Agreed. I'm playing NV for the first time right now. NV has a much better story, much better writing, and much cooler faction dynamics. But FO3 has better ambiance and visual worldbuilding.
I remember being 14 in 2008 and while visiting a friend in the city he took me to a group of older gamers that he played rpg's with. Basically a share house full of absolute nerds that he met at the local FLGS and he was part of their group. Anyway, we went over to play dnd and a zombie apocolypse rpg they had designed, very fun! So when Iwe got there only one fella was home and he was playing fallout 3, which was brand new at the time, with the highest possible specs on his PC. I had no idea what it was being 2008 and not an online kid I just didn't hear about it, and I was just absolutely floored by how amazing it was. Graphics and gameplay yes, but the dialogue trees and the free exploration just had me stunned. I had never imagined that a game could do that sort of things, as I was still playing COD on the PS2 at home.
I never realised how atmospheric this game is until I played it without listening to the radio for the first time 5 years ago. As much as I like the songs on the radio, it really takes all of the spookiness away. Playing without the radio on is the true connoisseurs way of playing FO3.
Same. After I got tired of the radio music I started playing with the ambience and it is really immersing. The soundtrack is very harrowing and desolate sounding.
For my TTW playthrough, which I haven't done in years, I HIGHLY recommend that everyone STOPS listening to the damn radio music especially GNR and Mr New Vegas and enjoy the REAL music of the Fallout games. Bethesda Fallout, though gave rebirth to the series, severally hurt it with the stupid idea of the 1950s forever troupe which was never the original intention
I have no idea how they knew to put all these sounds and instruments together for a soundtrack. Like all of these weird, whispy little musical phrases that are just a few moments long, yet absolutely burned into the brain. They tapped into something deep here.
Orchestral music holds up great over time and Bethesda picks great musicians and composers for their games. The music alone is honestly a big selling point and one reason I go back to this and Skyrim. Helps with stress.
This soundtrack forever burned into my brain. The best memories when this game came out I was 12-13 and was the best game I ever played then. Thanks for the upload
This game helped me cope as a young teen for three years being homeless, bouncing from hotel room to hotel room. While I didn't have a permanent home in real life, my Megaton home was always there. Crazy to think that was all over a decade ago now.
I wish I could erase this game from my mind and just replay it again with my brother for the first time. Its one of our best memories going back and forth with the controller killing radscorpions and giggling over Fawkes “BY ALL MEANS LETS”
I was so obsessed with this game that I kept playing until my save file became so big that it slowed the frame rate more and more until it became unplayable. The main quest, all the side quests (I think), all the DLC, followed by hours upon hours of free-roaming and random encounters until the game just couldn't take it anymore. To this day the exhilaration of leaving the vault for the first time and just roaming that incredible world with this magnificent soundtrack is a feeling that no game before or since has been able to match.
Just thought of this listening, but the instruments contribute to the theme of the story. That after nuclear apocalypse and the end of the "modern age," the sounds, the pace, and then the spirits of ancient struggle for life come back.
with the exception of I think, the grand theft auto games which dont really apply. and the stalker franchise, Fallout 3 was my first real open world game, I dont really care if its an unpopular game, it was a lot of people's first fallout. including me
Love this music, also I’m wondering what are the rules with copyright when using this music as I wanted to use some of it in a video? Any help would be amazing
I believe if it's game music, then youtube doesn't really have an issue with flagging it as copyright, I suppose Bethesda themselves would have to strike the video if they didn't want you using their music. Crediting the music source in the description could always help too I suppose, less likely to be flagged for Copyright. gyazo.com/a9ddfc826d44b75ff0c6f909c35c250c
@@Endreaver amazing thank you so much. What about if I used the music in a video where the video itself has nothing to do with the audio in this case fallout 3 ambience?
@@Minepool1987 More likely to be flagged in that case, i don’t think youtube would flag it per-say, but whoever runs the legal team over at Bethesda might if your video gains enough traction (views) Not saying that they would tho, its a fairly old game/soundtrack now, so the possibilities of a strike are quite low, companies tend to let things slide more the older their content gets.
problem is fo3 takes place 200 years after the war but looks like it was just 2 weeks not that the atmosphere is bad just doesnt make sense in the timeline
Seems to play fine on Steam bro? Playing through it now, GOTY edition with no mods. Get a few lock ups that seem to be caused by using a controller and DS4 Windows but generally it plays fine with really fast loading times with ssd. Holds up great, exploring the wasteland with this soundtrack is unrivalled.
Although Fallout New Vegas is a great game and overrated, it doesn't give a full on wasteland vibe unlike Fallout 3 my first Fallout game. The green atmosphere and the barren capital wasteland shows how much destruction the great war caused.
yeah I never really felt the "fallout" aspect of new vegas as opposed to 3, it's hard to feel like a barren wasteland when 99% of it already is one. Say what you will about the story but the feeling of walking through radioactive sludge and mutant filth is exactly how id expect a nuclear holocaust to feel like. Meanwhile NV just makes me feel like im eating sand/gravel everywhere I go, cant stand it
I couldn't enjoy this with all the adds socking me in the ears. When its supposed too be a sleep aid... not good. So i will take the place of being in the " disliked " comment world. Too bad really.😢🤧
Sorry, I have no control over ads on CZcams, i’m also not partnered too so I don’t benefit from them showing ads on my videos, out of my control unfortunately 😔

Ah the Capital Wasteland. New Vegas might be my favorite Fallout game, but I had the most fun exploring the Capital Wastes.
Yeah. New Vegas is still one of the best RPGs, but the world pales to this one, full stop.
Yup if New Vegas focused solely on creating the world in the city rather than the city/mohave I believe the map would be a lot more fun to explore.
Agreed. I'm playing NV for the first time right now. NV has a much better story, much better writing, and much cooler faction dynamics. But FO3 has better ambiance and visual worldbuilding.
Probably because NV is mostly desert.

The ambience of fallout 3 was so good and fitting that I went through the whole game just listening to it. Never turned on the radio.

Honestly, after all this time there's just something about the music from the Capital Wasteland that still gets me.

Facts
I love how there are tons of sounds also used in the old WoW soundtracks. It's like hearing two games at once.
One of the greatest experiences I have ever had in gaming was with this game right here
Been using this background music while I read Cormac McCarthy's The Road and it's been excellent
1:34 This exact part of the ambience randomly pops into my head bringing back a million memories.
How it feels like to be out in empty halls at school
Great vid, reminds me of the good times
I love how the video is just a loop with a really bugged out eyebot going back and fourth
12:45
this one def sticks out to me
This is what im refering to when i say i love the music in fallout
fo1 ost for me
mike morgan is a genius

Just as good as skyrim's
Wow, the first track sounds like Leyndell's ambience from Elden Ring. In fact, a lot of ER's ambience resembles FO3 imo
I put this on when playing Kenshi. Got a recommendations when i raid black dragon ninja tower? And when i go to take down holy nation?
Ugh I miss living in 2011.

Im gonna have to see about modding this into fo4, surely nexus should have something like this?
Used this myself in the past, highly recommend :)

@@Endreaver much obliged, thank you!
I can't get over how excellent this ambience is. Pure nostalgia too.
Considering this was America's capital. No surprise it would be smoldered.
What is the first track called? Does anybody know? It's my favorite track.
I think it's "Old lands, new frontiers."
I'm surprised this Enclave outpost survived an hour untouched, usually a Deathclaw or Yao Guai will spawn in and wipe them out for me
Deadly turret mod and they wont. You may avoid it as well.

New vegas best game, F3 best post apocalyptic ambiance.
