| Normchacho said: So, I'm going to share an unpopular opinion with you guys. I could not stand Fallout 3. I put upwards of 20 hours into Fallout 3 between 2008 and 2009 and watched friends play it even longer in the same time frame and could never figure out why they liked it so much. I tried, I really did, but it does so many things poorly. The dialog is bad, the voice acting is cheesy, the game is ugly even by 2008 standards, the combat is clunky, the world was full of empty space with nothing to do in it... And I understand that a game can be good even if I don't like it, there are plenty of games that I don't enjoy but I can see why other people do. Fallout 3 just didn't come off as a good game to me. I am genuinely asking here, what made Fallout 3 such a good game? |
You tried too hard not to like it. Your criticism sounds pety to me.
I will explain. "bad writing" What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Can you not understand what people are saying? Its not supposed to be a book. Its supposed to be a game.
The dialog is bad, is just more of the same criticism you already gave. Its also supposed to be the portrayal of the earlier decades of the last century.
The game is ugly. A good game doesnt need great graphics. This is a shallow criticism. I did think the graphics were nice, so meh... i think you forget its a sandbox, not a corridor shooter. Resources are best spent on other areas.
Combat... well they made it an FPS, of course it wasnt going to be anything great. World full of empty... its called a wasteland. Its what they are trying to portray.
What is good about it? The portrayal of a post apocalyptic world in an early last century vibe. Something people feared during the cold war and this is a window to what could have been and how you would live in such a world. If the concept does not appeal to you, then you don't enjoy history.
Quite honestly, you clearly don't want to like it. I just dont have enough context to know why.
Of course theres always the possibility that you don't like these kind of games, but that is a probem with you and not the game.
