Fallout series

Imagine getting heated in a thread about a game you haven't played about a show of a game you haven't played.


You'll never know the feeling of 100% all achievements in fo3, and collecting every unique in your early days as a child.

You'll never know the feeling of platinuming foNV in highschool and the satisfaction of getting the "perfect ending" and getting as many of the uniques as possible.

Play moar.

Fucking hell. Just stop replying to the faggot. Ironically taking the bait to call him a retard is still taking the bait. It's like when Imperator gets on one his sperg streaks. Just ignore them and quit shitting up the thread even more than it already is. Same for tard raging over the shitty show you totally don't care about and totally aren't hate watching because you have nothing better to do with your time.

If you faggots keep it up, there won't be any room for crying about how Bethesda raped your childhood while Todd literally forced you irl to spend hundreds if not thousands of hours(with and without mods)on fallout 3/4 and how Obsidian cured your grandad's cancer and found you a boyfriend-free gamer girl who promises your penis is perfectly adequate. Or vice versa depending on which one you like more.
 
How do you get the full experience of Fallout 1&2 by just watching a video? How do your choices matter when someone else makes them for you?
This is basically the modern gameplay loop of Bethesda. No RPG mechanics. No choice and consequences. No real story or world. Just mindless shooting and looting of whatever pours out of the monster closets. No NPCs. No dialog. Yes, Yes, Yes, No (Sarcastic Yes). There is no real difference in watching someone play the game than playing it yourself.

These games are designed around streaming culture and social media. Not actually gaming or playing. They are barely games anymore. Just interactive movies and light shooters or puzzle games. The show was written the same way as well. No depth or subtly. Just humor for teenagers and immature pathetic loser types.
 
@The Pulverizer will the two of you go get a room or something? Jeesh.
He's being a relentless contrarian in non-Fallout threads too, it's clear he's just attention-seeking, stop shitting up the thread copying his line-by-line replies to you.
I didn't even provoke him, you absolute tard. I merely shared a gaming article without even mentioning his name and he responded with a very angry paragraph.

No, he's actually this retarded. Is earning the name CuckHowler baiting? This dude lets other men play his games for him.

Fallout 4 was dumbed down for the absolute lowest common denominator. The game plays more like Borderlands because Borderlands 2 was insanely popular back when 4 was in development. The game plays more like Call of Duty because they saw the modding scene kept making mods that added sprinting and grenade quick throwing. Now add in the usual open world slop mechanics (crafting, looting and scavenging materials, base building), and you have Fallout 4.

You can't even have much of a build in the game either. Countless times I've started new games with the idea of something like a gunslinger, or a melee centered build, or a sniper build. Every single time I'd find myself by level 20 not using any of the weapons appropriate to the build because 90% of the perks are just incremental stat boosts that increases damage slightly or lets me take slightly less damage. By level 50, I'm just running around in power armor blasting everything away with a minigun or missile launcher because I've given up with doing a build.

As a turn your brain off and enjoy blasting shit away, Fallout 4 excels in that. As a platform for modding and sandbox, Fallout 4 excels at that. But as an RPG you want to invest hours or even days into making a build or having a character with actual player agency, not so much. As I said before, it's really a shame how 76 somehow does a better job at being an actual RPG than 4.
 
I just found out about the book Blood Meridian and it’s fans remind me of New Vegas fans except worse because New Vegas has merit and Blood Meridian is edgy slop just for the sake of it.
>New Vegas has merit
Who are you and what have you done with Cyrus? I also remember an article from Sabotage Times shitting on it now that you remind me. I'd say Wendigoon is responsible for the rise of normies fucking up the Cormac McCarthy fanbase, though I personally like his work.
People say Bethesda isn't hostile to the modding community but for a company that is basically supported by it they sure do make it a pain in the fucking ass to keep your game running without them breaking it every couple years. Just make the update optional for fuck's sake.
It's funny, Bethesda is the only time you'll hear me whine about updates fucking up mods. Usually I'm all for a game continuing but only if that game is worth it without mods. People rely on mods too much and are willing to give Bethesda the free pass because "modders will fix it, it will be worth it with mods." Any game not worth it without mods is not a game worth your time with mods.
I wish the Enclave was brought back as a more nuanced faction.
Even if they just got rid of the genocide angle, the Pre-war government trying to reestablish itself, butting heads with the NCR and Legion, could be a very interesting storyline.
That's 1:1 the Enclave Redux (Enclave Reborn Redux?) mod for OWB (Hearts of Iron 4), mixed in with the Washington Brotherhood invading at the same time as Caesar's Legion not long after you beat the NCR. On Granite's route at least.
Plebbit? Sensible take? I can hear the trumpets of Doom already.
how the fuck have you never played wasteland 2/3? they really play up the whole "the nuclear war hit in the 90s" bit so you have shit like ronald regan worshiping cults and shit like that.
I like WL2 over WL3, but even then WL3 is pretty good.
Are those those top down games. I’m not really a fan of that.
Kinda? I mean it's best to look at it yourself and see if it's worth your time.
Speaking of a live action Doom adaptation, anything that isn’t in the style of that movie Hardcore Henry would be a mistake.
God damn that would sick if done right, which it won't. Every video game movie so shit because the people making them don't play or even look into the source material.
As expected, the same thing that's happened to comic books is now happening to videogames. I hope everyone here that enjoyed the show will enjoy Fallout 5 as a movie game, designed to appeal strictly to all the normies who watched the show.

