Fallout series

[TVB]

This.

Hate-watching has become ubiquitous to the point where studios are deliberately inserting stuff into their films and shows that they know will provoke a reaction so that they can generate revenue from such outrage. Disney has nailed this to a T. It’s insidious and stupid.

As fun as it is to bitch about the crappy-looking trailer, there’s no way I’m giving viewership and ad money to Amazon for it. It’s not worth my time and the clowns behind the project have already established it’s not made for people like me.

Doesn’t mean I won’t be here when the salt comes pouring in tho

It's an advice that skeptic commentators refuse to take. They end up watching it "ironically" and make clickbait videos hoping to have people not watch it, even though these skeptics were the ones literally doing just the same.

Why can't people just take Jay Sherman's advice and not support soulless, unoriginal crap, especially when they know it's going to be trash?

Being raised by media their entire lives has resulted in a lack of personality and identity outside of the intellectual properties. To ignore the IP for these people is similar to ignoring a part of themselves. They just *can't* give it up.

This is why you tend to see late Gen X/Early Millennials cling to 80/90/00's television/film/video game properties while Late Millennials and Gen Z cling to internet media and personalities.

Yeah, it's so stupid, why bother spending money and consooming the garbage you can see from a mile away when you can save money by not consooming the garbage and just playing the good ol' games in a series you like. As soon as I saw that Slopout 4 would have four possible conversation options and I saw [SARCASTIC] I knew I'd never touch that garbage and I still haven't. I'd rather play 3 or NV despite the fact that they barely run on modern hardware, while ironically I never needed to install 5 separate stability mods just so that 1, 2 and Tactics (don't judge) don't shit themselves on my current PC.

This is one of the things I despise Bethesda and Todd Howard for. Not properly archiving and updating older Fallout games for new hardware and new generations. It's just more proof that they purchased the franchise to market their own ideas in an already built world and fanbase and basically leech off of the brand until it is dead.

I mean it's not just limited to the fallout games. Other than Skyrim, none of the elder scrolls games have been updated to work better on modern hardware nor re-released for newer consoles. Then again that can be said for many companies and franchises.

Wasn't there some work done to Morrowind for the One X?

there’s was some light dusting on a lot of the games I think, I know fallout 3 and NV had some fixes but nothing grand.

 

[Bunny Wigglesworth]

Indeed there was. Oblivion as well.

A lot of Gen Xers and millennials could not let their precious IPs go as they use them as their religion, which is why they never listen to the simple phrase, "stop supporting it." They are very illiterate as they pay more attention to media except for books. Education is something they do not remember as they tend to fall asleep in classes they used to attend when they were younger

I remember back in like 1999 when I was in third grade or so,, there was some news report about some percentage of people identifying their religion as "Jedi".

Even back then, as a child who was into Star Wars, I thought that was the lamest shit. And to my horror, I have only seen that kind of behavior become more and more mainstream.

I feel like Star Wars was my awakening into this horror. Hell, just a few years ago I told some nerds who were absolutely losing their shit over Disney that they should just ignore Disney and focus on EU stuff and they *physically* recoiled in horror at the thought and said they couldn't do it because "of the canon" as if it was holy scripture or something.

The idea of a jedi being used as a religion was more of a recurring joke than it was serious, at least compared to by the 2010s onward when Disney bought the IP. During the 90s and 2000s, while Star Wars was a huge franchise, it never became forced until Disney took over in 2012 and things have gotten worse, and The Last Jedi was the nail in the coffin of terrible things to come

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

As a hypothetical, who would you guys pick to direct a fallout movie?

gregg araki or ana lily amirpour. Whoever is in charge of Twisted Metal would be a great pick too. Crazy how all it takes is one nigger with a soul and brain to be able to bypass the typical DEI kikery and give us a rather amazing adaption/prequel of a video game

even with their inflated budgets??

IIRC much like Netflix or Marvel its a combination of a "we'll fix it in post" mentality and buying everything new and cheaply. I know people here won't like me using EEEAO as an example but that has roughly a quarter the budget per hour of this slop and because of a combination of planning everything out and working within limitations they churned out an amazing movie.

a post-nuclear war movie should be the cheapest fucking thing to make ever, the entire genre took off in the 70s because it was even cheaper to make than fucking westerns, Blood Drive came out a decade ago and the entire series cost less than a single episode of Secret Invasion or Stranger Things.

a Big Budget Fallout series ruins the entire concept. Its meant to be cheap and shitty. Its like making a western with a $150 million dollar budget, congrats you failed johnny depp! Thats a big reason the opening to Austin Powers 3 is absurdly expensive, to waste the increased budget because the ethnos of a james bond parody is that its cheap looking

Turbokid came out a decade ago and is closer to what a Fallout series should have been like than what the faggot brother of Chris Nolan thinks a fallout series should be like

Anybody knows what happened to the viva new vegas modlist on wabbajack?
Seems like all the new vegas stuff disappeared overnight from there.
And I really dont want to download every mod individually.

Yes but viva new vegas and its forks do not show up on wabbajack

No clue why or if it is a problem of mine

If you went back 30 years ago and said this people would assume you were a nut. It would have no meaning outside of our generation.

Look
When I try to explain how I mod my games people look at me like I am made of binary code and tubes.
And i just download and unzip most of the time.

I've seen mods disappear over the years, even ones that you would think would stay up all the time. Many of those are ones I cannot imagine playing without today.
Would be good to set aside a hard drive to mods you use so that you don't have to keep downloading them, especially since NV mods don't take up that much space by today's standards anymore unless you're an autist that needs to make all the textures 4K.

To be fair 1999 was an absolutely huge year for star wars and was basically the revival of the franchise, so I can see why people were getting stupid about it. Just look at the zeitgeist of the spring and summer of 1999 with star wars and that pepsi tie in stuff everywhere. Funny thing is one of those commercials had some idiot alien on some incel tier date essentially explaining the entire plot of episode 1 playing with pepsi cans in a 30 second commercial. Even the austin powers sequel joked about it in its ads with if you see one movie this summer see star wars, if you see two movies see austin powers the spy who shagged me. At least they weren't identifying their religion as sith. Then again a few future politicians probably did

But yeah, people do tend to latch on to the things they grew up with. Its more noticeable these days but every generation does it to some degree. Hell even the ww1 generation did it with their nostalgia for the 1890s. The reason it seems more prevalent today is because of modern technology and the internet making it hard to miss. As far as star wars go it always was a sort of big cultural thing that never really went away after the initial releases and then popped back up the moment they put out a new movie

Looking in their discord I can't find a reason why but one of the modders said it probably would never come back. Sucks, I was going to get my cousin to install for his first play-through.

Especially needed now since Nexus is now super pozzed. Not to mention some of the modders in the bethesda community that lock their mods behind a patreon.
