Utterly Mad

Why is fallout 3 suddenly getting shit on so much? The environment was fantastic, most of the characters were pretty well done, the voice acting was as horrendous as you'd expect from Bethesda and it had Three Dog.

I've always shit on Fallout 3. It's a pretty crappy game on it's own merits that I think was really only popular because of the setting, and is just a steaming pile of rancid dogshit compared to New Vegas. Guns sucked and had no power behind them. Quests were not usually very well thought out. It was possible to accidentally beat the game and accordingly kill yourself within a few minutes of starting a game. The environment wasn't fantastic, it was a few well planned locations complemented by a whole lot of sparse, shitty ones, and the color pallet was basically just a bunch of different colors of muddy gray. The only reason it didn't feel like a garbage game is because it was "new". Kinda like Oblivion when it came out.

What I was really meaning with that comment though is that if the earth spun backwards, late morning on the east coast could be early evening on the west coast (if we define morning loosely). But you'd have to ignore Fallout 3 (set in DC and still saying the nukes came at night).
