Finally picked this game up and can't help but realize it's strikingly familiar to BIOSHOCK. I almost feel like I am playing a continuation of it lol. Not that it is a bad thing but not what I was expecting.

Played it for like 3 weeks and got bored.
Unlike Fallout 1&2, there is nothing that drives me wander, besides finding bigger guns or more money, and for the most part, I don't encounter beings that I know I shouldn't attack (unlike Deathclaws in Fallout 2).
I just spent so much time walking around pointlessly, knowing that there was probably some mission that I had to do in order to proceed in the game, that I just gave up playing at all.

I enjoyed Fallout 3 immensely, in fact I was kind of bummed when I set into motion the chain of events that lead to the end of the game, because I wasn't done exploring. At some point I'll load from an earlier save point and finish things off.
I do feel ya on the Bioshock similarity, but like you said, not a bad thing.

I needed another game where I could explore, I've been playing COD4 and COD:WAW along with NCAA Football 09 for the past 3-4 months, confined to a limited amount of space in both of those games.

Do none of y'all just hop in your car and drive around aimlessly? Bonus points if you just moved to a new and unfamiliar area. Double bonus if you get a gun pointed at you, (happened when I first moved to Flint, MI for college).

i did that for 3 years delivering pizza. I had enough of the random driving adventures doing that, I once had someone try and rob me with a butter knife, I along with the customer I was delivering to, kicked the guys ass, got a nice tip too for not f'ing up the pizza in the mess.
Sleep is over rated as well, I like to get the most out of my days as possible after almost losing my life on I-75 a few years back. After school or work, then the gym, then working on the car or taking pictures, I bust out the xbox if I don't have school chit to do, I also need something to do at the girlfriends house as well.

I used to do it at work all the time. The complants used to bother me a little but not as much as the occasional low drive thru window.

You could always clean my gutters and fix the roof over my kitchen.

While she is watching her crappy shows: American Idol, Private Practice, Grey's Anatomy, etc. I purchased a nice little 22inch HDTV and a used xbox360 so I have something to do while I'm there. When the lights go off thats a different story...........

I can't remember the last time I played a video game. Stuped full time work and grad school, oh and kids, and the food pantry I volinteer at, and my wife wanting to spend time with me.
All that E36 M3 gets in the way.....

a couple of summers ago I flew to DC and helped my brother convert his basement into his office/game room/mix master DJ area. This was due to the fact that he had a kid, wife, work, and came home and had no place to retreat. Maybe this is what you need to do Eric.

This game rocks, I got it for Christmas and although I already compleated the main task, I'm playing freeform and love it even more, playing totally evil and doing what I want. Exploring in this game is the most fun part of it for me, the goals are secondary.
