    woe is Fallout 3
    If you click the image you will see an Xfire listing, my xfire listing of games played. notice that Fallout 3 is stuck between GoW and HL2: EP2. Now this isn't to say Fallout 3 is a bad game. But if you look up higher you will see games such as Left 4 Dead, Bioshock, and etc. So why will Fallout 3 never make it up to the level of addiction as those games. Let's make a list of reasons as to why this game fell short:

    1. Convaluded presentation
    2. Very Short Main Quest
    3. Really bad ending, leaves no incentive to replay
    4. Frustrating at times, no incentive to do anything really
    5. It's just not Oblivion.

    Anyone that has noticed my previous blog (simple verdics) will note that i used the operative word "maybe" in my phrase "Maybe when i have time i'll enjoy it" Well, i had time today (thanks to my thanksgiving break) and i can say that the reasons above are the main reasons i find the game a waste of money. at $50 for a game, that comes to about $3.50 per hour. Now, part of me does look at it as how much enjoyment did i get out per dollar, but to me, Fallout 3 really just fails with overall story telling. After having played it i can safely say that it feels more like a well made Oblivion mod trying to cash in on the Fallout cult, while yes you will find bits and pieaces to like (ie: i really liked Tranquility Lan and the last mission with the big Robot) in the end while there is plenty of content it's not enough to get me to play it again. So i will move on to Dead Space. Continue Left 4 Dead. Maybe restart S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, which i also fear will fallshort of my expectations, seeing as i loved the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
