Fallout3 is depressing

I cant shake this feeling but playing fallout3 is depressing, dont get me wrong, its a great game but when I play it, I get this feeling that i dont get with other games, other games like KZ2, GTA I feel nothing, only other game I have feelings when playing is MGS4 but that was a good happy/epic feeling.
Anyone else feel depressed when playing fallout?

Uhm... No.

That means they did their job well

Yeah. It was depressing because it was such an awful game. kayos539

With all those examples you listed you sure made a compelling argument

The atmosphere got to me when i first played the game...listening to galaxy news radio the whole time can cheer it up a little though...both Fallout 3 and Oblivion are amazingly ambiant games...whether the desolate capital wasteland or the magical land of cyrodiil...CosmoKing7717

Nope, but I know what you mean. Sometimes when I was going around, I had a weird lonely feeling that this could actually happen sometime in the future. Who knows?

So you'll make the statement but then refuse to do anything more ever?

I'm very happy to know I'll never have to see you in a Fallout thread again

Thank you

It's a very depressing game, at first.

[spoiler] I remember doing the Big Town quest where I had to go save Red. It took me a while and it was pretty difficult, but I saved the two guys. Then the Super Mutans raided and everyone at Big Town died; that made me sad. :( [/spoiler]

lol.

Ya i found it depressing, I think its cause it does such a good job at immersing you in the world.

i think it would be a depressing time anywayz considering NUCLEAR FALLOUT...

but no i didnt find the game depressing, prehaps if you found it depressing maybe you didnt like it as much as the other titles you mentioned...

I know exactly how you feel, but some people like the game because of this. The environment made me stop playing the game. It was so lonely and quiet. And out of nowhere, bandits and creatures would attack me. And I hated the mission that required me to go into the market with a bunch of bandits hanging out inside and find samples of food for that ladys journal. It was fun, but it wasnt a situation I wanted to be in.

I prefer Oblivion. Meeting the drug dealer behind the house at night to buy some Skooma. Dropping the moose head on the guy when he sits in his reading chair. Fallout 3 makes you feel like its just you against the world. Oblivion made you feel part of something.

Going through sewers and fighting goblins and giant rats or crabs, getting shot at by bandits hiding in an abandoned school, retrieving food in a supermarket while staying out of sight, and traveling a post-apocalypic place full of creatures isnt my thing.

Depressing? Well, not to me.

I found MGS4 to be more sad than Fallout 3 over all.

Nope, but I know what you mean. Sometimes when I was going around, I had a weird lonely feeling that this could actually happen sometime in the future. Who knows?

I didn't feel much while playing Fallout .. I wanted to get into the game, but for some reason I just couldn't .. guess it just isn't my cup of tea ..

Like all the Fallout games it ceases to be depressing when you remember that the game is a satire of 1950's America. Once you do the bleak nightmare landscape you're walking across becomes easier to take and often quite amusing.VoiceOfPlanet
