I understand the hate, I just don’t think it’s warranted. I’ve been watching videos about fallout 3 and it made me want to play it again but with a focus on exploration instead of just trying to min/max like I always do in New Vegas and I have to say fallout 3 gives more of a survival horror vibe than New Vegas where even if you’re not trying you can dominate everything within a few hours relatively. In contrast I’m like level 8 rn in fo3 and I really had to decide if I wanted to fight this group of talon company mercs or run away because I’ve been exploring for a while and don’t have the ammo to really put up a fight.
Yeah Fallout 3 has its own vibe and it's bleak and I like it. The atmosphere is great and those exact scenarios of "fuck I gotta use a stupid gun because I'm out of bullets for a good gun" make for some nail biting experiences
