RE: The Weekly Rant EP 03 - Name a Game You Just Can't Love (Sadface) - #GamersUnited
I cannot into Bethesda RPGs to save my life. I've tried Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, they just can't hold it for me. I know they're great games, I love the music, I like the in-jokes (Lusty Argonian Maid ftw!), I like everything about them EXCEPT actually playing them. I'll create a new character, do the tutorial, get started in a few quests, and...
then...
well...
I just get bored. It's the weirdest thing. I don't know why, but it's happened multiple times across multiple games. Couldn't explain it if I tried.
Whaaat Fallout 3 and NV are epic D:
It's not for lack of trying, either! I dropped a good 45 hours into FO3 between 3 different characters. After raiding that grocery store for the survival guide in Megaton, I lose interest. I can't venture out too far, never really figured out how to get VATS to play nice, and I would get murdered by different roaming bands of raiders. That or super mutants. Couldn't level up enough to be able to afford anything.
Like I said, not for lack of trying.
Maybe it's about the fact that those games aren't for everyone o: Maybe you like games with more concise objectives or storylines that don't involve such free roaming or exploration, IDK. For me I just get lost into this sea of exploration with so much to do. I absolutely love it!
I can't seem to get into fallout tho, lmao.
Fallout: New Vegas was amazing! Loved playing that growing up :)
I know exactly what you mean. Because I'm the same with Bethesda games. I never really gave Skyrim a chance, because I need at least a little red thread in role-playing games and I like to have an impressive and comprehensive story.
I certainly tried Fallout 3 6 times, but I lost interest every time shortly after the game started.
Another series of games I really tried were the Zelda games. Here, too, the spark of genius was never to be ignited. By far the longest I have held out with Manjoras Mask. Funnily enough I like the Gameboy Color games, like Four Seasons.
Ocarina of Time was the only one that held me for anything, and I've never gotten past the Water Temple. So there is that...
