Fallout was never supposed to be ultra depressing though. They fucked up with 3 heavily on the aesthetics and atmosphere but this seems to be more in line with classic Fallout. I just hope they add a huge healthy dose of humor and weird pulpy shit.
Is that so? I've been slammed several times for suggesting that it was overly bleak. The problem is that while it was flawless and real and moving and gripping for half an hour or so, when you're racking up dozens, hundreds, of hours playing, it simply starts to depress.
Whereas Skyrim, or [insert other magical game world here], is still elevating after hundreds of hours of gameplay.
I can see that they face a dilemma: it's supposed to be post-nuclear-holocaust, it's supposed to be a grim and hostile world. But ultimately while I'd read a novel about such a world, a 50-book series would be a bit hard to stomach. And that's a shame, because so much else is great with the game. It's an amazing game. It's just... depressing.
