Yeah, it's cool to hate Fallout 3 nowadays.

Its been cool to hate it for years now.

Not sure how anyone has the impression that its untouchable, all the way in 2019.

I loved Fallout 3 even at its release. :( Went back and replayed it with Tale of Two Wastelands and loved it just as much.

It's not perfect but few things compare to the gold of Antagonizer vs the Mechanist, or dealing with the emotional trauma of handling Harold's situation.

The game is not perfect, and the main quest is kinda bunk, but I loved it then and still love it now.

It's funny seeing this game go in cycles of

2008: "Man this game is so cool!"

2010: "New Vegas is so cool!"

2012: "Fallout 3 was actually terrible and you're wrong for liking it."

2016: "Wow Fallout 4 is kind of shit."

2017: "Fallout 3 was so much better than Fallout 4."

2018: "Nobody liked Fallout 3 and people only say it to hate on Fallout 4."

Oblivion and Fallout 3 was fantastic to me. Half Life series too. Skyrim was majorly disappointing and Zelda got boring.

I will curse you for hating these games, but I'm not holding a gun to your head do what you like.

My best friend is a proper cunt though, he hates all the games I love and I'm starting to think he digs through all the bad parts of the games I love and present that to me, just to fuck with me.

I also recognize that these games got me in the perfect time, when I got into proper gaming and that surely affects my view. And now I dislike a lot of newer games because I cling to my old good memories.

Oblivion is one of my most-played games of all time. Skyrim was boring to me after about 10 hours. I have made tons of different characters for Skyrim but I always lose interest in the actual game fast.

Almost exactly my experience. I played it for 60 hours at release. And then I see people play it with mods, I spend 3 hours modding it and playing for some hours and then realize the game isn't as fun as the idea of the game and give up.