Enjoy your TV slop. Soon it will be your only way of interacting with these franchises.
Responses are a collective "game journo moment." That article was awful as expected.
relevant for being an alt-right nazi KKKlansman racist bigot fascist that liking guns therefore he's evil
Given the state of anti-gun fags, liking guns makes you the devil. Also are people actually calling him a nazi? Not surprising in the slightest but lol.


OH MY FUCKING GOD, BRO! I LAUGHED SO HARD MY BIG MAC FELL ON THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO ORDER A NEW ONE. INSTEAD I GOT TWO NEW ONES BECAUSE I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!! :stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: :stress: :stress:
Oh God I didn't think it was real
:story:

"You smell good."
"You wanna have sex?"
It's like a sterotypical 4chan incel wrote this. "I HELD THE DOOR FOR A WOMAN AND SHE DIDN'T FUCK ME ON THE SPOT, FUCK WOMEN I'M GOING TO WRITE A CHARACTER WHO GETS OFFERED SEX FOR COMPLIMENTING A WOMAN BUT TURNS IT DOWN LIKE A CHAD" The horseshoe theory but with 4chan incels and Hollywood writers.
just say you dont like it instead of shitting up the thread by posting autistic shit like this or talking about how the franchise has fallen
"How dare you vent, chud." Every time with this people. Got to take out the thumb again.

stop shitting up the thread copying his line-by-line replies to you.
I can see why it would be hard not to though. As soon as he said that he hasn't played the first two games the thread blew up. After all that arguing too. :story:

CyrusHowler you should actually play fallout 1 it's not that hard and playing it is completely different from watching because I did both. Getting to the ending in fallout hits differently when doing it yourself. For instance my character killed the overseer at the end of the game. Then the cutsence played. You actually make the decision and role-play as the character you want to. My character was a drug addict who was a repairman, he mostly made good decisions but was also highly motivated by money and chems. This led him to work for Decker who he eventually sold out for money for chems.

Which is fucking bizarre because looting in Bethesda games is really not all that fun or satisfying. 80 percent of what you find is junk, there are virtually no unique weapons in terms of visual aesthetics or effects to find in Fallout 4. As a loot game it fucking sucks ass because there are no unique enemies to fight or things to pick up.

And I feel comparing Fallout 4 to Borderlands is, may Allah forgive me for uttering this phrase, an insult to Borderlands. That franchise does have a plot with distinct characters, you can't really influence it, but talking to the cast in Borderlands is a highlight of those games and the plot is at least coherent, even if ultimately shit. You can't say the same about Fallout 4.
CyrusHowler you should actually play fallout 1
Pretty sure he has been threadbanned.
 
So I know the Fallout 4 next-gen update had some weird modification with BA2 files making it incompatible, but for how long? Will someone attempt to make a backport of the next-gen update for anyone who doesn't want to update? I don't care much for the content, I'm more curious since I don't want to be stuck on the last version forever.
Pretty sure he has been threadbanned.
Yeah he DM'd me confirming this. Not sure how long though.

There’s a few replies calling Chris toxic for just questioning some of the plot mechanisms. Do not ask questions, just consume product and get excited for next product!

Wrong. The only relevant character was Handsome Jack. The entire cast on BL1/2/3/Prequel/Tales are just nothingburgers with almost no memorable/recognizable personalities other than oh one is a Siren, cool I guess. Also, BL3 burned the franchise to the ground, dunno what the fuck you are smoking when the comparison to FO4-BL is actually accurate.
