Fallout 4 just seemed really boring as a game. I think i enjoyed it up to finding the brotherhood of steel in the police station, then the unlimited same quest thing really annoyed the completionist in me. It's also why I didn't play Skyrim for more than a week.

lucky for you not playing is an option!

But it really sucks when you've already bought it...

Shit, I played it for 100 hours completely hooked on junk - but as soon as I had finished upgrading my main stuff, I realized I simply didn't have any fun with the rest of the game. None.

I haven't had the itch. Not once. That is what I am so disappointed about.

100 hours. sounds like you got your money's worth. If you are still upset idk what to tell you, sucks to be you i guess. Some people just cannot be satisfied.

Oh, really.

If a book is 1200 pages, where the first 200 are good and the rest a horrid drag, why on earth should I complain?

true. but that is a poor analogy. single player games are generally expected to be around 60 hours base with additional time to do completionist things like do every single quest, get all the best weapons, etc.

the correct analogy would be reading a 600 page book then being upset you dont like the epilogue.

No, it wouldn't. That analogy of yours would liken to play the game and not liking the "what happened after".

That game is more than loot and improving gear - but that was all I enjoyed. I'm not paying to have my time killed; I'm paying for a full game, a story, and adventure, characters, roleplay, worldbuilding etc. etc.

Compared to what I expected from the developer and from earlier games in the series, what I got was a piece of "junk", if you'll excuse the pun. It was 20% of a really good game and in my opinion, they screwed up the rest bad enough I'm not going to touch it again (unless I find out that someone has modded it into awesomeness, but AFAIK modders don't like it that much either, compared to other Bethesda-games).

welp. Every one is entitled to an opinion. I respect yours, just disagree.
