So, I got this in a $40 pack from Steam at Christmas, so I thought I may aswell try and play it, but first I checked some reviews...

Apparently it has been dumbed down for consoles even more than Fallout 3.

- I heard the quests require no thinking, it puts a marker on the map and you go there and do what it says, you don't have to figure anything out.

- Everything is quest-chain based. The examples I heard included finding some dead soldiers and some tape, but not being able to do anything with it until the quest chain was at that point.

- No thinking required. A player I know found a secret password for some kind of base, however upon going to the base the password could not be entered. Eventually though the quest chain the next quest was to find the password (the dialogue did not acknowledge that he already had the password) and then go to the base. Upon going there he did not even need to enter it, it was entered for him.

Some other crit included; no rewards for exploring, dialogue is meaningless (there are no sidequests based on dialogue, only the quest log), there are no puzzles, everything is figured out for you, shit storyline, no incentive to play (the whole motive of the game is 'kill the guy who shot you' , as apposed to 'everyone you love will die' (FA2), or 'find your dad, the only guy who cares for you' (FA3)).

Oh, and something about you having to fix a sexbot for a pimp? I am guessing that isn't true.


Is it worth even downloading to play? Keep in mind I am not a console gamer, I'm a real gamer.
