It is funny how Nuka Break, a fan film with a microscopic budget, managed to remain closer to the IP in terms of lore, intent, and soul than anything Amazon or Bethesda has made. Even it's goofy shit, like Twig being mutated in the vault to be healed by Nuka Cola, is more clever than anything they did.
Fallout 1 and 2 are pretty short all things considered. You should give them a whirl.
Nuka Break was also liked by the fans, there is even a reference to the show in one of the New Vegas DLCs
1 is pretty short, is roughly on par with more modern games and will take you about 2 week to complete, more if you're playing the game for the first time.
Well I'd chalk that up to there being a timer to 1 and 2 being a distinctly more freeform and leisurely pace, where you are directed even less than 1.
Only the first half of the game is timed without some sort of fanmods. Truth of the matter is that the first game was horribly rushed and only a portion of content the devs wanted was implemented, Boneyard is more representative of how barebones the content there is rather than anything else for example. An entire gang war arc was cut and butchered into what is now known as the Regulator vs Blades quest.
I still have some hope for Yesterday. The skeleton is there (I was able to go from start to finish), now he needs to put some meat on it, and probably cut down the cancerous growth that is the first section of the mod.
The only good bits are those taken directly from Van Buren. Everything else is amateur at best and absolute shit at worst. This is the problem with many mods that try to put their own spin on Van Buren instead of just remaking it 1:1.
Frontier and New California killed my enthusiasm for TC mods based on NV \ F4. Most of them die in early stages of development, those that do come out are shit,
RB just had a demo released, so I am optimistic at least. They seem to be following Van Buren docs well so far, I will try out their demo in a little bit to judge for myself.
It's a great game but generally it's much more fun with friends but the AI is **** I think there's a mod to fix it.
They were forced to pepper the entire game with them because Interplay wanted Fallout to go mainstream and thought that sex and pop culture references would make the game more popular with normalfags. Yes, really, this is also why that awful, forced tutorial dungeon was mandated(the devs hated it, too). This is why we eventually got POS for PS2 and Xbox, this is the endgame of what Interplay wanted Fallout to be. People might curse Todd and Bethesda for ruining the franchise a second time, but in a way we should be grateful that Interplay went under and couldn't fuck with the IP anymore. If Van Buren would have came out, it would have likely been Fallout's swan song in the same way as New Vegas is today, and any other entries would have been more POS tier slop for the lowest common denominator.
Seeing how many people say Fo2 is the best in the franchise next to NV, I'd say they succeeded for better and worse.
If that was true, Interplay wouldn't go out of business and they definitely wouldn't have to resort to making POS later on lmfao
I'm simply referring to the abundance of pop culture shit and lolz whacky humor making the game more popular/accessible to the mainstream normie. Not in a "Fo2 kept them from dying" way because clearly they failed on that front lol.
Well, they failed in that department too since Fallout was a niche franchise no normalfag knew about until Fallout 3. Even POS failed and that game was pretty much tailor made for dude bros and teenage boys who owned an xbox or a PS2.
Don't bother downloading it from the official source, go get it from Fit Girl. That one is already set up, ie you can keep your Fallout 4 folder and your London folder. All you do is hit play(that is, after downloading all the mods and fixes).
fuck, i'll have to wait until i get tired of FO4 which'll be pretty soon since all the neat alt-start and modern weapons mods are broken. the only mods i've seen work are the big boob butt slider ones.
Don't worry, it's way less confusing than it sounds. I do have to stress that you should never cross beams, Fallout 4 settings in London can break the game and force a fresh re-install. Conversely, London settings loaded when starting Fallout 4 can break your game as well. You can keep both games on your hard drive, just make sure to only have one active playthru of either game and switch files in the main Fallout 4 documents/appdata folder appropriately, since they both use the same folder for checking data and keeping savefiles.
You mean NetImmersive?
