59 crashes. Over 100 hours. 73 trophies. What a W man! Keep up the good work! Loving the content man😎

[@miiiniiidiiimiii]

Like i know the bethesda games crash alot its normal, (i have 3000h on skyrim trust me i know) but i also recently platinumed fallout 3 on the ps3 as well and did it on a save file on around 60-70h, and it crashed like twice over the course of like 3 months.... dont understand what kind of condition your console has to be for it to crash FIFTY NINE TIMES?

[@richardbilton4212]

​@miiiniiidiiimiii I'm trying to get platinum on the ps3 version of fallout 3, any tips? 😅

[@miiiniiidiiimiii]

@@richardbilton4212 sure bro, off the top of my head, speck into charisma and intelligence since ur gonna do alot of speech checks and computer hacks, other than that keep in mind that you cannot continue playing after the last main story mission so do every other side quest BEFORE the final mission. Also don't forget to loot everything since one of the side quests require you to collect 30 of a specific unique item, if ur wondering anything else more specific just lemme know, good luck

One of the funniest things in fallout three comes from burning Harold with a flamer thrower. There’s even a special GNR dialogue about the smell of fresh wood burning

[@CompletionistTrav]

Harold is the GOAT may he RIP

[@RY3NO]

The trophy icons for this game are so cool! I need to try this series one day, you should do far cry 3 next it’ll drive you insane!

I bet it would!🤣

[@thetruekiid]

Fallout 3 was start of gaming career as a child, had some nostalgic watching this ngl

[@itsmehkodey]

When playing on the ps3 save and close the app and restart it every 2 hours. Itll save on lag, bugs and other game issues. The engine can only handle so much data change without a reset. It's helped me significantly. First sign of lag reset. Not having game breaking bugs is a god send in these trying times

[@CompletionistTrav]

I actually noticed that, seemed like every 2-3 hours it was happening early on. After awhile it was random but still, probably could’ve saved myself a few crashes. Thanks for watching!

[@carbonismute]

I used to do this with New Vegas Because it would freeze at 2 hours every time 😭

[@Skall-ex]

Nice work smoothskin!

[@PlatinumROB_91]

"Because I punched you?" 🤣 Nice work Trav!

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

To give you small recap about Harold. He used to be human but the incident that was caused by FEV he slowly became a plant. Decades passed he turned himself into a tree.

[@CompletionistTrav]

Harold has been around since the beginning of fallout, every time I think of him part of me wishes that not killing him in the mission was canon and he’d show up in Fallout 4.

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

@@CompletionistTrav Perhaps if he was in state like in Fallout 1-2 could have an appearance but in a tree state is unlikely. He cannot move and probably had lot of backpains in veggie state. Can't even scratch himself. The death is better than living like a tree.

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

@@CompletionistTrav Even in show won't make an appearance unless they be at Washington part where he's in episode. And the show takes many years after 4.

[@CompletionistTrav]

@@xXSilentAgent47Xx Very true, that stinks. Although hypothetically they could make some changes and just shove him in there anyways, not like everything they've done has been completely canon.

The level based trophies for karma were so dumb. I honestly think every trophy should be attainable through one playthrough

[@CompletionistTrav]

Agreed, I forgot how annoying it was until I went through it for this video lol

[@andrew1ups]

@@CompletionistTravwhat’s the best way to go about the karma achievements. I saw u had 3 separate saves but I don’t exactly understand your method. Can you please explain? I don’t wanna do 3 complete runs. Thank you

[@connorwilson1349]

@@andrew1upsyou just save your game right before you level up and kill a bunch of people to lower your karma. If you need good karma donate to the church in Rivet City

[@CompletionistTrav]

@@andrew1ups No problem! I should've explained it more in the video. Basically once you get to about the halfway mark of the level before the trophy (7, 13, 19, 29), make a save. Then depending on your karma level, you can do a few things. The best way to earn good karma easily is by giving purified water to the guy outside of Megaton and the best way I found to get bad karma quickly was to sneak around and steal everything you can. Only kill enemies when you're going for the XP to level up and you should get them pretty easily.

