Well, Personally it could've been better... I mean I like the game alot ok, don't get me wrong. But it's little bit away from perfect. One problem I got with it is when you cant manually choose where to shoot and you gotta use the crosshair; I wouldn't have a problem with it if it wasn't so small and hard to use. Another concept I didn't like is the guns breaking, that's very inconvenient, especially when you really need to use the gun that breaks. The story line is great, but sometimes even really early in the game it gets hard way too quick. Plus the navigation is really well I can't say bad but it's hard, because it can confuse you sometimes. All in all the game is really really good, just those details is what cause it not to be perfect. I know other people have other opinions about the game so I would love to hear them. Post them up I want to see what you people think.
And now I'm going to play Devil's Advocate for fun. That thing they talked about in all their interview called VATS, you're supposed to use it. You're not really supposed to aim yourself unless you have to. Although when I played I rarely used VATS since I had no problem with the aiming and could hit anything, maybe buff up some aiming skills? I don't know about you, but in the real world guns really do wear down and break. Bethesda likes making their games with a little bit of realism when it comes to equipment. You're either leveling yourself up too quickly which makes all the enemies get stronger as well, or you're heading into areas you're not really supposed to be going into at such an early level. I don't know what to say about this since there's a compass that points you in the correct direction of any place you need to go.
Basically everything that NRA said + having the ability to change the difficulty from very easy to very hard.
It's more realistic, try having no crosshair. I actually liked it because it felt more real, unlike when there's a big cross in the middle of your vision. Another trait of realism. In real life, guns wear down and break easily. Especially when they are a hundred years old and gun manufacturing has been shut down for so long by non-miltia. Turn the difficulty down. I thought this game was pure genius for the simple fact it's a simple concept, but the ideas associated with it were original. I though it was much better than oblivion and the only thing I didn't like about it, were the glitches that halted story line, and this wasn't a typical shooter, it was supposed to focus more on survival and post-apocalyptic life. This also. I found it very easy, and sometimes you had to look at your map to see that it was pointing you to specific place, and not a door.
You have to make sure to spend points on the right S.P.E.C.I.A.L.s. Read the descriptions and you should see one that gives you more points. Also, there are perks that do this as well.
Gunslinger - Increases pistol V.A.T.S. accuracy. Commando - Increases rifle V.A.T.S. accuracy. Mysterious Stranger - Random help from a man with a .44 magnum in V.A.T.S. Sniper - Chance for head shots increases in V.A.T.S. Action Boy/Action Girl - Gives 25 points to V.A.T.S. Concentrated Fire - Each hit in V.A.T.S. increase accuracy for next hits. Grim Reaper's Sprint(Last perk only) - Killing anything in V.A.T.S. replenishes V.A.T.S. points. Bolded ones are my personal favorite. Hope that helps.
