Otherwise, bias will become evident and it may mislead people. The reason why I say this is, I've been enticed by countless games because I read reviews that falsely advertise similarities between them and other games that I really love. So I get the game, and lo and behold, I'm quite let down. Either that or they assume "if you like (blank1), you'll love (blank2)." Anyway, there's my rant -.-;;

Let me clarify my point since I get this response alot.
Number 1, this is not a review. And it is purposely not a review. it was just my personal experience with the game. It is going to be biased. I did summarize it with Objectivity at the end and draw the line between my bias and the game on its own merits.
I did not expect Fallout in anyway to be Oblivion. What frustrated me was the short cuts they took how tedious certain features with the game were.
My disappointment (related to Oblivion) lies solely in the fact that I felt that this game, to me, was not as good as Oblivion. The differences they have don't really bother me too bad. In fact, if you read the Play By Play, you'll probably see that the similarities they have disappointed me more than their differences. (repetition, fetch quests, etc)
I just felt that, all around, Oblivion was more fun to play. And since this game was put together by the same developers, with a similar engine used for that particular game, I felt it should have taken the benchmark set by Oblivion and crushed it with awesome presentation and gamplay. (even if that gameplay was different)
If I had never played Oblivion, my frustrations with Fallout would have been similar. Not quite as severe I'm sure, but similar none-the-less.
So, long story short, I welcome change and difference... The game just didn't live up to my expectations. Oh... and I did not take you as pushy. I welcome feedback. Helps us improve.