[@andrew1ups]

@@connorwilson1349 awesome thank you! 😊

[@micahpowers2614]

I gotta say, i really hope that all that leaked info that came out last year was true cause Id love a fallout 3 remake. On a new engine, not the BS fo4/76 engine lol

[@CompletionistTrav]

That would go so hard but unfortunately I don't believe it lol

[@Klue27]

Bro what a memory! I remember this game being my 1st platinum ever and what an epic journey it was! Why no Vats tho?

[@CompletionistTrav]

It was so fun to revisit it! As far as VATS was concerned my PS3 kept crashing when I’d go into it😭 no idea why.

[@dariorocamora5419]

Great video man, I recently started the Fallout journey and got the platinum for FO3 over this past month, currently going for NV. Unfortunately the PS NOW on PS4 does not include the DLCs for any game, so I can only play the basic version and miss out a ton of great stuff

[@CompletionistTrav]

Yup, it stinks. For 3 I did the entire game on the PS3 but I was smarter with Nee Vegas doing the base game on PS5 and DLC on PS3. Thanks for enjoying the video!

[@ToLazyTooPlay]

Hell yeah! Love seeing fallout content!

[@JohnCalum]

Fallout Shelter next! I cant wait 😍

[@enricohepner]

2:47 Seeing the high amount of people claiming that Fallout 3 crashes on PS3, I'm starting to believe that it happens only on NA PlayStations/discs, as I've never heard someone I know to be European say that Fallout 3 crashes for them. On the other hand, my UK version of Fallout: NV Ultimate Edition does occasionally freeze up

[@CompletionistTrav]

That’s very interesting, I honestly can’t say I know anyone who has played a non-NA version of the game on PS3 to verify but that’s pretty crazy. Surprisingly I had no issues with New Vegas when everyone said it’d be worse than 3.

I never played 3 on PS3, but I did have New Vegas on the 360 and boy oh boy was that rough on the crashes and load times. Fallout 3 looks REALLY ROUGH stuck at 30 on the ps3, good job on powering through

[@CompletionistTrav]

Honestly it wasn't the worst thing. I'm not really a graphics guy so as long as the game works and doesn't look like I'm playing on a SNES I can't really be bothered haha

I've crashed 10 times so far and I'm like 1/4th of the way through the game. I crashed 5 times alone when doing the Quest where you have to clear out all the enemies for the scientists to go into where Project Purity is. It was so bad I had to load a previous save and lost some progress. I was ready to tear my room up. 😂😂😂😂

You do realise when doing that Mirelurk mission for the Wasteland Survival Guide, there's a door at the rear of the anchorage memorial with an average lock, pick it and you walk about 40ft in and plant the tracker 😂😂😂 Could've saved yourself soooo much time 😅

[@chrisotoole82]

Base game was mainly fine for me bar the map not loading in a few times so i was getting "you cannot go that way" messages but apart from that it was fine....until the dlc by the time i got to anchorage i had to save every 5 steps or so incase the game crashed. I didnt even bother with platting new vegas after tho i will go back eventually but the new vegas dlc scares me right now

I did this playthrough entirely on the PS3 with the GOTY disc, for my New Vegas video I did base game on PS+ then DLCs on PS3 w/disc.

Easier, but somewhat of a challenge, platinum Fallout Shelter on Ps4/5! Fun lil game that you can platinum and not that terrible!

I might end up doing that one down the line. I don’t view it as a traditional Fallout game so I’d only do it if I eventually did a “I Platinum’d Every Fallout Game” video.

[@TheCmurley131]

Legit question: im currently about 30-35 hours into Fallout 3 on PS3 and have never had a single crash or lag spike. Is the entirety of the crashing all towards endgame when your save file gets too big and all the impact your character has had becomes too much to load? Or am i just super lucky? Im playing on a PS3 super slim with a brand new disc reader installed.

The other Fallout games are fine but for some reason Fallout 3 is just soooo green and New Vegas is soooooo orange. Did they only have a limited colour palette in Bethesda's early days?

[@CompletionistTrav]

If I’m not mistaken the reason they had so much green in F3 was because they wanted the color palette to match up with the pip-boy so it didn’t feel out of place since it was such a huge focal point. As far as NV’s orange I would assume that just had to do with the setting of the game because Arizona IRL does have a very orange color with the terrain and stuff.
