais il reste très agréable.
Hated by arrogant hypocritic hacks everywhere.
bhe come dire,è ABSOLUTE CINEMA
Excelent game
they updated this game and broke FOSE's dependencies for no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason, nice way to make your fans go from reflecting on the older titles to straight up buying new slop you create. to keep in mind: you will HAVE to mod the game with FOSE loader aswell as the anniversary patch as long as you want to freely play it and not crash every 10-15 minutes. It's harder to do now since they've updated the game, and not every mod maker feels like patching their mod for that one same game version when you can just patch the games version. The game isn't playable as a standalone unless you're trying to play it on xbox 360 or ps3.
