Fallout 3...

[ooberallen]

Just beat the game, overall it was very "meh", then again I hated Oblivion, but the one thing that made the game worth every penny of the $63 and change price tag was Liberty Prime. Liberty Prime alone ALMOST made up for all the bugs in the game: audio not playing, text skipping immediately, getting stuck on random rubble, horrible slowdown in the middle of nowhere, the inability to kill children, horrible physics and pathing bugs, etc...

Yes, I've played and enjoyed Oblivion. VATS is cool, but once you run out of action points for it, you're stuck firing your weapon manually and missing 90% of your shots. I know it's not meant to be like Halo (not a big shooter fan anyway), but would it've killed Bethesda to do implement some form of aim-assist for people with crappy aiming skills? I'll keep playing, and see if my opinion changes. Hopefully, it does.

But if you did that, it would almost complete negate using VATS for any type of aiming situation, especially for those that ARE big shooter fans (like me). It would make the game a bit too run-n-gun.

Still playing through my first run.

You're missing 90 percent of your manual shots? Exactly how far away are you shooting from?

But anyway, this game is way too fun.

90%? I actually miss more often when I'm using VATS (I guess I'm good at aiming in this game?), and AP refills fairly fast in my opinion.

...and, isn't the point of VATS to assist aim?

I can understand not liking a game, but the I enjoy this game for the same reasons I enjoyed Oblivion. The huge sandbox world, and all the different items, weapons, quests, etc etc. I'll be playing this game for hours to come.

Yeah, same here but I'm playing on PC with a mouse. Up close to mid range VATS is easier since you can pause to target. From mid to long range though it's easier to actually shoot normally than it is to use VATS. VATS functions more like bullet time in my games.
