You are a hard shell to crack, dude! You obliterated Fable 2, and now your fiddling with burning Fallout 3 at the stakes, which, IMO is a really cool game.

Hell, if Yahtzee can say, "Yeah, it's pretty good," you know you've got to be in daisy land smoking the ... >;)

"IMHO it's Oblivion with guns and a different storyline/setting"

IIR, Oblivion was an awesome game. What's wrong with taking awesome aspects (huge dynamic world) from a game, wrapping something completely different around it, and releasing it?

I guess I should elaborate more on my problem with Fallout 3. It's not so much that it was a bad game, as it was pretty good "in it's own right." It was pretty decent on the immersion side, and (besides the fact that IMO fantasy setting > post apocalyptic setting) it was a vast improvement over Oblivion.

However, it's nothing compared to the first two games in the series. Plus, they took a 2D RPG and turned it into a 3D FPS with a few RPG elements. Oh, and the first two games were hard; this game was fucking EASY (I know, I didn't finish it, but I played about 75% before returning it to BlockBuster.)

So, in the end it's a pretty decent game by itself, but the worst in the series.

[edit]
Another issue I have with games like these (Fallout 3 and Oblivion) is that they don't really belong on the console because with a vast open world where you could easily die anywhere, you need a quick save button. There were a few times when I was wandering, found myself 100 miles from anywhere and without ammunition when I'd suddenly run into super mutants or deathclaws. It makes me so happy when I have to replay 30 minutes because I didn't have a quicksave button (and opening the menu to save manually takes too long.)

[edit2]
Also, Yahtzee is my idle (well, at least until the time when I make a game that he reviews lol.)
