Liking FPS's while hating Fallout 3

Yes, other people have stated this before me, but Fallout 3 is NOT a first person shooter. It's an RPG, which happens to have guns in it. The game is built off of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls games, most notably Oblivion, and therefore was never meant as a shooter. If you do not use VATS on a regular basis in combat, you're not playing the game properly. It's why adding iron sights in New Vegas was an incredibly stupid thing to do since there's no reason for you to use them. Sure, using sniper rifles/scoped weapons doesn't make much sense in VATS, but that's why I said "regular basis". Maybe if(when) Fallout 4 is released, they'll put a bigger emphasis on the shooting, but I highly doubt it.

I can see their point. Fallout 3 is a good game but the combat is arse. I don't care how much people complain about cover based shooting, standing in the line of fire or jumping around isn't the way forward. Movement is also pretty stiff. For me, Fallout 3 is a fantastic example of how good games aren't made by how good individual components are but how they're combined.

Also, did you specify fallout 3 and/or new vegas? There is a chance they confused your meaning with Fallout 1 or 2 which are pretty far removed from the current incarnation.
