Something of a tough game to rate. Too similar to Fallout for its own good. There's next to nothing changed mechanically. Which makes it easy to pick up and master. However, outside of companions it doesn't really lap the prior single player Fallout at much. Sure, you can RP easier if that's your thing but the world itself isn't particularly fascinating or fun to explore.

You're in this overbearing capitalist critique that gives no alternative beyond, "what if we put nicer people in charge of the shit hole?". Even the better side quests are beat for beat ripped from prior Fallout quests. It's a fine, worth playing once game.

My first playthrough as a grown adult I believe.

Considered docking this for the cringe Rockstar humor. Although I do think this game is pretty funny at times. The big punchlines (HUHUH INCEST!) aren't funny but the random NPC banter is good shit. The open world is still one of my favorites. The random chaos happening across school campus is hysterical.

I only found 1 mission to be flat out bad/poorly done. Maybe not all compelling and some simply shouldn't have made the cut (ie. the weird pervert ones) but I wasn't struggling. The story's a bit of gibberish because the main character Jimmy Hopkins is a flat out dumb fuck. On one hand his character is embarrassing but on the other it's a unique experience. How often do you play as a complete, bumbling moron? Albeit one who can destroy an entire school with his bare hands.

I feel like I should have more complaints but I thoroughly enjoyed my replay of this game. Alexa play What More Can I Say
