First time out of the vault

Ok, I'm really not that guy to just lay my hand flat on the table and spew in other's faces, hating on anything new because if it's old, it's automatically better. I hate that crap, I hated it when people did that with NV and F3 when NV was new.
But now that Fallout 4 is out, I just can't get into it. At first I really really wanted to, but there was just something so cold and dead about that game. There a couple of small details I can point out about F4 of why I feel that way. One thing is the radio station music. A number of the songs are just cut and past from F3, nothing new, just "Set the World On Fire".. again. And Butcher Pete, and Mighty Mighty Man.. ugh.. All of which I didn't like in F3 too much to begin with TBH. And the combat shotgun and combat rifle. They're both the EXACT SAME models. I mean, really? It's a $100,000,000+ game, and it's too much to give the tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny pool of weapons their own looks? And then there's a couple of bigger things, one being the dialogue trees. I mean, do I even have to bring that up? Why in the hell did they seriously think it was a good idea to copy Mass Effects piss poor wheel dialogue style that no one liked to begin with? And then there's the story, Oh my God the story... There's just something about it I can't stand so much. The first thing I immediate noticed was how lazy, cynical, and thoughtless the general idea was, just F3's plot, but instead of son finding dad, it's dad finding son. Not to mention that (IMO) BS M. Night Shyamalan style plot twist.
I don't mean to totally rip on this game, there were still a lot of things I think they did right, like the combat gameplay and so on, but the overall "feel" of the game just feels wrong and soulless. In a way I don't feel in even the most cynical modern installations of long running franchise installments like GTA 5 (Which I love anyway). It's hard to really articulate TBH.
So I find myself reinstalling NV again, and I in a way, feel bad for still preferring it over F4. But when I play NV, I still create enjoyable memories, not just nostalgia from 5 years ago, I create even more nostalgia for myself, if that makes sense. In F4, I just don't feel that. I played almost 80 hours of F4, and nothing but the bad stuff sticks out to me. I have no memorable moments, just nothing. Not to mention, F4 for some reason feels so much harder to mod than NV. NV and F3's modding feels a lot easier to do, while F4's feels more sluggish and annoying for some reason. Anyway, that's the end of my pointless rant, just hope someone can get something from it.
