Fallout series

Fallout 4 looks like shit compared to 3 though. 3 had better Art direction despite it looking shittier. 4 has better shooting mechanics, but the design of everything is shit. It feels more sterile than 3.

I find the Fallout 4 aesthetic abhorrent. What a fucking downgrade from 3. Somebody was clearly like "So it's retrofuture. That means everything is big and goofy like in the 40s!" And just went full retard from there.

In 3 weapons and the art deco design had a distinct bulkiness but it was kind of hostile and sharp. Compare the 10mm in both games. In 3 the 10mm is a big, boxy, square gun you could still believe is a sidearm people would use. In 4 the pistol is this gigantic cylindrical tube monstrosity that looks like absolute refried ass.

They made everything, even military technology, what publications like Popular Mechanics were pushing as the future of civilian/consumer life. It makes 0 sense to apply this to everything, but just like with civilization somehow not coming back at all and no one knowing how to clean up for 200 years in Bethesda fallout, they just went stupid and over did it.

My issue was that it seemed like retro-70’s future rather than retro-50’s future. The plastic and pastel colors they used were bad. It’s like they over corrected from the Green-Gray of Fallout 3. I did like that structures that survived 200+ years were stone. I liked when people did patchwork fixes like they do in Modern Africa.

The color in the games should be from lived in places. It shouldn’t be from plastic that should be sun bleached from 200+ years.

Keyword is this, theres a ways to tastefuly do it, fallout 4 went unrealistically overboard. Another issue I have with the game is lack of static objects, every building in that game (including the ones that are just rubble) are build bit by bit like in the crafting menu and it slows the game down and makes it too chunky. everything is fat and obnoxiously designed.

Wrestling thread cuz it’s a place to discuss what happens week to week without the aforementioned weaklings.

Never could get into Wrestling, I tried but it ain't for me.

Hell, half the Van Buren design doc makes me fucking cringe. Enclave space stations?

Gives me fuckin' PTSD from The Frontier.

Oh yeah, didn't she voice Magnolia?

Posters like HHH were shitting up Jersh's inbox bitching about all the neg stickers they were getting instead of clicking the option to turn notifications off, so he just disabled it for everybody.

lmao this is total bullshit. it was the A&H chuds who would bitch and whine to null about getting downvoted from people like HHH and secret watcher. Don't try to rewrite history. I've never once seen anyone outside of an A&H sperg bitch about getting stickers.

You're both wrong, it was Josh realizing through people bitching about negrates (both sides tbh) that people actually used sticker notifs as their primary feed for using the website, and utter zoomer normie behavior like that so offended him as a Web 2.0 kid that he turned off the feature so they'd learn how to actually navigate a web forum.

They get tax credits for running advertisements. Not even joking. Fallout likely receives close to $50million per season in some type of tax scam deal with either a state government or the federal government. They already have $25million in California tax credits alone for the second season of Fallout that they have negotiated. With even more on the way.

New Vegas brought things back down to a more grounded world and story.

It looks like shit in all the fallout games. 10mm pistols don’t look like that shit. They look like 1911’s, SIG’s and Glocks and whatnot.

and no one knowing how to clean up for 200 years in Bethesda fallout

New Vegas either if you wanna go there.

Never could get into Wrestling, I tried but it ain't for me.

It’s great except when it’s not, just like a lot of things.

Gives me fuckin' PTSD from The Frontier.

I was laughing so hard at all the NV fanboys. Shit was great to witness.
God Bless the Sneedclave.

Yes.
10/10 game.

Damn, that sucks. I liked getting the notifications. Yeah, I grew up with the earliest web but the dopamine hit from seeing something like 20 upvotes was still real. And whenever I did a shit post as opposed to a shitpost it was a nice reminder to post better.

We better tie his faggy ass to a chair and force feed him cheddar until he changes his mind.

Might be old news but the guy who made all of those Millenia weapon mods for New Vegas trooned out lmao

Same with the ZL armaments guy, he even has some weird trans flag signal as his logo

So I actually went and played through the New Creation Club content they added, it was all ok I think but really wasn't worth breaking the entire modding scene for god knows how long. It leads to some funny situations where you can be talking to a BOS member who was alive during the war with the Enclave in set full Enclave power armor and they just don't care. There's also some bugs with the Creation Club stuff, like the Tesla canon seems to lack a reload animation so when you reload it it just instantly jumps to a fresh charge with no animation, but the Power Armor is all around pretty good and has a lot of paint options which I like. The Update really should have been nothing more than the Creation Club content getting added for free, the half-assed Widescreen support and the "bug fixes" that still ignore major bugs that were fixed in 76 are totally useless.

Replaying New Vegas, spent a couple of hours setting up all the mod and patch shit to stabilize the PC version. I finally got into the game only to be killed by jumping into a barrel that proceeded to physics me to death. My character is weak as shit and I'm on hard mode so even the Geckos are pushing me around. Start killing those wasp fuckers around the graveyard, get cocky and chase down one that tries to run away down the mountain. Kill the fucker only to shit myself as soon as I realize I just jumped into a burrow of giant, roid-rage scorpions. Fucking hoof it back to Goodsprings. Hope the scorpions didn't spot me. Save. Realize that they did spot me. The aggro'd army of scorpions set upon the town. The entire population of Goodsprings is now dead.

You know, I wasn't going for a good karma playthrough anyway, but I feel kind of bad.

That is rather unfortunate.

You should of led Deathclaws to Goodsprings instead.

I've been keeping up on the Fallout 4 modding scene in the aftermath of the update and a few more discoveries have been made.
Alongside the New FO4 update the CK got a update too, this update for the CK brings along a new version of the BA2 file type. (BA2 is a pack file sorta like a zip or rar but its only for CK engine games.) This new BA2 version is not backwards compatible with older versions of Fallout 4, meaning if you stay behind a version new mods will not work for you. However the new version of FO4 is backwards compatible with old BA2 files, meaning it should, in theory, load mod BA2s just fine. No one's really said what is or isn't broken yet in regards to mods, the new update seemed to mess with retexture mods, and I had issues getting certain model replacer mods to load but others work fine, but there isn't a big list of what will and won't work yet.

God damn, they really wanted to make sure you couldn't downgrade without consequences. Watch this happen with Skyrim someday, the idea of people preferring the old versions because they prefer mods over Bethesda's bullshit probably makes them seeth.

>Ffs this shit won't reply right.

Haha, perfect.

At least i still have my semi-unmodded FO4 pre-amashit patch.
