| Euphoria14 said: I asked for help lastnight picking out a game and ended up going with Fallout 3. Now I did enjoy Oblivion but it took me a while to warm up to it, now I am pretty much going through the same thing and things that bothered me a bit before stand out like a sore thumb now. #1 WAY too much dialogue. Everywhere I go it seems somebody stops to talk to me. Leave me alone for a moment and let me play the damn game. Thats mostly at the start of the game. Once you get past Vault 101 and a little bit of Megaton, it ceases to be any sort of issue. #2 Sometimes the layout confuses the hell out of me. I reached the first town and it literally took me almost a half hour just to find the general store. Not to mention it took me a while to realize where to go after leaving the Vault. I hate having to go into the PIP each time I want to go somewhere. Exploration FTW? It's not a JRPG where a big sword is hanging out of every weapon shop. There are multiple shops, and you can always ask the townspeople where gun stores and such are. #3 Wow, did this game take a nosedive in the presentation department? I know I have only played for aound 2 hours or so, but I know when I left the sewers in Oblivion and saw the world for the first time I thought the trees, grass, etc... looked beautiful, to be honest that game still does. In Fallout3 however it just looks so dull, just walking around the wasteland is boring and so much grey. Go north to Oasis if you question the design. Furthermore...Wasn't Fallout 2 pretty bland too? I dislike the sterility of the game, but it *is* after a nuclear war, ya know. #4 I have never seen a gun more useless than in Fallout3. Maybe I need practice, who knows, all I know is that it is pretty stupid that I need to use the R2 and select a body part just to connect with a damn shot. I don't like taking forever to pull off a shot. Do I want to use Melee? No, that is what Elder Scrolls is for. Yes, you do need practice. Using a combo of VATS and real-time firing yields incredible results. Also, if your weapon skills are low, the damage output is going to suck. Melee in FO3 is far superior to anything put forth in Oblivion or Morrowind..Decapitations FTW. #5 Storyline. Wow, this has so far bored me to tears, I am not talking about tears of joy or tears of sadness. I am talking tears because I was yawning. No joke, I only stopped playing this game lastnight because it literally PUT ME TO SLEEP. Where are you? It'd be nice to know what part of the story is that bad. |
I seriously think your one of the 2% that didn't like Fallout 3. It was better than almost every RPG I've ever played...And easily my GOTY of 2008.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
