However, the weapons can be quite difficult to control and gameplay is very challenging in parts.

Aha, as a rare individual who has actually managed the frustrating task of successfully completing Lionheart despite its flaws and impossible difficulty without batting an eyelash, I think it would be appropriate to say that Fallout 3, in its infinite mediocrity, presents gameplay that is so infantile and despicably easy, that I actually forgot that I had placed the game on Very Hard from the get go and five hours in attempted to change the difficulty, only to realize it wouldn't get any harder.

Fallout 3 is quite honestly, one of the easiest "RPGs" I have ever played in my life, even Mass Effect had the decency to become piss difficult on the hardest difficulty.
 
The only major publication that I can think of that gave the game a more realistic review is Wired magazine.

dont worry we get the foreign-language bonus plus the "internet-shield" spell. It makes not immune against the grammar-nazombis. But helps to not get infected by vocabularismus :P

I could never finish the last couple of dungeons because I spent my points on close-range weaponry, and the archers were destroying me >____< I also didn't have enough mana pots. *sigh*
 
Wasteland...(if you know your games, you'll know this was actually the first in the series)

Actually if you knew your games wouldn't you know that Fallout was a spiritual sequel of Wasteland...

Of course whoever said that games journos ever knew anything about games.

As for "more stupider" according to the linguisitic descriptionist point of view any language is correct so long as the meaning is understood. I don't think any native english speaker hears "more stupider" and say 'hey what on earth does that mean'? Putting two comparative words next to each other isn't grammatically incorrect in my book (which is the descriptionist view).

It's actually "more stupid." "Stupider" isn't a word.

It's a double superlative. Pretty sure that's wrong.

Are we done with the whole English earfuck yet?
