What I Want From Fallout 5

Now that Microsoft has acquired Bethesda, it's worth thinking about what we'd like to see in a hypothetical Fallout 5.

But the series has shown plenty of all the dirty shit the United States did before the Great War.

Fallout 4 alone mentioned internment camps for Chinese-Americans, food riots, marshal law, and had several military checkpoints scattered throughout Boston. The Automatron DLC also demonstrates how Robobrains were made, they were once prisoners (some murderers, some insane, and some that did only minor crimes) that had their brains harvested while alive to become the organic CPUs of combat robots (funnily enough, this was information provided by a developer interview during the Interplay era, so kudos for Bethesda canonizing that).

Even Fallout 76, for its many flaws, demonstrated how badly the mining community got fucked over by corporate fatcats wanting to save some cash, and had a West-Tek lab that poisoned a towns water supply with FEV (the army quarantined the town and kept the residents prisoner while they slowly became Super Mutants).

What more could Fallout 5 need beyond retconning the US as being as "racist" and "sexist" as it supposedly is now?

Patrick Klepeck is pathetic thinking that a video game needs to do this, is probably fat, and I would not have sex with him.

This is Patrick Klepek, loathed and despised by all sane human beings.

This is the guy who dictates your morality to you. This fucker is your moral SJW superior, you need to kneel to him, submit to him, consider him your arbiter of every moral struggle you have. This fucking guy.

Pretty sure America was protecting the Great Lakes because IT'S IN THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY. The only other nation that had any other rights to it was Canada, and they lost. So there.

If anything it was China's fault for invading Anchorage.

I'd like to restate the above but he burns out his career by being called out on twitter and gets socially crucified, the worst death for an sjw.

And a kick in the nuts. For science.

That website says Patrick Tierney not Klepick, did Klepick change his name? I thought he was with Vice.

Someone is jelly because he doesn’t have big iron on his hip
Seriously fuck this guy

 

[Marissa Moira]

They took down the classic cut, so now all you have is the full video showing what a faggot he is. He can't shield his eyes from the truth.

At least the thumbnail shows it.

yup, it's not patrick klepick but some other yokel named patrick. As far klepick goes, he apologized for his youthful edgelord days and the games journalists circled their wagons in defense of him. he's married to an ugly woman.

As for MGS, are all of you forgetting MGSurvive? it was shitty and boring.

Hatred of America but yet in the Fallout lore, China was equally as responsible as the US for turning the world into a wasteland.

Hatred of America but yet in the Fallout lore, China was equally as responsible as the US for turning the world into a wasteland.

Come to think of it, while we've seen plenty of dirty laundry made by the US, we haven't seen much Chinese laundry.

Should there ever be a spinoff set in China, it'll be interesting to see what the CCP has done to their people.

Aside from what they've already done in reality, anyway.

Unfortunately, that would garner too much controversy for Zenimax to handle if they tackled China in a bad light. It'll hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and investors if they went ahead and did that. Why do you think there aren't any Chinese antagonists in a COD game?

True, and Fallout is so steeped in Americana that the odds of a spinoff taking place outside the US are very slim.

I really want a UK fallout so they can have a scene where an ancient nuke goes off and the player is forced to hide in a phonebooth to protect themselves as the blast sends it flying.

Why, yes, I do try my best to imagine that I live in a timeline without it, thank you for breaking my blissful illusion.

You're right. Will fix it.

These journalists are all so similar and move from site to site so much I wouldn't be surprised if it was Klepeck.

A Fallout game set in Morrowind would be pretty cool.

Games Journalists and influencers trying to cause a rush on CRT monitors and TVs because "they can never make more CRTs since the technology is lost, the number of them is finite and dwindles every day"


even fucking non-games channels trying to get in on the action.

I get the love for CRTs for old consoles and arcades. But what the hell is the point of using them with your PC?

The only thing I can think of is that if you punch the screen your hand won't go through the other side of the monitor like modern flat screens.

Or they're emulating the same old console games and want some trendy "authentic" set up, despite playing with an xbox 360 controller on a non-console.
