okay. i understand why this game is so important. i see why it was so groundbreaking. but i really don't think this holds up as much as other games that share fallout 3's status. it's a beautiful game, i can give it that much. fallout 3 portrays a wasteland exactly how a wasteland should be. but god, the gameplay was the equivalent of pissing rocks. i wish i had my own personal liberty prime to walk around like a dog and have it kill off all of the hostiles that would have otherwise made me use up half of my ammo and all of my remaining stimpaks. i'm sure that fallout 3 is incredible to play if you were there at its release, but as a newcomer, i can't say it lives up to its name.
