I really don't understand the hype for Fallout series.
Well yea... Maybe the lore is cool and full of interesting details. But on the technical side of things - it is very hard to enjoy this game if you're not into masochistic endeavors.
Just like with Fallout 3 - I can't make myself finish or even fully commit to playing this game. When does it get good? When do you start to physically ignore the bugs and rough edges?
I hate the fact that I turn my MAP on with an M button, but I can't turn it off by pressing the same button again...
I hate that the world is full of sharp and uneven edges - the camera constantly bobbing over the smallest of bumps. Making me feel sick after a while. And I'm 100% sure that this is not the problem with me - I love shooters and have been playing them all my life! None of them had this weird feeling camera issue like Fallout does.
I hate that the movement itself feels like I have wooden sticks for my legs... This weird, stiff feeling of not being able to do anything decent. Forget about jumping through the windows or over obstacles without accidentally clipping a corner that is a little bit too high.
I also hate my companion that keeps constantly getting into fights that it loses which is annoying and is a waste of Med X. Nothing more fun than getting blasted by security sentry because the stupid dog decided to go around the building instead of going with me...
Oooh... And I hate bullet sponge enemies! Well... not maybe the enemies themselves, but the fact that the majority of shots get wasted on random recoil which does not guarantee that the first shot will always land on the target. Forcing me to constantly use Pip-Boy aiming which also sucks...
But then yea... I still hate the enemies. For how unpredictable they move! And it is not because they use some sort of real-time strats... It is because of the horribly designed world. NPCs keep bopping around on uneven surfaces. Funny when they are stuck, because it is an easy kill, buuuuuut... This is supposed to be a triple-a product with every corner polished to a very high standard.
And then I even got my save game bugged with insta-death...
Too bad I already wasted 2 hours on this game trying to get along with how bad the gameplay is...
There are far more interesting and polished-out games out there than Fallout and I dare to say that Fallout is overrated.
