I have memories of FO3 being amazing, but when I try to start a second playthrough, it just feels like a slog and it doesn't pull me back into the groove.

FO:NV may be the exception, I remembering doing a solid handfull of playthroughs. Have not done so in ages though.

FO4, I got as far as The Institute and ran out of steam, and for the life of me I cant make it make it past the museum in an attempt at a fresh playthrough.

FO 76. I can't even make it down the hill before I get bored.

Is it me, or is the universe wonderful near perfection (yes, I am here because I am loving the show), but the games just have this extreme hurdle, this extreme cost of effort to get INTO the game, in a different way for each installment, that prevent you from getting hooked into a full playthrough?

Maybe its just me. Was just wondering since the franchise is getting such a boost currently.

Once I get into the game, I love the mechanics.

It just feels like each game has its own "youre gonna suffer for a very long time, then you will get to good part of the game" energy. And god forbid you put the game down before you reach the end, because you will never get to the end again.

It's more of an indictment on my attention span than the game, but fuck man.
