This is my "I did not care for the godfather". I tried to like this game, I really did, but it's just so fucking boring. It's an RPG that discourages you from roleplaying by putting anything even remotely interesting on the other side of 10-20 minutes of completely uninteresting walking, only for you to run into an NPC that, instead of giving you an interesting plot hook or questline, just tells you to fuck off or maybe even tries to kill you. Speaking of, it also happens to be a shooter that discourages you from shooting by making combat really clunky and setting you up to lose most fights because apparently they heard that "sometimes you should encourage the player to run away instead of fighting through everything" and decided to make that their whole philosophy on combat. In an RPG. And also, the stuff you get is sometimes worth even less than the money you spent on bullets and/or weapon durability. And so the game opens up the world for you to explore- except not really because if you wander off the road for two seconds you either die instantly or spend all of the game's overly limited healing items to get away with your life. I know it's a post-apocalyptic wasteland where resources are scarce, but if you're gonna have an open-world game like this where I'm encouraged to explore, make mistakes, and learn from them, then maybe don't make it such a pain in the ass to scrounge together the resources to be able to afford to make a mistake in the first place. And then, after all that fucking walking, getting shot at, and wondering when the hell the game starts to have an actual story that you get to participate in instead of just "lol caesar's legion already burned this town you don't get to step in and save them", after 8 hours of my life playing this walking simulator, I finally reached new vegas, and they tell me I need to be richer. That I don't have enough money. Could I have used a high computer skill to convince the robot to let me in anyways? NO! My whole build was having high computer skill and even then it still wasn't enough to let me ignore the stupid minimum wealth thing. It was at this point that I dropped the game, and I don't know if I'll ever return to it. I feel like I played a different game than the one people hype up so much. It just wasn't fun.
