Fallout series

[Trans Fat 41g]

Why is it the responsibility of the posters of this thread to determine this?

This, and seeing how Halo is going under Microsoft, who's to say that the situation will ever improve?

I'm asking a serious question. Because now is the perfect time to look for a developer other than Bethesda. People pretty much universally think of them as bad for Fallout, so why not name other studios who can do better? Especially since Microsoft sometimes listens to fans, so if fans make enough of a stink about it, we might actually get a Fallout game that's *gasp* not made by Bethesda.

inXile could be a safe bet if Microsoft wanted a new isometric Fallout or remakes of 1 & 2 in the style of the new Wasteland games, a modern style Fallout would be up in the air until they get that steampunk RPG finished (could be a good experience, or a mediocre dud like The Outer Worlds was).

With Fallout 76 getting some of its development shifted over to a third party studio, it's possible that Bethesda Austin could have a whack at a new game at some point (maybe they can use their online experience to integrate co-op?). I could also see Bethesda & Microsoft create a new studio to handle Fallout so that we can get games more often than 15 years.

Maybe they can do both. Have InXile or old Black Isle/Obsidian veterans make isometric Fallout games in the West Coast, and have the Fallout 76 team make more FPS/RPG-style games on the East Coast. That way, you have two separate Fallout continuities that sometimes reference each other, but rarely ever meet. That way, you can satisfy fans of Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas, as well as fans of Fallout 3, 4, and 76.

Imagine taking faction discussions seriously instead of just using them to bait the soy side of the Fallout fandom like redditors and whoever still sucks The Frontier's dick


Even pointing out Liberty Prime was cool stupidty makes these types soy out, you get downright nuclear responses if you bat for the Enclave lmao

Gesh, Im legit trying to focus on the autism wars but this is basically becoming Lord Imperator vs The Thread


Anyway...maybe this is old news but I saw we are getting a legit Amazon Prime series of Fallout...

God help us all...

Fallout 3 gets a bad rap, it's a solid game, but it's best treated as a soft reboot as tonally there are some inconsistencies, which I think is what bothered hardcore fans of the first 2 back in 2008.

But taken as it's own thing, it's good and better than 4 and 76 and of course leagues ahead of the absolute garbage of Brotherhood of Steel.

But it's New Vegas that is the one that is totally in continuity with the first 2, Bethesda's take on the franchise isn't worthless (problems with 4 and 76 aside), but it's also not really the real McCoy either.

Fallout 3 gets a bad rep thanks to purists and people refusing to see it for what it is. It has flaws indeed but I would still consider it comfortably part of the series (76, on the other hand, tho...).

Look my retarded chosen one was so hot, once she was done with Frank Horrigan he couldn’t walk.

Frank couldnt handle the Snu-Snu it seems.
Or maybe the FEV made him biggy except...you know where. And the bigger body only makes it even smaller looking.

Screw ya’ll meta. I want my strong sexy Derp One to have her own spin-off saga.

Frank is a sterile, self-hating mutant who decides to self-destruct the moment he’d lost his flaccid cock. The entire outro is a homage to eunuchs with rage.

Frank couldnt accept that under all that FEV he was still...

I love Fallout 2 but pretty much entirely for the quests and reactivity. The main plot - from the Enclave down to you being a retarded tribal - was pretty bad. Even beyond the pop culture references you had dumb ideas like intelligent deathclaws (which, iirc, even Avellone regrets).

I'm unsure how much that would change anything. Fallout purists like the NMA crowd would just declare their games to be "true canon" anyway and would continue to complain how Bethesda Fallout is popular despite it being "fake canon".

Well, you can't win them all. It is impossible to please those who, by default, revel in being angry and dissatisfied with Bethesda's Fallout. To them, it is not enough that New Vegas is more popular than Fallout 3, 4, or 76 combined, the very existence of such games are a religious insult that warrants an eternal fatwa.

Fallout 3 (and NV to a slightly smaller extent) are like comfort food but gaming.

These games just make me...comfortable. There is this charm about them that just sticks with you. Especially when this track kicks in, you are running on the planes of the wasteland and the sun is setting in the horizon. Likely with only Dogmeat around since there isnt a playthrough where I dont get that little rascal (and then suffer emotional damage when he dies since it was only vanilla I had back then)

Suddenly Im back, it was just me, my 3D TV (look, it was the time when they were new), my new PS3 (with F3 being the first game I got for it) and my vacation days that seemed like would last forever...

Yeah, Im glad the smart deathclaws never returned, I kind of prefer when they are this freak thing that happened once and never again. The deathclaws work better as a threat instead of actual characters.

F2 just tries to one up the original a lot sometimes, as if to say "oh look, remember the deathclaws!? Now they are smart! Cool, huuuuh?!"

Part of me wishes that Fallout 4 would get a Special Edition like Skyrim did, but it would have weapons from 76 backported.

The Plasma Caster, 50 Cal Machine Gun, Gatling Gun, Pump-Action Shotgun, and Blackpowder weapons would be fun to have.

Shit, at this point that would be a better way to celebrate 25 years of Fallout than just daily missions with extra steps.

I'm still waiting for an answer to my main question. If you guys all think Bethesda is bad for Fallout, then who can do a better job?

Jesus Christ you gigantic autist shut the fuck up.

I just will never touch 76 because I don't want an MMO, I want the single player with mods and me being able to fuck around at will.

This is pretty much how I feel about 76. It just does not appeal to me in any way. I dislike multiplayer shit as a rule but not only is 76 a multiplayer title it's a manipulative and shitty microtransaction filled one as well.

With Fallout 76 getting some of its development shifted over to a third party studio, it's possible that Bethesda Austin could have a whack at a new game at some point (maybe they can use their online experience to integrate co-op?). I could also see Bethesda & Microsoft create a new studio to handle Fallout so that we can get games more often than 15 years.

I don't know, Microsoft has produced practically nothing worth playing so far despite effectively owning half the industry at this point. I think people are being optimistic when they expect Microsoft ownership is going to do anything but slow down development for new games.

Fallout 3 was a really earnest attempt by Bethesda to take Fallout and translate it into a first person RPG. They got really close, it's not perfect, but compared to the later entries in the franchise before Bethesda took over it's significantly better.

Yeah, the main plot was really underwhelming, and really not much better than 3's. If anything, it was probably a little worse. It was very obvious they rushed it like crazy and it's extremely linear. 1's main quest wasn't a masterpiece or anything, but it facilitated the rest of the game and all the side stuff a lot better.

Amazon's Fallout series can work or not. I really hope its do.

I'd keep my expectations REALLY low...

Fallout isnt even a series you can adapt in a "linear" manner I'd argue. Too much happens in these games but if they only focus on the main plots themselves, there is then too little.
These sort of games just werent meant to be adapted without a lot of changes that will not be welcomed.

I'd rather have it be good just to have Fallout get some love for its anniversary, but this year has been terrible for video game shows (Halo was a failure as soon as the helmet came off, and Resident Evil was utterly abysmal), and this show's being helmed by the guys who ran Westworld into the ground.

The one thing this has going for it is not having Netflix involved, and even then Amazon's letting Lord of the Rings get fucked over.
