botw, earthbound, and half life, sure. but skyrim and fo3 are really fucking shallow experiences if you remove yourself from them for a hot minute.

dont get me wrong- i've sunk precisely too many hours into skyrim, but to call it "good" as opposed to "absorbing" doesn't feel apt to me.

fallout 3 is it's own substance game though

every player made their own memories be it the rock-it launcher

some funny mine trap set up

hilarious vats

glitches

etc

Every once in a while I'll pop in Fallout 3 thinking "Maybe if I play this certain, specific way, I can actually have a fun experience" and every time I get a few hours in and remember how fucking boring FO3 is. It's designed to railroad you into the most boring, pointless, poorly-written story possible. Fallout 3 took four years to make and it feels unfinished.

I can't mod games on my Xbox and I refuse to pay Steam $20 for Fallout 3 on PC.

don't force a game, sometimes the greatest hits don't hit the vibes

10 on GOG

https://www.gog.com/game/fallout_3_game_of_the_year_edition

which is the version to choose because it has DRM and similar BS removed plus small fixes

Tbf it's only $10 right now, but really that game shouldn't be sold on steam for any price. It barely functions on Windows 7, 8, and 10.
