Here is a little response ditty from me to the writer of,
And the readers of,
This IGN review of...
DLC Fallout 4 Automatron!
My response is too lengthy for IGN so I am placing it here.

THE HORROR IN MY FALLOUT GAMES
(Herndon, Virginia)
I am one man who has literally played Fallout 3 to death! And... I still cannot get enough of Fallout 3! It shocks me still when I read so many ignorant comments and observations about Fallout 4... and it is obvious to me that these people never played more than a few hours of Fallout 3. They would KNOW certain things about the game-play and the characters in Fallout 4 as they relate to Fallout 3.
In fact, I know MANY people who found Fallout 3 so difficult that they never made it out of Vault 101... and so, never played past the 10 hour point in the game.
I respect Fallout 4. I really like Fallout 4. But, Fallout 3 is FANTASTIC! The difficulty in Fallout 3 is the reason that game is so fantastic. Fallout 3 does not hold your hand. Either you get with the science fiction horror program or you are slashed to pieces by a Deathclaw. Even fully tricked out and leveled-up to the max, you will never feel secure with yourself in Fallout 3... and that is what makes me always go back to it.
And, to those of you who are all in with your Fallout 4 play, in Fallout 3 you have to EARN the right to use Power Armor... and it is not easy!
The writer of the above article calls the villain of this side story “a silly self-proclaimed supervillain called the Mechanist” Well, in Fallout 3 he was NOT so silly as he and his enemy were terrorizing a small village. And it was up to you to make it stop... by any means possible... like, on the other extreme, killing him or his enemy... or both of them, if you were feeling homicidal.
Anyway, I am saying all of this to let everybody know... PLAY FALLOUT 3! It is frightening, HARD, fun, terrorizing at times and filled with the wonder you are finding in Fallout 4... times 10!
All should hail Fallout 3!
