This is a very sad thread for me to make. I never really played the classic games, but I absolutely adored Fallout 3 and it would sit in my top 5 games of all time.



I had never in my life been more excited for a game than Fallout 4. I considered last years E3 reveal to be one of the best showcases if a game I had ever seen. My hype could not be stopped.



And for the first week or so everything was going great. Then I just stopped playing, and never went back...



I'm not really sure what the problem is, very likely a combination of things:

The voiced protagonist was a bad idea.

Open world fatigue is real...

...especially after Witcher 3 had set a new precedent

Gunplay was really good (for a Fallout) but they relied on it so much that it didn't feel very much like a Fallout game.

This type of game is probably just not for me anymore, I don't have hundreds of hours to build a settlement it just wander around doing nothing.

The story didn't grab me at all.

Something just didnt feel right.

(I will never play fallout 3 again, I think it's best left in my memory.)



To this day I have not come close to beating the campaign of my most anticipated game ever, and it's looking less and less likely that I ever will.



I guess j just had to make this thread to make it official. I kept holding out hope that id go back, but I have no desire too. I don't think it's a 'bad' game necessarily. But it's just not for me, that's a my own problem. But it does suck when you get so excited for something and it just isn't what you expected.



Anyway, to those of you who love it, I'm glad. To those who said from the beginning that it wasn't very good, in sorry I argued against you In those initial release weeks.
