Dear NMA,
Does anyone here have theories on why this game is so popular? Fallout 3 wasn't good, and any sane person could assume Fallout 4 was going to be worse for various reasons. I regrettably spent 60 hours on Fallout 3, and the only reason it sucked me in for that long was the addictive nature of the game. Maybe Fallout 4 is simply more addictive?
I've seen posts saying "I'll buy it when it's on sale to check it out" or something to that effect. Why? Why buy something you already know is going to be bad? Is it just due a huge marketing budget or what? I'm only 30 but maybe I'm becoming too old to "get it" when it comes to the whims of the modern gaming community.
Serious theories welcomed,

P.S. I see that even many of the members of RPGCodex are buying and playing Fallout 4 on their Steam accounts. lol, #irony
