Yeah, and it’s not that I think Fallout is bad, it’s just…I think it feels too cartoonish? Like, people are supposed to be struggling, but despite the post-apocalyptic setting, each faction has their own little kingdom and seems to be doing alright. Medicine and stim packs abound, and nobody is really living on the knife’s edge.

And while that’s at least partly by design (supposed to be satirical sometimes), it doesn’t feel completely satirical, like Saints Row, or completely serious, like the Metro series. It’s caught somewhere in the middle, and I think that’s what doesn’t appeal to me; I want it to be silly or not silly, and it rides that line in a way I don’t like.
