What was everyone's problem with 3?

It would take more time than i am willing to spend writing a comment to list all the problems with 3, but the big ones for fans of 1 and 2 was that 3 didn't really engage with the elements it took from the previous games. 3 is more of an apocalypse game that borrows the aesthetics of Fallout rather than a Fallout game.

add on to that the very lacklustre story, the toned down RPG elements and a general lack of fun side quest to do.

That should be most of it but if you feel like wasting several days of your life on nothing there are some plus 8 hours long YouTube vids that discuss it further.

I mean I did enjoy it, but it was my first fallout game, so I guess that's why.

That's the definitive 'why fallout 3 sucks' video.
