Umm. Fallout 3 definitely. Now I'm a guy who likes open world adventure games. Yes, even Oblivion. That qualifies as my game of the year from whenever it was released. At the start Fallout 3 is good. The start as in escaping the Vault. Not entering the wasteland. I feel it was very reminiscent of Morrowind how you were a piss-weak character with bad weapons and an ugly pair of pants. Now it took me a while to get into Morrowind. But once I got in the vibe it quickly became one of my favourite games. The parts at the start were not as interesting as I'd have hoped, but it was still fun looking at all the crazy shit and trying to steal Arille's silver staff, but Fallout 3 was just fucking boring. It drops you in a bland, poorly made world where the only thing to do is go to Megaton. Now Megaton was one of my biggest gripes with this game. It's the only fucking town I got to because the game bored me so much I turned it off before I got any further. And it too is an ugly, depressing shithole. It's still fucking impossible to navigate. And having to PAY the fucking guy to replenish your health... God, that's just too much. I got to the part where you meet 3-Dog and that's it. I tried to do his quest, but I get fucking lost in the ruins of DC. That's what was good about Morrowind. FAST TRAVEL OPTIONS!!! Don't make me walk there, save that for later. Especially if the world you plop me in is uniteresting as fuck and all I fight is rad-roaches. That's boring!!!
Another game is Gears of War. It is as bland as it gets. You're a super hulked up space marine fighting mysterious alien #1395. Never mind that the story is ass, the gameplay is the same traversing between downtime areas to CQB in enclosed areas with chest high walls.
And that's all it is.
Again, another game I didn't finish because I was too bored being chainsawed in the fucking face for the 15 millionth time. The gore didn't appeal to me, and that's basically what the game is, isn't it? A gore fest. Marketed towards twelve year olds who think that's the coolest thing since hiding porn in their treehouses. The characters were extremely forgettable. Marcus Fenix, the hulk out to kill everything that exists. Dom, the distraught husband who's lost his gal. It's kind of hard to invoke any kind of emotion in me other that disgust when I have a chainsaw mounted to the underside of my gun. The chainsawing people wasn't even fun. It just makes you think the producers were kids thinking: "What if we took a gun... And a chainsaw..." "Dude that's sweeeet..."
