I'll explain myself.
What I love about Fallout [3/NV/4] is how it captures the sense of being more or less alone. Yes, there are people around, but they're not going to save your arse. If anything, they're more likely to stick a knife in it the second you turn your back.
So I spend my time wandering around, talking to the people I like, shooting the people I don't like, and immersing myself in the atmosphere.
Consequently, multiplayer sounds like an absolute disaster waiting to happen. I'm halfway through my march across the desolate wastelands, with my only companion a radscorpion that wants to sting me in the backside, and then suddenly 3 people dressed up as clowns bunny hop past me, firing fat mans everywhere they can and calling everyone a n00b in the chat function. My 15 minute experience of GTA Online was more or less that, FWIW.
Yet in your review, you say that "It's fun to a degree,in a Lond Wanderer way". Have I got the wrong end of the stick on the multiplayer bit?
In all honesty, I was quite excited about the reveal whenever that was, but as soon as I saw it was multiplayer I stopped reading, so I really have no idea what type of game it is.
