Fallout: New Shovelware

Okay, I call myself a true FPS gamer, and a follower of RPG games, but recently the current games who attempt to mix these two genres are as I quote my friend "Read: The Boring as all get-out genre".

Seriously, games like Borderlands and RAGE seem to have their redeemable qualities by emphasizing co-op and other tried and true methods...but once the title "Fallout" appears the only thing I can do is cry...or laugh...or both(?)

Seriously, the series is nothing but as I quote my friend again "A FPS on training wheels(training wheels as in the RPG-luster method of overused and abused quest-system)". The abhorent amount of glitches and bugs serves to make the game as "Shovelware cloacked as a AAA title" to the point of gamebreaking and frustration. It's amazing how Bethesda gets ANY profit or enormous sales but to the irony of the games' major selling point being a plethora of game mods(plenty of them being copyrighted material such as STAR FOX). That said the game in it's nature is nothing but a bore-fest as watching videos of players gaming it(see what I did there?) either Live or recorded....the game seems boring as if there was no tomorrow.

That said the quest system is more derivative of MMOs, and thus quoting a term coined by Will Wright, the famous creator of Spore by saying "Massively Single-player Online" with a huge world....but only yourself to play with. That said who would of thunk that by TAKING AWAY the emphasis of such of quest system out of the hands of friends who might want to share those quests together, and giving them to a single person and almost ridding them of all potential "fun value" is almost a sin within itself. Thus it seems the urgent need to "reboot" this shovelware content with such as stated "game mods" that only help to refresh gameplay and the glitchy RPG-like system that only seems to "newbify" the potential gameplay.

If anything I hope games like RAGE are a wake up call to titles like Fallout that there are and will be better interpretations of such an "FPSRPG" genre.
