[...] we lined up three common criticisms gamers have leveled against his post-apocalyptic RPG to find out if he agreed with them.

Criticism: #1: “Fallout 3″ is just mediocre when judged as a first person shooter.
Howard: Agreed.

Criticism #2: The ending isn’t very satisfying and much shorter than other “Fallout” endings.
Howard: Based on the feedback I’ve seen, most people are pissed off that it ends, not the ‘ending’ itself.

Criticism #3: V.A.T.S. is boring once you’re accurate enough to head shot everyone.
Howard: Depends on what you find entertaining. I like to blow people’s heads off, so, well, it never got old for me.​
