Oblivion disguised as Fallout, on a platform (PC) it wasn't designed for. Missing most basic of features it should have.
Initial - it started of promising, great opening into the game, what looks like good graphics, and a big open world to explore, with a nice array of unique side quests.
The bad emerges -
Graphics: No shadows, makes it seem so console, day night cycle is a nice touch though. Graphic quality becomes more apparent now that focus shifts into detail.
Open World - Not so open, cities filled with what should be passable barriers of rubble, cannot traverse from one end of the city to the other without taking "conveniently blocked off subway".
Interactivity - Indestructible world, words cannot express the disappointment that i can't blast a teddy bear, let alone a door, lock, or god forbid make a hole in a wall that's obviously just plaster or brick with a good amount of explosive.
I thought open world meant freedom to do as you please... not to be guided through it. For a post apocalyptic wasteland, there sure is a lack of destruction.
Inconsistency - perhaps this isn't so much of an issue i just found it interesting that cars and buses that look like they came from the 70's still have enough fuel inside them to explode after a few bullets....
What i liked - currency in form of bottle caps from cola bottles hahaha. Oh, and happening across Meat-dog, who i found to be quite fun to have around.
If i kept listing things I will get looked down upon even more so than i already am by people who have never heard of fallout or played its previous titles... Even from reading the official review i have a feeling that the reviewer may not have played the original titles by the way they were commenting so much on the brilliancy of Fallout 3... but I've been wrong before.
P.S. to game developers, please stop being so lazy! please!
