I don't hate it, I just got bored. I felt similarly after Fallout 3. I think that universe just isn't for me (also, the weight limits are ass for free players). I played the Metro series before Fallout, and I think it kinda set the bar too high.
I'm not surprised people still play, though. It's pretty fun, and people are generally nice. There's lots to do, and the quests are decent.
Out of curiosity, have you played any of the non-Bethesda Fallout games? Because the Fallout-nees of FO3 (haven't played 76 or 4) is a paper-thin veneer composed of random elements from previous games jumbled together in ways that make no sense.
I have the first two games, but I've never played them. I've done 3 and 76 (the latter of which I hear borrows heavily from 4).
Are the first two better narrative-wise?
First time I've ever seen someone rate Metro above the Fallout franchise, not that there's anything wrong with the opinion.
Yeah, and it's not that I think Fallout is bad, it's just...I think it feels too cartoonish? Like, people are supposed to be struggling, but despite the post-apocalyptic setting, each faction has their own little kingdom and seems to be doing alright. Medicine and stim packs abound, and nobody is really living on the knife's edge.
And while that's at least partly by design (supposed to be satirical sometimes), it doesn't feel completely satirical, like Saints Row, or completely serious, like the Metro series. It's caught somewhere in the middle, and I think that's what doesn't appeal to me; I want it to be silly or not silly, and it rides that line in a way I don't like.
One man's trash. That's what I love about Fallout. 🤣
The weight limit is bad. I played recently and it seems like they did some adjustments, so not as bad as it used to be
