TC, Fallout 3 is a fantastic game.... if you enjoy openworld RPGs that is. They tried to make it more appealing to shooter fans but in the end you have to enjoy the non-linear structure. That or you have to understand you can play it linear by following the main quest marker in your HUD. If you do the later one then Fallout 3 can still be an enjoyable 10 hour experience, but what the devs hope to shape you into during those 10 hours is someone who goes off road and makes his own adventures. This happened to many people who played Oblivion and Fallout 3 as their first openworld wRPG game.
It didn't happen to you, maybe you were unpatient, maybe you didnt read and didnt even see the marker and simply wandered around aimlessly without ever understanding the appeal of it. When I first set foot in the wasteland and saw the detailed open space I couldnt wait to explore it all. You could also become that kind of gamer if you first follow the marker, if not then you still got a good enough shooter if you ot it half price. |
after reading all your responses, i think this is what happened to me, i expected a lot more action.
so, now im gonna play it again with a different perspective, and post my final conclusion here
thanks guys :D

It does take some time to get used to this kind of game, I imagine it will take longer if your used to shooters. I grew up with RTS games like Caesar 3 and Age of Empires 2 so maybe it wasn't as hard for me to make the switch. But I got an xbox after playing Halo:CE, then I picked up Morrowind (Oblivion's predecessor) because it looked cool in a weird way and it was half price. I don't know if you've heared about Morrowind but it is much much much slower then Fallout 3. It took me 7 hours to get used to it but having only 2D RTS games on my odl PC and no money left to spend I sort fo had no choice then to get into it. Now I consider it the best game I've ever played.
